That’s what made, and still less frequently makes, interracial marriages problematic. I didn’t think I’d have to state the obvious, but so be it.
The military used to require pre-marital counseling and permission from one’s commander and perhaps even still do, particularly between citizens and non-citizens; this JP isn’t the only one who makes a relationship his business. I don’t agree with what this man did, but if he’s a man of conscience, I support his right to act upon his principles (and suffer reasonable consequences), especially as he did no harm to the couple. His constituents will take care of the situation.
It speaks volumes about you though, standing up for a racist acting "upon his principles".
Jeez, if he wants to "act upon his principles", he can do it on his own time. Send him back to his porch to yell at the colored folk.
Thankfully people like you are not in charge. FreeRepublic scares me sometimes. 99% of the time we're a bastion for freedom, and then every now and then people like you show up longing for Jim Crow.
