A lib buddy of mine called me and told me to turn on MTV. John Edwards was taking questions from young students. I wasn't but half way paying attention when I heard a young lady ask him something about his solution for inner city crime. Edwards said something like we can't build enough prisons to hold all of the criminals or eventualy there will be no black people left because they would either be in jail or dead. I'm paraphrasing of course and I don't want to start something that's not accurate but if that is what he said that has got to be either one of the most racist or stupidest things I've ever heard a politician say. Did anyone else hear it?
Yep— he said it.
Someone needs to save that to their pc in case it magically disappears.
I hope this link works.
Watch it at #31.
Well done, Lil’ Bro, your Buckhead Moment has come.
I wonder how someone can download that stream. It sure won’t be there long.
BUMP!
Oh, my!
LOL! He said it. Good job.
just heard it ..thanks for the link
has anyone sent this to michelle or to fox?
Thanks for posting this here, otherwise most of us would have never seen it.
Maybe the Admins could update the title of your thread to add that there’s video in post #31?
Thanks.
I wish Hillary was that stupid.
What’s most funny is that the brain-dead audience just accept it as gospel, there’s even some little trollip writing notes. Not a single brow raised.
Thanks for the help
Wonderful idea
Thank you
Chill... It’s not as if a Republican said it.
Don’t bet on that! The machine will erase this from the consciousness of the nation, unless someone has some room on a hard drive someplace.
YUP, he said of young black males “pretty soon.... they’re all gonna be in prison, or dead.”
He will try to spin and say he was describing the result of eviiiillll Republican policies, and how terrible American racist society is, but that’s what HE said about the future! He’s toast, crispy burnt toast.
Unfortunately, that will only make the wide open road even easier for Shrillery through the primaries....
I know, the whole audiance is just in a big duh moment that just does not stop! They had no idea let alone a clue of what he just said to them.
It was hyperbole. Not literal. It was meant to make Blacks feel as though if the White power structure had it’s way all Blacks would either be dead or in jail. It wasn’t meant to make it sound like every Black deserved to be dead or in jail, and I wouldn’t take it that way. What’s ridiculous is that Blacks themselves are in positions of power in a lot of places yet we’re supposed to keep on believing that Whites run everything so when anything goes wrong it’s their fault.
