DNC Member forced to resign after using term "Colored People"

...Even his wife turned on him.

Activists demand DNC member’s resignation after ‘colored people’ remark

At that point, Parker’s wife, King, publicly called on him to quit.

“Though it is painful and awkward to air this conflict publicly, I have told John from the beginning that the most appropriate course of action for him was to resign,” King told First Coast News in a written statement.

In the statement, King said she didn’t know how to handle a complaint filed against Parker because the local party “bylaws do not have a grievance process, our Central Committee will be meeting this Thursday to create one.”

In other news, the NAACP has their annual convention in July.

Ok, that last line made me laugh.

I am positive that you saw that story on the Washington Examiner site and then tried to pretend like you saw it on politico and didn’t even read the politico story.

“The problem, local activists say, is that Parker’s remark was not simply an errant remark. Diallo-Sekou Seabrooks, an African-American who said he heard the remarks at the Burrito Gallery restaurant after a Democratic meeting, told First Coast News that Parker “freely used” the phrase, “colored people,” at the event and that he was concerned that Jacksonville would become like Atlanta, a city with a majority-black government.”

For a guy who screams fake news about everything, you sure share it a lot.

He’ll be much happier in the Republican Party.

So politico is now fake news?   You can spin it any way you want the story clearly states that the colored people remark led to the demand he resign.

MIAMI — A Florida Democratic National Committee member is resisting a chorus of resignation calls from African-American activists and party officials — including his own wife — after he referred to blacks as “colored people.”

DNC member John Parker, a Democratic state committee member from Duval County, told POLITICO he simply mangled the phrase “people of color” and that he didn’t mean to say “colored people” at a Jan. 22 party meeting at a Jacksonville restaurant.

And sorry man, good try but I didn't see it at the Examiner.

Nah he'll want to stay in the party of diversity that meets at the Burrito Gallery.

I don’t believe you clap clap clapclapclap

Lol. So once again I'm a liar. Thank you for that.

Good work on refuting the facts presented.

For the record the story was a headline at Legal Insurrection earlier tonight, I saw the blurb on it there then clicked through to Politico.
What a terrible way to get the news, reading the source article. Sometimes you allow your partisanship to blind you. But as I said I was never at the Examiner site. Sorry you were wrong as usual.

You knew you were dead wrong? Congrats man!

So tell me what the problem in your mind is with seeing a blurb about an article then clicking through and reading the originial article? Somehow I'm missing the great flaw that that you seem to be dancing a jig over?

And BTW - again you've skipped pointing out where I was factually wrong, not that being right has any importance to you.

You mean the quote in the actual article you linked that it wasn't just about him saying "colored" once? That there was some kind of systematic problem with the guy expressing dismay at too many black people in the government of Jacksonville? I thought I pointed that out. Did you read the politico article?

it's actually pretty funny - a random dude refers to folks as "colored people" and the DNC gets rid of him.

an openly racist bigot runs for president and the christian GOP welcomes him with open arms.

Of course that would apply to 98% of the people here, yourself included.

waiting on the racist, bigoted sexual predator to refer to this guy and his ilk as "some very fine people"..

but I guess he only reserves that designation for white supremacists?
