Has there ever, in the history of the world, been a sentence that started with “I’m not a racist but” that has failed to expose the speaker as a racist by the end…? :dubious:
Fuckin’ A!
Aaaand…I guess I could say that I’m not racist, but I do heartily believe in democide, so it’s me for the win! 
Classic.
I hope Bardwell follows his conscience each time he’s asked to marry a couple.
“No, I refuse to marry this couple because the groom’s family is a bunch of slack-jawed high school drop-outs. I’ve seen the children from these type of marriages, and I don’t want to subject them to the dead-end life they’d have growing up poor and stupid.”
“I couldn’t in good faith marry Ms. Smith because she’s screwed everyone from her high school gym teacher to…well, to me. And I want to save her future children from the humiliation of having their mom one day appear on a Jerry Springer “Who’s Your Daddy?” episode.”
Believe it or not, I have found a flaw in Justice Bardwell’s otherwise impeccable logic.
Though he may not realize it, it is possible for people to have children without being married!
So in addition to whatever “suffering” he expects these children to encounter, he’s forcing them to be bastards!!!
To be fair, being a total bastard doesn’t seem to have held the judge back any.
So far as I can tell, he’s a justice of the peace, not a judge.
Exactly; a real judge (OK, the vast majority of them, anyway) know damn well they couldn’t get away with the crap Bardwell spewed.
When all the white women are married, then the black women shall walk the aisle.
I think you meant to say that the same bad genes rarely occur in different groups, so in unions between persons of different racial or ethnic groups, the bad recessive genes of either party stay recessive in the children, if the kids wind up carrying those genes at all.
And btw, that’s one cute kid you have! (At least, I assume your link upthread was to a pic of one of your kids.) She’s gonna be breaking the guys’ hearts right and left when she gets into her teens.
I see this troglodyte moron turned the racist double play: ‘I’m not a racist but the races shouldn’t mix’ AND ‘some of my best friends are black’ in the very same breath.
Yep, that’s what I meant. A couple of words went missing on the way to my fingers from my brain. It happens sometimes.
She’s my only kid, and she is a complete mutt, racially speaking. She can claim ancestry from natives of 3 continents.
Oh, give me an ever-loving break. :rolleyes: This has nothing to do with politics. The guy is a pig, and I don’t care who he votes for.
That said, I think I am right in saying this one twit will not prevent this couple from getting married, so all he’s done is shone a big huge spotlight on his ridiculous beliefs.
Mighty, your tot is adorable!
Yes, but a mixed race person needing a bone marrow or stem cell transplant will likely have a very hard time finding a matching donor.
Now, that is.
Maybe after a century or two of further gene mixing, things will be better in this regard.
Mighty what races makes up your kid?
I can’t work it out.
Oh and btb, the quote of the justice is probably the best “I’m not a racist, but…” ever recorded.
He cut 'em down.
He just hasn’t gotten around to buryin’ 'em yet…
I apologize, SA - I was, in fact, out of line.
Some of my best friends know Jews.
My mom is a dark-skinned mulatto Dominican, my Dad is a white, blue-eyed Dominican with a set of Spanish grandparents. My husband is Danish, with no other ancestry that they can ascertain going back a hundred years or more.
So my kids have ancestors from Africa (black Africans and possibly “moors” via Spain), Europe (Spain and Denmark), and almost certainly a dash of Arawak Indian (genetics studies revealed that they were not so much exterminated as simply assimilated into the general population).
It just occured to me that marriage is not a constitutional right in the US.
