Interracial couple denied marriage license in Louisiana

Best quote ever:

Louisiana justice of the peace wrote:

"I'm not a racist. I just don't believe in mixing the races that way," Bardwell told the Associated Press on Thursday. "I have piles and piles of black friends. They come to my home, I marry them, they use my bathroom. I treat them just like everyone else."

That just blows every other "I'm not a racist but..." comment out of the water.

petes

He is definitely not a racist!

herya

They'll sue his sorry ass

ejmaztec

It would have been allowed if they were related to each other, and the groom was called Cletus.

Jesus Wept

They come to my home, I marry them, they use my bathroom

You may now use the bathroom...

AnonoBoy

They use my bathroom

What the hell does that prove?

Jesus. I'd let Brendan O'Connor use my bathroom if he needed to go but I still hate the f*cker.

How does one go about becoming "Justice of the peace"?

Mock away, but I think this guy could be onto something...

Euro_Kraut

A Louisiana justice of the peace said he refused to issue a marriage license to an interracial couple out of concern for any children the couple might have.

Oh no!! They could end up having children that grow up smart and charismatic enough to be President of the US!

They could end up looking like Halle Berry or Jessica Abla too!

An article like this is the opium of the liberals. Go on knock yourselves out, blame all and sundry.

Yeah those pesky liberals with their human rights and whatnot.

Feckin' nogoodnik hippies.

It's obviously the couple's fault for being born of different races in the first place.

Oh I'd like him to try to defend his point in front of Obama... and maybe Oprah Winfrey, I think she's of mixed race as well.

NothingMan

I wonder if he would have had the same issue with an asian or even just a dark skinned italian. I would say he proably only considers black people the different race. It's mental.

Just to clear up a confusion. Is a nation a race? ie. Are we the Irish race?

If so would he not marry a girl of say irish decent with a guy of say german decent, bith of whom are 4/5th generation Americans?

It's quite possible that the Justice of the Peace has got some black ancestry as well, but doesn't know it. Someone should do the bastard's family tree.

As long as the chick is fat and ugly, who cares.

But seriously, nothing against it at all, but if they have kids, Is it racist to be a bit peeved at white people being bred out?! Kinda depressing tbh.

In Minnesota, 44% of black men have a wife of another race.
That is the highest in America - I doubt Louisiana of all places has a percentage anywhere near as high.

Black and yellow don't mix dammit

I'm not sure what your point is? The current President is mixed race. He is an intellegent and articulate man and is extremly popular in the US and abroad. This goes against this oddballs notions of what mix race kids are like.

JupiterKid

It just reinforces that notion that Louisiana is a backward redneck State full of bigoted racist KKK supporting idiots.

It doesn't do that place any favours...:rolleyes:

Yes, that's racist. As a bonus it's also ignorant, in as much as it is lacking any sort of understanding of how genetic populations work.

Horsefumbler

If a white boy wants a bit of darker meat its normally ok. but if its a darkie going for some white ass then thats when it becomes an issue. That seems to be the way its looked at innit.

Yes, it is incredibly racist. You say the white people are being 'bred out'? That says it all really. You've totally missed the point that if this couple had children, the 'black genes' would be diluted too. But that doesn't matter, does it, because they're not the "master race"? :rolleyes:

personally speaking i would never marry a black woman, just not my cup of tea. would't try and stop anyone else from doing so though

I think his point is that there are about 3 billion black people and only about 1.5 billion white (figures from my hat).
Because there are more black people than white people, there is a larger chance that there will be no 'pure' white people left, eventually, and that characteristics associated with being white will be subsumed.

Also while nearly all areas of white population now have large black minorities, there are many locations where there are only black people and no white/asian (why do racial purists always forget the Asians:P) minorities to 'dilute' their blood. So there isn't the same issue regarding black people being bred out.

Probably we'll end up with a situation like Brazil all over the world, with most people being of mixed ancestry eventually.
And Brazillians tend to be hot.

starbelgrade

Just goes to show that you can have black friends & still be a racist. The two are not inseperable.

I really think if this was pointed out to more people then racism against inter-racial marriages would quickly be a thing of the past.

Interbreeding between races can't be a bad thing. It certainly beats inbreeding that leads to all sorts of bad stuff.

And who can argue with hot beige babes (male or female)? Oh Rio, Rio.

So is Barack Obama a mixed race US President or an African-American one?

Oh yeah them shantytown-resident girls are smokin'.....

Brazil is kind of like Ireland. We pretend to the world that we are more friendly than the average by showcasing friendly people and putting up propaganda that we are some sort of fair isle. Brazil does the same with their apparant beauties running around the place on beaches. Far away from anywhere tourists won't visit. They are as hot or 'unhot' as any other country.

I consider him mixed race, but if he wants to identify as black that's understandable. Someone who is 1/2 or 1/4 black will almost always be considered 'black' by white people. A lot of Irish people see me as non-white, and I'm only 1/4 Italian (which of course, is still as Caucasian as being 100% Irish). In the States I'm just another white girl, over here I get asked what 'race' I put down on forms. People are strange.

I can't disagree with this. I used to think Brazilians were all incredibly hot and toned, male or female. I imagined loads of Adriana Limas and Giselle Bundchens walking around the place. Then I taught English in a school which was 90% Brazilian. They really weren't that hot. The hot ones were really amazing looking, but the majority were below average. People kept saying it must be great to work with Brazilian hotties all day, but honestly, most of them were mingers.

In the words of Italian leader Silvio Berlusconi: Barack Obama is 'young, handsome and even tanned."

Ha ha..funniest quote ive read so far

That kind of thinking really pisses me off. I'm in an "inter-racial relationship" - (not that that thought ever occurs to me and I hate that term) and what's the problem? My OH is South African and 15 years ago, us being together was against the law in South Africa. That JPs thinking is not far from that.

I found in Ireland that people were quite tolerant of "interracial relationships". This old drunk lady sat next to me OH on a plane once and kept telling him what beautiful babies we'd have and stroking his arm. Twas hilarious!

Klingon Hamlet

I'd love for one of those racist hypocritical bible-belt wasters to explain exactly where in the bible Jesus said, "Thou shalt not marry someone of lighter or darker skin." Seriously, I just cannot fathom discriminating against people like that, it's barbaric.
