Inter Racial Couple Denied Marriage License in Louisiana

I would like the "Judge" to see all of the beautiful happy and successful children from interracial marriages. Is there going to be some problems for children of bi-racial marriages? Probably. My mother is from Syria and my father is from here and is German and English descent. I have never considered myself bi-racial but that did not stop other people from calling names or make comments. I would not trade my life or my parents for anything else in the world. I have a niece and two nephews that are from an "inter-racial marriage. They are the most adorable and absolutely best children any family could ever hope to evr have. This Judge says he is not racist. He is clearly ignorant.

why dont they just fire that shithead ? why is this gotta be the only news we get to see ? people is hungry ! why dont they show us the new g5 jets we bought. or crooked politicians with special interests? give this jerks job away to somebody who needs it.. end of story

By not believing in mixing the races that way and by denying the marriage license, is he not playing GOD.

I agree, he should not be allowed to make that choice. If two people fall in love, don't they have the right to consumate that love without some 'holier than thou' jerk denying them that right..?

Just another 'so called' 'pillar of society' trying to prove to his elitist buddies that he has the power to maintain the 'status quo...'

Letting his black friends use his bathroom, definitely proves that he's not racist... inelegant to say the least...

Now, had it been a white man and a black woman, that justice of peace would likely have granted the license.

"I have piles and piles of black friends."

I can guarantee he has no black friends.

Thats an odd one for this state.

racism is really an economic problem, and a distraction at the same time. Everyone is trying to figure out whos screwing who but in the end, everyone is being screwed by the same people. As long as poor white people in the south are bickering with poor black people they can never realize they're both poor people that should be working together.
So how does one weaken the proletariat? Perpetuate the existence of racism and its "struggle" to keep them fighting each other...

The first thing a racist in denial says is something like 'my best friend is black.'

I never really had an issue as a child being biracial. I hate when people say that, "what about the kids?" What about them? I'm fine, my siblings are fine.

"Piles and piles of black friends"? That doesn't strike anyone else as kind of a holocaust reference? I mean isn't that a bizarre thing to say, even for a racist.

In my opinion, this kind of bullsh!t reflects some of what is happening to gay couples in America, but that's just my opinion.

The ass shouldn't be in his possition! He should be let go

Are you fuckin kidding me...... aren't we all biracial in some way. People are taught this racist shit! End of story. By the way I'm white. (does it matter)

Privatize marriage, let the religions handle marriage, not bureaucrats and politicians!

There is no need for government to be in marriage, it is about money, power, and a way for them to show the fact that they own you

hate is an old idea ! that guy gets paid by us. it isnt any of his business who gets married.

And American's were bagging on us Ozzies for a television skit... now this is racism.

"I'm not a racist. I just don't believe in mixing the races that way,"

This quote should read, "I'm not racist, but, I am racist."

What is it with people who feel the need to say, "You know, I have many black friends who I joke and eat dinner with everyday blah blah blah," when they're questioned about their tolerance?

Sounds like this guy is being overly defensive. His overcompensation (i.e. I have piles and piles of black friends) makes it appear as though even he questions his openness.

Hell of a thing, eh, Jubal? It's not as if Loving v. Virginia is cryptic or open to interpretation or new, right? Amazing. The most disturbing part though is that he thinks (really believes) that he's compassionate and open-minded and not racist. I know homophobic folks like that, and sexist folks, and ageist folks, and xenophobic folks. We delude ourselves, methinks....

For many reasons, I don't think there IS a pure white in Louisiana.

Wasn't there a same post issued eariler today, and then the one from yesterday??

But...

Maybe that's the point. Racist assholes from Louisiana don't want any more Obama's around to make them face the reality that they are indeed racist.

Throw him off of the bench. We should no longer tolerate discrimination and racism in any form especially from those who are supposed to be protecting those rights.
