Florida Democratic Party Chair: ‘They’re Like Children, These Black Lawmakers’
Washington Free Bacon ^ | 06/20/2017 | Conor Beck

Posted on 06/20/2017 2:34:17 PM PDT by ForYourChildren

Florida Democratic Party chairman Stephen Bittel is considering resigning following backlash from racially charged comments he made toward members of the legislative black caucus.

The tension started at a Saturday fundraiser for the Florida Democratic Party, the Miami Herald reports. Bittel shortened the program by removing a segment in which state legislators would be recognized.

Bittel referred to the anger from lawmakers over the snub as "childish." Bittel also said State Sen. Oscar Braynon (D.), a black legislator who expressed lawmakers' unhappiness to the chairman, was acting "like a three year old."

After the dinner, white State Sen. Lauren Book (D.) asked Bittel about the situation.

"They're like children, these black lawmakers. They just don't get it," Bittel said. "I raised more money in this amount of time than they ever could."

Most of today’s “men” don’t have them in the traditional sense.

At least he spoke the truth.

Whether or not he resigns, he spoke the truth for all to hear.

it now takes a beer. And maybe the girl is treating.

If that is what you are willing to settle for, go for it.

There are women out there who are not like that. You need to meet them.

It seems to me there are two different uses of the term, which are radically different.

1. I am racist.

2. I am a racist.

Here is what got Maher into trouble “I’m a house n**ger.”

Who are we to argue with his own self analysis and evaluation?

Get with the program. Anybody who knows me on here knows I’m married.

Not sure where you grasped that I was talking about myself.

But if it made you feel good :)

Because, whereas it took my pop going out in groups with my mother, then going out as two couples with her brother, to THEN going out alone, to getting engaged to getting married to sleep with a woman, it now takes a beer.

Yeah, but not just any old beer. It has to be one of those local custom brewed, phantasmagorically named 'hip' hop beers in a bottle.

Remember the good ole’ days when, if you wanted a sex change for free, you took out an Italian girl to an expensive restaurant and stiffed her with the check ?

I think the GOP has some opportunities in Florida. It has some very intelligent “Blacks” who should make good opponents to the “childish” Democrats that usually win in “Black” majority districts.
