Lousiana JP refuses to issue marriage license to interracial couples. Says he's not a rascist, just concerned about the children that would result. So what does it take to be a rascist these days? See LINK:

I've heard this story on the radio the last couple of days. Don't you just love racists who come up with kinds of excuses to prove they are NOT racist? Sorry...this dude is a racist.

Well great, another question that I am going to get DR'ed for answering but here goes. I heard the story and do I think he is racist, yeah I do.BUT, he has a point on the children thing as well. In a lot of parts of the country <and no, it's not just in the southern states> Bi-racial children face even more discrimination and torment than the african american children do.

He's a racist, definitely. He's also probably a KKK member AND a Republican AND a "born-again Christian." (I'd bet money on all of those things.) I hope I run into him, one of these days. While driving at 80 MPH. I sure hope HE doesn't have any kids or grandkids, and if he does, I hope NONE of them live much longer. I think I'll mail him a "Go F**k yourself with a high-speed chainsaw!" letter. +5

Less than this. Consider the Supreme Court decision that made what he did illegal, as of 42 years ago. Loving v. Virginia found that Virginia's anti-miscegenation statute was unconstitutional. It had been upheld by the Virginia State Supreme Court based on the state's interest in preventing race-mixing. . However, in looking at how the statute was enforced, the Supreme Court noted that it was only enforced when one person in a couple was white. Blacks and Asians could marry; Asians and Native Americans could marry; Blacks and Native Americans could marry. . Black people, Asian people, and Native Americans could marry anyone they wanted -- unless that person was white. White people were only allowed to marry other white people. . Racial purity, in other words, actually only applied to white people. A violation of the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. . Here's the question for this Justice of the Peace. Has he denied marriage licenses to all inter-racial couples, or just the ones where one of the partners is white?

Does he know that the couple can still have children without a marriage license from him?
-
Well, on current form, the children that result could become President. He is a racist. Even if there are problems, that is for the parents to deal with, not him.
-
How come he is still a JP? Can't imagine that happening anywhere else in the civilized world.
-
He's not a racist. He's a racist idiot. Oh, wait. That's the same thing.
-
Maybe he should visit any city in the developed world where there are thousands of mixed race families that didn't need some backwater racist twat with a rubber stamp to play God.

Two men marry in New England state where it's legal. They move to Texas, decide to divorce. Under Texas law they are not married, thus cannot divorce. To divorce in state of marriage, they would have to move back in residence for one year to once again be residents, then allowed to divorce. So Texas, the state against same-sex marriage, forbid two men who are married to divorce. Is this applicable to issue at hand?
