I thought this was the land of the free. I thought people were allowed to chase their dreams, raise families and be happy. I guess I was wrong.
This latest story of bigotry got me really pissed off.
Two people were in love and wanted to get married. The problem? They were of different ethnicities (How dare they!) A Louisiana Justice of the Peace refused to issue them a marriage license.
Keith Bardwell told the AP that , in his experience, most interracial marriages do not last long. "I'm not a racist. I just don't believe in mixing the races that way." Yeah Keith, you’re quite the humanitarian.
He claimed to be looking out for the couple’s potential children; that it would not be fair for them to grow up “mixed.”
Keith Bardwell needs to go….and he also needs to move into the 21st century. He should lose his job at the very least. I have several friends from “mixed” marriages….and our current President is also an offspring from different parents.
There’s no room for Bardwell in this America. He can have his views, but he needs to do his job or lose it. He should be ashamed of himself.

No, Rose you are wrong. It's none of your business or anyone else's who marries who. As long as they are two consenting adults, they should be able to marry and have children in a free society. It's sad that people think their own personal views should be forced on others. And President Obama never said he hates his white blood. He was raised by his white grandmother. That is a really bigoted, stupid statement. Posted by: Rose Location: Sparks Wrong; he should not lose his job! Obama himself says he hates his "white blood." Many mulattos have extremely deep pain as a result of being a black/white mix. So you need to get off your high horse and get a reality check. There are plenty of blacks to marry blacks and Caucasians to marry Caucasians, so no need to subject children to such a horrible thing in order to satisfy your ego and PC sensibilities. And if you don't believe me then just ask the man from Kenya! |
