I could dig out my stool, climb on and talk about this interracial couple who were denied a marriage license in Louisiana.
But I’m not going to.
Because it says it all in the comments.
I just hope there’s going to be a follow up to this article. With the headline reading: JUDGE LOSES HIS JOB FOR BEING RACIST.

*Splutters* What?! SERIOUSLY?
“I’m not a racist. I just don’t believe in mixing the races that way,” Bardwell told the Associated Press on Thursday. “I have piles and piles of black friends. They come to my home, I marry them, they use my bathroom. I treat them just like everyone else.”
OMG. So many angry things I want to say right now, and so much hypocrisy I want to denounce…but I think you know it too. It’s so disgusting to think – know – this still goes on. You start to think we’re come so far…and yet there is still so much wrong in the world.

JAG – I know. I wanted to jump on my little soapbox so bad, but you know what? I couldn’t have said it any better than those people in the comments section of the article. And you’re right, it’s ignorant thinking like that that makes it difficult for the world at large to move forward.
Michelle says:
The fact that he says “they use my bathroom” is just…clearly, he has no idea how racist he actually is. It’s really sad. And infuriating.
