Peter Navarro, WH Trade Advisor: "I'm a Californian. We don't see race out there. So, you know it's like I live my life in a race-blind world, and it troubles me that we have so much of this discussion when in fact we have got real problems in this country."

What a strange little man.

1. STFU . . .

I saw him on CNN this morning. He is a looney.

[C_U_L8R]

2. Rarified view of the world from his gated community.

Insufferable jerk.

[fleur-de-lisa]

3. Whenever anyone vomits up the phrases "I don't see race" or "race-blind"

I know immediately the speaker is both a racist and a liar.

17. Didja notice his other tricks?

"I don't see the problem and we shouldn't be talking about THIS when there are so many REAL problems to focus on".

Plus, he said his state doesn't have "the problem" so why worry about it, when he is talking about a national problem.

[fleur-de-lisa]

19. Yep. But what is Dump focused on, Navarro?

Stopping the spread of the TrumPlague? - NOPE!

Unemployment due to TrumPlague? NOPE!

Feeding folks who have been laid off due to TrumPlague? NOPE!

Navarro wants the media and Democrats to stop talking about racial issues, but what is the supposed leader of the free world doing? TWEETING RACIST GARBAGE! Fix your own house first, Navarro.

4. Ever notice how it's always some entitled white asshole who "doesn't see race?"

Funny how that works, right?

10. +1. The worst racists on Trump's staff are from California: Navarro and Miller.

[cwydro]

5. Now that's funny.

Guess he's missed a lot of recent videos of all the "Karens and Kevins" who seem to live there.

[dalton99a]

6. Yeah, there are no white people calling 911 on people of color in California

7. Sure, Pete, let's talk about California's Proposition 209.

California passed Proposition 209 in 1996, barring state and local agencies from considering race, ethnicity or gender in hiring and public university admission. In reality Prop 209 was an astroturf "citizen initiative." Well-funded rightwing groups ginned up support for Prop 209 as a backlash against existing affirmative action programs that had given women and people of color a small boost in an unfair system.

8. Anecdotal, Navarro - you'll have to do better than that.

I love it when people with power expect everyone else to simply take their word for it. Azzholes.

[chia]

9. What fresh craziness is this? Of course there's racism in California. We're not immune.

[bobbieinok]

11. In 90s, a black student from CA said she 1st faced serious prejudice in the OK dorm!

[DBoon]

12. "I'm a Californian. Peter Navarro is full of crap"

[hunter]

13. I'll bet he's got a black friend too...

Trump surrounds himself with dangerous idiots.

[still_one]

14. of course he doesn't, he is a republican white guy

[wryter2000]

15. He doesn't live in California

He lives in a state of perpetual denial and fantasy.

[Wawannabe]

16. A name
