Keep Marysville White

[Jitss617]

For the first hour of the election forum in Marysville, Michigan, on Thursday night the debate between the five candidates for a city council seat dealt with the local subjects you might expect – how to improve Little League fields, new real estate developments and the like.

Then the question came: “Do you believe the diversity of our community needs to be looked at?”

First to answer was Jean Cramer, a local resident running her first political campaign. She replied: “Keep Marysville a white community as much as possible.”

Good heavens. I wonder what party she was representing ?

She has a point the most diverse looking communities in America are all high in crime

Based on what evidence?

No racists here, folks.

Democrats thinks it's racist to protect your town.

 

[Polishprince]

For it’s worth, according to the 2010 Census the city of Marysville is almost 98% honky.

why does anyone care about this idiot place?

Just because a community has a high percentage of Honkies, doesn't make it an "idiot place" at all.

The reason why a lot of cities in the north have very high percentages of Whites is due to the fact that there weren't any opportunities in those towns when African Americans were engaged in the "Great Migration" Blacks moved into areas like Detroit, because the auto industry offered a lot of opportunity when they were looking for places to go.

Hey Tommy, tell us about all the times you've been to Michigan and whether or not her views represent typical Michigander views.

I'll wait right here

Probably the majority of them agree but are too scared to admit it publicly.

Tommy's beloved Wales has only 0.7% black and mixed black included. Wonder why Tommy doesn't move to a more diverse place and out of obviously racist Wales, since he seems so concerned about deploring racism n stuff.

It was a racist question to begin with and pretty ridiculous one at that. So the residents in a community are now responsible for making their neighborhoods more diverse? How do you do that? When someone is selling you tell them they can only sell to certain race? How about just letting people live their lives how and where they want to without government getting involved.

The way to make a community more diverse is to welcome all races, ethnicities and religions. Who actually moves into the community will dependent on the cost of living and jobs. So a community with a high cost of living and more higher paying jobs who welcome minorities will likely have a more diverse religious population, more gay and lesbians, more European and Middle Eastern than Hispanics and Blacks. For poorer communities, the reverse is true.

What? Do communities post signs that say "white only"? If so I haven't seen them. Anyone can go live where ever they want in this country. With that said, neighbors can also keep to themselves if they wish. You're forcing your world view on others. Some people just want to be left alone to live their lives how they choose without anyone else bothering them, which is totally fine.

Yes, people can live wherever they want but people do not like to live in places where they aren't wanted. By electing city officials that are all white, no Jews, Muslims, Blacks, Hispanics sends a message as to what type of town this is. Creating public spaces and parks only in white non-ethnic neighborhoods. Depiction of only White Americans in the public displays, murals, and statues and making sure all signs are in English only sends a strong message. However, the strongest weapon is the people of the town. By cultivating an anti-diversity environment, the town is sure to attract it's share of racists and people who have strong prejudices against those of other faiths and cultures, as well as those with un-American ideas.

A few well placed signs such as following popping up from time to time will get the message across.

Again Sandpoint, Idaho is a community that is 0.1% black. The opinion of the natives of that town are based on TV and movie representation of black people, not on any personal interactions between Sandpointonians and blacks.

Why is the main stream media presenting blacks in such a light of negativity?

[Picaro]

Ever notice how these fake 'anti-racists' never get all upset over forcing black neighborhoods to integrate and stop discriminating against other races and ethnic groups ? No marches through Da Hoods, praising the glories of 'Diversity N Stuff!' for the hoodies, no lawsuits on behalf of no-black ethnic groups for equal access to public housing, low income housing, etc. We just get bourgeois Burb Brats like Tommy, from all white regions trying to make us believe he's 'anti-racist'. lol what a hoot.

Black culture is itself violent and racist, and it makes it easier for the hood rats to rob people if they can convince the rubes they're 'dangerous n shit', then any scrawny crackhead piece of shit can steal with abandon. Or so the morons think; they still win Darwin Awards at much higher rates then even mentally retarded squirrels on off road bikes.

So few people of color live in northern Idaho, long-time residents simply don't have a chance to know people of other ethnic backgrounds. Over the last 30 years, a number of white supremacist have moved into northern Idaho which has created an Image of Sandpoint as a racist haven.

Sandpoint is a good example of a mono-cultural society and why a more diverse environment would benefit the town. There are practically no Jews or Muslims in Sandpoint Less than 2% of the people are Catholic. Only a dozen or so blacks live in the town. A community as homogeneous as Sandpoint is a community with very narrow views. That might at first seem like a great environment where everyone sees the world through the same glasses but it's not. In solving problems, diverse groups come up with more creative solutions. This is why businesses are almost all local or regional. National businesses as well as most people of ethnic descent would find Sandpoint not to their liking which is a shame because it is truly a beautiful area.

Lite house Dressing is a national brand of refrigerated dressings that call Sandpoint, ID. home.

As far a beautiful, it has Lake Pend Oreille. To me it is nothing more than a tourist trap. They say the sking up at Schweitzer is great but I don’t ski and they don’t take care of their roads to the ski area.

I’m not sure why people live in those areas, to begin with. They offer little to minorities and minorities tend to stick with those they are like. It is the mentality of people.

Take a look at minor league baseball a mix of Caribbean, Cuban, S. American, blacks, white Americans and when traveling, they form friendships and bonds with some teammates, however as a rule, they segregate themselves. People find it difficult to move out of their comfort zones.

So few people of color live in northern Idaho, long-time residents simply don't have a chance to know people of other ethnic backgrounds. Over the last 30 years, a number of white supremacist have moved into northern Idaho which has created an Image of Sandpoint as a racist haven.

Sandpoint is a good example of a mono-cultural society and why a more diverse environment would benefit the town. There are practically no Jews or Muslims in Sandpoint Less than 2% of the people are Catholic. Only a dozen or so blacks live in the town. A community as homogeneous as Sandpoint is a community with very narrow views. That might at first seem like a great environment where everyone sees the world through the same glasses but it's not. In solving problems, diverse groups come up with more creative solutions. This is why businesses are almost all local or regional. National businesses as well as most people of ethnic descent would find Sandpoint not to their liking which is a shame because it is truly a beautiful area.

Most "diverse" places are actually just black areas where you won't find a white person for miles.

Most inner cities lack diversity to an often shocking degree.
