A Republican candidate for mayor in Florida is facing scrutiny for telling the supporters of his opponent to “go back to Africa” during a debate Tuesday, The Washington Post reported Wednesday.

Paul Congemi, a white man who is in the mayoral race for St. Petersburg, fired back at his white campaign opponent Jesse Nevel, who centered his campaign on calling for government reparations for African-Americans.

“The reparations that you talk about, Mr. Nevel, your people already got your reparations. Your reparations came in the form of a man named Barack Obama

My money is on “landslide” Paul Congemi. White people are fed up with democrat Nazis calling them racists for no reason.

“This sort of thing needs to be said.

Don’t like it here? Get the hell out.”

Amen.

FR is infested with a small clique of wimps, hand-wringers and weenies who tremble and surrender whenever a leftist calls them names.

I'm sorry, but blacks have been paid reparations in spades.

Free education, subsidized housing, food, healthcare.

There are more middle-class and millionaire blacks here in American than the rest of the world combined.

Not to mention the freedom to do what they please where in other countries they'd get jailed or worse.

What more do they want?

Thanks for your honesty. I agree with you one hundred %. Political correctness and assimilation will not help us. The basic morals of our culture are being destroyed and replaced by muslum marxist animals. They should be sent back.

So white people who were never slave owners should give money to people who were never slaves. Over slavery. Right.

I’d say we all deserve reparations for suffering during The Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama.

Though we can never, EVER, regain the years lost suffering under his lying, fraudulent, corrupt administration.

Democrats want people to be part-time slaves, the bigger the part the better.

Talking with my haircutter today, I learned that she originally got a degree in business and then trained to be a nurse. She quit nursing because she couldn’t stand “bodily fluids” and eventually became a (very good) haircutter. She said her mother believed in education and brought her up with a “standard American” accent.

The haircutter said she didn’t learn Ebonics until she was an adult.
