The next step for South Carolina? It would of course be repealing the tax-exempt status of all the subsidiaries and affiliates owned by the racist, (whites only until 1975) Bible school Bob Jones University.<\/p>\n<p>Click on these links for more information:<\/p>\n<p>*SC State Constitution Ban on Interracial Marriage*<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.holysmoke.org\/skeptic-tank\/mar.htm\">http:\/\/www.holysmoke.org\/skeptic-tank\/mar.htm<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.charleston.net\/pub\/news\/politics\/2amends1104.htm\">http:\/\/www.charleston.net\/pub\/news\/politics\/2amends1104..htm<\/a><\/p>\n<p>*Bob Jones University Ban on Interracial Dating*<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/rapidnet.com\/~jbeard\/bdm\/Psychology\/bju\/fundam.htm\">http:\/\/rapidnet.com\/~jbeard\/bdm\/Psychology\/bju\/fundam.htm<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.multiracial.com\/letters\/bobjonesuniversity.html\">http:\/\/www.multiracial.com\/letters\/bobjonesuniversity.html<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.multiracial.com\/letters\/bjuapplication.html\">http:\/\/www.multiracial.com\/letters\/bjuapplication.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>One Down, One to Go &#8211; With yesterday&#8217;s lifting of South Carolina&#8217;s ban, Alabama remains the only state with a ban on interracial marriage. While this ban is unenforceable, it is a disgusting reminder of an equally disgusting era. Alabama readers, tell Governor-Elect Siegelman and your state legislators that you want to live in 1998, not 1898. It&#8217;s time for the state that brought us such &#8220;great&#8221; men as staunch segregationist George Wallace to prove that it too can grow up.
