I have some black friends and for all of them, knowing a few generations back their family was someone's property is hard to deal with. The thing is if all of us go back in our geneology far enough most of us probably had ancestors who were slaves of somebody. It's a nasty and sad story of history.

There is less of a difference between slaves and 90% of the population toiling in abject misery in factories and mines in the 1800s than most people like to think about.

There were very few people wandering about in the big frocks that now make up most of the TV dramas.

[standin]

That is true.
The fact is it was majorly "big business" (and small) that followed profit as a highest goal which abused their workers, be it slave or freemen.
And that goes the same today.

Hey, Standin. I was reading something that reminded me of your question "what does act [insert a racial/ethnic stereotype] mean? What I was reading made reference to an article in the Nov 2009 issue of Essence Magazine entitled "Dating Like A White Girl."

[GAR]

I admit self-confidence in my own ethnicity becomes conflicted everytime my beemer flies past a black dude doing 60mph on the 70-limit freeway driving a Cadillac wearing a doo-rag on his fucking head, blaring Tupac riffs in a wife-beater teeshirt while everybody else is flipping him off for choking off traffic doing at least 75mph.

If you are dating for color reason, you might be a racist.

I over heard this chick say to another "Once you go black you never go back"
A person blurted out. "That's racist!" lol... reminds me of some Internet pics from here and there...The girl that said "Once you go black, you never go back" Exclaimed back to the other person "I am not a racist!" the other person said "How is that not racists?" The chick that said it just kept flipping her head and saying "I am not a racist" At that point you're like, would you just explain what you mean by "Once you go black you never go back"!

What do you think it means, Chan? Does it mean that the person that choose an interracial marriage would be shunned? Are they to be held captive? do they get cooties? Does something happen where they abandoned all other races? That they have to decide at that point that no other race is a viable mating option?
It is right up there with "I am white, so always right."

What if the black guy was a mean a horrible dude? What does one's color have to do with never choosing another mate of another race?

Seemed an odd statement to me. Have you heard it before?

Or of third worlders toiling in abject poverty for 60 or 70 hours a week to produce cheap goods for the West...

What happened to your 90-something Mazda Protodouché? Do you fill your "Beamer" with used oil too, white trash "the Mexicans stole my jobz" loser?


Can't afford a two dollar bottle of motor oil, but you're pimpin' in style in an overrated German luxury sedan? You have a better chance of seeing Jesus, dirtball...

I don't know. But the white kids, or other assorted non-African Americans, who try to do it are usually most intolerant little racist douchebags there are.

[lesfunk]

Is this guy the only Justice of the peace in Louisiana? Can't they just go to an other one?
Instead they have to call a lawyer. Sounds like a bunch of assholes all the way around.

Oh please! I'd call a lawyer too. Who the fuck is this judge? He should be impeached...

[standin]

If he wanted to recuse himself, he should have not explained why.
A judge should be allowed to recuse himself with no explanation.

I respect the guy for doing sticking to his ethics (no matter how publically denounced) and doing what he considered to be the "right thing".

They should just get someone else to marry them and go on their way. Who cares?

[standin]

The judge is just getting older and wants to speak his mind, imagine the times through his career that he has not spoken up. Should he sanctioned for his verbose, yes he should. Should his cases be reviewed for questionable rulings, No. Mouthiness, maybe. I bet he has told off many a person in his courtrooms and crossed over the line into "Judge, that's really not your business"

I can almost hear him
" Mr. and Mrs. Sonso I have seen your family for 15 plus years, it is my oppinion....
~10 minutes later~
I can't really do anything about it. However,...
~17 minutes later~
Therefore in the best of the courts, here is your decree."

Sorry, I didn't know that you rightists supported keeping incompetent lawbreakers on the public dole no matter how much they such dick at their job.


...Oh wait, you voted for Bush...

Now go "destroy" a cock, closet case...

Thanks. mindless, dickless droning sheep who would have supported Hitler (no offense)...

First, you ignore the white supremacist judge that prevented the (poor) "nigger" from marrying fat white marketer. And then you find yourself guarding the murder shower exits at Auschwitz. It's a slippery slope my friend...

[lesfunk]

too bad your smiley isn't eating his booger. it's healthy and green

That's kind of a cheap shot cuntsidering the Far Left supports those who would destroy all Jews.

Don't forget the far right that almost did...

Actually, the far right's candidates, the BCE, are the ones who literally supported the ones who would destroy all Jews.

[Nickdfresh]

And if you like Nuremberg style "race laws." That's fine. But fucking please don't call that a "conviction."

