I posted it because saying "I don't believe in interracial marriage. It isn't Christian." is an unacceptable position for a public servant to espouse... no matter the ethnicity of said public servant.

Why is that belief unacceptable? Must we ALL believe the same way? Is homogeneity of belief the goal?

I probably should have said unacceptable in my opinion. How are you going to represent constituents that have interracial marriages with that viewpoint? But I'll concede you that point, plenty of politicians hold beliefs that seem anathemic to one group or another.

The mayor said that the city isn't ready for a black administrator. Is that OK with you? Does that fall within heterogeneity of belief as well?

Representatives are supposed to represent everybody, not just the PC viewpoints or the ones they agree with.

As for the mayor, I think he is a dinosaur - but he has the right to his opinion, and the voters can vote on him.

I live in a county that is 95% white and 67% Republican. Most people have guns. (I do) Most drive pick ups. (I don't) Yet somehow we old racists have elected two black city council members and appointed a black Chief of Police. Kind of tired of you trying to cherry pick your way into "proving" we are all racists and that racists are our heroes.

For what feels like the hundredth time, I am simply pointing out that picking out some rando state level politician who does dumb stuff doesn't mean that they represent the party. Or are a "hero" to the party. Nobody knows who this guy Sims is but you keep trying to make him some Democratic stalwart. Stop. It's silly.

I have never tried to make all Republicans out to be racists. Almost all my family are Republicans and none of them are racist.
