Republican convention joking that Republicans were, “happy to have a party with black people drowning.”
David Chalian, the now former head of Yahoo News’ DC bureau, was referring to the fact that the GOP was holding its convention while Hurricane Isaac headed for New Orleans, the same place Hurricane Katrina ravaged seven years ago with much of the damage disproportionately affecting poor minorities. Yahoo is covering the convention in a partnership with ABC News, and Chalian’s intended aside was accidentally picked up by a mic on the network’s coverage.
One wonders with the incredible speed of his firing whether the fact that - at least optically - what he said
appears to be completely true wasn't a factor?
I'm not saying that Republicans Hate Black people and wish to see them lose their homes and livelihood. No. They just Hate Democrats and since about 90% of the Black People in the Nation are Democrats since the passage of the Civil Right Act after Republican Presidential Nominee Barry Goldwater openly opposed it.
You think they've be used to reality that their disavow with Black People was pretty much mutual, with the False Welfare Ads and "Jokes about Birthcertificates" and what not.
Yeah, You'd think.
