Georgia Retrumplican displays racist book in Congressional office
Source: Raw Story
A federal labor union has asked for a formal apology from a Georgia Republican after spotting a historical book in his office that promoted Confederate ideology.
The open book displayed this passage: “The blacks are immeasurably better off here than in Africa, morally, socially, and physically. The painful discipline they are undergoing is necessary for their instruction as a race, and, I hope, will prepare and lead them to better things.”
Octavius Miller, who works with the Transportation Security Administration, said he noticed the book in a glass case in the reception area, and he was shocked by what he read as he waited to meet Ferguson.
“The fact that this passage feels that me and my ancestors of color are immeasurably better off in the United States of America being slaves than we were in Africa, that is so disrespectful,” Miller said. “My first reaction was to flip this little case upside down, and I had to think about why I was there, what I do for a living, but the disrespect and the inattention to everything that people who are colored like myself and the pigmentation of my skin had to deal with … it enraged me.”

Surprisingly, I've seen little coverage of this in the media, and I've not heard one Retrumplican call for this Congressman's resignation.
Douchebag didn't just have it in his office, he had it in a display case with the book opened to a disgusting and deplorable racist page...

"IT'S O.K. IF YOU ARE A REPUBLICAN." (IOKIYAAR). Of course no rePukes have called for his resignation.
Reagan's 11th commandment: "Thou shalt not speak ill of thy fellow Republican." Sad stuff, but true.
