La. Magistrate: Can’t be having deem darkies near our white wome
Louisiana magistrate denies marriage license to interracial couple
A justice of the peace in northern Louisiana has refused to grant a marriage license to an interracial couple because he believes it would harm any children born of that relationship.
“I’m not a racist,” Keith Bardwell, justice of the peace in the state’s Tangihapoa Parish, told the Hammond, Louisiana, Daily Star. “I do ceremonies for black couples right here in my house. My main concern is for the children.”
Evidently, Bardwell has long had a policy of not marrying interracial couples, and admitted that Louisiana’s attorney general had warned him years ago that he could “get into trouble” because of it.
“I told him if I do, I’ll resign,” Bardwell told the Daily Star. “I have rights too. I’m not obligated to do that just because I’m a justice of the peace.”</em>
Uh, yeah you are, moron. It’s called “Loving v. Virginia”. Its in all the books. Look it up.
What’s the criteria for being a justice of the peace in Louisiana…a pulse?
