Is this racist?

Reddit

quote:

Candidate Jamie Floyd has signs that stray from the traditional format with signs that say, "I'm your Huckleberry", "Be Wise Ruby", and "Make the school board great again".

Idk if it’s racist but it’s pretty damn stupid, though being north La it might be perfect for the voter base.

Not racist unless you're a moron, but from this sign, I'm pretty sure morons are his target audience.

"I'm sorry if I offended anyone with this sign," Floyd wrote. "I have used this line in a past Town Talk article and never once received a negative comment. I also ran it by other races before putting it out and they understood what I was saying. I do believe in creation and not evolution. That I am not sorry for."

The sign has since been taken down and Floyd said he will not use it again.



Boooooo!

He just lost my vote.

If you lean towards evolution, technically he is right.

I don’t know that it is. That’s why I asked. Per usual, a certain demographic is making it about race.

How anyone with this belief is allowed to teach or be in an authority position in public school systems is beyond me.

That is so sad.

He isn't going to win. Apparently he runs all the time for different positions and never comes close to winning.

He is just an attention whore.

Yeah, that’s quite a stretch. It’s obviously a moronic dig against evolution, not blacks

With that platform, in Alexandria... I actually am surprised he hasn't come close.

A little cut throat campaigning.

I like it.

I will allow it. Carry on

He can say whatever he wants but EVERYone knows that if you mention hangings and monkeys it is going to be called racist. You will might as well drop an N bomb on there too at that point. The sign may not say anything racist but putting two of the biggest hot button references on there is going to get it called racist no matter what.
