A white 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
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.
"There is a problem with both groups accepting a child from such a marriage," Bardwell said. "I think those children suffer and I won't help put them through it."

I guess nobody has informed this idiot that we just elected a President who is the offspring of an interracial marriage. Seems to me at least 50% of people were "willing to accept a child from such a marriage".
This happened in Hammond, LA, a town about 20 minutes from here where I used to live.
This is the same place whose school board openly defies a federal court order to not open school board meetings with "prayers to jesus".
I can't wait to get out of this hellhole.
