Trump NY co-chair makes racist remarks about Michelle Obama

Carl Paladino, who served as New York co-chairman for President-elect Donald Trump's campaign, on Friday said he wants President Obama to die in 2017 and made racist attacks on first lady Michelle Obama.

Paladino, a Buffalo real estate developer, let loose a series of offensive statements about the Obamas in the New York arts publication Artvoice.

Now that Trump's in office tongues are really flapping! Seems as if all the pent up racist anger that was repressed during the Obama presidency is now suddenly being released with a vengeance

It says Moses was from a different race than his wife. It is not about race so much that it is about what is fair. People who grow up in a Vietnamese household has parents who raised the kids. So the kids owe the parents more than they do other races. That's just why you honour your own parents not strangers. If I were white I would honour my white parents period. My dad might be a harshest person to us but he was a righteous person. I only hated that there was a misunderstanding! Don't get me wrong. There are great people out there of all colors. They have great ideals but their lives didn't turn out well. Look at Abraham Lincoln. He started the abolishment to ending discrimination. I think.

It certainly looks that way, they have been feeling oppressed because their views are not considered acceptable. They're in for a rude awakening, their comments and attitudes will still not be considered acceptable. Then again, many of them still probably feel protected due to practices like gerrymandering and the Balkanization of the geographical landscape according to politics.

How does that justify the gorilla comment he made?

Discrimination is not a good thing but we are raised within our families. And you learn it is family or harm and death. Many people never break out of their routine. I rarely break. It gives a sense of security to be on a routine.

Bringing up Moses and race makes no sense because race did not exist in the Bible, it's a 15th century concept.

After reading his comments, they are all absurd statements. Disliking the Obamas is not equal to disliking all blacks. That is just as absurd to presume and is the logical fallacy of applying a part to the whole. Are you aware that Black Lives Matter is funded by George Soros who is a racist and wants to increase racial divisions in America to destroy our nation just as he has done with other countries? Also, this man's insult of Michelle is not racist but sexist, implying that she is a man posing as a woman. Lastly, the implication you are making in your post is that Trump is guilty by association, which is another logical fallacy.

We can play this game where we pretend that comparing black people to apes or monkeys is not racist, but we're not playing that game. Nor are we playing the Black Lives Matter red herring game.

What does BLM have to do with this racist Trump NY co-chair? Nothing.

It's perhaps safe to assume that he isn't a fan.

It's both racist and sexist; and it's disingenuous to pretend that it's not racist to make a comment about Michelle going to Zimbabwe to live with a gorilla.

I agree. It was a terrible comment. And it is one of many terrible, racist comments the man made.

Pretty gutsy to try to use the term "logical fallacy" to make, pretty much the most illogical argument I've seen regarding racism.

You deny that racist comments are racist and then accuse someone else of being a racist for calling out racist comments as being racist?

Really?

At least he is efficient about it. Other people here take the very looong way around; or just imply it.

He isn't a fan of black people? Yup. Safe to say that.

So glad that jerk wasn't elected our Governor. Unfortunately there are a lot of right wing wingnuts in upstate NY.

A president can either encourage or discourage that attitude. Are you saying that Trump discouraged it via his political anti-ethnic rhetoric?
