I’m Not a Racist!

I just don’t believe in race mixing. So says Keith Bardwell, Justice of the Peace  in Tangipahoa Parish in Louisiana. You can read about it here.

You really can’t make this stuff up. My question is, what does it take to actually be a racist these days? Bardwell says he not a racist. Neither is this guy. Even this guy claims he is a “racial realist” now. It seems as though you have to be the modern day equivalent of Ross Barnett to even be up for “I’m a racist” consideration. He may not even qualify anymore.

But back to JOTP  Bardwell. I think it’s safe to assume that he’s not familiar with Loving v. Virginia, a landmark 1966 Supreme Court decision that outlawed bans on interracial marriage.  So Bardwell flagrantly violated the Constitution, which could lead to a slew of legal repercussions for him.

At least he’s not a racist.
