A Louisiana Representative is in big trouble for remarks she made.
"A state representative in a runoff election infuriated civil rights leaders after she ended a conversation with the mother of the NAACP’s local president by saying, “Talk to you later, Buckwheat.”
State Rep. Carla Blanchard Dartez, of Morgan City, acknowledged she made the remark during a Thursday night telephone conversation with Hazel Boykin to thank her for driving voters to the polls.
Buckwheat, a black child character in the “Little Rascals” comedies of the 1930s and ’40s, is viewed as a racial stereotype demeaning to black people. Hazel Boykin’s son, Jerome, is the NAACP’s president in Terrebonne Parish. She is well-known as a 1960s civil rights activist, helping to desegregate restaurants and the parish school system"
I'm speechless! No, I'm not! This is the face of racism! And people don't believe in the Jena 6? I'm wondering if those dams didn't break by themselves! Sure would be a good way to get rid of all those African Americans in the lower wards! Just a thought.... I would have hung up the phone and walked to her house and kicked her face in! If I wasn't such a lady! LOL
