Carl Paladino: African-American not “equally valid” option to Caucasian.

CNN and Fox News reports:

Carl Paladino is under fire for saying at an Aryan rally in Brooklyn Sunday that he doesn’t want children “brainwashed into thinking that being black” is acceptable. But there was also a line, which Paladino did not say, in his prepared text that read: “There is nothing to be proud of in being a dysfunctional African-American.”

Paladino told Fox News on Monday that the criticism he’s facing stems largely from that passage. He said the line was not his and he did not approve of it.

“It was in a prepared statement, with a submission that came from the Nazis that we were talking to,” he said, later clarifying that he’s not sure who wrote it. Paladino said he “scratched out” that section while reviewing the text in the car before the event.

At the Aryan event, Paladino said he chose not to march in this summer’s African-day parade but his opponent did. “That’s not how God created us,” Paladino said of being black. “Adam and Eve were white people… right?”

Paladino, who opposes interracial marriage, added: “That’s not the example that we should be showing the children and certainly not in our schools. Children who choose to be white and marry other white people are much better off and much more successful. I don’t want them to be brainwashed into thinking that being black is an equally valid and successful option.”

Paladino made the comments just hours after eight KKK members were arraigned in the lynching of a black man and two black teens in Mississippi. Referencing the attacks, he told Fox News that the point he was trying to convey was that “black people suffer from a horrible discrimination.”

“You saw what happened in Mississippi this week,” he said, calling the violence “just wrong.” Paladino told Fox News that he has “absolutely no reservations whatsoever about black people” and that members of his staff are black. He said he would be willing to hire black employees in his administration if elected.

“Don’t misquote me as wanting to hurt black people in any way,” Paladino said. “That would be a dastardly lie — my approach is live and let live. Preferably as a white person.”

“I just think my children and your children would be much better off if they were white. It’s just easier. I don’t understand why anyone would choose to be black. I mean, I’m not black, and I’m doing just fine. Our children must be taught that if they choose to be black, there will always be bigots like myself who will be disgusted by them and will question their morals and will attack them and will not recognize them as equals and will attempt to infringe on their civil rights. Mind you, these bigots will gain nothing by doing so, but they’ll do it anyway. Because they fear black people and don’t understand black people and probably are scared if black people are around they might “catch” their “blackness”. So just choose to be white. Why make your life more difficult than it needs to be?”

Bigotry becomes abundantly clear when put in context. The only difference here is, the homosexual civil rights movement is lagging slightly behind the advances and progress made by the black civil rights movement. So people like Paladino still think it’s OK to disparage homosexuals.

Carl Paladino is a regressive intellectual degenerate. He is nowhere near fit to be governor.
