The story can be summed up in one line from the article:
“Bardwell said he asks everyone who calls about marriage if they are a mixed race couple. If they are, he does not marry them, he said.”
Money, money, money quote from the not-racist Louisiana judge, Keith Bardwell:
“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.”
Anyone used to hearing people say that they aren’t racist recognize the tells in this defensive statement pretty quickly… The “I’m not a racist! Look, I even treat them like human beings!” argument.
