Yea, Sherman obviously has keen insight into the election.

Growing up in Ascension Parish, there was an old Klansman who lived a couple miles away. He had painted his barn with a racial rant and confederate imagery. When he finally died of cancer as an old man, about 8 years ago, his children painted over the murals and took down the stars and bars.
When I was a teen, I went canoeing in Mississippi and passed crosses set up and prepared for burning on the river bank.
When I was in high school, the klan attempted to hold a rally in my town. The neighborhood was so irate that the Klan cancelled.
Oh, and David Duke made the runoff for governor in 1992, and still received upwards of 60,000 votes for U.S. Senate this week.
The Klan is weak, has little influence, and doesn't do 1/10th of the vandalism attributed to them by social media, but they do exist.

You dumb fricks talk like the Klan is some mainstream organization. You can find a Sasquatch easier than you can find a card carrying klansman.

He was running against a corrupt, establishment criminal.
That sort of mattered to a lot of people.

David Duke was also a criminal. Both Duke and Edwards ended up in prison after that election, such a shameful moment in this state's history. Thankfully, it was just about rock bottom. Governor Foster really started the upward trend.

Edwards wasn't the only Politician to face Duke.
There were other Republicans in the primaries

I live in the middle of Alabama and I've never seen the KKK. Barely hear anything about it

It should be insulting to educated black folk that the media pimps this guy as some kind of intellectual titan.
He normally is very well spoken with articulate thoughts, but frick off to all of the people who are pimping MAGA as some sort of victory/vote based off of racism.
Race has literally nothing to do with it. It never did. It never will.
Did Klan members, racists, etc vote for Trump? Maybe. They probably always vote Republican, just as the racists in the Black Panther Party probably always vote D. Doesn't make one's campaign racist if these people vote/endorse for an individual.
They'll never get it. And for that, I feel sorry for these people.

He won because he got the poor whites (that normally go to the other side) on his side and to vote for him by going at Mexicans and poor blacks. Those are the people they compete with for jobs, so once he said "he's building a wall", they were like frickin right, it's easier for us now haha.

She says he needs to be castrated and never mentions race.
He brings up the KKK
Then talks about the country being built off slavery.
Solid jump there Richard

Sherman is such a fricking moron.
Posted on 11/10/16 at 12:41 pm to cwill
yea this is stupid. They make everything about race. A hit that shouldve been called for Roughing,while she defintely over reacted this has zero to do with race.

I could be wrong here but... Nothing about what he said seems to be referring to Trump or the election. That's his response to a tweet directed at him from an opponent's wife.
He didn't, but the attitude that everything is racist is part of the driving force behind the orange president. That's the point.

He won because he got the poor whites (that normally go to the other side) on his side and to vote for him
Romney got 59%
It wasn't white folks that got him elected......
