What century does this guy live in?

[Lady's Human]

In some parts of the country, he'd be a progressive.

[Cataholic]

Wait! He can't be a racist, he has black friends!!

[caseysmom]

Piles and piles of them....who calls people piles????

[aTailOf2Kitties]

aren't Creole people a mix of races and all over south Louisiana?

[Asiel]

Sounds pretty racist to me. Are Creoles much the same as what we know as Cajun?

[Lady's Human]

Cajuns are the French Canadians who settled in Louisiana......

Creole refers to the hodge podge of races who intermixed with the French settlers around New Orleans.

The terms, while interchangeable to someone not from the area, are quite different.

Let him spend a week up in Boston, and he'll see plenty of mixed race children in happy homes. I can introduce him to many - in fact, there's a certain Army Colonel that I could send down to pay him a visit - his parents were married up North here, his mom is from Maine, and his Dad is from Missouri, and they met while in college in Boston. They married, and settled here, and yet when his Dad was in the Army and they wanted to transfer him to Georgia, he had some trouble because it was still illegal then for mixed race couples to exist down there, despite the fact they had been married for years up here.

Anyway, they are still happily married after 40+ years, and their son is career Army.

Eugenics is a progressive idea. Always has been, always will be. Ruth Bader Ginsberg recently displayed as much. They can't say it in mixed company anymore, but its always been there...

Not that the usual suspects here will comment... They are going to talk about us "defending" this guy.


Bring it.

Piles and piles of them....who calls people piles????

of course...

I mean you CAN'T be racist if you have black FRIENDS. come ON.

I HATE when people say that lol. I don't hate "insert X group here" I have friends that are "X". but it's always the go to explanation or excuse I guess

LOL caseysmom... the only time I've ever heard piles in reference to people is in sports when there is a "pile up" does that count?

I've also heard the word "piles" used instead of hemorrhoids.

The article itself makes me wonder why this guy is even allowed to give out marriage licenses. Why is it even significant that "he lets black people use his bathroom" ? Well aren't you just a saint, what a jerk. Interracial marriages don't last long, I guess he hasn't looked at divorce rates which include everyone in awhile, eh? I seriously think he pulled that one out of his ass. He says all this stupid stuff with no proof, facts, or statistics..:P Seriously?

The part that irks me the most is when he says black and white people don't care for children of interracial parents..okay that might be true. But the only way racism is going to be stopped will be if we have MORE interracial marriages, kids, and stop stereotyping groups of people by saying "white people won't accept mixed children" or vice versa.

[RICHARD]

But, we all laughed at Fred Gywnn in "My Cousin Vinnie".

Maybe he thought the couple was too young to marry!

Da youts!!!

ROTFLMAO! i thought the same thing!

People who defend themselves, having piles of ==== friends and let them use their bathrooms are the worse racists ever.

He should meet all my multi-racists friends. He'd flip out. Love is Love. It has no color.

I feel sorry for him.

[smokey the elder]

Hmm...Tiger Woods: mixed race; Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson: mixed race; Hines Ward; Barack Obama!

Sure, mixed race kids don't succeed. Right.
