The man is a racist asshole. I don't give a damn how many black couples he married. To him, it is part of the job. Now, a black man and a white woman wants to marry and now he's got the nerve to yell that same racist bullshit that we have been hearing for years. Just because you marry someone in your home doesn't mean that you are not a bigot. It is all part of the job. It is 2009 and racism still exist rather we deny it or not. I could careless if they are interracial. They are happy. Deuces.

lol my husband is black (African) and I am white. Honestly, I'm glad this man spoke his opinion because if it was me, I would prefer NOT to be married by a racist. Don't want to give my money and time to someone like this. The interracial couple lucked out not having to give theirs to him

@Ibringthetruth1 to the United States has gotten a good education and are working and feeding themselves and their families WITHOUT the assistance of the Government

@Ibringthetruth1 lol You're an idiot and need to be enlightened! Ever been to Africa? My husband is from Kenya and they are very intelligent, some lack the education because of the fact that Africa is made up of third world countries. My husbands father is a doctor, my husband is an LPN studying to be an RN and the rest of his family consists of foreign diplomats, engineers, doctors, accountants and etc...NOBODY I know in his family is starving...and every African that I know that's come

To whoever disagrees with my comment, I could careless. It has been over a year. What I said was how I felt. Now it is 2011, almost 2 years since this idiot graced the front pages of the news and I done moved on. It is not my fault that racism still exist. It's people like him. I have two cousins who are biracial and my uncle was MARRIED to their mother at a time when it was "not right". If there were anyone who hated my cuz, it was idiots like this and blacks that hate. GET OVER IT AND!!!!!!!

Sounds funny coming from an offspring gone wrong. If you're trying to protect ppl from bearing bad offspring then you shoulndt inbreed like this fuck did. Theres plenty of rascist or ignorant ppl who always try to justify their close mindedness by being "concerned" about offpspring.  Theres plenty of fuckedup ppl from every race, nationality and creed, go figure

@mrsdulaney236 Has nothing to do with racism and everything to do with wanting to protect the potential child they will bear. Get over it.

@fucknignogs SMH I guess that's why Homosapien sapien is still around and Homoneanderthalus went extinct?

[stevennewnan]

@fucknignogs You're just a racist bigot with little scientific fact to back you up. If you did you'd know only subsaharan blacks are 100% human(homosapien sapien) the rest of us are only 96-99% with 1-4% non homo sapien DNA.
