Hah! There's nothing voters can even say! If they voted for him simply because they thought he was black, they can't allege discrimination because they were the ones being racist. A smart feller like that may actually have a chance of improving that board, seeing as how it's been "troubled."
Seriously. The defeated moron is claiming that only he should have a monopoly on race based voters. Great defense!
But folks do this all the time. Look at how many Italians and Spaniards claim to be minorities to gain benefit of government contract set asides for minorities. And they are actually correct. Spaniards, French and Italians are indeed Latinos.
So he used dishonest tactics to get elected, and he's proud of it.
Sounds like a republican.

Sounds like someone is upset when blacks voters are proven to be racist.

Let's see: a guy (let's name him Dave) applies for a job and mentions in his resume that he likes watermelon and fried chicken. After series of phone interviews he's hired. He shows up for work and turns out he's as white as fresh snow. His manager or co-worker (let's name him Homeboy) says: "WTF, man, we thought yours were black! You got hired by deceiving us!". In modern US of A it's the Homeboy, not Dave, who will get fired on the spot.
So it's time to join the rest of us in modern times, Homeboy.

If you think that justifies being dishonest to win an election, then I disagree. Not surprising, since I can't remember agreeing with ANYTHING you have ever said.

O.K., you've convinced me. I sure hate those god damn niggers. They are so stupid and lazy. White power! I sure love these "modern" times. Yee haw! I'm gonna go out and vote republican right now.
Then there's this guy, a White Supremacist who DNA tested as 16% Sub-Sahara African.

How about lying 29 times?

Homeboy just got wtfowned!
His claim that being dishonest to win a political battle is unjustified by the other side being wrong or racist reveals his own racism quite clearly. Despite arguing the exact contrary in the "Obama lied" thread!
Sounds like someone we could all safely put on ignore without being in any danger of missing anything important.
Then again, he's good for some cheap entertainment!

That's not justified either. What's your point?
I guess Al Sharpton isn't the only person in the world who can manipulate low information racist blacks for profit.
If you think that justifies being dishonest to win an election...
Twice!!!!
Trice!!!
I don't see what the big deal is. Republicans lie about being conservative. Democrats lie about being liberal. All of them lie about what they will and won't do once in office.
Skin color isn't relevant to how they'll perform on the job, misrepresenting it extremely benign compared to other things politicians lie about, and relatively easy to fact check.

Lying about your race is "extremely benign"? Really? Wow.
He used the name of a well know politician as an endorsement when that politician did not endorse him. If his cousin has the same name, and he does not tell you that he's referring to his cousin rather than the well known politician, how exactly is that "easy to fact check"?
A democrat lies: "WAAAAH! OBAMA LIED!!!! OBAMA LIED!!!! BENGHAZI!!! SOCIALISM!!! Let's start 15 different threads about it and post in them every day."
A republican lies: "I don't see what the big deal is."
You guys are like a bad parody of yourselves.
The saddest thing is the voters aren't claiming to have misvoted due to some policy they like or oppose. They're just upset that they didn't vote for the right black guy
Lol democrats are even dumber then republicans
Your loss! But someone as thick as you can't learn anyway. It would truly be pointless to ingest any more wisdom.
Spaniards, French and Italians are indeed Latinos.
No they are not. They are Latin. Big difference, both culturally and linguistically. Unless you just get a frisson out of lumping Parisians in with Guatemalans. Now, Spain and Portugal are considered Hispanic for many purposes in the United States but that is not the same as Latino. Nowhere are Italy or France considered in the U.S. for gov't minority status.
That's not a lie douchebag.

Wow, the right wing extremists or Jim Crow wanna-bes think that it's funny or that a redneck posed as a black(which is the real funny part considering the hate for blacks by rednecks) to highlight the fact that blacks would prefer to vote for blacks over whites.
As if Obama's skin color didn't have anything to do with the handful of votes that he recieved for prez TWICE, in the south.
AND the rednecks don't know WHY. Gee, what could be the reason?
the hate for blacks by rednecks
rednecks racists ? ... pure myth.. wasnt true prior to year 2000...
so whats worst.. Rednecks or East Coast Liberals (who are the real racists) ?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redneck
Redneck is a derogatory slang term used in reference to poor, uneducated white farmers, especially from the Southern United States. It is similar in meaning to cracker (especially regarding Georgia and Florida), hillbilly (especially regarding Appalachia and the Ozarks),[3] and white trash (but without the last term's suggestions of immorality).
By the 2000s, the term had expanded in meaning to refer to bigoted, loutish reactionaries who are opposed to modern ways,[7] and has often been used to attack white Southern conservatives. The term is used broadly to degrade working class and rural whites that are perceived by urban progressives to be insufficiently liberal.[8] At the same time, some Southern whites have reclaimed the word, using it with pride and defiance as a self-identifier
Racism claims that arise during elections are purely made up fiction just to get poor low information voters out to the polls. Otherwise they won't go out to vote.
It's usual manipulation for personal gain by politicians. Nothing new, most people buy into the scam every election.
Whatever your reasoning, one thing it ain't is a lie.

