Support NeoGAF

[NoName999]

A candidate for mayor in Charlotte, N.C., listed "white" among her qualifications in Facebook comments that have since been deleted.

The chairman of the North Carolina Republican Party rebuked Kimberley Paige Barnette, who has since apologized for her remarks.

"VOTE FOR ME!" Barnette, 53, wrote on her Facebook page, the Charlotte Observer reported.

"REPUBLICAN & SMART, WHITE, TRADITIONAL."

Robin Hayes, state GOP chairman, said in a statement the mayoral race will not be decided based on the skin color of any of the candidates.

"Any suggestion that a candidate is more or less qualified for political office based on their skin color alone is offensive to North Carolina Republicans, and we condemn it," Hayes told WRAL.

"This type of suggestion has no place in our public discourse."

This is the third most tone deaf thing I have ever heard in my life.

Give NeoGAF racial qualifications to join this site if old

Edit: Oh shit, can a mod move this to the OT? XD
