His first run at using the word he loves the most in life:
North Carolina GOP precinct official Don Yelton participated in a segment on the state's controversial voter ID law -- legislation which he argued was not racist. He also criticized "lazy black people that want the government to give them everything."
"Now you have a black person using the term, "N***** this and n***** that, and it's OK for them to do it," Yelton added.
And when all else fails, try try again, to be super racist and drop N-bombs like it's raining:
In a follow-up interview with TheWrap.com on Friday, Yelton did not relent on language of that nature, standing by his assertions. When asked if his comments were racist, Yelton invoked the word that got him in trouble in the first place.
“When a n***** can use the word n***** and it not be considered racist, that’s the utmost racism in the world, and it’s hypocrisy,” Yelton said.
And the Buncombe County Republican Party chair tells an outright lie and denial about the huge problem his party has with race at the local, state and national levels:
The Buncombe County Republican Party distanced itself from Yelton Thursday, calling his comments "offensive, uniformed, and unacceptable of any member within the Republican Party."
"Let me make it very clear, Mr. Yelton's comments do not reflect the belief or feelings of Buncombe republicans, nor do they mirror any core principle that our party is founded upon," Chairman Henry Mitchell stated. "This mentality will not be supported or propagated within our party."
Yeah, hardcore ideological Republicans (especially deep down South) have gotten past the whole race thing, cough, cough, a hum, well go with that pipe dream, fantasy (joke) for now...
