As Trish reported last week, a white Republican group called America’s PAC has ads up on urban radio that are intended to convince black people to vote for Republicans. I just came across the transcripts for a couple of the ads. So not making this up:
“If you make a little mistake with one of your ‘hos,’ you’ll want to dispose of that problem tout suite, no questions asked,” one of the men says.
“That’s too cold. I don’t snuff my own seed,” the other replies.
“Maybe you do have a reason to vote Republican,” the first man says.
And:
“I can understand why a Ku Klux Klan cracker like David Duke makes nice with the terrorists,”a male voice in the ad says. “What I want to know is why so many of the Democrat politicians I helped elect are on the same side of the Iraq war as David Duke.”
Black Americans who use the street argot mangled in these ads are generally too disaffected to vote. Everybody else will think they’re as funny as they are offensive.
One thought on “GOP Ads Targeting Blacks Refer to Women as ‘Ho’s’ and Whites as ‘Crackers’”
