Georgia City Councilman Resigns After Claiming Interracial Marriage Is Wrong

[Lysistrata]

I would not have doubted that people like this still exist. What is shocking is that a person in a position of power and public trust believed that he could say this out loud and actually get away with it!

Georgia City Councilman Resigns After Claiming Interracial Marriage Is Wrong

Bible Belt Racism: A Georgia city councilman has resigned after publicly opposing interracial marriage because of his sincerely held Christian beliefs.

Someone should point out to him that the vast majority of Christians would find this belief revolting. The good news is:

In related news, the mayor is a bigot also:

Georgia mayor under fire for alleged remarks about black job candidate

I wouldn’t have.. we have a right to have an opinion

There is no belief in the Christian faith against marriages between "races."

I didn’t bring up Christianity,, I brought up diversity of thought

This city councilman was the one who actually brought up the Christian faith, and misrepresented and prostituted this worldwide faith as justification for his bigotry and malice.

Thank you for agreeing with me

I didn't. This moron may have an "opinion," but he lied about an entire faith to justify his opinion, insulting millions of Christians.

 

[White 6]

The First Amendment doesn't give anyone, not even radical black-separatists and liberation-theologists like Farrakhan to spew anti-white and anti-Semitic hate speech, though.

And it damn sure doesn't give white men to spew anti-black racism either.

Perhaps you go take a class on the constitution.

Gentlemen, Gentlemen, calm down. I think that standing up for the right to spew that sh*t is exactly what first amendment says about hate speech. By unanimous Supreme Court opinion. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...hate-speech-exception-to-the-first-amendment/

Merry Christmas to men of good cheer.

$1000 that he voted for Trump.

I would lower that bet to a nickel. Why throw good money away on a guaranteed answer?

Listen..........as a U.S. Navy Sailor, when I was on active duty, I had to watch what opinions I aired in public, as there were certain things I could NOT say publicly because if I did, I could be brought to Captain's Mast.

That is also how I feel that public officials should behave. They can have their feelings in private (like I did), but public airing of my views had to be curbed so as to not bring discredit to the Navy or the military overall, so I think this person was right to step down.

Georgia City Councilman Resigns After Claiming Interracial Marriage Is Wrong

Bible Belt Racism: A Georgia city councilman has resigned after publicly opposing interracial marriage because of his sincerely held Christian beliefs.

Earlier this year Hoschton City Councilman Jim Cleveland defended his mayor’s decision to discriminate against a black man by citing his sincerely held Christian beliefs and his opposition to interracial marriage.

At the time, Councilman Cleveland explained that he is a Christian, and as a Christian, he has a problem with “race mixing.”

Someone should point out to him that the vast majority of Christians would find this belief revolting. The good news is:

After making headlines for his openly racist claim, Cleveland was faced with mounting opposition and a recall election next month, and so decided to resign rather than fact the public humiliation of a recall.

In related news, the mayor is a bigot also:

Georgia mayor under fire for alleged remarks about black job candidate

The mayor of Hoschton, a nearly all-white community 50 miles northeast of Atlanta, allegedly withheld a job candidate from consideration for city administrator because he was black, an AJC investigation has found.

According to documents obtained by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and interviews with city officials, Mayor Theresa Kenerly told a member of the City Council she pulled the resume of Keith Henry from a packet of four finalists “because he is black, and the city isn’t ready for this.”

Mmm, so the accusations against the Mayor are FOURTH HAND accounts? And one of the layers is the media?


You know, if America was half as racist as you lefties claim, this guy would not be being forced out of office because of his statement.


Just saying.

Give me a fucking break. Are you saying that is fake news?

I said what I said. You know it to be a strong and valid point, as you demonstrat by NOT addressing it.



That is as close as you libs get to admitting when you lose. Not addressing the point.


I admit your admission would have been stronger, if you had called me a "racist". That is the Gold Standard of a Liberal, when he feels his world view being crushed by Logic and Reason.


But still, that is certainly a win for me. This thread is done. You as op can asked for it to be closed.

As usual , you delude your self into thinking that you won something. The fact that he caught a shit storm over it does not mean that America is not racist. The fact that he exists and felt free to make those remarks proves how deeply ingrained racism is

Yeah, we went over all of that, and you had a choice of how to respond, and you choose to dodge, thus admitting that, on some level, you know I am right.


America is not nearly as racist as America haters like you, want to pretend.


This demonstrates it.


YOu lose.

Yes we have a right to an opinion, but public officials do not have the right to employ discriminatory hiring practices, to convey a sense that they would not treat all constituents equally or to impose their religious beliefs on others.

So you think democrats should be removed from office then? Wow ok

What Democrats are you referring to? If there is a who said something like that , then yes, they should be removed

What is amazing how intolerant you are of others.

He is entitled to his feelings. If he didn't legislate anything in that direction...he isn't out of line.

It does not matter if I agree with him or not....

I am intolerant of bigotry, stupidity and, … yes intolerance. He most certainly is out of line as a public official because his words undoubtedly alienated a segment of the electorate that is supposed to be representing

Bible Belt Racism: A Georgia city councilman has resigned after publicly opposing interracial marriage because of his sincerely held Christian beliefs.

Personally, I believe over the centuries people embracing ignorant, unproved beliefs in divine supernatural beings have greatly impeded the peaceful & HEALTHY evolution of the human species.

