Rep. Paul Ryan is still trying to convince us that he’s not a racist. He told Bill O’Reilly, “I don’t have a racist bone in my body.” Careful wording considering racism and hate don’t typically reside in the bones.
Here are some examples of Ryan showing his racist “bone.”
While speaking to an audience about how to solve the “the victimization class” crisis, Ryan said a good move would be “trying to recruit a lot of minority legislators to work with us.” In 2012 he said, “… the best thing to help prevent violent crime in the inner cities is to bring opportunity in the inner cities, is to help people get out of poverty in the inner cities, is to help teach people good discipline, good character.
Rep. Barbara Lee (D-California) describes Ryan’s use of the “inner city” and “culture” to mean “black.” Ryan responded by saying, “This has nothing to do whatsoever with race. It never even occurred to me. This has nothing to do with race whatsoever.”