[Nickdfresh]

BTW, my girlfriend is black. So, as much as I detest the idea of marriage, should I have to travel around the entire fucking country to find a judge that will approve of my civil liberties and our right of getting fucking married?

If you're claiming to be a "conservative" and actually believe that, you're another hypocritical racist piece of shit who has no idea of what principles he or she is actually supposed to fucking believe!

And yes, if a judge told me we couldn't get married because of some bullshit statement that is little more than a coded anti-miscegenation clause, yeah, I'd fucking sue!! You better believe it! If you're a public servant and you fuck with peoples' civil rights, you should be sued into fucking oblivion!!

That's one reason I despise those on the far right/ fundamentalist right or whatever we might call it.
I don't cuntsider them any better than the far left.

[lesfunk]

BTW you're sexy when you're angry.

[Terry]

"I'm not a racist. I just don't believe in mixing the races that way."

When someone says something like that as a rationalization for why they're not a racist, you really can't argue with them, mostly because it's clear that logic didn't play much of a role in that thought pattern.

It is useful living in the South in the aspect that many times one knows exactly where others stand regarding their feelings on race. Unlike in other areas of the country, where people have been conditioned to SAY the "right" things and that's as far as their racial tolerance extends.

Navin Johnson would be ashamed.

Where does it say the white guy was a judge? I thought he was a justice of the peace. My dad was a justice of the peace and he was not a judge nor had he ever been a judge.

The dude didn't say they couldn't get married, he said he didn't want to marry them. Big difference.

I'm not offended by your overreaction, it's just another day at the Roth Army. I highly doubt you think my next step is going to be shrugging my shoulders at the extermination of millions and saying that it was fine with me (though I just might! I did think that this guy not wanting to marry these people was okay, so being okay with millions of murders isn't much worse!)

In the end I just can't bring myself to care whether these people had to find another justice of the peace to issue a marriage license or not. Life is just so hard sometimes.

Great! Where's his resignation letter? If Billy Joe doesn't want to do his job, then: a.) quit b.) get fired c.) cause his employer to get sued because he's a retarded asshole in a position of responsibility

Good. Because my goal wasn't to offend you. It was to make a point...

You are correct. I doubt that was your next step. I was speaking more in terms of societal "baby steps."

There is no excuse to let anything like this incident stand...

That's fine. But you posted in this thread and read it, so you cared on some level. But where do we stop? Does a DMV clerk get to deny a person a renewal of their license because they happen to be of Vietnamese origin, and might be a bad driver?

I don't give a fuck if he cleaned toilets at the local mini-mart. If he refused to do his job based on someones' skin color(s), he should be fucking: a.) fired b.) resign c.) have his employer sued because they let an asshole have one of their keys

Is it really that difficult?

Louisiana Justice of the Peace Courts
Justice of the Peace Courts have limited civil and criminal jurisdiction that may vary by court.

Criminal cases generally handled by Justice of the Peace Courts include preliminary hearings for most criminal cases and litter violations, and may include other types of violations and non-felony criminal cases.

Justice of the Peace Courts share limited jurisdiction over some civil cases with District Courts, including some general civil cases within financial limits.

Justice of the Peace Courts do not have jurisdiction over certain types of cases, including probate matters, cases where the State or political subdivision is a defendant, cases where title to real estate is an issue, and other types of cases as defined by law.

[lesfunk]

I don't think one gets paid to be a justice of the peace. If one doesn't get paid to do it, It ain't his job. If it ain't his job, he don't have to marry nobody if he don't want to.
If he was really breaking the law by refusing those nice people he should certainly be punished . CERTAINLY should be punished.
I don't like defending a racist, but Leftists have to learn that THEY CAN'T JUST PUNISH ANYBODY THEY WANT TO JUST BECAUSE THEY DON'T LIKE WHAT THEY THINK.

Thanks for that. It's different in my state. In CT, JOPs are basically like a notary public type that can officiate civil ceremonies and stuff. Not a paid position or particularly important in any way

Dude, are you fucking kidding me? Really? He's in a position whether paid or not. If hates blacks, then quit. Let's find the statue where he can prevent consenting heterosexual couples who want to get married because of their skin color. He CAN'T!! That's a violation of their civil rights. End of fucking story!

That's like saying I'm a manager, and I believe that I shouldn't hire Jews. Or that I should be able to fire people because they're Asian or Native American. In which case, YOU CAN'T!! And you're an asshole who should quit if you have a moral prohibition against hiring people of races different from yours. And any company that keeps that manager is going to get sued...
