Jeb Bush recalls 'dark-skinned' son's experience with discrimination
Tampa Bay Times ^ | 7/28/15 | PATRICIA MAZZEI

There are some things Jeb Bush seems more comfortable saying in Spanish.

n his second language, the one he polished to woo his Mexican-born wife, Bush has more than once opened up in interviews in ways he has not yet in English.

That may have to do with the questions Bush, an honorary Cuban American, gets asked in Spanish versus the ones he gets asked in English. But whether it's because of Bush or because of the interviewers, the former Florida governor has expressed himself in more personal terms en español.

In Puerto Rico earlier this year, Bush's answer to whether he'd attend a same-sex wedding -- "Claro que sí" -- was far warmer in Spanish than in English. Earlier Monday, he said in Spanish that he had been "hurt" by Donald Trump's comments about Mexicans.

And in the same interview with Telemundo's José Diaz-Balart, Bush opened up about a time one of his sons, now-Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush, faced teasing because of the color of his skin.

Really, the more I learn about Jeb, the more I think he’s simply a one-track-mind dunderhead who is not all that interested in running, but he’s had his pea-brain stuffed with Karl Rove insisting “we’re the only candidate who can get the Latino vote and that’s how we win” over and over to the point where his own weakness of mind is letting Rove influence him to run, so that Rove et al can gather campaign money. Rove doesn’t really want to win. He’s happier gathering money and he understands that this is his last shot. It’s a pathetic little game of Kabuki theater that completely ignores the deleterious effect on the party and the country. Sick, despicable.

He needs to take a paternity test. His “dark skinned” son looks like Pedro just might be his daddy.

“A multimillionaire’s son has one moment where he ‘feels’ bad because of a slight (very slight) disadvantage. I’ll bet there’s hundreds of thousands of kids who wish that had it that ‘rough’...”

Wait a minute, isn’t that sufficient justification for allowing the country to be turned into a pile of manure? Where’s your humanity?

As a white working class American citizen, I have been discriminated against by the Bush family on numerous occasions.

My son is blond, good looking, athletic, muscular, and 13. He has lost some friends over jealous comments and rumors. Probably for the best I told him because you know who your friends are. We work out together, at his request.
So Jeb, take your crying a go away!

....”Jeb not all that interested in running”....

I think he's purposely sabotaging his own run for that very reason.

There are many things Jeb Bush will NEVER do:

1) Show more courage than he showed when he murdered Terri Schiavo.

2) End the Federal Reserve’s fiat toilet paper, and restore the Gold Standard.

3) Propose repeal of the 16th and 17th amendments.

4) Attack Cultural Marxism.

5) Prosecute Obama for fraud and treason, outlaw the Democrat (Communist) party.

Sorry Jeb - white guilt is a turn-off.

He has clearly taken lessons on pandering from the left.

It’s a hard concept to wrap your mind around, that there are Republicans at least as evil as democrats and possibly even more so.

I just view it as a grifter-elite class of partyless opportunists. They see a dying country and like buzzards, seek to get the last scrap of meat on the bone they can. It’s why the Clinton’s will sell missile secrets to the CHiComs and uranium production to the Russians and manpads to the Libyans and/or Al Queda. It is nationless. It is the process of placing themselves in the flow of funds from point A to point B and working to divert what they view as their share. Propriety does not exist. There is no loyalty to a nation. That nonsense got washed away long ago. They believe themselves above the law and immune from prosecutorial reach. Largely, they are right.

Oh, bs. My son is as dark as his and the boy wouldn’t know discrimination if it slapped him. He is a good, smart kid with a Hispanic mom.

Big deal. Jeb,go suck an egg.

As a restaurant waiter, he has faced poor tipping from blacks, but even his fellow black coworkers can not stand getting black tables. That said, his best gratuity ever was from a nice black family.

Go figure.

Your description of these villains and brigands is spot on.
