It's fucking embarrassing to live in Louisiana

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.

Well you can move here as long as you don't want to marry a white woman.

That line is classic, "I'm not a racist, I just don't believe in race mixing".

So glad people can not locate the other such related news threads and just add to them.

We all know most of the golden rules of GFY and the number 1 rule about news is:

Unless you are the one responsible for the news yourself and there is nobody else present to report about it, and you did not make any phone calls first - be assured there is already a 90% chance that there is a thread or 10 about it. So check page 1-3 first at very least.

I'm going to assume you started this thread to rag on Louisiana and not just that news article...sooo... ya fuck any cousins lately?

[DaddyHalbucks]

Louisiana is also a very corrupt state. About the only thing they have going for them right now is a great governor, Bobby Jindal.

Oh shit, leave it to you to go there too.

No need to reply, I will not respond. You are just to damn predictable.

i think it's kinda dumb that they're making a stink out of it.. it's not like they can't get married, that guy just doesn't want to do it.

doctors don't have to give abortions the last time i checked

2 different things...

[Worldnet]

Drove all across it today on I 10. Very pretty state.

[escorpio]

This is real racism, not just someone getting their feelings hurt by some senile old justice of the peace in rural Louisiana. Why isn't it getting the same amount of national news attention?

What are you, the fucking hall monitor?

You keep track of the threads on GFY and then give people shit about redundant ones? You should get out more. Idiot.

That guy is a fucking tool.

He issued an executive order stopping all state funding to ACORN.

Problem is, there is not now and never has been any Louisiana state funding to ACORN.

That's like saying "It's not like the n*gger can't eat the restaurant food, he just has to pick it up from the back and take it home"

If privately owned restaurants and stores aren't allowed to discriminate against people based on race, then a person who gets their paycheck from my tax dollars damn sure can't discriminate either.


FTR, comparing a doctor giving an abortion to a justice of the peace marrying an interracial couple is pretty fucking asinine.
You should check and see if your local community college or vocational school is offering a course like analogies 101, because you could really fucking use it.

Because one was an act committed by 3 random citizens, and the other was an act of discrimination by a government official.

Come on Lenny. Every place in the country or even the world has their idiots. A few morons here or there doesn't make the whole place a hell hole. At least they are going to be convicting Slick Eddie.

seriously, who cares. It's one idiot. Let them take away his ability to be a justice of the peace. The sad part is that you take the actions of one person, or school and because of that you say an entire region is a hell hole. Move if you don't like it, and if you do move don't unpack because you will get this same type of shit some where else. The shit might look a little different, smell a little different, even taste a little different but there is a little shit no matter where you live.

Nah man, you should get out more. I've lived in alot of places and visited alot of places and this is by far the worst.

This guy isn't an anomaly. THAT's the problem.

The Tangipahoa parish school board openly defies a federal court order to not open school board meetings with a prayer. Seriously, the ACLU sued them over this, and won, and the school board just ignores the court order and does the same thing as always....I guess they're above the law, or at least the laws they don't like, like the laws that say a black man can marry a white woman.

I had people dump trash on my front yard because I had an Obama for President sign in the yard.
I also had the sign stolen 3 times (and I seriously doubt they stole it because they wanted it for their yard)

Maybe it's not "just Louisiana" but the south in general, but Louisiana certainly leads the way with alot of this backwoods ass backwards good ole boy bullshit.

I would move if I could. When I first moved here I met a girl from here, and got her pregnant. She still lives here so I still live here, so I can be around my son.

Once he goes off to college, I'll be outta here faster than you can say whodat.

Fuck no, it was more of a damn joke. Perhaps pull the stick out of your ass. Just a commentary on GFY and news events.

Yes I agree I do need to get out more, I just can not. I however do not spend most of my day, let alone hours a day on this board. Unless it is real late, or my early morning run through where I go tab crazy. I am rarely on here. I do happen to have a strong memory though of even stupid shit I read.

Seriously though, it is just a commentary/joke about gfy and news. Fuck same thing happens with gfy/movies, gfy/tv shows, gfy/sporting events.

[Redrob]

Louisiana is interesting.....full of cousins, cajuns, crackers and cops....

hey, that's my family...

