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." --

What a contemptible piece of shit. I don't have the words to describe how much I want this guys to get his ass kicked. really? He is not a bad guy. This story has been blown way out of proportion. Who cares if he refuses to marry someone? They should just go get married by someone else. If he believes the kids are affected, then fine. There are way worse things going on in Louisiana politics than some small town justice of the peace refusing to marry a couple. It doesn't make him racist.

Jeremiah, while I agree with the sentement of what you are saying, The Judge should have had enough sense to anticipate that the peopleconcerned would prolly make an issue out of it and exercised a bit of sensability in his comments.
I can't say it makes him look like someone capable of discerning legal matters where a measure of common sense is required. --

Who cares if he refuses to marry someone?
It is his job to marry people. People need to get over this "my beliefs don't allow me to do this part of my job" bullshit. You don't want to sell BC pills? Don't be a fucking pharmacist. Don't want to marry interracial couples? Don't be a JotP.
It doesn't make him racist.
Actually it sounds almost exactly like the definition of racist. Its the old "I don't want X to have this right, but I don't hate X, I have a lot of X friends." Its also the "We can't let them have our women" mentality.
He assumes that marriages have to procreate, which isn't true. He assumes that the children won't be accepted, which he can't know to be true. He says that interracial marriages don't last long, but has he looked at the US divorce rate?
He has no reason to believe that their possible children will be any worse off than any black couples or white couples children.

Add another one to the racist column.
That's kinda ridiculous that people are nonchalant about it. Of course they can go to someone else to get married, but is that really the point? -- '99 T/A Pewter A4 - SLP Lid, SLP LM, Pacesetter LT's, ORY, Trans-go HD2, !emissions, Tuned by Frost, Custom Floormats! 12.98@108.35

I still don't believe it makes him racist. What else would someone do to defend themselves when called a racist? If someone called me racist, I'd be quick to point out that I have friends, etc.
Dont get me wrong, I do think its a very stupid reason to not marry someone, but in his mind he thinks he is doing the right thing and he can not marry who ever he wants to. The gov't can't deny you getting married, but as an individual he can pass on any case in front of him. He isn't saying they can't get married, just that he won't do it. -- 2005 CTS-V LS6 M6 13.627@105.14 stock and hot/humid

Jeremiah- Racist is just the best way I feel to describe his actions. He may not hate black people, but he obviously doesn't believe in equality. This falls right in the same category as gay marriage in my opinion. Other peoples opinions should not affect a couples right to devote their lives to each other.
You can't tell me that if you were trying to marry the love of your life and someone told you no, you wouldn't be pissed. --

P.S.- Divorce rates are around 48% in 2008, I am pretty sure those aren't just interracial couples getting divorced. So why doesn't he just stop marrying half of the couples that come to him? The children need his help. --

Re-read the article...nobody said anything about anyone not being able to get married. Nobody is is losing their rights or being told they can't. He simply sends them to someone who will do it.

Ergo.. he's a racist. While it's not illegal for them to get married, or for him to refuse to marry them, his articulated belief that it is fundamentally wrong for races to co-mingle makes him the quintessential bigot. He's not basing his refusal on anything BUT race, in fact. -- 95 Formula 1 of 7,448

I agree jumper. If your decision about a situation or your opinion of a person is based SOLELY on their race, nationality, or gender, you are discriminating against them.
That's illegal.
Supposedly.
In theory.
What he did is in no way illegal, you're right Jeremiah, but that does not mean he's not a racist. I'm never one to jump to the racist conclusion or throw the race card out, especially since I'm white, but that is by and large racism. It's little things like that that really set us back as a society. If every town has just one person that does something silly like that, than we'll never be done with in-equality, racism, and discrimination. -- '99 T/A Pewter A4 - SLP Lid, SLP LM, Pacesetter LT's, ORY, Trans-go HD2, !emissions, Tuned by Frost, Custom Floormats! 12.98@108.35

So if my sister(Korean) was wanting to marry her boy friend (white) would he approve?
Honestly he sounds like a in the closest racist to me. I have dealt with this kind of crap before and last time i looked the civil war is over..and its not the 1800s anymore. So i find this to be very stupid.
Oh and crunks a cute little pharmacist in Chicago. --

While it's not illegal for them to get married, or for him to refuse to marry them
Actually Loving v. Virginia made it unconstitutional to deny a couple a marriage license to interracial couples.
nobody said anything about anyone not being able to get married. Nobody is is losing their rights or being told they can't.
They went to the man, whose job it is to issue a marriage license, and he told them that he would not issue it to them because they are interracial. That is a violation of their rights and it is unconstitutional. He was in the wrong, and he completely abdicated the responsibilities of his position based on an unsupported personal bias. He should lose the job he is too inept to handle. Its not like what he did hasn't been unconstitutional for 42 years or anything
What else would someone do to defend themselves when called a racist? If someone called me racist, I'd be quick to point out that I have friends, etc.
Just because someone has a black friend doesn't mean that they aren't racist. For instance, say I like Sarav, but maybe I don't like other Indian people, or I just don't trust any Indian person I don't know. I don't like their caste system and I hate talking to them for Dell tech support. But Sarav is an ok guy. But that doesn't mean I want him mixing with my people. Haggis and curry? Ick! That's still racist, even though I have an Indian friend (although why he would want to befriend me when I hold such views of his people for no reason is beyond me, and I may have just made Sarav up to make myself not seem racist). Just having a certain type of friend does not give you a carte blanche when it comes to dealing with that friend's race.
The way to prove that you aren't racist is to not do and say racist things. I mean for fuck's sake, he said " I just don't believe in mixing the races that way," which is quintessential racism. Aside from that, the only way he could have been more racist would have been to call her a "n-lover," grabbed his torch, and formed a lynch mob.
That's kinda ridiculous that people are nonchalant about it.
As someone who has been in an interracial relationship (I hate this term BTW, it was the same as any other relationship) before, you would be surprised how many people are really vocal about keeping a segregation at some level. --
