The lovings movie

The movie was a very different point of view for me. Normally, people at this time, don't know how is to suffer from something like that. To suffer from not being able to be free to love whoever they want,  to feel consequences to do so, to be in constant fear that one day they will be forced to separate from each other. How hard was for them to know that many people seem their marriage as a threat to the community. How people were seeing their kids as something bad and even call them names like bastards.
I think today will be difficult for people to be openly against interracial marriages even though they have negative feelings about it. Most importantly, I do think that in today’s society, people still think that is better to preserve their races and marry someone of the same race. I know because even part of my family still thinks in that way. However, there is a lot of change since then and it's even normal to see people who identify themselves as multiracial. There’s a lot of differences from the past, but they're still a lot of changes to make to be able to see a big change.
