In 1896, an American court ruling, resulting from the Plessy vs. Ferguson case, meant that African American were allowed to marry each other.

However, they were still unable to marry white people. This continued until 1967, when the Loving v. Virginia case resulted in the Supreme Court, putting an end to anti-miscegenation laws across America.

No. It's a free country. Interracial dating/marriage between black men and white women or between black women and white men are allowed. If you're a white and you want to date a black man go for it. No one is allowed to stop you. Not even white people who hate black people or black people who hate white people. It's none of their business.

Did slaves get married to their owners?

Slaves could not be married to their owners, for their owners were most likely white. Back during the Civil War; and before then, it was not necessarily a law, but un-allowed for a black man to marry a white woman, or a black woman to marry a white man. I believe, to marry a white woman or man and be black, I think you must be an ex- slave. You can't be a slave if you marry a slave owner.
