Before you judge, read the article. The guy is really doing these people a favor! Its their kids. Something has got to be done about their kids!

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. "I have piles and piles of black friends. They come to my home, I marry them, they use my bathroom. I treat them just like everyone else."

If he did an interracial marriage for one couple, he must do the same for all, he said.
"I try to treat everyone equally," he said.

What a moron. He's legally required to marry everyone that comes through his door (except the gays, ACLU lady in the article).

Maybe he needs a new job.

i think this is a good thing.

where does this slippery slope end? What if someone wants to marry an animal? or a plant?

Irony alert!

"Bardwell, who claims most interracial marriages do not last long, came to the conclusion that offspring from those relationships are discriminated against."

He's just trying to prevent that discrimination in the future! If these kids are never born, they will never face discrimination.

I never thought of organizing my black friends into piles. I'll bring this up next time we're together. I may even let them use my bathroom. This guy is moving us forward in better race relations.

Sure, but how many of them would you marry when they show up at your house?

They come to my home, I marry them, they use my bathroom.

Probably none of them, because it bugs me that as soon as the nuptials are over, they rush into my bathroom to, uh, seal the deal. Gross!
