D-Money, Smoothie, and Shifty, and (R) Gov LePage

Some racial stereotypes never die.

IMO, the part about impregnating white girls is more offensive than the names.

People can whine about the names all they want, but the names are true...and they don't just apply to one race.

Both aspects of his statement are very bad and throwbacks to old stereotypes, but you're right, the impregnating white girls shows where this guy is coming from with his statement.

We still have a long ways to go. My use of "we" is meant to be collective and representative of our entire country.

I saw those remarks and the first thing I thought was that he might have a drinking problem.
As I have said before, the North is more racist than the South, in my opinion.

This guy is a Republican, not a liberal. The north has more liberals and in general, liberals are (supposedly) less racist than conservatives (in general).

Here we go again.

Robert KKK Bryd would say hello, but he's dust. There are a ton of racist liberals. Ask Clarence Thomas, Allen West, Condi Rice, Mia Love and other conservative blacks who were racially attacked by liberals, mostly black liberals.

So the notion that liberals are "less" racist is patently false and absurd.

Did I say all Republicans?

Did I not start a thread about what has been going on in Chicago?

The fact of the matter is that this guy IS a Republican.

I would agree that is the media narrative, but it does not fit my experience.

Nope, but nothing was said of partisan politics to begin with. And yes, you constantly drone on about how racist the GOP is.

Your post about Chicago was about police, not politics.
