Charlotte mayoral candidate lists being "white" as one of her qualifications for office.

Courtesy of the Charlotte Observer:

A Charlotte mayoral candidate wants people to know that she’s Republican, smart – and white. 

“VOTE FOR ME!” Kimberley Paige Barnette posted on Facebook. “REPUBLICAN & SMART, WHITE, TRADITIONAL.” 

Barnette, who turned 53 on Friday, is a former Mecklenburg County magistrate making her first run for office. 

She could not be immediately reached. 

In a WTVI debate last month, Barnette criticized last September’s Charlotte protesters. She called the protests “an expression of Democratic behavior.” 

Asked how the city could help its lower-income residents, Barnette said, “I don’t think we should encourage more lower-income people to (come to) Charlotte.” 

“We should attract higher-income people.”

In case you missed it, "higher-income" is shorthand for not a brown person.

I don't really want to judge people on their looks, but I am pretty sure I saw that same face stirring a cauldron during a Shakespearean play I watched one time.

But hey, she's white so who cares?

This is now apparently Trump's America where being white is really the only qualification one needs for success.

Is it too early in the day to start drinking?

    Does the half baked Alaskan have relatives in North Carolina?!

    I don't really want to judge people on their looks, but I am pretty sure I saw that same face stirring shit with the RNC during a Shakespearean play I watched on tv as Hurricane Gustav blew into Texass one time!

    2. First thing I thought of when I saw that woman's face... A cousin Sarah didn't know she had?

  2. She seems nice. Of course, she doesn't stand a chance of winning the GOP primary next week, let alone mayor. NC may be red but Charlotte is a lovely shade of Carolina blue :)

      Given how she describes herself, I don't think I'd ever call her "nice." She's promoting herself as a racist, anti-gay woman who thinks she's better than anyone else. She's even against democracy, for heaven's sake. Even if I were a Republican, she would not get my vote. The last thing we need in this country are more politicians who refuse to accept people as they are.

    2. Sorry Beaglemom, forgot to set the snark alert. I've seen her in person and she does not come across as pleasant at all.

  4. So - - she claims to be "white" -- whatever that means.

    I want to see her DNA test results before I believe her.

    Remember that white supremacist Nazi Craig Cobb who moved into rural NOrth Dakota, intending to bring in other assholes like him to take over a small town? Then we found out his DNA results showed he was 14% "Sub-Saharan African??

    Can't find her Facebook page. Did she take it down? A bonafide $arah wannabe, that one, except she left out the "god" that she claims to worship while milking the stupid for couch change.

    On the negative side of trump being electected, it has emboldened people like this woman, the alt right ralliers in charlottesville who marched without hoods, and numerous everyday people caught on tape spewing vile hate and bigotry. On the positive side of trump being elected, it has emboldened these people to come out of the shadows and reveal themselves for who they really are. Yes u can march with ur tiki torch but u may not have a job when u get home.

      Yes, now every tom, dick and harry with a GED thinks they are qualified to be president.

      Here in MI, we have Kid Rock that thinks he is qualified to be a US Senator.

      As much as I hate to admit it, he may be right - as long as he/she has the following qualifications:
      1.) BORN a citizen of the US
      2.) 35 or older
      3.) live continuously inside the US the last 14 years.

      As for the "Kid Rock" being qualified? Much easier.
      1.) Be a US citizen for at least nine years when elected
      2.) 30+ years of age
      3.) a resident of the state the Senator represents.

      And they don't even need a GED! No educational levels are mentioned. There are no other qualifications. Period.

    Well we can leave out the smart or she would have written the phase: republican, smart, white & traditional.

    Can’t people tell from her photo that she is white? Or are her supporters too stupid to figure it out by themselves?

    She looks a little dark to be white, maybe she should stay out of the sun :) Helps with the wrinkles also.

    "“We find that WHITE Trump supporters randomly exposed to a black (versus a white) man in the context of soliciting their support for a housing-assistance policy were more opposed to the policy, angrier about the policy, and more likely to blame beneficiaries for their situation."
    "Trump’s support was rooted in “racial animosity” (aka, “whitelash” post Obama). It wasn’t “economic anxiety.”" Trump supporters and opponents respond in fundamentally different ways to racial cues in the environment.”Trump has a powerful incentive to get people to keep thinking about race: If his most ardent supporters just need a slight racial cue to come around to his conservative policy views, then Trump simply has to bring up race to get his supporters fired up for him.”
    {Steve Bannon loves the RACE CARD.}"While conservatives accuse liberals of playing the “race card”, Donald Trump really is playing the race card. The white resentment race card. It works, every time."

      Steve Bannon on 60 minutes with charlie Rose:
      " "The Billy Bush Saturday to me is a litmus test. Billy Bush Saturday showed me who really had Donald Trump's back to play to his better angels."
      ""He chose to stay as governor and complete his term. Any assertion to the contrary is simply factually incorrect."

  16. She is aware that Charlottesville has an affluent black population too, right?

    And poor white trash rednecks. Guess you can drop the "smart" part.

    She's Republican and White. And that alone is enough to get her too many votes.
