Miscegenation is a term referring to sexual relations between individuals of different racial origins. Popularly known as "race mixing".

Merriam-Webster: "a mixture of races; especially: marriage, cohabitation, or sexual intercourse between a white person and a member of another race" Miscegenationist is a person who engages in miscegenation. Miscegenational is the appropriate adjective

Contemporary usage of the term "miscegenation" is less frequent than it once was, and the term is sometimes considered offensive by the PC establishment.

Word Origin

Miscegenation comes from the Latin miscere, "to mix" and genus, "kind". It is an Americanism dating to 1863.

The etymology of the word is tied up with political conflicts during the American Civil War over the abolition of slavery and potential racial integration of black Americans.

Igor and Grichka Bogdanoff are a product of miscegenation, being a quarter Black African.

Anonymous Pamphlet

"Miscegenation: The Theory of the Blending of the Races, Applied to the American White Man and Negro" was the name of a propaganda pamphlet printed in New York City in December of 1863, and the first known instance of the word's use. The pamphlet purported to be in favor of promoting the intermarriage of whites and blacks until they were indistinguishably mixed, claiming this was the goal of the Republican Party.

Identity of the Pamphleteers

The pamphlet was revealed to be a written by Democrats David Goodman Croly, managing editor of the New York World, a Democratic Party paper, and George Wakeman, a World reporter. It was an attempt by anti-Lincoln Northern Democrats (the so-called "Copperheads") to discredit the Republicans, the Lincoln administration, and the abolitionist movement.

Some radical elements of the abolitionist movement did in fact did support the goals of the pamphlet, but it was largely because mass-miscegenation was so repulsive to the common man that the "black propaganda" was effective.

Opposition to Miscegenation

Miscegenation is widely reviled across the world, because it leads to the annihilation of racial integrity and to a coalescing of different racial stocks which destroys racial diversity. Wherever there racial diversity existed in the colonial world, anti-miscegenation laws were demanded.

Anti-Miscegenation Laws

In North America, laws against interracial marriage and interracial sex were enforced in the Thirteen Colonies from the late seventeenth century onwards, and subsequently in many U.S. states and territories until 1967, when Loving v. Virginia overturned the laws.

Proposed Anti-Miscegenation Amendments to the U.S. Constitution

Frederick Douglass, Miscegenationist

At least three proposed Constitutional amendments to bar interracial marriage have been introduced before the U.S. Congress.[1]

  • In 1871, Representative Andrew King, a Democrat of Missouri, was the first politician to propose banning interracial marriage nation-wide. King proposed this amendment because he feared that the Fourteenth Amendment, ratified in 1868 to give ex-slaves citizenship (the Freedmen) as part of the process of Reconstruction, would someday render laws against interracial marriage "unconstitutional". He was correct, as the case of Loving v. Virginia in 1967 demonstrated.
  • In December 1912 and January 1913, Representative Seaborn Roddenbery, a Democrat of Georgia, again introduced a proposal in the House of Representatives to insert a prohibition of miscegenation into the US Constitution. According to the wording of the proposed amendment, "Intermarriage between Negroes or persons of color and Caucasians... within the United States... is forever prohibited." Roddenbery's proposal was more severe because it defined the racial boundary between whites and "persons of color" by applying the one-drop rule. In his proposed amendment, anyone with "any trace of African or Negro blood" was banned from marrying a white spouse.
Roddenbery's proposed amendment was a direct reaction to black boxer Jack Johnson's marriages to white women, first to Etta Duryea and then to Lucille Cameron. In 1908, Johnson had become the first black boxing world champion, having beaten Tommy Burns. Johnson's marriages to and affairs with white women infuriated white Americans. In his speech introducing his bill before the United States Congress, Roddenbery compared the marriage of Johnson and Cameron to the enslavement of white women, and warned of future civil war that would ensue if interracial marriage was not made illegal nationwide:
"No brutality, no infamy, no degradation in all the years of southern slavery, possessed such villainious character and such atrocious qualities as the provision of the laws of Illinois, Massachusetts, and other states which allow the marriage of the Negro, Jack Johnson, to a woman of Caucasian strain. [Applause]. Gentleman, I offer this resolution ... that the States of the Union may have an opportunity to ratifty it. ... Intermarriage between whites and blacks is repulsive and averse to every sentiment of pure American spirit. It is abhorrent and repugnant to the very principles of Saxon government. It is subversive of social peace. It is destructive of moral supremacy, and ultimately this slavery of white women to black beasts will bring this nation a conflict as fatal as ever reddened the soil of Virginia or crimsoned the mountain paths of Pennsylvania. ... Let us uproot and exterminate now this debasing, ultra-demoralizing, un-American and inhuman leprosy"
Congressional Record, 62d. Congr., 3d. Sess., December 11, 1912, pp. 502–503.
Roddenbery's proposal of the anti-miscegenation amendment unleashed a wave of racialist support for the move: 19 states that lacked such laws proposed their enactment. However, Wyoming in 1913 was the only state lacking such a law that enacted one.[citation needed] Also in 1913, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, which had abolished its anti-miscegenation law in 1843, enacted a measure (not repealed until 2008[2]) that prevented couples who could not marry in their home state from marrying in Massachusetts.[3]
  • In 1928, Senator Coleman Blease, a Democrat of South Carolina, proposed an amendment that went beyond the previous ones, requiring that Congress set a punishment for interracial couples attempting to get married and for people officiating an interracial marriage. This amendment was also never enacted.[4]
