I truly have no idea where they find these people.
People so tone deaf to their own racism that they can not help but offend with every utterance.
Today's winner of racist asshole is GOP Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson. Patterson longs for the days of putting brown people into camps and expecting them to fend for themselves after being minimally provisioned.
“I made a prediction a long time ago, and it’s come to pass. I said, ‘What we’re gonna do is turn Detroit into an Indian reservation, where we herd all the Indians into the city, build a fence around it, and then throw in the blankets and the corn.’”
After Detroit officials and activists reacted with outrage, Patterson’s office released a statement accusing The New Yorker of having an “agenda.”
“It is clear Paige Williams had an agenda when she interviewed County Executive Patterson,” the statement said. “She cast him in a false light in order to fit her preconceived and outdated notions about the region.”
