Candidate for mayor shouts "Go back to Africa!"

Read it here.

Dude in Florida wants Black activists to go back to Africa. Same dude also believes Obama becoming president was reparations somehow.

Posted in Pit because I expect to add some pitesque language later as I’m just too tired to do that now. I also expect some other posters to be more colorful/creative than I ever could with such language.

Each and every time some bozo yells this, the correct response should be "Go back to Europe!"

Yet, “good patriotic Christians” will vote for him. I guarantee it. :dubious:

Florida.

Reading that article, I’m not sure which person I find stranger: the guy shouting “Go back to Africa” or the guy he shouted it at.

As Gatopescado already eloquently put it:

White knights for black people? But, you know, the good kind this time!

Their motto.

Yeah, why did they even come here in the first place if they don’t like this country!!!

Yeah. Knew it before I even opened the thread.

Is it just me or that a terribly worded sentence? I realize they mean he threatened to fire the police, or at least that’s what I think they meant, but on its face it seems to be saying he threatened to fire the KFC employees once he was mayor, which suggests he believes the mayor has the power to fire KFC employees, and that’s super funny. :smiley:

Probably not too many.

Nutcase loonies run for office all the time, but fortunately they hardly ever get much support.

Come on, he’s not so bad. He even says he didn’t mean ALL African Americans, just the ones he doesn’t like.

The sad thing is the number of people who would respond to this question with bobblehead nods emphatic enough to shake off their MAGA caps.

Dave Barry, the humorist and former columnist for the Miami Herald moved to Florida a few decades ago when he became a regular on the Herald, and has been writing about it ever since. You can sum up all his observations in two words: batshit crazy. This is the place where someone nearly ran him down at a crosswalk and yelled at him for being in the way, where motorists regularly shoot at each other out of car windows, and where virtually any election is comedy gold.

Florida is so crazy that the further south you go, the further north you are!

What a country!

Based on recent discussions on this board, I suspect we might have a few Dopers come in and tell us that it’s not necessarily racist to tell a black person they should go back to Africa.

In January his mom was hospitalized w/ bedsores she got while he took care of her (he claims they happened in either 1.5 or 3 days) and he was charged w/ felony elder abuse. I guess that hasn’t been resolved yet. But this man is a piece of human trash that will likely never step out of his narcissistic and privileged bubble to see the depth of his soul’s ugliness.

I really, really should know by now not to read the comments on a news article.

The charges were dropped.

Holy shit, her tailbone was visible through her bed sore. Regardless of who’s responsible, that makes me feel ill. My dad’s been in the hospital for 4 days now, but bed-ridden since late April and my 72 year-old mom has, w/ thrice-weekly help from hospice CNAs, managed to keep him from getting any sores whatsoever.
