GOP candidate tells story about confronting Black family at restaurant -- and prefaces it by saying 'my wife is Mexican'

[SNOWFLAKE]

Jason Woolford, a Republican Michigan state representative candidate, recently told a story about confronting a Black family in a Cracker Barrel about why they're wearing face masks during a deadly pandemic when Democrats are purportedly killing Black babies by supporting abortion rights.

In a video flagged by WCPT 820's Heartland Signal, Woolford recently told The Gray Area Podcast that he was baffled to see a Black family wearing masks when they were sitting down at a restaurant, and he decided to ask them about it.

But before that, he threw in a disclaimer to seemingly establish his anti-racist credentials.

"I want people to listen very carefully here so this isn't taken the wrong way," he said. "Let me preface the story to this -- my wife is Mexican."

Woolford then went on to say that he doesn't like designating people by their skin color, which he finds divisive. He then nonetheless said that it was a Black family who was wearing masks at the restaurant, and he took the opportunity to question them about why they might vote for Democrats.

"I told them. I said, 'Don't you find it ironic that the people that are telling you to wear this mask are the same people who go into your inner cities and slaughter the babies of Blacks and Hispanics?" he asked them, despite the fact that he did not know if this particular family actually live in an "inner city."

"Those are the same people who are telling you they care about you and are telling you to wear that mask!" he said.

Nah, the guy can't be racist, he has a Mexican wife, that proves it, right?

Honestly, how did the GOP openly embrace racism? It is such idiocy. But then again, they are the 'master' race with their beer bellies and incest. This nation needs a cull.

I'm not sure he's racist by those comments...

But I knows he's an idiot by bothering people with mask on if his story was true which I doubt.

OK.

You should hear some of the EXTREMELY racist things said about White people...said by actual sitting black members in the US Congress.
Plenty of racism to go around I guess.
Where does it end? It doesnt end, people will be beating their gums about skin color from now on in the USA is my guess.
The Race Hustlers wont ever let it die now, they're parasites and rely on that blood sucking.

Thats true, but just as bad is the DNC embrace of the domestic terror group of Bowel & Lower intestinal Movement...or "BLM" as its widely known.
IMO.
What kind of "culling" did you have in mind BTW?

Quite the rant. Please tell me, what racism have all the White people faced? Or do you mean prejudice?

I believe these "culling" "extinguishing" comments started to come full force after Biden's " unity " speech. They are mainly talking about the MAGA's

No more HungryMan's being allowed on wic or even being allowed to sell. Too much salt content and too much salt is harmful to synapses.

Nope. You conservatives were the first to suggest culling. You guys hate poc and anyone who isn't a conservative. You need to wake up and see that the power elite don't care about you and you will never rub shoulders with them either. Get your head out of your arse.

Would have been better if his wife instead was picking crops in Florida as Pelosi stated? Oh, you thought this post was a good idea ?.... LMAO

I'd call the manager and have the grossly uncivil customer thrown out.

That's the subject of another thread. One you started.

If you think your thread is being unjustly neglected, maybe it's the "LMAO" attitude?

Would you have done the same for Press SEC Sarah Sanders when her family was harassed and run out of a Mexican eatery? Just as the racist Maxine Waters instructed?

This reminds me of Hillary telling a reporter that she carries "hot sauce"

Well, MAGAts are indeed a clear and present danger, but then so are the Bowel & Lower intestinal Movement or "BLM" imo.
Whats a sane person to do?

Sure. The aggressor should always be the one to be denied service, though I understand it may be hard for the manager to decide who started it.

If she meant to imply that American imitations of Mexican food are light on the chilli, I don't really see what's racist about that. It's true, isn't it?

Or, poor kids are just as bright, just as talented, as white kids according to Joe.

Funny how the left likes to put words in peoples mouths they didn't say. We see it all the time especially the routine cleanups for Biden

Seriously?? You really think Hillary carries hot sauce??

Whataboutism gives a clue to its meaning in its name. It is not merely the changing of a subject to deflect away from an earlier subject as a political strategy; it’s essentially a reversal of accusation, arguing that an opponent is guilty of an offense just as egregious or worse than what the original party was accused of doing, however unconnected the offenses may be.

The tactic behind whataboutism has been around for a long time. Rhetoricians generally consider it to be a form of tu quoque, which means "you too" in Latin and involves charging your accuser with whatever it is you've just been accused of rather than refuting the truth of the accusation made against you. Tu quoque is considered to be a logical fallacy, because whether or not the original accuser is likewise guilty of an offense has no bearing on the truth value of the original accusation.

What about 'whataboutism'?

If everyone is guilty of something, is no one guilty of anything?

Whataboutism is an argumentative tactic where a person or group responds to an accusation or difficult question by deflection. Instead of addressing the point made, they counter it with “but what about X?”.
