MARYSVILLE, Mich. – Marysville City Council candidate Jean Cramer said she doesn’t have any plans to back out of the race despite coming under fire for racist comments she made at an election forum Thursday night.

Mayor Dan Damman and other local leaders, however, have called for her withdrawal.

“I would say that I probably came to the conclusion this morning,” he said Friday. “After the initial shock of what she said really sank in and (given) the deep-seated viewpoints that she has, I don’t believe that she is fit to serve as an elected official in Marysville or anywhere else.”

Cramer, one of five residents vying for three council seats in November’s election, responded to a question at a city candidates’ forum about attracting foreign-born residents to the community with: “Keep Marysville a white community as much as possible.”

After the forum, she expanded on her beliefs, particularly that people of different races shouldn’t get married.

Candidate Says City in Michigan Should Be Kept White ‘As Much as Possible’

Jean Cramer, who is running for City Council in Marysville, Mich., added, “No foreign people.”

Jean Cramer, a candidate, went first and unabashedly shared her view: “Keep Marysville a white community as much as possible.”

Amid audible gasps from fellow candidates, Ms. Cramer followed up her statement. “Seriously,” she said. “In other words, no foreign-born. No foreign people.”

Her comments not only stunned the other candidates, including one who put her hand to her mouth in shock, but they also gained widespread attention.

Marysville is about 55 miles northeast of Detroit and has a population of 9,706, about 95 percent of it white, according to census figures.

After the forum, Ms. Cramer expanded on her views to The Times Herald and said that Ms. Hayman’s family was “in the wrong” because it was multiracial.

“Husband and wife need to be the same race,” Ms. Cramer told the paper. “Same thing with the kids. That’s how it’s been from the beginning of, how can I say, when God created the heaven and the earth. He created Adam and Eve at the same time. But as far as me being against blacks, no I’m not.”

Ms. Cramer told The Times Herald on Friday that she would not have an issue if a black couple moved next door to her. “What is the issue is the biracial marriages, that’s the big problem,” Ms. Cramer said. “And there are a lot of people who don’t know it’s in the Bible and so they’re going outside of that.”

Ms. Cramer was asked if she understood why her comments could upset her neighbors. “If there is the biracial marriage in the family, yes,” she said.

1. Maybe we should have communities like that.

Not for me, but for people like her. They can go to church armed.

Since they will need somebody to look down on, they can look down on each other.

2. She should wear a medical bracelet that says "ONLY AMERICAN-BORN WHITES FOR MY HEALTHCARE"

to expedite her long overdue departure to an all-white heaven

4. Peope like this crack me up

When they say, "the bible says...", they really think God dictated it to somebody somehow. Any biblical scholar will tell you it was written by several MEN, at different times, men who had their own superstitions, beliefs, fears, and generally narrow-minded, folklore-like unworldly point of view. That's one reason Mary had to be a virgin because it was so important and valued in those times. These folks today are living their lives according to attitudes and ways of life adhered to over 2000 years ago! People! You've got a brain, use it.

5. In some ways it's good that this racism is out in the open.

Too many white people assume that racism is no longer a problem. Evidence like this helps us recognize the problem. Next step - do something about it. Speak up.

6. Jesus: "Love one another

As I have loved you, so you must love one another."
