Marriage has nothing to do with color
Who wants to marry in the American state Louisiana, has to think twice before he decides. In Louisiana the judge had refused the marriage between a black man, Terence McKay and the white woman Beth Humphrey. He has the opinion that such marriages doesn’t have any success and the children only become the dupe. Despite lot of accusations made by the inhabitants he accentuates that he isn’t a racist. He worries about the children and it is his right to deny the marriage between 2 different races. By the way he works in Tangipahoa Parish, on the countryside of Louisiana. The main opponent of the judge, Keith Bardwell, is the American association of civil rights, the ACLU. In the mean time they have claimed. for the resignation of the judge. Their main argument that they wrote in the letter to the on the Court is that a judge has only follow the law not his theories. The judge stays on his point of view by saying that those marriages haven’t got any chance for success. Now they are waiting for a positive reaction of the letter so there comes any victims of the “theories” of the judge.

Opinion:
Cultural difference is the main cause of bad marriages but the judge may not give his opinion on that matter. I think it is incredible that this is happening in the country of Obama, the land of freedom and prosperity. A good solution would be marrying in another state. But I think that the judge has a point about the importance of children. Because they aren’t accepted as equals by the both “races”, they become the dupe. These times people divorce frequently ,a good marriage is exceptional. The Constitution guarantees the equality between the different races and people. A decision against the Constitution is not possible. So they can go to the supreme court.

  1. I think it's wrong to judge on the skincolour. There is no scientific proof that the marriage between a black man and a white woman is less successful. The judge can't make a decision if it isn't based on any laws. This is a violation of the human rights.