Yesterday, Bible/God embracing burned alive and tortured non-believing Human Beings. :SICK:

Today, Bible/God people HATEFULLY demean and denigrate others for choosing to LOVE a same gender partner, as well as spew HATE at citizens peacefully pursuing THEIR OWN vision for L, L, (LOVE) and Happiness when making a personal decision to SAFELY, as well as LAWFULLY terminate an unwanted pregnancy.

Bottomline: People, especially elected officials believing in supernatural Gods, have no business pushing their dated, ignorant beliefs on others.

As for interracial marriage. Seems everyone has an opinion:

AMANDA SEALES LEADING BLACK WOMEN TO A DITCH! PRO BLACK DOESN'T BENEFIT BLACK WOMEN!





Peace.

 

[Bob Blaylock]

Mmm, so the accusations against the Mayor are FOURTH HAND accounts? And one of the layers is the media?


You know, if America was half as racist as you lefties claim, this guy would not be being forced out of office because of his statement.


Just saying.

One of the layers is Patheos.com—a known extreme left wrong-wing source of lies and propaganda. On that basis alone, it's safest to assume that the entire premise of this thread is bullshit. But, then, I think just about everyone in this forum knows better than to assume anything other than that from TheRegressiveParasite.

 

[Bob Blaylock]

Give me a fucking break. Are you saying that is fake news?

PATHEOS.COM

That's enough to answer that question, even without all the layers of hearsay.

 

[Bob Blaylock]

The fact that he exists and felt free to make those remarks proves how deeply ingrained racism is

The alternative is a society in which one is only “free” to hold and express officially-approved beliefs and opinions—a society that I know you left wrong-wing filth dream of, as long as you get to decide what beliefs and opinions will be officially approved.

 

[Bob Blaylock]

The First Amendment doesn't give anyone, not even radical black-separatists and liberation-theologists like Farrakhan to spew anti-white and anti-Semitic hate speech, though.

And it damn sure doesn't give white men to spew anti-black racism either.

No, it doesn't “give” any right. But it affirms exactly that right, to say what one believes, regardless of how disagreeable someone else may find what is being said.

There's no need to protect a right to express inoffensive, popular opinions that nobody would want to silence. It is exactly the opinions that anyone wants to silence that are the point of free speech, as affirmed by the First Amendment.

 

[Bob Blaylock]

This is not about free speech. He was a public official who has power and authority and must be held to a higher standard. He can't be allowed to alienate and marginalize others when he is supposed to be representing everyone. Now that he is a private citizen, he can say whatever the fuck he wants

It is exactly about free speech.

I would not have doubted that people like this still exist. What is shocking is that a person in a position of power and public trust believed that he could say this out loud and actually get away with it!

According to documents obtained by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and interviews with city officials, Mayor Theresa Kenerly told a member of the City Council she pulled the resume of Keith Henry from a packet of four finalists “because he is black, and the city isn’t ready for this.”

I thought your only concern was if other cock suckers and fudge packers were discriminated against. He didn't say anything about faggots but I'm guessing he had no love loss for them either.

You thought wrong dip shit!! I am concerned about all civil rights issues. Now, do you actually have anything of any intellectual quality to contribute here or are you just going to be a fucking DICK

Well we know the answer to that.

Notice not one of these homophobic dicks actually seems to disagree Cleveland's opposition to mixed race marriages.

No surprise there either.

Having almost been in a mixed-race marriage myself at one time, I can tell you that they're a sham. Most mixed relationships are based on the hatred of one or the other race. They're seen as a "status symbol" among liberals.

Liberal white women often become involved in mixed-race relationships as a form of protest, usually against their parents. Liberal white males especially see mixed-race relationships as a "status symbol", proving to themselves and the world that "They're not racist."

In the case of black women, a white significant other is generally because they've been abused by a black man at some time. They engage themselves in a relationship with a white man, mostly out of spite from their perception that they were fucked over by some uncaring black man.

In the case of a black man involved with a white woman, generally they tend to be blonde white women. They typically do that because black women tend to be domineering and materialistic, which to many black men is emasculating. Therefore, they sometimes run off with blond, white women as revenge for their emasculation.

You can laugh at this if you want to but having been both a liberal Democrat at one time and a musician for 30 years, I know a little bit. I've had more than my share of black pussy in my lifetime, I am a scholar of human emotions, and a damned fine judge of character.

Mixed race? Isn't that a marriage where you like NASCAR but your wife is a Formula 1 fan?

Why can't 2 people of different races simply like each other and fall in love? I've known a few bi-racial couples in my time, and none of what you have posted applies to any of them. Gordon, a person I was stationed with in Jacksonville, was married to a black woman, and those two were the most loving couple I've ever seen. And, not only that, their lives would have been easier on them if they hadn't been a bi-racial couple. In the late 80's and early 90's, I saw him catch a lot of grief from white boys when they saw him with his wife.

I also know that for myself, I could have ended up with a girl named Kelly who was black (I'm white btw). Why? Because not only was she strikingly beautiful, but she was also smart as hell and had a wicked sense of humor. But, unfortunately, she got stationed one place, and I got stationed another.

No, you could not have "ended up with a girl' named Kelly because you would only do boys named Kelly of any racial background. .Your talents as a titless WAVE would have been wasted on a female!
