Mainstreaming racism.

During the debate last night old white republican men took to twitter to let their views known.

 "During the Democratic debate on Tuesday night, Mike Huckabee issued the following criticism of Senator Bernie Sanders:

'I trust @BernieSanders with my tax dollars like I trust a North Korean chef with my labrador!' #DemDebate

In response to criticism, he was unapologetic, claiming he was merely denouncing a “brutal dictatorship”:

Gov. Mike Huckabee

✔ @GovMikeHuckabee

Poor liberals think it's racist to deplore a brutal dictatorship. #DemDebate https://twitter.com/GovMikeHuckabee/status/654114071336189952 …"'

 

No, decent people just believe that it's racist and ignorant to disparage an entire race of people by implying that they all eat dogs.

 

Then there was this guy:

 

"While Randy Pullen has since returned to his role in the private sector as the Chairman and CEO of WageWatch.com after losing the primary race for State Treasurer in 2014, he still lists himself as the Arizona Republican Party State Chairman in his Linkedin profile. Someone should let him know about keeping his resume up to date, just in case.

It seems that even though Randy Pullen is no longer the State Chairman for Arizona Republicans, he must still think he is some sort of spokesman for the party. Last night during the Democratic Debate, Mr. Pullen took to Twitter to let everyone know how he felt about the debate, and it was pretty ugly.

" Randy Pullen @RPullen

Yes black lives matter. The best way to end the slaughter of young black men is to take guns away from blacks as they are the main killers.

Wow! The racism runs deep with some folks.

 

Let's just forget the facts on this subject and let our racism flag fly.  

 

Kind of like it does with Donald Trump's buddy, Craig Cobb.

 

"While recently doing a story about known White Supremacist Craig Cobb, ABC producer Jasmine Brown and anchor Byron Pitts were subject to hateful tirades and now the story has been brought to life through a produced video by timesXtwo.

 

The source of the rhetoric is hardly a surprise once you dig deeper into the man himself; after all, the video shows Cobb saying, “I’m one of the most famous racists in the world you son of a bitch.” Brown, who is African American, notes that Cobb seemed “incredibly gracious” when they first spoke on the phone, presumably before he knew her race.

 

“He is very much in love with Donald Trump,” adds Brown. She continues to describe a line of Cobb’s saying, “I would almost rather talk to a Jew, because then at least they would be intelligent.” The video reveals the emotional toll on Brown, a twenty-something Millennial, experiencing this level of overt racism for the first time.

 

 

But when anchor Byron Pitts gets Cobb on the phone, the heated rhetoric really takes a turn.

You’re not a person of color N*****! You’re a N*****! You got it? You’re a N*****!… Listen there’s an unbridled race war going on in this country Ann Coutler said there’s at least 30 million Mexicans in this country, Byron, and they don’t have any business here.

Well if he hadn’t won the argument with his n-word references, he certainly did it by invoking Ann Coulter."

 

One day, in the not too distant future, a main stream candidate from one of the major political parties will drop the N-word freely while on the campaign trail, and he will lead his opponents by double digits in the polls because of it. Wait.....
