Happy Nappy Head: Interracial Couple Denied Marriage License in Louisiana By Racist Justice of the Peace

    I don'r suggest them to move. I suggest them to get married courtesy of that town and JOP. Surely they have all heard of Loving V. Virginia..
    I'd sue them for denying me my civil liberties. This one is so outrageous that I can't believe it's true.

    If they are not an ornery couple I think they should move. I would love for them to fight, but they don't seem to have the ingredients based on her comment

    Of course she is white and he is black. What a surprise.
  • Seattle Slim · 2 months ago
    This is why I wonder if he has the same attitude with a white male and woman of color, be she Hispanic, Asian, Middle Eastern or Black
  • vdrome · 2 months ago
    I would imagine his attitude would be even worse in that case; white men marrying out usually takes financial and social resources out of the white community at a much higher rate.

    Wow! Really? WHAT?! Who THINKS that way?!
    I must really be in the dark. I see a couple and I figure they're in LOVE. I see a married couple and I figure they've made a COMMITMENT to EACH OTHER. I see parents both spending time with their children and I think they're PRETTY DAMNED LUCKY to have survived marriage this long, to be able to spend time together with their children. NEVER has it occurred to me that the union could be detrimental to the financial well being of some group based on race, color or creed. Is this way of thinking reserved for crazy white folks, or do some black people worry about losing the "financial and social resources" of "their" community?

    Honestly...I can't say I care much about this whole thing. Saw it on the news this morning and was wondering why it was news.
  • Seattle Slim · 2 months ago
    Why do you say that, Traci? We know racism happens every day and he's not alone. It's just crazy when confronted with it.

    I am simply amazed by what the judge did... Interracial marriage is not something that a judge decides upon:)) Lol... this is the world we live in... With such people in high position such as a judge, the society doesn't stand a chance in improving relations among "races". The judge should be dismissed from the job and never to allowed to work a judge again. If it would have been me in their position, I would have filed a lawsuit. Hey judge, read this article about marriage therapy. Maybe you learn something new.

    And therein lies the prob. There are plenty of guys like him right now. They just keep it to themselves

    People. Suck.

    (And for Justice Bardwell...yeah...I'm talkin' to you.) COME ON! What couple DOESN'T experience their challenges? And with folks like YOU around, Bardwell, what prayer do these families and their children to live stress-free (is that even possible?!) life? Do you really have to add to the stress with your prejudices?!

    Like I said: People. Suck.

    and people say that racism is dead in this country... puhlease...

    this guy is full of it, like really. how can you tell two grown adults that they can't get married?! what if the wife had been west indian and the husband had been african american; b/c while "they" might look alike, there are some cultural differences...
    or what if the husband were white and the wife was albino; would he allow them to get married then?

    slim, me sorprende que no apoyas la homosexualidad. tienes la apariencia de una mujer liberal y moderna. but to each his own...
