According to a report from the Detroit News, a far-right conservative radio host who is running for a seat in the state Senate as a Democrat, recently told listeners that he thinks families should be all white.


Last week "Trucker Randy" Bishop, who previously chaired the Antrim County Republican Party filed to run for a seat representing the 37th state Senate District as a Democrat.
That in turn has led to scrutiny of his radio rants, one of which in particular where he complained about how mixed families in commercials upset him.
As Craig Mauger of the Detroit News wrote, "Bishop, who goes by 'Trucker Randy,' made the comments on his March 31 show, according to a podcast that was still available."

According to the report, Bishop told his followers, "Can't even watch a college basketball tournament without commercials telling me I have to feel guilty because I think a family should be a White mom, a White dad and White kids. They want us to die and go away. And they're going to try to do it through politics this year. Well, we have got to be just as smart."

Bishop also complained about reports of conservative efforts to keep Black Americans from voting, asking his audience, " "Why are we talking so much about voter suppression. ... Black people not being allowed to vote?"

What is it with the Mountain Man beards? It's like they got that guy outa some cave.
 
I think you may find there is another point...and that would be that there are a lot of people that are opposed to mixed race marriages (I'm not). If Im reading his comment correctly, what he said was not that the ONLY families should be white families...but that families should be of the same race.


At the end of the day, you will find a significant number of people of all races...especially mid to older generations...that are opposed to mixed race marriages. I cant imagine anyone would find that shocking (again...not something they have to agree with...but not shocking). This particular individual voiced his opinion.
Education is a factor although not in the direction that one might assume.


Black women outnumber black men and are less likely both to marry and to marry outside their race, and I think it's a little naive not to look at their reasons for resenting mixed-race marriages. And many do. https://news.wttw.com/2019/04/17/sociologist-cheryl-judice-interracial-relationships
 
I am dissatisfied with Biden on several issues. That doesn’t mean I regret voting for him over Loser #45. If keeping the treasonous former president out of office meant I’d have to vote for Biden again, today, I’d do so in a heartbeat. So would a great many other Americans.
100%, I’m so frustrated with partisan hacks assuming because I voted for Biden I think he’s doing a great job or because I don’t think he’s doing a great job I’m a Trumpist. Many have become so polarized they’ve become brain dead.

Indeed.
 
I expect one of four responses to this:

1. The “why are we talking about this” response e.g. @Mycroft response we have already seen

2. The tangent… steer the discussion toward Biden, liberals, immigrants, Hunter… really anything will do. We have seen this already with @The flaming lib

3. Outright defense e.g. white families are better

4. The “it was just a joke” / “he was actually talking about something completely different and innocent” response.

What we are less likely to see is “this guy is a terrible reflection of conservatives and should be kicked out of the GOP” which of course is the right answer.
The article cited in the OP says he is running for the state seat as a democrat.

Does he not enjoy the freedoms of America too?
 
Idiot will probably get some votes
Trump will endorse him and then claim that he isn't racist.


Why would anyone vote for someone who doesn't understand the 15th Amendment, which was passed in 1870?
Passed by Congress February 26, 1869, and ratified February 3, 1870, the 15th Amendment granted African American men the right to vote.

Reading is fundamental,

a far-right conservative radio host who is running for a seat in the state Senate as a Democrat, recently told listeners that he thinks families should be all white.

When did Democrats become far-right conservatives? He is pandering to r the racist Dixiecrats that have not existed since the 1950s.
 
Trump will endorse him and then claim that he isn't racist.
He's running as a Dem. Just drumming up customers for his radio show

Democrats aren't going to listen to that nonensee. They didn't even listen to Air America, which was a liberal talk radio network. I have a limit of about 90 minutes of listening to NPR/BBC.

Some people are gonna perk up, hearing that garbage. He's gonna make some headlines. Who ever heard of Trucker Randy? Well, that's gonna change.
 
My guess is this is all just some stupid stunt. Some radio host declares himself a democrat to run for state senate then says some outrageous crap. If I had to take a guess I suspect this is some experiment for his radio show on how someone’s political affiliation determines how they are covered in the media. The prick is looking for a rise and got what he wanted
