This year’s RNC may be a grand old segregated party.

Republican National Convention organizers are scrambling to replace signs labeling a bank of elevators the “white elevators.”

The Jim Crow-esque signs were seen in Cleveland’s Quicken Loans Arena, where thousands of Republican delegates, politicians and supporters are expected to formally nominate bombastic businessman Donald Trump as their party’s presidential pick this week.

Can the media and Democrats actually be this stupid?

Effing racist media.

No, they're hoping the majority of the voters are.

They may be right about that. I expect this piece to be widely circulated on social media.

They should change the sign to read “RACISTS” elevator to remove all doubt (sarc).

Only if you’re looking for trouble. Red white blue elevators is as benign as it gets.

Wasn’t it the Democrat Party that wrote and enforced the Jim Crow Laws? Wasn’t it the Republicans who passed the Civil rights act?

I find it interesting that they do not tell the entire story, that there are other banks of elevators that are being distinguished in some other manner, such as blue and red.

No, the media and Democrats are not stupid. They know there are a vast number of citizens that are though. So play the racial aspect, of which of course there is none, to sway voters away from Trump to Hillary.

They better have red, white and blue staircases or they’re discriminating against the able bodied.

Next they’ll be demanding the white stripes and stars be removed from the flag. Can’t have the red stripes, either. We should only fly clear plastic flags.

You can’t breathe these days without some whiny being offended.

People who think skin color is the most important thing about an individual will think a sign that says “white” is about skin color.

That idea won’t occur with someone who doesn’t care about an individual’s skin color.

Which of those groups is “racist”?
