Seriously, I know we have regions in the USA that are not keeping up with modern times (and that is really as nice as I can say this) But you have got to be kidding me.
AP- NEW ORLEANS – 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. Keith Bardwell, justice of the peace in Tangipahoa Parish, says it is his experience that most interracial marriages do not last long.
"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."
Bardwell said he asks everyone who calls about marriage if they are a mixed race couple. If they are, he does not marry them, he said.
Bardwell said he has discussed the topic with blacks and whites, along with witnessing some interracial marriages. He came to the conclusion that most of black society does not readily accept offspring of such relationships, and neither does white society, he said.
I wonder if he has noticed the President of the USA- you know, from an interracial couple? You know- the Harvard grad, big brained guy who is now leader of the free world.
First off, all couples these days have some challenges staying together. Second even divorce or challenge does NOT mean that you can stand in judgment of other couples or their kids or their communities for that matter.
Bardwell, On top of being a racist, is a moral moron and judgmental idiot.
