This city wanted to be welcoming. Then a candidate vowed to ‘keep Marysville a white community.’

Yup, this is where we are.
By all accounts, Thursday night’s council forum in Marysville, Mich., was supposed to be about moving the city forward.

Discussion ranged from new housing projects to enhancing parks and recreation in the small community 50 miles north of Detroit, where five candidates are lobbying to fill three council seats in November, the Port Huron Times Herald reported. When the forum’s moderator raised a question about boosting the city’s diversity — more than 95 percent of its 10,000 or so residents are white, according to 2010 Census data — candidate Jean Cramer’s response confounded her peers.
