Earlier in November, a justice of the peace in Louisiana in the U.S. has resigned, after he refused to marry a mixed-race couple. Keith Bardwell came under strong criticism in the state, where race has long been a contentious issue. RTs Priya Shrider went to meet the couple struggling for their right to be together.

  • Why on earth would any self respecting European date out-side of their race? Who wants a brown mutt for a child.

  • This 'INJUSTICE OF THE PEACE' in Louisiana doesn't deserve to be either a Judge or a Minister and should NEVER, EVER preside over any marriages again! Love knows no skin color, race or culture and there's no reason whatsoever that interracial couples shouldn't get married...As far as biracial kids are concerned, they are just like any other kids and should be treated as such! I wish that mixed-race couple the very best of luck in their fight against racism and ignorance!

  • oh shame on me, my parents are two different races and love each other. that MUST mean i have no solid future! gosh, i didn't know that graduating two years early and going to college as a 16 year old was bad....

  • @emptypages1970 i hope the 2012 will reset it all back to zero

  • Same judge who dresses up in a white hood in his spare time - nothing to worry about, just like the rest of the dinosaurs this prehistoric slug will soon be extinct

  • WHITE EXTINCTION IN ACTION!
