BIRMINGHAM, Ala. A racially charged campaign flyer sent to black residents in Alabamas Senate race is provoking a social media backlash for Democratic nominee Doug Jones, who is scrambling to mobilize black voters against Republican Roy Moore ahead of Tuesdays election.
The flyer, which has been circulating on social media and reportedly came from the Jones campaign, shows a young black man with a skeptical look on his face.
Think if a black man went after high school girls anyone would try to make him a senator? it reads.
Multiple people who received it have posted photos of the flyer on Twitter, with some condemning it as out of touch and insensitive.
Michael Harriot, a writer for TheRoot.com, an African-American culture website, wrote that it has upset black voters across Alabama.
Someone, probably a white man, thought that the image would resonate with black people and motivate them to get out the vote, he said.

To be honest, I think they are waking up to it now.
Employment is better than it was during Obama’s term in office. What more do you need to know?
Jobs talk!
This is hilarious - trying to patronize black voters and pizzing them off instead. I hope they turn out...for MOORE.
Heh.
Just killed his campaign.
What a maroon.
That smell, Mr. Jones, is what you just stepped in. And it’s going to linger. Why not have a noose hanging in the background? After all, it’s what Alabama Democrats used to rely on to “keep the n*****s in their place”.

Jumping the Shark
Desperation looks awesome on a Democrat.
They don’t care. They’ll vote DEM anyway.
Sadly.
But not because they care that Roy Moore might have dated legal aged teens. They just do what the master tells them to do.
Jones must resign!
A qualified Democrat must take his place on the ballot.
A qualified Democrat must announce a write-in candidacy.

Anyway....

His advisors are probably people that worked on Ralph Northam’s gubernatorial campaign in Virginia. It didn’t hurt Northam to run this type of campaign and I’m sure Jones thinks it will bring out the minority vote for him.
One day after Flake donates $100. Lol. Now hes supporting a racist
Judge Moore Ping!
Want on or off this ping list? Just drop me a FReep mail.
Nice roundup of the accusers and Judge Moore's responses.
Follow Judge Moore on Twitter.
Smells like Yertle’s style...McDaniel smear...
That’s my opinion also
New slogan/Sign. “I want Moore, not DougLess”
Steven Schmidt.
The last few weeks the Jones adds have become increasingly strident and using the accusations against Moore as if they contained irrefutable evidence. Last poll said 60% of white ladies of Alabama will vote for Moore. Jones is even running an add whining about how Moore is lying about him. Jones knows he is circling the drain.
Winning!
