Some people also seem to think that the Civil Rights movement was during the 1860's and emancipation happened in the 1500's.

Yeah, funny how anyone associated with his campaign that says stupid shit like this seems to immediately get fired/resign, but Trump just keeps on trucking.

There was actually a big thread on GAF once where a guy denied the existence of the slave trade because we didn't have any boats left or something crazy.

So she's saying the campaign shouldn't be accountable for something a volunteer says, no matter how horrible and racist it is...
Hmmmm.... where have I heard the complete opposite of this in the last few days, particularly about the Hillary 2008 campaign and birtherism? hmmmm

While racial tensions are certainly high at the moment, it's incredulous that someone would make this statement, in a nation where slavery was once legal, and where for a century after slavery was abolished we segregated blacks from whites.
But of course Trump followers will soak this up.

There's a spectrum that varies throughout the rural state for sure. SE Ohio is basically West Virginia or Eastern Kentucky, so that's pretty much pure Appalachia, and racism is really strong in Appalachia.

This isn't just a Trump supporter thing, this is a Republican thing, a Tea Party thing, etc etc... She may have taken the sentiment to the illogical conclusion, but these racism is dead loons, or Obama has made racial relations worse fuckos has been widespread for awhile now.
So, basically, they should all resign for stoking these fires.

Legit surprised at this.
On the other hand, the other campaign chair that said Hillary should be shot in a firing squad is still gainfully employed.

They're still engaging in black outreach, so at the moment, this is unacceptable. Fuck Hillary tho.

It all started when Obama invented black-on-black violence.

And her resignation statement doesn't even retract any of what she said.
Was she really an official elector for Ohio?

The party chooses electors. Let's leave it at that...
I should've added she probably knows no black people and has never lived near them and hasn't had to think about them or the issues they face until Obama. Out of sight, Out of mind I guess.
I think she's just a chair person for the Trump campaign. Its not an elected position. She was probably given it because no one else wanted it honestly.
Vote for the Green party if you want Holocaust denial.
They hide or pretend they are voting 3rd party. You'll see them in other threads clamoring about their gun rights or money in politics and not giving two shits about anything else including the racism surround this campaign. They don't care. Not their problem.

That's terrifying
I only asked as her resignation statement said "I have resigned as the volunteer campaign chair in Mahoning County and as an elector to the Electoral College to avoid any unnecessary distractions."
It really sounds like this individual that this thread was made for was part of the electoral college to decide the next president. Now granted all but I think 2 states do winner takes all electoral wise [I.E. the candidate who gets popular vote of the state gets all the electoral votes] and Ohio isn't one of the exceptions but it's still scary to think about.
They were teaching a savage people the ways of civilized life. Gave them free food and board, all they asked for in return was a little help around the house.
Deal of a lifetime.
I didn't have any black kids in my class.

She was an elector for Trump. If Hillary wins Ohio she would not have been sent to cast her vote in the EC.

Bye bye. No one is gonna miss your ignorant ass.
The proliferation of social media was still in its infancy, so if you weren't affected by racism (being white), you probably didn't notice or were aware of it in every day life. Also, super shocked she's unaware of Rodney King and MLK and Malcolm X and well...the past several hundred years tbh. Then again, blaming a black man for inventing racism seems like something the Trump campaign and its supporters would believe.

It's higher than that, bizarrely. But still single-digits in almost all polling.
Thanks, Obama

How do you get into politics without even knowing what slavery was
Or does she think slavery wasn't racist?
