Broward County Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes thinks racism was 'probably' a factor in the backlash against her for the South Florida office missing Thursday's recount deadline in a Senate race. As about two dozen protesters stood outside her headquarters Friday, including Bikers For Trump, Snipes, who is black, admitted she thought the criticism may have been amplified because of her race. When asked specifically if she believed her heritage could be playing a part in the hostile response she declined to elaborate but told the Guardian, 'Probably. Probably'.

It isn't racism Brenda.

You are simply a stupid black woman.

If you were any other color, you would still be stupid.

So somehow my alleged racism causes her incompetence? I would love to see the math on that one.

Better yet, draw me a picture so there is no confusion.

what stupid liberal mother @##$er reporter ASKED her such a stupid question??!?!!?

Likely some white #### who lives MILES from the nearest black and who uses the word n###### FIVE HUNDRED times a day in his house.

Because it’s what they do and who they are.

There’s an odd piece of the history for Snipes. She was hired in 2003 (was a principal in the local school district). In 2004, they held an election and 58,000 absentee ballot disappeared. A lot of hype came up over that event. The Post Office folks said that they never came into the regional office. But no investigation ever cleared up the matter...the 58,000 just disappeared.

No one ever suggested she was the person behind those votes lost, but it’s odd now to look over the event and that no one ever got fired or the lost votes settled.

Because demanding the Supervisor of Elections be competent enough to deliver election results with integrity is a racist thing.

Nobody ever got fired or investigated because they are all in on it.

Standard reply to correct accusation that the person is quite simply a dumbass.

Nothing to do with race. Dumbassedness comes easily to every progressive regardless of race, creed, or color.

From another poster yesterday:

Boss: “You’re fired.”
Employee: “You only firing me cause I’m Black!”

Boss: “No, we only hired you because you’re Black, we’re firing you because you’re worthless...”

How about incompetence was probably more of a factor. The US is not a racist country, not anymore.

So she was a school administrator? That explains it. Not hired or advanced on the basis of skill.

“Racism” definitely played a part in it...

Snipes wanted the black guy (Gillem) to win, and the white guy, (DeSantis), to lose

That’s the TRUE RACISM in all this mess...and SHE knows it, and is trying to pull the ol’ “blame reversal” on it.
