Trump backer: ‘I don’t live in a black neighborhood so I don’t worry about…getting shot’

Posted by | September 6, 2016 13:50 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly Politics


Retired Brigadier General Remo Butler sounds like the typical Trump supporter/surrogate, which is the problem.

“A lot of black people don’t support Donald Trump for their own reasons, and I don’t think that the Republican Party has done him any favors by helping him with his outreach to the minority communities” he said. “Most minorities, we want the same thing that everybody else wants. The media — and I’m not bashing the media, I would never bash the media, but you heard this– the media sets the tone.”

Butler said that watching TV, “you would think that all black people are on welfare, we live in the ghetto, we’re so afraid of getting shot, and we wear our hair in dreadlocks. As you can see, I don’t wear my hair in dreadlocks because I don’t have hair. Two, I speak fairly well, people can understand me. Three, I don’t live in a black neighborhood so I’m not worried about going out and getting shot.”

    if this self-hating asshole were to go in t-shirt and jeans to a tRump rally, he’ll be smacked back into reality that by not living in a “ghetto” or speaking “fairly well”, will not grant him any points, as the only thing tRump supporters notice is the color of his skin.

      Something tells me the GOP will throw him under the bus too, just like they did to Michael Steel. He caught a lot of flack because in July 2010, video footage of Steele was released in which he stated that the Afghan war was “a war of Obama’s choosing”. The GOP misunderstood his comments and thought he was complimenting the president, saying “this is NOT Obama’s war. It’s America’s war”. They kept trashing him until he left Fox “news”.

        Damon. Well, that’s what he gets for being an ass an a liar and for kissing up.

    Guess that means he doesn’t drive either.

      well, since he’s implying that he lives in an all white neighborhood, i’d like to ask him if it’s a trailer park.

    He should move-in with some white rednecks.

    Those guys shoot each other all the time.
