Rep. Glenn Grothman: 'Race Relations Were Very Good' Until Obama Took Office

Submitted by Miranda Blue on Wednesday, 7/13/2016 1:09 pm

Rep. Glenn Grothman, R-Wisc., said yesterday that while “race relations were very good” when President Obama took office, the president has made things worse by meeting with Al Sharpton and praising Black Lives Matter, claiming that Obama could help make things better by discouraging “black America” from having “anything to do” with either.

If memory works,your area is one of the Tea Billy hot beds. All those small towns and villages took quite a hit with various trade agreements and nothing was put in place to off set these financial events. It has always been the popular thing in many parts of Wisconsin for the Rethugs to use Racial dog whistles. And with the Media predominantly controlled by Gannett,and by the old Clear Channel,the hate message sells.