[pamon]

true. idiots rule the world.

I've been around. Everything you mentioned happens everywhere to some degree. I am sure you weren't the only person in the US getting his Obama sign ripped up. There are a lot more backwards ass places in the US... Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee and West Virgina have some really scary parts where it's not their cousin but their sister they are screwing. I can look past the few morons and love this place for it's culture, history, wildlife, food, music, sportsman outdoors, mardi gras, sports, etc etc etc..

or you can go live in middle of anywhere america with their boring ass town, which looks the same as any other town, blah blah. and they still have most of the same problems you would be bitching about.

[fatfoo]

Maybe in Louisiana these marriages don't work. Apparently the guy documented other such marriages there. I don't see why anyone would want to refuse an interracial marriage like that in US in modern times. People should be free to do interracial marriages if they want to do them.

Yeah, it's hard to refuse interracial marriages and still try to appear non-racist.

I know right, fucking weather around here is weird, apparently we don't have Spring or Fall, we just go from Summer to Winter.

You're in Milwaukee right?

So a racist government official hurting someones feelings is worse than three private citizens beating someone nearly to death because of their race? Not an opinion I share.

[LoveSandra]

it`s fucked up

That's not what I said, you have a comprehension problem.

A government official denying someone their civil rights is more newsworthy than someone getting beat up.

The racism is generally an overall southern problem, but the politicians believing they are above the law is much more prevalent in Louisiana than elsewhere.

That being said, my fat honky ass will be moving to the other side of the mason dixon line just as soon as my son goes off to college. I won't stay here 1 day longer than I have to.

lol racism isn't just a "southern" problem. Racism is every where and different types of racism, some areas its against the muslims, mexicans, or asians etc. It's just that the people up north are usually just more quiet about their feelings. I think it was Morgan Freeman who put it best, something like " at least in the south you know who doesn't like you".

[ethanol]

Maybe not in his neck of the woods and he appears to be part of the problem. His personal beliefs are getting in the way of performing his job properly. He's a fool if he thinks he's stopping any marriage from happening.

[$5 submissions]

The US Supreme Court struck down anti-interracial marriage laws back in the 1960s. Name of the case, ironically enough, is Loving vs. Virginia.

I dont know about the whole state but I like New Opleans. I almost got laid there one time.

Don't be an idiot, interracial marriages are legal and since the marriage is legal and recognized by the state it is his job to marry them. By refusing to marry an interracial couple he is violating the oath he took.

[GrouchyAdmin]

Marry a black chick - she'll put up with a ton of more shit than any white bitch.

that's sooo sad. i love mulatto people's skin - they tend to be the best looking

As someone who lives in new orleans, and lived in California, I must inform you there are more racists in California than the south. There are more hate groups per capita and more racist violence there per week than anywhere in the south.

California has 84 registered hate groups (and has way more members than a few southern states combined)
Louisiana only has 22

http://www.splcenter.org/intel/map/hate.jsp

Having lived in Cali I can assure you i saw more daily racism in the streets of LA than anywhere down south, especially in new orleans where blacks outn umber whites. I also experienced more anti-white racism there than anywhere else.

[stoner529]

kinda like when stewie on family guy said about lois. "its not that i want her dead, i just don't want her alive anymore"

[shimmy2]

im against all forms of marriage personally, gay/straight/IR/animal/alien and for the record the judge is probably correct about the couple but still let them find out on their own, theyve got the right to, and thats what the issue at hand is

[ethanol]

California has 84 registered hate groups (and has way more members than a few southern states combined)
Louisiana only has 22

louisiana has a pop. of under 5 million while california in itself has over 36 million, so if ca had more of a problem with hate groups per capita than louisiana, they would have to have over 7 times as many; they have less than four times the amount. closeted hate is not to be underestimated either. i wouldn't blanket the whole state of ca just because of the rough parts of LA with people who carry prison segregation & racist mentality... pretty liberal state with more tolerance for that stuff.

with so many people to come in contact with you in la, it's likely you will experience some bad things... i've been down south as well in areas like alabama and certain parts of lousiana and texas and i haven't personally experienced anything negatively there myself either.
