Democratic candidate for Alabama AG denies Holocaust occurred

A Democratic candidate for Alabama attorney general denies the Holocaust occurred and said Friday he will speak this weekend in New Jersey to a "pro-white" organization that is widely viewed as being racist.

Larry Darby concedes his views are radical, but he said they should help him win wide support among Alabama voters as he tries to "reawaken white racial awareness" with his campaign against Mobile County District Attorney John Tyson.

"It's time to stop pushing down the white man. We've been discriminated against too long," Darby said in the interview.

Let's see how many votes he gets. Very few white people share any of these views.

In Alabama? You'll be surprised how many white people share these views.

Apparently you would be surprised by how few. Let's see how the voting goes. On what basis do you believe a significant fraction of whites believe these ideas today in Alabama?

Nadir said...

As you said, we'll see how the voting goes, though it looks like the Alabama Democratic Party may withdraw support. That could lessen the turnout in his favor.

Nadir: What a massive change since the 1960s, if the democrats withdraw their support.

Nadir said...

Well, it has been 40 years. It's about time we have some change...

Well, the change I'm sure has been in place for a couple of decades now. Did you see how fast the black girls got a police response -- three cops! -- to mere charges that some white college kids called them "nigger" (which isn't even a crime) in Durham, NC?
