2016 Presidential Candidates: Jeb Bush Talks About Discrimination of 'Dark-Skinned' Son
Latin Post ^ | 7/28/15 | Selena Hill

Unlike 2016 GOP presidential frontrunner Donald Trump, who has condemned Latino immigrants, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush has taken a starkly different approach in his presidential campaign by actively trying to reach out and embrace the Latino community.

In an interview with Telemundo, Bush opened up about the discrimination that his half-Hispanic son, Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush, experienced as a child due to his olive complexion. According to the 2016 hopeful, who is fluent in Spanish and married to a Mexican woman named Columba, his son faced teasing because of his skin color.

"I know your three sons are bilingual. Were there times when they were younger where they were targeted either because of the color of their skin or their accent?" Telemundo's José Diaz-Balart asked the former Florida governor, according to The Miami Herald. "And as a father how did you talk to them when they would tell you that they were laughed at because of their accent or the color of their skin?"

"I remember there was a time when my son went to Ocala to play baseball, a game on a team. And the team was a Miami team, the majority were Hispanics. My son George, he's dark-skinned," said Bush while speaking in Spanish during a visit to Puerto Rico. "And they spoke horrible things about those from Miami. And naturally I had to explain or describe that people who hate are not the majority, and we just accept them and move forward. Because he was quite upset. Because he and his friends never -- since we live in Miami, we don't have a problem. But in other parts of the country, it exists."

"It's a good lesson to learn, to always remember that we still don't have a country that's full justice for all,"

Maybe Jeb’s son can start dating Rachael Dolezal.

Such a stupid, evil man. As if all children aren’t teased by other immature children.....Hey, dummy Bush———definition of child = “immature”. That is why the evil Common Core and Prussian system of mass “group think” is so EVIL——it destroys VIRTUE in children intentionally and prevents children from becoming mature and critical thinkers.

All children have to LEARN to be VIRTUOUS and they ONLY do it with Classical Education and Christianity—— and that habituation of LOVE of all of God’s children. Your continual promotion of puerile hate and division is very Marxist and unChristian.

This man is a pseudo-Christian......a pure Marxist useful idiot.

Such an evil, godless sodomite, and like sodomites like his daddy, will use their children to promote their irrational vile religion of Marxism/slavery/sodomy (Emasculation/Libido Dominandi—bribery and control of others in secret societies).

All for their NWO, that daddy bush so carelessly announced when President.
