Georgia City Councilman Resigns After Claiming Interracial Marriage Is Wrong

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.”

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.

Give me a fucking break with you cynicism! How the hell do you know what "most interracial relationships are based on? Yes, maybe some would fit your description , but you can't use that to condemn interracial relationships across the board. You're just trying to rationalize and justify you racism. And before you protest, it is most certainly racism. You are stereotyping black women and assuming that those who enter into a relationship with a white man have been the victim of an abusive, uncaring black man. Black women are domineering and materialistic? Give me a fucking break!

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?

 

[Lysistrata]

I wonder how people can say these foolish things about race, and sex, and ethnicity, etc. and go on another thread and claim that they have religious faith in a Supreme Being. Following the Christian narrative, each individual has been created and assigned a human body by the Supreme Being. Whatever type/color body you're in, you were assigned to it by your creator. If you don't like somebody else's body, take it up with a Higher Authority.

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

So the First Amendment right of free expression of one's opinion means nothing to you? Forgive me, I must have been mistaken that I believed it did.

So when Farrakhan blasts whites, you support that. I'm glad to know this.

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.

Why he's not on the SPLC's list of hate groups or terrorist organizations, is beyond me.

He should be.

 

[IM2]

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.

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

 

[22lcidw]

I wonder how people can say these foolish things about race, and sex, and ethnicity, etc. and go on another thread and claim that they have religious faith in a Supreme Being. Following the Christian narrative, each individual has been created and assigned a human body by the Supreme Being. Whatever type/color body you're in, you were assigned to it by your creator. If you don't like somebody else's body, take it up with a Higher Authority.

The real test of anything is when bad times arrive. It hurts but it is often true. That is when the blame game is put into the forefront. We have seen it many times in human history. People are maneuvered. It is relative good times and we are maneuvered.

There is never, ever any excuse for anyone to blame another person for the type of physical body they have. This is a decision made Upstairs. The most white, most male white supremacist could just as easily been born a brown-skinned girl of the lowest caste in India.

The scapegoating has to stop. People have no right to take part in it and then carry themselves off as members of a religious faith, Christian or not.
