Just When You Thought Things Were Getting Better...

A white Louisiana justice of the peace said he refused to issue a marriage license to an interracial couple out of concern for any children the couple might have.

Keith Bardwell, justice of the peace in Tangipahoa Parish, says it is his experience that most interracial marriages do not last long.

"I'm not a racist. I just don't believe in mixing the 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."

Bardwell said he asks everyone who calls about marriage if they are a mixed race couple. If they are, he does not marry them, he said.

Bardwell said he has discussed the topic with blacks and whites, along with witnessing some interracial marriages. He came to the conclusion that most of black society does not readily accept offspring of such relationships, and neither does white society, he said.

"There is a problem with both groups accepting a child from such a marriage," Bardwell said. "I think those children suffer and I won't help put them through it."

If he did an interracial marriage for one couple, he must do the same for all, he said.

"I try to treat everyone equally," he said.

OBAMA MAKES FIRST PRESIDENTIAL NEW ORLEANS VISIT

President Obama visited New Orleans yesterday for the first time since he became president. During a speech at the University of New Orleans, he said, "I promise you this -- whether it's me coming down here or my cabinet or other members of my administration -- we will not forget about New Orleans. We are going to keep on working. . Together, we will rebuild this region, and we will build it stronger than before." Obama spent four hours touring the city, including the Lower Ninth Ward, which was devastated by the storm. During his appearance at the university, Obama was peppered with questions, not only about New Orleans' recovery, but also about a myriad of issues that plague the city. Among the biggest hits the President took was a question about federal money still being slow to trickle down to the city. Obama responded with a list of policies and programs he's enacted, but also pointed a finger at local and state officials for delaying some progress. He pledged to the crowd that "by the time my term is over, you are going to look back and say this was a responsive administration on housing, on health care" and other issues.

GATES' GIFT TO AFRICAN-AMERICAN MUSEUM

The Smithsonian's National Museum of African-American History and Culture received another financial gift yesterday, this time from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The Microsoft founder gave a generous ten-million dollars to the facility, which is slated to break ground on the National Mall in Washington D-C in 2012. The grant will support the capital campaign for design and construction of the new museum. Construction is estimated to total roughly 500-million dollars, with half the funds to be provided by Congress. The museum is scheduled to open in 2015.

In April, Boeing -- the aerospace and defense company -- donated five-million dollars to the museum.
