Morphine Prince 109,699 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Washington (CNN) - A Republican candidate for Kentucky's state legislature posted racist images of President Barack Obama and his family -- and defended those images by saying "Facebook's entertaining." Dan Johnson, the bishop of Heart of Fire Church in Louisville, posted an edited image of the President and first lady Michelle Obama with ape-like features. He also labeled a photo of a chimpanzee a baby picture of Obama. "It wasn't meant to be racist. I can tell you that. My history's good there. I can see how people would be offended in that. I wasn't trying to offend anybody, but, I think Facebook's entertaining." "I looked this up. There has been no president that hasn't had that scrutiny. Not one," he said. "I think it would be racist not to do the same for President Obama as we've done for every other president." His Facebook page also contains a number of Confederate flags, as well as anti-Islam posts -- including one that calls on states to "legally ban this criminal syndicate 'religion.'" "My thing for Islam, if you want to be in America, be an American. The thing about all religions in America, they don't oppose America or want to destroy America, or some way or another get us to take on another law, like Sharia law. I hate that," Johnson told WDRB.

Bebe 17,289 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 It's bizarre how people can twist their racism like that. "No! It would have been offensive if I DIDN'T compare the first black President and his family to apes!!" I mean... **** me... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
