They just can't help themselves. So much for the 'kinder gentler more presidential' Trump campaign. They couldn't keep that up for 24 hours.

(SNIP)

“It doesn’t matter what kind of person is the exterminator, they want the raccoons out of the basement,” he declared.

Of course black people are the only ones in the history of the world that were ever hung. They were also the only ones in the history of the world that were ever slaves. (sarc)

All hail the Zot, In-finite!

ZOT me baby, ZOT me baby, all night long!

That could very well have been how my Irish ancestors came to America.

I hated them when I worked in NYC. not as common as one thinks, but one is too many to see.

Never saw one on Staten Island.

Very likely.

The second wave was the potato famine.

My kin came on the Cromwell Cruise Line.

what a Disgusting article.

I read a lot of history and NEVER knew this.

why doesn’t someone throw this in the face of blacks when they talk about slaves?

never heard it once.

Boy, England had some screws loose for a lot of years.

Lots of Irish out here. Good, though folk.

I’m a Cruz man - but yes - not sure where this is racist. A friend is a firefighter. He got called in to a house and there were three raccoons that were in the living room (from the Chimney).

Looking back he said “We should have just left the doors open I guess and they would have wandered out. But the lady was hysterical and the guys were chasing them all over trying to catch them. Stuffed chairs and the couch and the draperies were in shreds by the time we left.”

Hmm. There is probably a political metaphor in there as well. I suppose - do you want the guy that will just leave the doors open with the food waiting for them on the outside and things will take their course naturally, or the guy that will chase them all over and destroy crap.

I imagine it can be debated on which guy is which. Although obama is definitely the destroyer “Rebuild on a new foundation” means you have to take the old one out first. Hillary or Bernie will be sure to knock down a few more rows.

I’ve forgotten, when was the wave that came from the potato famine? My Irish ancestors settled in Appalachian Mountains and were Scots-Irish. Wish I had more time to work on family genealogy. Will get it done one day.

“That’s a trigger.”

Hey - that rhymes with ...

Anyway. When I first saw the headline and then the photo, I thought the comment was about the gentleman behind Trump with the dark bags under his eyes. It looks like he hasn’t gotten much sleep on the campaign trail.

Scots-Irish is actually used to describe the Ulster Irish, of which I am one.

But did the coon “racial slur” come from raccoon?

Wiki under racial slur:

Coon—(US, UK) a black person. Possibly from Portuguese barracão or Spanish barracón, a large building constructed to hold merchandise, where slaves were kept for sale, anglicised to barracoon (1837).[77][78] Popularized by the song “Zip Coon”, played at Minstrel shows in the 1830s.
