i am getting older. i am getting tired. i can't afford to be angry all of the time (in reality i'm not angry ALL of the time, but a lot of it. it's about shite like this though. other people's fear and ignorance)
the best part is they actually come right out and say THEY ARE NOT RACISTS
you can't see me but my jaw has dropped
Louisiana magistrate denies marriage license to interracial couple
A justice of the peace in northern Louisiana has refused to grant a marriage license to an interracial couple because he believes it would harm any children born of that relationship.
“I’m not a racist,” Keith Bardwell, justice of the peace in the state's Tangihapoa Parish, told the Hammond, Louisiana, Daily Star. “I do ceremonies for black couples right here in my house. My main concern is for the children.”
The Louisiana chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union is calling the justice's move "tragic and illegal.".......
and here's a kid (well adult actually) who BURNED A CROSS on someone's front lawn. his mommy says HE'S NOT RACIST either! (and the cross wasn't burned in alabama either. IT WAS DONE IN NY STATE)
School didn't crack down on racist bias before cross burned on front lawn, ma charges in suit
BY Alison Gendar, Matthew Lysiak and Carrie Melago
A Westchester mom is suing her son's school for not stopping racism that led to a cross being burned on their lawn - by a teen accused of threatening President Obama..
...........The brother, Christopher Hudak, 21, served six months behind bars for the cross burning, but was sent back to jail last week for allegedly making Internet threats against Obama before his recent trip to New York........
..........
At a hearing involving the Obama threats on Tuesday, Hudak's mom insisted her son - also named in the suit - is not a racist.
"He has more African-American friends than I can count," she said. "My son is a real good kid."..
