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.
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.”
Just pretend that the inter-racial couple was aborted, then you'll no longer give a fuck.
