Independent Buffalo Congressional Candidate Jack Davis Says Deport Latino Farmworkers, Replace with Inner City Blacks to Pick Crops

Independent Congressional candidate Jack Davis stuns Buffalo GOP leaders by saying Latino farm workers be deported and replaced with inner-city blacks to pick crops.

Independent Congressional candidate Jack Davis shocked just about every Buffalo GOP leaders with his racist comments suggesting that Latino farmworkers be deported and that African-Americans from the inner city be bused to farm country to pick the crops. Is that like black slaves picking cotton for the massa? Why not bus in the poor white people in New York State and nearby states to pick the crops? Why do we constantly interject race in every dogfight? Um, this is the same party that says it wants to go after the black and Latino vote. Really? Let's see how far they go 2012. Please, please, nominate Sarah Palin or Michelle Bachmann to be the next Republican Party presidential nominee and this idiot, Jack Davis, as the vice presidential candidate.

Several sources who were in the Feb. 20 endorsement interview with Davis confirmed his comments, which echo those he made to the Tonawanda News in 2008, when he said: "We have a huge unemployment problem with black youth in our cities. Put them on buses, take them out there [to the farms] and pay them a decent wage; they will work."

When Davis repeated those sentiments in the recent interview, the Republican leaders -- who later delivered the party endorsement for the vacant seat in the 26th Congressional District to Assemblywoman Jane L. Corwin of Clarence -- said they couldn't believe what they were hearing.

"I was thunderstruck," said Amherst GOP Chairman Marshall Wood. "Maybe in 1860 that might have been seen by some as an appropriate comment, but not now." Davis spokesman W. Curtis Ellis acknowledged that Davis' comments "may not be politically correct and ... may not be racially correct." Source: Buffalo News

I can't stand a politician who tries to justify an obviously insensitive statement as a just one. Where has Jack Davis been? I'm sure there are some trailer parks in his city, why not round up those residents to pick crops? The seat he is vying for was vacated by "bare-chested Craig's List married Republican hypocrite" Rep. Chris Lee.
