‘Racist’ flyer may cost Doug Jones big in AL
media equalizer ^ | 12/7/2017 | Kyle Edison

The Doug Jones for Senate Committee thought that circulating a racially charged flyer was a good way to win the black vote in Alabama in the upcoming special election against Judge Roy Moore. The move backfired.

The flyer has been making the rounds on social media. It 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. The answer to the question is ‘maybe,’ but that’s not the point. Multiple people who got the flyer posted photos of it on Twitter. Some condemned it as out of touch and insensitive.

Huntsville television station WHNT reported that the Jones campaign confirmed they sent out the flyers.

Michael Harriot at TheRoot.com, a site that covers black culture, 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.

The flyer was meant as a reference to the multiple women alleging Moore pursued relationships with them as teenagers when he was in his 30s. He has denied the accusations.

Black voters will play a huge role in upcoming elections; they essentially voted President Obama into office in 2008 and 2012. The Democrat party cannot afford to alienate black constituents, but they just did.

Black voters were never treated worse then during the eight year of Barack Hussein Obama. They were openly exposed to uncontrolled crime, murders, drugs, Black on Black killings, child abortions, low paying jobs and no job opportunities, little freedom and liberty of real value, they were locked into big city ghetto plantations set up by Obama, the CBC, the NAACP and the entire Democrat Party.

You would have thought they would have wised up, by now, and get it. They are used, abused, treated like sheep on the public dole, with the only concern is they give their votes to the scum and vermin of the Democrat Party. Go figure?

Actually the best friend and ally they have is not another Black person....but, none other then our present POTUS, Donald J. Trump!!! Be not fooled Black brothers & sisters by a media & politicians, that only wants to control you 100%. POTUS, Trump is in your corner...your station in life with him as POTUS is getting better with every passing day. Vote Moore...Support POTUS, Trump...MAGA for everyone!!!

When Thug Jones loses, there will be no surprise, just fake outrage from partisan media shills. If he were to win, the question from *everyone outside of Alabama* would be, how did he manage that?!? :^) Thanks Signalman.

This flyer is contrary to everything Alinsky taught. Can’t blame Saul for this one.

Try stupidity.

The Sun morning blab shows had the ad on.

For ‘discussion’, of course.

But a lot of Free campaigning.

Ha Ha backfire.

Good

“They haven’t realized Blacks are leaving the plantation.”

Slowly but surely.

I wish it were speeded up.

Did the racist ads cost the Democrat in the Virginia governor’s race last month as so many here were sure that they would

Unfortunately, VA is now blue in statewide elections. Alabama is not.

His supporting “Pac” was bad with voter intimidation. “Highway 31”.

I spent my career in the construction business. Every minority business program targeted to Blacks was destroyed by the forceful migration of Muslims and Hispanics.

The Hispanics especially were used as second class slave labor by the free labor express. It undercut all the start-up minority owned businesses and they died a decade ago.

We have been trying to figure out that group. They are hiding themselves behind a PO Box at a UPS store. Their ads have been nothing but slander.

Even their names wreaks of outsiders. Other than the highway going through the state, an Alabamian would have been a little more creative.
