A mayor reportedly said her city isn’t ready for a black leader. A council member went further.
“I’m a Christian and my Christian beliefs are you don’t do interracial marriage. That’s the way I was brought up and that’s the way I believe,” he said. “I have black friends, I hired black people. But when it comes to all this stuff you see on TV, when you see blacks and whites together, it makes my blood boil because that’s just not the way a Christian is supposed to live.”
As a minority, he said, discrimination “comes with the territory.”
One woman showed Cleveland a photo of her daughter and son-in-law, who Fuller said are an interracial couple.
“They’re a beautiful couple,” the woman told Cleveland.
“I don’t believe in that,” Cleveland responded. “I don’t disrespect it — I promise you I don’t, I’m not racist, but I don’t believe in interracial marriage, and that’s the end of that story.”

Turns out they are Republicans. Is that a surprise? To anyone?\
