HARLEM, NY — It's hard to do, but a politician running for office in Harlem might have one-upped Donald Trump when it comes to making ignorant and offensive statements.


quote:

Jon Girodes, a Republican running to represent the 30th State Senate District, sent an email to NBC New York saying he would hand out "watermelons" and "KFC" in Harlem during a campaign event.


quote:

"Ps I'm hosting an event in Harlem which will be in front of the state building in a few weeks. We will [donate] Kool Aid, KFC and watermelons to the public on 125th street in Harlem. Please join us to help the community," Girodes wrote in the email.

They bitch about everything. They act as if they're highly insulted, like they have class.

Calling the statement "Kool Aid, KFC and Watermelons" racist is way more racist than the actual offer.

Who the frick doesn't like one of those three things?
