Interracial couple denied marriage licence...in 2009

But this doesn't surprise me all that much, not because I'm from the South but because my former preacher (before I gained sense and became agnostic) refused to marry my aunt and uncle because they are an interracial couple. He didn't have the balls to say it though, he just didn't show up for their wedding and they had to rush and find a preacher that would marry them.

Way to go jackass.

You know, I used to scoff at the idea of people being able to gain the ability to marry people from an online site but that option is seeming more and more appealing as tales like this become more common.

Obviously, that doesn't apply here. But ugh, people are stupid.

Human nature. There's always going to be something.

"I'm not a racist. I just don't believe in mixing the races that way," Bardwell told the Associated Press on Thursday.

Which way should races be mixed then? Skin grafts? A blender? Fucking idiot.

"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."

What he doesn't say is how many bathrooms his house has got. Two? [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

He needs to resign and never should have a JP in the first place. He could not have, in good faith, sworn to uphold the Constitution. In my opinion, what's even scarier is that interracial marriage has only been a right for 40 years.

And the arguments used against it are the same arguments being used against gay marriage now.

...and on the 8th day, he rested.

Though I'm not sure why this womyn wants to marry this... man, I don't agree with this priest. He needs his penis to get chopped off and feed it to the dogs.

You know you've been steeped in GAFF/HoBFF/WGW for far too long when your first thoughts upon reading this article are, "Maybe he's just trolling."

Seriously though, his arguments are so hollow and laughable it's almost like he's doing it on purpose.

How much closer to "Those people" can you get?

Wow, I've heard closet-homophobes use this argument all the time. "I don't beleive in gay marriage, but I'm not a homophobe! I have lots of gay friends." It's probably the most hollow argument of the lot.

Quote :

"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."

Even if "think of teh babiez" was a valid point, who's to say they even want to have kids, you dick? Second of all, it's not your place to decide whether or not they should have kids. That's for the couple to work out, you have nothing to do with it. They don't need your approval to have kids Mr. Bardwell, you don't need to get married to have kids.

Quote :

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.

Bardwell estimates that he has refused to marry about four couples during his career, all in the past 2 1/2 years.

And no one's came forward until now?

Quote :

Humphrey said she called Bardwell on Oct. 6 to inquire about getting a marriage license signed. She says Bardwell's wife told her that Bardwell will not sign marriage licenses for interracial couples. Bardwell suggested the couple go to another justice of the peace in the parish who agreed to marry them.

I am strongly opposed to this, which is why I'm telling you exactly how to defeat my opposition.

Quote :

"I've been a justice of the peace for 34 years and I don't think I've mistreated anybody," Bardwell said. "I've made some mistakes, but you have too.

I mean, haven't you heard the old saying, "To make a delicious omlet of justice, you gotta break a few interracial eggs"?

Seriously, as a member of an interracial couple, as well as a decent human being, [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

People who say that don't have lots of black or gay friends; at most they have a few black or gay acquaintences who smile politely at them and have refrained from punching them in the neck.

Or it means his family's always employed black maids.

I'm curious as to how letting black people use your bathroom would qualify you as a secular saint. Isn't it common courtesy to let anyone who's visiting you that you know use the restroom? Or am I missing something?

Someone find a picture of this guy, because I need to see if this man really looks as smug as I'm imagining him.

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.

Has this dope even noticed who is President right now? I mean, has he?

Survey says...NO!

I would like to register my distaste for the thought of a member of the negroid race mingling with one of our own. The purity of the races must be preserved!

I don't think this one is trying to hide it. Check out his other posts.

Massive influx of trolls lately, or is it just me?

I'm leaning towards a one-or-several-of-our-regulars-is/are-sockpuppeting theory, but it certainly does seem that way.

They're pretty amusing this time around, though.

I would never condescend to have a sexual interlude with a member of a lower class. As I am white, you must be a negro, and a negro could never be a member of the British upper classes. The quality of their muttonchops is far too inferior.

Yeah, probably regulars. I just meant influx of troll accounts in general, not necessarily new members.

... though our ED page was just updated...

Then again, I think 4chan trolls would be more malignant than these guys who just seem to be in it for the lulz rather than actually fucking with us. 4chan trolls would probably be posting guro and stuff.

If I tried really really hard and posted pictures of my muttonchop-growing progress, would you at least consider it?

I do not fraternize with servants. In any case, a woman's crotch is a hole from which ghosts escape when she is fornicating with a man with whom she is not married and when she does not have the express intention of bearing children as a result of the intercourse. In our case, having children would be almost as evil as the ghosts you would let loose on the world.

Would the ghosts get bored and troll WGW too?
