Man, I was having a such wonderful day until I read this:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091016/...rracial_rebuff

It really angers me that these types of issues still exist. It's like everytime things seem to be going well for our country's progress towards equality, some idiot takes us two steps back

NEW ORLEANS – Two civil and constitutional rights organizations called on a Louisiana justice of the peace to resign Friday after he refused to marry an interracial couple, saying any children the couple might have would suffer.

The leaders of the American Civil Liberties Union in Louisiana and the Center for Constitutional Rights and Justice in New York said Keith Bardwell, a white justice of the peace in Tangipahoa Parish in the southeastern part of the state, should quit immediately. Earlier this month, Bardwell refused to issue a marriage license to Beth Humphrey, who is white, and Terence McKay, who is black.

"Perhaps he's worried the kids will grow up and be president," said Bill Quigley, director of the Center for Constitutional Rights and Justice, referring to President Barack Obama, the son of a black father from Kenya and a white mother from Kansas.

Obama's deputy press secretary Bill Burton echoed those sentiments.

"I've found that actually the children of biracial couples can do pretty good," Burton told reporters aboard Air Force One as it flew to Texas.

Marjorie Esman of the ACLU said the group was calling on Bardwell to resign "before he infringes on the constitutional rights of another person."

Bardwell did not return calls left on his answering machine Friday. He has said he always asks if a couple is interracial and, if they are, refers them to another justice of the peace.

"No one's ever complained about it before," Bardwell said Thursday. "I do it to protect the children. The kids are innocent and I worry about their futures."

Humphrey and McKay were eventually married by another justice of the peace, but are now looking into legal action against Bardwell.

Humphrey said she called Bardwell on Oct. 6 to ask about a marriage license. She said Bardwell's wife told her that Bardwell would not sign marriage licenses for interracial couples.

Bardwell maintains he can recuse himself from marrying people. Quigley disagreed.

"A justice of the peace is legally obligated to serve the public, all of the public," Quigley said. "Racial discrimination has been a violation of Louisiana and U.S. law for decades. No public official has the right to pick and choose which laws they are going to follow."

The ACLU on Thursday asked the Louisiana Judiciary Commission to investigate Bardwell. The nine-member commission is charged with investigating judges and lawyers in Louisiana. A commission spokeswoman said investigations were confidential and would not comment.

If the commission recommends action to the Louisiana Supreme Court, the matter would become public.

Tangipahoa Parish President Gordon Burgess said Bardwell's views were not consistent with his or those of the local government. But as an elected official, Bardwell was not under the supervision of the parish government.

"However, I am certainly very disappointed that anyone representing the people of Tangipahoa Parish, particularly an elected official, would take such a divisive stand," Burgess said in an e-mail. "I would hope that Mr. Bardwell would consider offering his resignation if he is unable to serve all of the people of his district and our parish."

Bardwell, a Republican, has served as justice of peace for 34 years. He said he has run without opposition each time, but had decided earlier not to run again. His current term expires Dec. 31, 2014.

You don't have to look very hard for examples of racism coming from all colors of people.

But, I don't want to post them here.

Yeah, it definitely goes both ways. Not just with racism, but social equality in general. When will people understand that people are people and learn to live peacefully together. There's too much hate in the world and it seems like these tough times brings out the worst in people when in all actuality people should be willing to pull together and help eachother out.

I live on a dead end street so we pretty much all know each other.

My neighbor married a new guy who came from another neigborhood.

I'm always helping him fix things because he isn't real handy and he always returns the favor saying I can borrow his truck any time or call him for heavy lifting. I call in those favors on a regular basis.

It all seemed pretty normal to me, but he told me he was blown away with the people on this street because where he lived before it wasn't like that.

Also, there were some new renters on the street and we never had the sheriff on our street in the 15 years I've been here, but this new guy had them down our street all the time. Naturally none of us wanted anything to do with this guy. He ended up in jail and the woman who remained defaulted on rent so they are gone now.

Anyway, I guess my point is that "community" is a delicate thing and needs to nurtured, but not everybody can be helped either.

I spotted a ti in town today, black 97-98 with hubcaps, guy gave me a thumbs up we were driving in opposite directions though and it was a little dark so I don't think he was able to make out the 318ti.org sticker, plus his window was up and there was traffic behind me so I couldn't say anything to him

^ lol, that's a good one, that thread was full of fail

speaking of fail, I just canceled the insurance on the ti and put it on my Outback for winter, went to drive it home and noticed the pedal was a little soft, I figured, whatever, not a big deal. then the brake light comes on on the dash so I pull over and check the fluid, it's a little under half fill so I said, screw it, it's only two miles to my house and there are no redlights or anything and only one stop sign. as I got closer to my house I noticed the brakes weren't even pumping up anymore. by the time I got home the reservoir was completely empty, now I have to figure out a way to get the damn thing back to work so I can change the brake line that blew since the ti's not insured anymore
