CPAC racism panel derailed by audience member who suggests slaves should have been grateful for food, shelter & clothing
"A wingnut
group looking to make inroads with African American Voters held a talk
on Friday called 'Trump the Race Card'. It devolved into a chaos when
Scott Terry of North Carolina suggested Fredrick Douglass should have
been grateful for the food and shelter provided by his former slave
master."
When asked by ThinkProgress if he’d accept a society where
African-Americans were permanently subservient to whites, he said “I’d
be fine with that.” He also claimed that African-Americans “should be
allowed to vote in Africa,” and that “all the Tea Parties” were
concerned with the same racial problems that he was.
At one point, a woman challenged him on the Republican Party’s roots, to
which Terry responded, “I didn’t know the legacy of the Republican
Party included women correcting men in public.”
He claimed to be a direct descendent of Confederate President Jefferson Davis.
