Keep Marysville White

[Tommy Tainant]

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 ?

This coming from a guy where over 95% of the population is white. Your country lacks diversity and yet you preach to others? Give me a break. You racists make me sick.

What would qualify me to be able to comment in your authoritarian world ?

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 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?

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.

According to the Floppers of the Democratic Party, that's fine; it's only whites that need to be forced to integrate and have themselves subjected to violent racist criminals for no reason other than being white.

Your trying to force people how to live through government. I hate racism just as much as you do (I'm 50% Hispanic and I've seen plenty of racism), but you can't force people to see the world through your eyes. There's no doubt racists are in the minority now. Regardless, I don't want a statue of a Hispanic for the sake of just having a Hispanic, and I certainly don't want a Hispanic in government if your sole purpose if just to have a Hispanic there. Minorities who are qualified will get those positions. Minorities who deserve a status will eventually get one. But I'm not going to tear down white statues because I want to see a Hispanic. It's makes no sense and it's really not that far off from what a racist would do. This isn't the 1950's anymore, stop legislating like it is. Because if you keep doing what you're doing then eventually you'll become the very thing you despise.

Where did I say you couldn’t comment? I am not an authoritarian, you can make all the comments you want, doesn’t matter to me. I use my free speech to respond to your hypocrisy. The fact I call you out on your nonsense doesn’t mean I’m a authoritarian.

BTW, are you an authoritarian on authoritarians? Just wondering, it seems to be your new word of the week.

Well put. You can not control people’s thoughts. Forcing your position has never worked and just builds more resentment. I hope to see a day racism doesn’t exist.

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.

The reason why Sandpoint has relatively few blacks, or other ethnic groups for that matter, is the lack of opportunity in the region over the past 100 years. The area was first settled to exploit the vast lumber resources of the region, but that industry stagnated and fell a long time ago- before the Great Migration of blacks occurred. Blacks didn't move to the area, because in the age before the Welfare State, they moved where jobs were available. Why leave one's home in the Mississippi Delta and incur the cost of a triple down parka, if there isn't a job available when one makes it to northern Idaho? Better to go to Flint to build automobiles.

No community "chooses" to become more "diverse", its something that happens to them when economic opportunities arise.

I haven't looked at the stats, but I bet the 2020 census will show North Dakota as getting more diverse with the oil industry booming there.

 

[bodecea]

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

OMG that is 3% more white racist than Obammy's 95% white Martha's Vineyard.

That truly truly bothers you, doesn't it?

George Soros is hiring these actors to play a racist White Republican candidate, to make it seems as if Republicans are a group of racists. I have seen this woman playing in a scene on on movie. Remove that wig and make up that she has on. She looks like an actor, but I can't remember what movie she played in. But I do remembered that voice.
Someone needs to investigate how long she has lived there. And check her birth certificate to see if she is who she claims to be.
During the last Presidential election. They had this guy running that was saying that he is going to make America White again. But later on, that they have found out that he was some fool from a Leftist's group trying to do the same
This two parties system is some type of mind control trick. They want to keep you in this form of belief system in order to control your thoughts. But to make it work. They need to destroy the part of the brain that helps you to analyze a situation, which that part of the brain is called the hippocampus. Which if it gets intoxicated with fluoride or mercury. That it will keep you from recalling any information that you have absorbed. So that you will be unable to put the pieces together in a puzzle. That you will have to let someone else or a party to solve the problems. Because most of the time, that you will be living in a dream state. That is why that they are having so many health scare of an outbreak before this upcoming election. So that can fill up people to the rim with vaccines.
Now we have monkey see, monkey do people floating around, that are unable to figure out what is really going on. Because one person that claims to be apart of a certain party. Doesn't means that the party that she is apart of, has the same belief system as this woman. These frauds were never elected.


Mercury and hippocampus

Is fluoride an ingredient in Prozac and rat poison?



Did this guy win in a state that is predominately White? That shows how Whites feel about racism.

He's a ******* waste of skin. A real shit bag! Mind your own business, prick.

 

[Aletheia4u]

She is an actor. She is trying to make Trump's supporters and Christians into racist. And I'll bet that she never had entered into any church ever in her life. Because in the Bible. One of Noah sons were Black. Which it means that Noah was in a relationship with a Black woman. The Bible isn't clear about how Noah's sons came to exist.
And also Moses had married a Black woman and had two sons by her. And which most of the Hebrews and Egyptians were a mixture of Black and Hebrew. That is why Moses was accepted as an Egyptian. And Solomon had a child with Bathsheba a Black woman, which she was the Queen from the far south, which that is the territory that was populated by Blacks, who were the descendants of Ham. .
The Globalist are still secretly attacking Christianity. Trying to figure out ways to make it into a radical religion. So that they can go back killing babies. Christianity has always has been in their way of progress. They want to do what pleases them. If they want to give birth to a child and cook it or to have sex with the newly born child.. That Christianity blocks them from doing that.

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.

I've seen a few racist signs in various places but I have never had any conversations with a white supremacists in the area. I've notice a lot of people are a bit clannish.

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 ?

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.

Legacy Of Hate: The Specter Of North Idaho's Past Still Haunts Region

Your trying to force people how to live through government. I hate racism just as much as you do (I'm 50% Hispanic and I've seen plenty of racism), but you can't force people to see the world through your eyes. There's no doubt racists are in the minority now. Regardless, I don't want a statue of a Hispanic for the sake of just having a Hispanic, and I certainly don't want a Hispanic in government if your sole purpose if just to have a Hispanic there. Minorities who are qualified will get those positions. Minorities who deserve a status will eventually get one. But I'm not going to tear down white statues because I want to see a Hispanic. It's makes no sense and it's really not that far off from what a racist would do. This isn't the 1950's anymore, stop legislating like it is. Because if you keep doing what you're doing then eventually you'll become the very thing you despise.

I'm not saying we should force people to do anything. I believe towns and cities should welcome all races, ethnic groups, and religions. There are lots of ways of doing this that don't force anyone to do anything. For example provide Spanish translations of documents and signs in government buildings. Businesses and government offices that provide vital services such as pharmacies, hospitals, police, fire, ect should have translation services readily available. These services can be surprisingly inexpensive but can be a real life saver. Welcome packs to the city should material for foreigners. Communities that are supportive of diversity not only attract different ethnic groups but also attract large businesses.
