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.

He is definitely not a racist!

herya · 16-10-2009 02:10PM

They'll sue his sorry ass

ejmaztec · 16-10-2009 02:10PM

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

Jesus Wept · 16-10-2009 02:12PM

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

You may now use the bathroom...

AnonoBoy · 16-10-2009 02:34PM

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"?

...mainly Chinese people and people from Craggy island.

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

Euro_Kraut · 16-10-2009 02:46PM

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 · 16-10-2009 03:06PM

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.

pickarooney · 16-10-2009 03:50PM

The chick was from outta state, trying to come in to Lwiza-ayna and take our menfolk. You kin git aaaaaayot!

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 · 16-10-2009 05:22PM

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:
