Georgia City Councilman Resigns After Claiming Interracial Marriage Is Wrong

[TheProgressivePatriot]

THe mass hysteria of you libs, pretending that you are living in some nazi victory timeline, is getting old.


You are not a brave rebel, making a brave stand against the Evul Supervillains.


You are delusional asses, who put other people down, to somehow justify your delusional self images.

Gibberish! Desperate blathering

I concisely and seriously addressed your post.


Your pretense otherwise, is ironically, just an evasive tactic, from a liberal, who knows at some level, that he cannot defend his positions and policies based on their merits.

He's a serial virtue signaler....He turns the beacon up especially bright when it comes to homeauxs.

In the end, it's not about any supposed civil rights of anyone else, it's about him basking in the masturbatory self-congratulation of how much a better person he is than you.

That would explain how easily and quickly he gets angry, when I call him on his bullshit.

Doing so repeatedly will get you on his iggy list...He's really quite thin skinned about it.

I hope that you boys are getting your rocks off by deluding yourselves into thinking that you know me. You might want to consider the possibility that I'm having fun ******* with you

$1000 that he voted for Trump.

Wrong, they voted for Jill Stein thinking they were voting for the Russian plant...

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.”

He's a moron...

Until America was founded and made into the world's superpower, there was a universally accepted idea of the right of conquest. World War II led organizations like the UN to abolish the concept.

I grant you that when the colonists bought land with trinkets, they pulled off deals that Trump could never match, but they did what was considered legal at the time. Unfortunately it is what it is. Furthermore, our Constitution prohibits ex post facto laws, so as long as the Constitution stands, you have no recourse. That is being used as a justification for the genocide against whites as well as the all out assault against the Constitution.

[miketx]

You and all of the progressive fools are wrong. I have been in an interracial marriage for over 40 years, and I am not homophobic. I'm just scared of queers, and people should be able to marry who they want as long as they are human.

You say in one sentence that you are not homophobic, yet in the very next sentence you say that you are "just scared of queers".

Dude........................dictionary.com is your friend and can help keep you from making stupid posts like this one. Here, let me help you out.................

homophobia
[ hoh-muh-foh-bee-uh ]
noun
1. unreasoning fear of or antipathy toward homosexuals and homosexuality.


Hate to tell you, but being "just scared of queers" is the textbook definition of homophobia. Yes, according to the definition of the word, and by your own admission, you are homophobic.

Satire, you ignorant bastard!

He is right. Georgia fans and Alabama fans should not get married. Roll Tide.

 

[Syriusly]

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 ******* 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 ***** in my lifetime, I am a scholar of human emotions, and a damned fine judge of character.

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.

God forbids inter-racial marriage. Consequently, the founders / framers outlawed inter-racial marriage .

Maybe your 'god' forbids inter-racial marriage. But the god of most Americans doesn't.

That the sight of a white woman walking hand in hand with a black man upsets your delicate sensibilities just makes me smile.

Not really. Most times those women are fat wigs that nobody else would touch with a ten foot pole.

Everyone needs someone, I guess.

 

[TheProgressivePatriot]

As a Christian pastor I can say that the Bible does, in fact, prohibit inter-racial marriage and the concept of God's people being ruled over by the mixed multitude.

It has been mostly within my own lifetime that preachers and churches have changed the tenets of their religion in order to retain their non-profit status and remain popular with the masses.

I have to wonder what bible you're reading The bible is so cryptic and convoluted that any bigot or fear monger can find something to support their extreme views.
Most people-including Christians - do not support or believe that crap on interracial marriage just like most do no condemn same sex marriage. You reactionaries also used the bible to justify slavery and segregation but we don't hear much about that because those evils are out of fashion now, although your reference to race mixing comes close

What does Bible say about interracial marriage?

The Bible’s answer. God approves of marriage between a man and a woman of different races because all races are equal in his sight. The Bible says: “God treats everyone on the same basis . . . , no matter what race.”— Acts 10:34, 35, Good News Translation. Consider some other Bible principles that bear on racial equality and marriage.

Inter-racial marriage, for me, is no different than the guy who does drugs, is caught stealing, or anything else. It evokes no special feeling in me. If people do it, then any consequence is on them, not me. God did not appoint me to judge them.

You are absolutely deslusional. For example:

In the current U.S. Congress 13 percent of it is made up of immigrants and / or the children of immigrants. That totals 68 legislators and 57 of those are Democrats.

In 116th Congress, at least 13% of lawmakers are immigrants or the children of immigrants

Virtually all of those Democrats are rabidly anti-Christian and anti-white. They are a fair representation of the country over-all. There are plenty of white people who have abandoned their heritage and culture, making their race irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.

Stacey Abrams, a virulent racist, that demands reparations from whites, only lost her bid for governor by under 2 percent of the vote in a state that has rejected Dems for many years.

According to U.S. Census figures roughly half of all U.S. counties had a population of at least 98 percent. Today fewer than 5 percent of the counties in the United States can make that claim.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...-decline-of-white-america-over-three-decades/

I live about 25 miles from the city in this thread. In 1980 nearly 85 percent of the residents were white. Today, it's fewer than 50 percent AND we've been all Republican until the last couple of elections.

You and I live on different planets.

While I disagree with your assessment and I disagree with Bob Jones University as well, here is what they believed until Uncle Scam forced them to change the tenets of their faith:

"Is Segregation Scriptural?" by Bob Jones Sr, 1960

The fact that a majority believes anything carries NO authority. It was a majority that worshiped the Golden Calf during the absence of Moses. Since that time, history has proven that the masses are usually wrong. I won't derail this thread to make the point, but if you really want to know, start another thread and invite me or PM me.

You said that the famers outlawed it. How exactly did they do that ?

Yanno, I know there were parts in the OT where Jews and Gentiles weren't supposed to marry, but I've never heard of any passages where it is against interracial marriage.

no--THE Lord

 

[ABikerSailor]

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.

You weren't elected to the Navy, dumbass! You voluntarily agreed to those restriction on your speech.

Hey, the politicians made a conscious voluntary choice to run. Sorry, but they chose it just like I did, only they had to get elected first.
