Today's "Trump This" Racist Award goes to:
Sally Kern, R-Oklahoma or Mars, who said on the floor of the House:
“We have a high percentage of blacks in prison, and that’s tragic, but are they in prison just because they are black or because they don’t want to study as hard in school? I’ve taught school, and I saw a lot of people of color who didn’t study hard because they said the government would take care of them.”
She has apologized. Saying the usual “I’m sorry you found that offensive.”
The award is carved out of suet and is quite pleased with itself.

How do these people get into public office ??? Sally Kern if you are so inclined to read a site such as this…the high percentage of blacks in prisons has been attributed to causes such as excessive racial profiling, inadaquate social/educational opportunities, economic hardship and the breakdown of family systems due to reasons too numerous to begin listing here. A word of advice. If your head is in the toilet- don’t blow bubbles.

She exemplifies the kinder, gentler GOP we all know & wretch over.
