Kathy Miller, the chair of the Mahoning County branch of the Trump campaign, is very annoyed at Barack Obama, our first black president, for inventing racism. In an interview with The Guardian , Miller explains that she never heard a DAMN THING about this "racism" stuff existing before he was president, including in the 1960s. Regarding the 1960s, she says "Growing up as a kid, there was no racism, believe me. We were just all kids going to school."
“Growing up as a kid, there was no racism, believe me. We were just all kids going to school.”
Guess she never heard of all those kids of a slightly darker skin tone who needed an armed escort by police or the national guard just to attend school in the totally "not racist" US.
Woke up in a weird world ... came to Wonkette for sanity.
Someone has probably already suggested this, but I bet Obama founded the KKK right after he got elected, as a trial run for founding ISIS. Lala.
And Mike Pence said the same thing as Ohio Trump Chair Lady, but in a kinder, gentler manner - http://www.politico.com/sto...
"Pence said there is too much talk of 'institutional racism and institutional bias' in the wake of unrest following police shootings in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Charlotte, North Carolina." At least he had the grace or shame not to say there's no problem -- just 'let's not make such a fuss ... it's divisive' ... I'm an OWM (old white male) raised racist in the South, so I will call him out -- that's a fucking racist thing to say, Mike. That could be the #1 example of 'racist dogwhistle' in Urban Dictionary, Mike.
... oh and only slightly OT ... that Tulsa officer who's charged with manslaughter for shooting Terence Crutcher "reacted unreasonably ... becoming emotionally involved to the point that she over reacted" according to the charging affadavit ... HAVE to wonder if the same wording would have been used if it were a male officer ...
I get the feeling that Barry Bamz was the first black individual she ever saw. Hmm. Let me amend that. Obama may have been the first black person with the power to break through the bubble she, and so many other people lacking darker pigment, created to isolate herself from 'people not like her'. As the saying goes, "There are none so blind as those who will not see." It certainly puts the lie to "With age comes wisdom."
I like to go by the television program approach. Any time you get a lot of "me too" show - real estate, gold, stocks - you can bet we're approaching a crash for that investment.
They don't call it the White House for nothing. Now Obama (thanks Obama!) went and screwed that up.Now he has all the blah's thinking they should be treated like a human being when walking, reading a book, car breaks down, or yes even committing a crime. What they want a trial like us white folks, huh, Miller?
My grandfather was a cop in Youngstown, Ohio when Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated. He had a National Guardsman with full gear (including hand grenades) riding with him.
From what I heard, she was forced to resign because she gave that interview to the Guardian, and she wasn't designated as a spokesperson for the Trump campaign.
If Don, Jr. had given that interview, everything would have been fine.
No Mr. Obama did not create Racism. Racism was, and is a part of Americans daily existence. The evils of overt Racism got highlighted, when Obama got elected, that is called displaced aggression. I think this poor woman should loose her Real Estate's License for being stupid.
She watches Fox News every morning before she prays to the Gods of foolishness. Poor soul, I hope someone give her hand across the street so she don't trip over her right foot.
If she's not my aunt, she's sure done her homework.

"I don’t think there was any racism until Obama got elected."
About as clear an admission as we're going to get regarding what fuels the Trumpers. Economic anxiety my ass.

I approve of this.

I go by what my dentist or barber is all fired up about. Which is probably just second-hand what's on the teevee.
