This Fields has to go

[palepainter]

Any opportunity to make someone look like a racist.... I suppose if I said, the best sushi I ever ate was in Japan, that would make me a racist too. This criminal is out of line. Yet she garners tons of support. Here is a comment by state rep Marble

. “When you look at life expectancy, there are problems in the black race: sickle-cell anemia is something that comes up, diabetes is something that’s prevalent in the genetic makeup and you just can’t help it,” Marble said. “Although I’ve got to say, I’ve never had better BBQ and better chicken and ate better in my life than when you go down south and you — I love it.”

Apparently Fields went into a racist rant on her. I do not think I am shocked as much as I am sick of it all. Here is the article.

Unfortunately Marble unwittingly opened the door to someone like Fields.

Hare dare Racist Rhonda act like white people can't make chicken! F*ck her, Colonel Sanders was white... and he made some damn fine chicken.

Regardless of whether the comments are 'racist' or not, they were completely stupid. How can she think in her head that talking about how great fried chicken is when black people in the South make it - is not going to be perceived as racist....??

I guess I just don't see the stupidity in making an observation or a factual statement that simply did not make it through the PC filter.

She watches all the white women advertise for Popeye's chicken?

True story- lmao

[Monky]

Where exactly did she say 'fried chicken'?

You're putting words in her mouth just like Rhonda.

Way to be people!

chicken, watermelon, and chiltlins are racist foods. i don't really know what that means, but it seems to fit here.

[TFOGGER]

Fields is a racist herself, simply by taking offense at ANY perceived ethnically charged stereotype. She is offended by the mere WORD "black", African-American is no longer PC enough for her, ANY differentiation based on ethnicity that singles out those of African descent is perceived as "racist" by her, as it is a reflection of her own viewpoint.

In short, screw Rhonda Fields with a flaming garden rake, sideways.

Might I add the intrepid-sailor chef Popeye, by golly can he make outstanding biscuits.

^^^This
Marbles comments while a bit less than tactful and ignorant were spot on.
Rap Sheet Rhonda cannot stand her and used the opportunity to undermine Marble, who was a very outspoken opponent to RSR's H.R. 1224.
Classic liberal Democrats response to something they don't like.
Hell, last night on the news the local rep for the National Association of Always Crying Pussies (NAACP) was on, singing right along with RSR how racist this was.
Anything to demonize a conservative.
Let's not forget just who RSR is, she couldn't even get a job at King Soopers plucking produce due to her criminal record but it is ok for her to legislate laws.

Marble is one of the good guys, I got a chance to speak with her at the last rally. She deserves our support.

Gotta be one of the most stupid bitches on this here planet.

Sometimes I want to run for office just so I could tell Fields to shove it.

Does liking Santiago's make me racist?

What does southern barbecue and chicken have to do with the genetic makeup of black people?

The comment was EXTREMELY ignorant.

While I agree that this PC bullshit has gotten out of hand all of our elected officials need to be sensitive to issues others may perceive as racist. All the news outlets are covering this and it does not benefit our cause one bit. Standing up for these comments will only hurt our cause more.

I think what she was trying to say is that black people are predisposed to genetic health issues and the poor of that group eating like shit really doesn't help their early death rates. The point she should have made is that poor people of all races eat like shit, partly because they are largely ignorant, and partly because it is cheap and convenient to do so. That was her point when she went on to say that Mexicans eat a lot of veggies until they come to America where they transition to fast food and crap.

As far as gaffes go, this should not be on the radar when compared to Biden, and pregnancy selecting vaginas during rape, and puke/shit defenses, and so forth.
