"I'm not a racist. I just don't believe in mixing the races that way."
Keith Bardwell, a Louisiana Justice of the Peace who sounds like a Rip Van Winkle character who slept through the '60s,'70s, '80s . . . (you get the picture). He says he's concerned for the children interracial couples would have, and that in Tangipahoa Parish where he lives, interracial marriages don't last long. Last I heard, the chances of any marriage in the US lasting is about 50/50 and that people of opposite sexes, anyway, are free to marry who they choose.

This is just ridiculous! He says he's not a racist but he's such a liar.
marriages these days don't last, regardless of the races of people in them
Just because society accepts something as ok, doesn't mean everyone has to conform what they do and say to what society thinks is ok. People are entitled to their own beliefs. His reasoning may be dubious, but would anyone call him less of a "racist" if he had provided no reasoning at all? Doubtful.
This is just ridiculous! He says he's not a racist but he's such a liar. If you discriminate anyone, or any couple for that matter, because of their skin color and race, you're a racist. There's no if's, and's or but's about it.
