Miller, however, suggested low turnout among black people could be connected to culture. “I don’t think that’s part of the way they’re raised,” she said. “For us, I mean, that was something we all did in our families, we all voted.”

Miller also dismissed the racial tensions of the 1960s, when she said she graduated from high school. “Growing up as a kid, there was no racism, believe me. We were just all kids going to school.”

Asked about segregation and the civil rights movement, she replied: “I never experienced it. I never saw that as anything.”

Miller added: “I don’t think there was any racism until Obama got elected. We never had problems like this ... Now, with the people with the guns, and shooting up neighborhoods, and not being responsible citizens, that’s a big change, and I think that’s the philosophy that Obama has perpetuated on America.”

Miller dismissed the suggestion that Trump was exploiting racist or prejudiced views among some voters as “the media making stuff up”. Instead, she said of the Republican nominee: “He’s very willing to talk about issues that have never been discussed publicly.”

When it was pointed out that some people might find her remarks offensive, Miller replied: “I don’t care, it’s the truth.”

Like their Führer, Trump supporters love to play fast and loose with the truth.

 

[Servbot24]

Trump campaign continues to walk the line between delusional and evil.

 

[FrontalMonk]

White lady in the midwest didn't experience racism in the 60's. News at 11?

Maybe she didn't see the first black family move in to the neighborhood until 2008.

 

[NoblesseOblige]

Obama created racism when he did 9/11.

 

[Condom]

D E L U S I O N A L

No other words. Utterly delusional.

[Sho_Nuff82]

Nice of Trump to find at least anecdote from a black suppo...

Kathy Miller, who is white and chair of the Republican nominee’s campaign in Mahoning County,

Oh. Nothing to see here folks.

 

[BY2K]

Reminds me of that one guy that said 9/11 was Obama's fault.

 

[kswiston]

Obama's worst act as President was time travelling back to 1969 to start the Detroit Riots.

THEY did though. THEY. THEM.

I'd say she needs to be called out and dragged over the coals for this, but who am I kidding with our media.

 

[Darryl M R]

This guy is a basket of something.

Thanks Obama.

 

[Permanently A]

Thanks, Obama.

Actually, that photo was taken last week at a Hillary Clinton rally.

[WedgeX]

Well that's dumb.

 

[Derwind]

Racism like a vampire, it can only enter if you let it in.

Thanks Barackula.. /s

Clearly shopped:

So now offering free baths to the public is racist? I guess it's true, no good deed goes unpunished.

She's right. There probably was no racism at her school.

There probably weren't any minorities either. I wonder if those two things were connected at all.

 

[SpaceWolf]

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if one of these days we get a Trump supporter who genuinely believes Obama was responsible for the American Civil war.

 

[Newt]

Obama was pretty much responsible for both world wars.

 

[Lunar15]

The sad thing is that this isn't the first time I've heard this.

I know one man who believes that "America was on the path to recovering from racism, but then Obama had to go and help out his "college buddy", sending the wrong message to black americans.", Specifically referring to the Henry Gates incident.

 

[zethren]

I'd love to get to the bottom of this.

 

[Do Better]

Shut up, lady.

 

[SenjutsuSage]

Clearly shopped:

Trump will say back then we cared enough about black people to make sure they never caught on fire.. except when people were burning down black churches. But that was because the buildings didn't meet safety standards, so that in itself was also an attempt to protect black people. Nobody suspected that there was a chance any black people would actually be inside while they burned them. An honest mistake, clearly.

I'll never understand why Obama doesn't use his time travel powers for good! I want to know why he never shot Hitler. Tell me that, Obama!

 

[Zach]

I really hope sanity prevails this election. Jesus Christ, America.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Obama why did you enslave a race of people and force them to build the entire foundation of this country?

Why would you do this Obama?

 

[Karkador]

This is really not any better than denying the holocaust

 

[RPGCrazied]

Its like everyone associated with Trump has an IQ of a pateto. Do they not remember uh, fucking slavery?

Quit blaming Obama for everything, all that is doing is making you seem dumber than you already are.

 

[theWB27]

I would fcking hate for my brain to work like this. Just to be able to completely dismiss facts because "that's what I think."

 

[Savitar]

Living in their own bubble indeed.

 

[SaganIsGOAT]

Some serious false memory bullshit going on in this election. People are fucking confused about reality.

 

[diablos991]

Somebody is getting fired.

 

[Saiyu]

 

[fallengorn]

What the fuck... How deep in a hole must you be in, to have lived through the 60s and say that? How god damn myopic is your world view? Jesus. Read a fucking paper lady.

 

[Enzom21]

So is she saying that white people weren't racist before Obama was elected and now they are? Obama's presidency did bring out the true colors of some people.
Based on her belief that there was no racism in the 60's she's talking about racism directed at white people.

 

[RDreamer]

Holy fucking shit. This person should be fired immediately and publicly ridiculed beyond belief.

 

[acohrs]

if trump does get elected, how long will his republican fanatics swallow his constant excuse of 'thanks obama!'? a month? 2? first year?

 

[SliceSabre]

I swear they will be blaming him for 9-11 soon.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Obama was pretty much responsible for both world wars.

Don't forget that Hillary Clinton was the MVP both times.

 

[acohrs]

I swear they will be blaming him for 9-11 soon.

didn't some already claim he was tied to osama bin laden because osama is only 1 letter away from being obama?

 

[VeryGooster]

 

[jmood88]

She's just a Daily Show plant.

 

[Savitar]

I swear they will be blaming him for 9-11 soon.

They already have.

 

[SaganIsGOAT]

I swear they will be blaming him for 9-11 soon.

Unfortunately people already have

 

[HeisenbergLannister]

"I never saw it so it doesn't exist"

Yet they believe in God.

 

[Alcotholic]

Thanks Obama!
