Well it’s about damned time! Finally, someone out there shows some common sense about mixed race relationships. Keith Bardwell, justice of the peace in Tangipahoa Parish, LA refused to issue a marriage license to a black man and white woman. His primary reason for doing so was because he believes offspring form these couples “suffer” in today’s society.
Now before you go all tree hugger and label Keith a racist, take a minute to learn his position on people of color in general. First of all, he states that he has “piles and piles of black friends”. Does that sound like something a racist would say? Do YOU have piles and piles of black friends? Didn’t think so. He also says that he allows black people in his home and allows them to use his bathroom. When is the last time you let a black man pee in your toilet? Granted, Keith will still not let the blacks use his pool and they have to drink from the garden hose in the back yard but, other than those things, it’s all good.
As far as his charge that mixed race kids are suffering, I will just have to take his word for it. I seriously doubt he would just lie about such a thing. However, this is not the only group of people suffering from these hybrid children. Have you stopped for even a moment to consider how confusing this is becoming to our racist population? There was a time when they could tell whether you were black or white from just peeking out of the trailer window 30 feet away. Now you almost have to get right up on people to figure out whether you are supposed to hate them or not.
See what I mean? How is an avowed racist supposed to hate Halle Barry when she has so many awesome white features? This may very well be leading to the significant decline in race hating groups in America. Can you imagine an America without racism? That’s one of our oldest traditions. You might as well kill all of the bald eagles and never serve apple pie again.
Here’s another problem. Do you remember when it was ok to be a proud, black man? Black men were virile and almost all of them could run the 100 meters in under 11 seconds. Plus, their penises were truly magnificent. (If you can’t remember this, rent Mandingo). Anyway, now that the white man’s limp, tiny penis blood is being mixed in, all of those good traits are going away. For Christ’s sake, Morgan Freeman has freckles! How far has the black man fallen?
So congrats to you Keith for trying to keep it real and keeping the “real” America alive. If God wanted black mixed with white he would have made Mexico. (He didn’t…Satan did). Now if you will excuse me, I need to go iron my confederate flag and work on the underpinning of my mobile home.

I’d like to take this time to commend you on your own battle TL, as an occasional black man. I can only imagine the uphill climb you occasionally have.
October 17, 2009 at 12:09 am |
Hahahaha!!!
(Sorry to butt in, TL, but that’s some fucking funny shit, as we say in the hood [midwest].)
October 20, 2009 at 10:39 am |
Thank you, Aces. It has been very difficult for me…occasionally.
CLT – I thought you were from Crenshaw. What kind of hood can you have in middle America?
October 16, 2009 at 5:50 pm |
Agreed! It’s so difficult now to tell if someone is a good “Red Blooded American”(because obviously only Americans have red blood) or a crazy Canadian. Finally someone stood up to try and stop this epidemic.
Damn this society and it’s interbreeding!!!!
October 20, 2009 at 10:41 am |
The Canadians have kind of a dull, faraway look in their eyes from being so passive. You can spot them a mile away. (Plus, they wear flannel and some sort of hat in the dead of summer).

At least we “mixed-race” offspring are beautiful. Well, at least according to this excerpt from the Christian Science Monitor regarding this topic. http://www.csmonitor.com/2009/1016/p02s16-ussc.html
“The idea that mixed-race children were biologically inferior to white or black kids was also widespread in the South, and often formed the basis of anti-miscegenation laws during Jim Crow years. (Researchers have found that not only is that not true, but that mixed-race offspring tend to be overall more physically attractive than their peers.)”
October 20, 2009 at 10:43 am |
Well, if that’s what the CSM says, I am on-board. Hard to argue when Halle Barry is on your side.
November 5, 2009 at 10:20 pm |
…and quite possibly ‘healthier’ Bart. I found this fascinating link on Richard Dawkins Twitter: http://tinyurl.com/ykm8zzd
Geneticist Aarathi Prasad sums up with: “if this really is the case, then taken together there is now good (scientific) evidence that the more genetically diverse among us are indeed more likely to be more attractive, have better physical health, and more robust mental health, too.”
I love it when science can nudge us to think in new ways.
November 6, 2009 at 3:59 pm |
Do you think the fact that she has a “mixed” child influences her decision making? Probably not.
October 16, 2009 at 8:19 pm |
And add in interfaith marriages while you’re at it. That must stop as well.
October 20, 2009 at 10:45 am |
Good point. The Scientologists are getting wildly out of control.
October 16, 2009 at 9:45 pm |
i picture keith bardwell as looking and sounding like mr. haney from green acres.
i’m sorry to hear that mr. bardwell has piles. they can be very, very painful, and maybe that’s what’s making him so ornery. perhaps he can ask one of his black friends to pick him up some prep H at the nearest walgreens.
