Good Riddance To Judge Who Refused To Marry Interacial Couple

Full story: www.alligator.org

Last month, an interracial couple seeking a marriage license was turned away by a Louisiana justice of the peace on the grounds that their marriage was "mixed." The refusal was met with an eruption of criticism from civil rights groups and public officials, including Louisiana's governor, Bobby Jindal. Finally bowing to mounting pressure, the justice in question, Keith Bardwell, resigned Tuesday, according to an Associated Press article. We say good riddance. When asked about the incident, Bardwell, a white man, admitted that he has a habit of turning away interracial couples because the children of these couples will suffer in life. It's 2009. We have an interracial president. We are shocked that people like this justice still exist, let alone that they are allowed to hold public office. But apparently Bardwell is not a relic of bad times passed. Rather, he is an example of the work America has left to do. So, it is without any sense of irony that the at the Alligator Editorial Board congratulate Republican Gov. Jindal - gasp - for his outspoken criticism of this man and his ignorant bigotry. Jindal, an ethnic Indian born and raised in the southern state of Louisiana, likely faced some of the same bigotry that he publicly denounced in the weeks since this issue hit the headlines. It would have been easy to stay out of the public discourse, or at the very least, make a few passing remarks about the issue. But Gov. Jindal kept the pressure on, with public statements that undoubtedly contributed to Bardwell's resignation.

nobody is as racist as blacks which they prove over and over again by the way they terrorize any race that does not sleep with them or marry them. the couple could easily have gone to another preacher to get married but instead they chose make it a public lynching. black racism at its best.

Child, please, and black people are just to give into white racism? We've been do that for centuries. He wasn't a preacher; he was a Justice of the Peace, dummy. You don't even know WTF you're talking about.

Just like any business, he has the right to refuse anyone.

Is he allowed to refuse based on race? If why did it become a big issue, if he's legally allowed to refuse to marry an interacial couple? And if he is why did he quit? And why has this story just come out at this time, especially if he's been doing this for years.

It's not legal for a man to marry his horse, I don't care what your boyfriend Oh_Really tells you. He's not legally married to Seabiscuit; he's lying to you, Jimmy, you big idiot. You need to stop hanging around this loser, you brainless idiot.
