Perhaps Democratic gubernatorial candidate Farouk Shami just wanted to steal the spotlight back from Debra Medina. If so, the hair care magnate who wants to be governor chose one heck of a way to get attention, outdoing Medina on the 9/11 front and throwing in some offensive comments about race for good measure.
Earlier today, Shami taped an interview that will air Sunday on WFAA's Inside Texas Politics. The first-time candidate talked about why he hires mostly Hispanics and blacks to work in his factories.
"I find 80 percent of my employees at the factory are Hispanics," Shami said. "I don't find, you know, many white people really willing to work, you know, unfortunately."..
..."Would we ever find the truth about 9/11? That's a very dangerous subject to get into," Shami said. "You know so it's hard to make judgment. I'm not saying yes or no, because I don't know the truth."

No pictures of this whack-job? Yeah, you’re probably right Farouk! Thank goodness for blacks and Mexicans. Whites haven’t done an honest days work in the United States for 250 years! All of the inventions, the creations, the construction, the innovation...hell, the very existence of the nation itself, all fueled by the work of blacks and Mexicans. I guess that’s why so many are on the dole today. They’re all plum tuckered out!!
Shamwow’s a nut. He’ll win this battle.
Note the scarf. It has "Palestine" on one side and "Jerusalem is Ours" on the other and displays the Dome of the Rock mosque.
There are 10 Democrats running for governor. The media selected the kook who’d make White look sane by comparison.
And White is running againt Perry, not Media, Kay, or Farouk.
Kinky sold out to Jim Hightower and dropped out of the race where he would have actually posed a challenge to White.
I’m not sure why anyone ever thought Kinky was an alternative for us. The guy is borderline Marxist.
I didn’t say he was an alternative to the Republicans, I said that he posed a challenge to White. Shami just gives the media an excuse to give White free airtime during the primary. Without a challenger, there is no debate. And Shami poses no challenge to White’s policies or Democrat votes.
“The guy is borderline Marxist.”
I agree wholeheartedly. I should have used sarc tags.
Perhaps Biden should come down and campaign for him!
Lends knew meaning to “Sham Wow!”
Is it Farouk “Sirhan Sirhan” Shami or Farouk “F u Crackers” Shami? How’d the primary go?
“There is always Kinky.”
Why the heck not?
