“I’m not a racist. I just don’t believe in mixing races that way,” Bardwell told the Associated Press on Thursday. “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.”
I wonder what your mixed President would think about this, Mr. Bardwell.
This article made me uncomfortable, yet I wasn’t completely (like falling out of my chair) surprised. Interracial marriage wasn’t FULLY legalised in America until 1968 (almost 40 years ago). The miscegenation law (which was against interracial marriage) in America lasted longer than slavery and segregation. In America this law was effective from 1664 to 1968, that’s over 300 years. THREE CENTURIES!! That’s totally crazy in today’s times, yeah? Back then, interracial marriage was declared “unnatural”. WAIT! “Unnatural”…This sounds familiar *Cough* Gay Marriage *Cough*. Now, the miscegenation law is sort of a dirty topic, and some Americans are sort of embarrassed that the law lasted for so long. Just wait, in few years Gay marriage will be legalised everywhere, and most Americans will be embarrassed that they spent a really long time arguing over something that was once thought to be “Unnatural”. They’ll think the past was CRAZY. TOTALLY CRAY-CRAY!
