Was just surfing on this boring day so far and came across this.

NEW ORLEANS – A white 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.

I'll be back down in Louisiana in 3 weeks to go back to work. The level of racism is in La is something I have yet to see anywhere else...

 

Now as far as the article. The guy never said they couldnt get mrried. He just wasnt going to be the one doing it. I really dont see anything wrong with him denying them...

Well that should be an interesting case. I see this playing out all over the media if the "big boys" get ahold of it. As an aside, I spent 3 months in Hammond, LA after Hurricane Katrina and the level of racisim down there is interesting.
