Interracial couple can't get married in Louisiana

Justice of the peace for Tangipahoa Parish's 8th Ward, Keith Bardwell, may have some pressure to resign after he refused to marry an interracial couple in Louisiana.

Bardwell wouldn't issue a marriage license to Beth Humphrey, 30, and her boyfriend, Terence McKay, 32, both of Hammond, LA., according to CNN.com.

The elected official told Hammond's Daily Star newspaper that he was concerned for the children who might be born of the relationship and that, in his experience, most interracial marriages don't last.

"I'm not a racist," Bardwell told the newspaper. "I do ceremonies for black couples right here in my house. My main concern is for the children."

Humphrey told CNN that she called Bardwell on October 6 to ask about getting a marriage license, and was asked by his wife whether it would be an interracial marriage. Humphrey said she was told that Bardwell does not sign off on interracial marriages.

She said the couple -- who received their marriage license October 9 from another justice of the peace in the same parish -- has reached out to an attorney to determine their next step.

What do think? Is this racist?
