Newt Gingrich, the former House speaker who is informally advising Donald J. Trump and being vetted as a possible Republican vice-presidential nominee, said on Friday that whites in America can’t fathom “being black in America.”

Mr. Gingrich made the comments in a Facebook Live chat with the Democratic commentator Van Jones, who is black, after 12 officers were shot in Dallas at a rally protesting the deaths of black men by the police in Louisiana and Minnesota.

“It took me a long time, and a number of people talking to me through the years, to get a sense of this,” Mr. Gingrich said. “If you are a normal, white American, the truth is you don’t understand being black in America and you instinctively underestimate the level of discrimination and the level of additional risk.”

He added there were “everyday” dangers that white people did not face. “It is more dangerous to be black in America,” he said. “It is more dangerous in that they are substantially more likely to end up in a situation where the police don’t respect you and you could easily get killed.”

And to really drive home the fact that he understands, he's throwing his lot in with Donald J Trump

It's funny though, if Newt is coming to the realization that he's the only person who can save the GOP by leveraging his past experience with the fact that he has nothing to lose to make it okay to push out the single issue racist voters. Especially if he feels this is already a lost cause

Thought we all like watching Trump gently caress over his election chances, for this incident at least I'm glad he's not whipping people into a racist frenzy. The night is young though.

Huh, maybe that Newt Gingrich should have a talk with this other Newt Gingrich fellow:

quote:

'My argument is the policies that have driven us apart, the policies that have trapped African-Americans in all too large numbers in poverty and in hopelessness [are] the ideological policies that say, "Black lives matter".'

'Well, baloney! All American lives matter, of all backgrounds. And we ought to challenge the Hillary Clintons and the Bernie Sanderses to say that American lives matter. All American lives.'

'We're in the eighth year of a president who could have brought us together, a president who could have worked in the African-American community to make people feel better about themselves, a president who could have offered visionary changes in the policies that have failed for the last 50 years,' Gingrich fumed.

'And he didn't do any of that.'

Disagree.

Even in Trump statements with no specific enemy you can feel a low rumbling of disdain and sneering at SOMETHING. It's like the reference point from Stargate, the rest doesn't work without it.