October 20, 2009 at 10:46 am |
If he had a lick of sense, he would head over to Petticoat Junction and hook up with one of those gals. Hubba-hubba!
October 16, 2009 at 11:10 pm |
Wait a minute, didn’t Art claim that Satan made Berkeley?
October 20, 2009 at 10:47 am |
Art has accused Satan of all kinds of stuff. It’s called character assassination.
October 17, 2009 at 12:14 am |
Your mobile home has underpinning? Well, la-di-da, TL. I guess the rest of us don’t have it as good. Not like “Dr.” TL and his degree in meth distribution. And let’s not forget your hi-tek computer and your fancy-ass blog…
You do bring up a good point though: what the fuck is up with Mexico? Satan decide Berkeley wasn’t enough?
October 20, 2009 at 10:48 am |
Hey, just becuase I was willing to fight hard for a GED doesn’t mean you should hate me for it.
October 17, 2009 at 4:41 am |
Yeah those freckles are such a giveaway
October 20, 2009 at 10:49 am |
I bet he draws them on just to be different. He’s such a media whore.
October 17, 2009 at 6:03 am |
You’re right, what would America be without folks like Keith. Halle is fine though.
October 20, 2009 at 10:50 am |
America would be France without some good racism…boring.
I can’t believe Billy Bob got to make out with her. She must have been disgusted.
October 17, 2009 at 6:47 pm |
white milk + chocolate milk = chocolate milk. ALWAYS.
October 17, 2009 at 9:06 pm |
I read once in a scientific journal that race can ‘flip’ every 10,000 years given the right conditions. Three fourths of our (species) history was confined to Africa. We are all descended from Africa. Unless you are from another planet Art, that would include you.
October 20, 2009 at 10:51 am |
Black Barry + White Barry = White Barry. ALWAYS.
October 18, 2009 at 9:55 am |
No need to degrade me because I have different beliefs than you. Honestly. What happened to the liberal, new age, secular progressives wanting everyone to have an open mind? Oh yeah, everyone but Christians are allowed that. So foolish.
October 20, 2009 at 10:52 am |
I support your right to be batshit. In fact, I fully encourage it.
October 18, 2009 at 9:58 am |
BTW, I’m with the majority of people from another plantet that believe in a higher power, which puts you in the minority. (You probably already know that since you’re so silly well-educated)
October 20, 2009 at 10:55 am |
I believe in a higher power. Her name is Oprah.
October 18, 2009 at 9:58 am |
*planet
October 18, 2009 at 4:31 pm |
white milk + vokda + Kahlua = white russian (ALWAYS)
I just felt it was important to point that out.
October 20, 2009 at 10:55 am |
You Commie bastard.
October 20, 2009 at 6:16 pm |
Would you have preferred Black Russian?
October 20, 2009 at 6:23 pm |
Is there a Jewish Russian? If there is, I may start drinking again.
October 20, 2009 at 10:18 pm
I believe that’s vodka + Manischewitz.
It doesn’t mix well, if I know my world history.
October 18, 2009 at 11:29 pm |
First of all Morgan Freeman doesn’t have freckles they are moles..all over his face, my black grandfather had them, on another note my grandfather looked like Bill Cosby, but my mom who is black also has them to. On another note, i am biracial and i don’t really suffer at all. Of course i didn’t get the awesome halle berry genes, i got the you can tell she’s kinda mixed with something, but she still looks black, maybe Hispanic? maybe she’s just kinda light skinned with good curly hair? i dunno. i now have a god daughter who looks white, and her mom and blacker than me, she has dread locks, and here she is with this little girl who has curly red hair..i find it amazing..
i on the other hand like being mixed, i’m better than most black people, but not quite as good as white people…
October 20, 2009 at 11:34 am |
If you are better than the blacks but not as good as the whites, does that make you Mexican?
October 20, 2009 at 2:31 pm |
no Mexicans are worst than the blacks..because most of them are illegal and they now do the jobs that blacks won’t do. its white, mixed, black, mexican….gosh do i have to teach you everything???
October 21, 2009 at 11:39 am |
Thanks TLS. Would the gays be above or below the Mexicans? I know that midgets and Eskimos are at the very bottom of the list.
October 19, 2009 at 2:41 pm |
I understand his position on the issue but it is not his place to make that decision where he stops a couple from joining.
Although racism still exist, it only reflects how shallow our societies are.
October 20, 2009 at 11:35 am |
I do give the guy credit for following his convictions. He is a lunatic, but a committed lunatic.
October 19, 2009 at 4:09 pm |
I work in Berkeley, and I would have to agree that Satan created it.
Or at least the hippies that live there.
October 20, 2009 at 11:36 am |
I would not have guessed that Satan would be a fan of hippies. He strikes me as much more a fan of Wall Street types.