Never said or implied that it was, and try and contain your glee there, Jim Crow. We get it, you don't like blacks. Should everybody be glad that you aren't advocating lynching someone?
If you weren't so f-n dense, you would have pulled the right wing extremist dumb routine out when I mentioned that blacks don't like to vote for whites, but then you would have to acknowledge the truth of THAT.
If that's what you get from my post, then you are actually the dipshit that you appear to be.
We get it, you don't like blacks.
All politicians pretend to be something they are not-to get elected. What's the big deal-dude is a good politiican.
What's funny is the sight of the racist liberal, handcuffed by the 11th clintonian commandment: "Thou must be PC at all times" , unable to determine what a 'lie' is, and in a hissyfit project their racism across the pixels of your monitor...

Democrats feel entitled to ownership of the black vote. It really ruffles their feathers when someone steals a page out of their book

LOL, and just who is the dipshit? You can't see the obvious reason WHY blacks don't trust and/or vote for whites, and especially when somebody has your attittude or disdain for a group of people.
Notice that it was some f-n redneck that had to lie and mislead with his campaign to pull off some stupid stunt, that somehow validates/vindicates ? to you, and you support the stupidity.
Dipshit? Coming from you, that's a complement, and am I ever glad that we're opposites.
And to think, it was just said in another thread how fucking stupid Right wingers are.
At least the Republican voter knows who they are voting for.
I wonder exactly just how many Obama voters, didn't even know he was black in 2008?
Your numerous posts taught me how to identify and call out a douchebag.
Thanks for the lesson!

That's not a lie douchebag.
Ooh, you called me a name. Guess you win. :rolleyes:
Nothing you've said below changes the fact that the candidate did not lie.
Until you acknowledge that you qualify as a dipshit.

It can't be proven that the votes for him were only made because people thought he was black. Why it's this bring treated like it's a fact?
Politics is a bloodsport at its core. At least, it has always been this way in america and for most of old europe's history. Furthermore, this atricle supports my theory that the reps are likely to try to fracture minority vote in future national elections, such as nominating minorities like jindal, cruz, playa cain etc.

Dave Wilson is white. But to win a seat on the Houston Community College Board of Trustees in a district that is predominantly composed of African-American voters, Wilson, a conservative Republican, led voters to believe he was black.
According to CBS affiliate KHOU-TV, Wilson's direct mail campaign included a flier with smiling black faces he says he found on the Internet. "Please vote for our friend and neighbor Dave Wilson," the accompanying text read.
In another flier, the text said he had been endorsed by Ron Wilson, a popular black former state representative. But the Ron Wilson who endorsed him was Dave's cousin Ron, not the ex-lawmaker.
"He's a nice cousin," Wilson told the network, chuckling. "We played baseball in high school together."
Nevermind his cousin lives in Bloomfield, Iowa, about 940 miles from Houston.
On Tuesday, Wilson defeated Bruce Austin, the 24-year incumbent, by a margin of just 26 votes.
Austin, who is African-American, called Wilson's tactics "disgusting."
"I don't think it's good for both democracy and the whole concept of fair play," he said.
"He never put out to voters that he was white," Austin said in a statement to the Houston Chronicle. "This is one of the few times a white guy has pretended to be a black guy and fooled black people."
But Wilson, who won a six-year term on the nine-member board, is unapologetic.
"Every time a politician talks, he's out there deceiving voters," Wilson said.
Austin said he would seek a recount, but Bob Stein, a political scientist at Rice University, believes the vote will stand.
"I suspect it's more than just race," Stein said. "The Houston Community College was under some criticism for bad performance. And others on the board also had very serious challenges."
