Judging by what I read, CPAC should no longer stand for Conservative Political Action Committee. It should stand for Crazy People Are Coming. This could be seen as a double-entendre, for it could be referring to the people speaking at this gathering or how these people see everyone else.
Last Friday, audience member Scott Terry - a 30-year old from North Carolina - had a few interesting bits of commentary to share with the other audience members, as well as speakers.
After presenter K. Carl Smith of the Frederick Douglass Republicans referenced a letter written by Douglass, where he forgave his former master, Terry blurted out, "For what? For feeding him and housing him?" Sadly, this comment was met with applause and cheers.
Following this back-and-forth, Terry was heard saying, "Why can't we just have segregation?"
Terry wasn't done there. He also said that whites have been "systematically disenfranchised" by the federal government.
When asked if he'd be okay with a society where African-Americans were permanently slaves to their white masters, Terry replied with, "I'd be fine with that."
I wish I was finished, but I'd be leaving out yet another lovely comment by the young man. When a woman challenged him on the roots of the Republican Party, he responded with, "I didn't know the legacy of the Republican Party included women correcting men in public."
...and here the Republican Party wonders why they've struggled earning the votes of women, and especially of minorities...
Whether Scott Terry likes it or not, this country is diverse and becoming progressively more diverse by the year, where in a few years, whites will no longer be the majority. He can deny it all he'd like, and hope that his racist beliefs and commentary will somehow motivate more people of his pasty skin tone to take control of this country by enslaving minorities again. However, the quantity of Caucasians whom don't regularly go around sporting white hoods far outnumbers those, like Mr. Terry, who do. So, don't get your hopes up, Mr. Terry - just do us all a favor and keep your trap shut.
