HAMMOND, La. (AP) - A 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.
Neither Bardwell nor the couple immediately returned phone calls from The Associated Press. But Bardwell told the Daily Star of Hammond that he was not a racist.
"I do ceremonies for black couples right here in my house," Bardwell said. "My main concern is for the children."

Hatred of Southrons is a religion unto itself with the leftist media.

It may or may not be true that interracial marriages don't last as long as others but that's not a reason,legally speaking,to deny a license.

Hatred of Southrons is a religion unto itself with the leftist media. Yea, but sometimes the story is handed to them on a silver platter like this one.

The media is trying to foment a race war. There’s no way this story is true. They report this now after all the race baiting over Rush and the NFL this week? Drive by media strikes again.

My feelings exactly. Someone’s a lil’ too stuck in the 60’s.
To: athelass
Theres no way this story is true. I actually do know several people with the same attitude as this JP. Ironically, they are all very liberal, elitist, Yankees.

Not when the daddy can go back to Kenya and mom can dump the kid on the grandparents.LOL...I wonder though, would that be a racist or sexist statement?
