The high school students (liberal, visiting from New York City) cannot believe what they have just witnessed.

“I don’t understand how aligning yourself with a black person who lived a really long time ago makes you not a racist,” Katie Hirsch, the high school student next to me, says.

“Even aligning yourself with a black person today doesn’t make you not a racist,” her friend Alexandra Barlowe adds. “Can we just talk about how the man just stood up over there and literally asked for segregation?

“The fact that there is a session like this shows how ignorant the Republican Party is in so many ways. The fact that they’re on the defensive about this.”

This particular article has more details than I've seen before. It's really sad that this assclown has not been denounced yet by the RNC.

1. This is why the Republican are doomed

They can not survive without allowing minorities into the tent but for every minority who walks in the front door, two white males will slip out the back door.

2. Lots of additional Terry quotes and info in the article on the link below

Here: http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2013/03/15/1729331/cpac-slavery-minority-outreach/

Besides defending slavery he supports 'segregation', 'no U.S. voting rights for blacks', and 'women to not speak in public'

3. update from your link:

K. Carl Smith, the panelist from Fredrick Douglass Republicans, released a statement following the media storm related to the racist outburst in his panel. Astonishingly, he reserves the brunt of his criticism for the female reporter who raised objections to the comments being made in the room:

I was invited by the Tea Party Patriots to conduct a breakout session entitled: “Trump The Race Card” and share the Frederick Douglass Republican Message. In the middle of my delivery, while discussing the 1848 “Women’s Rights Convention,” I was rudely interrupted by a woman working for the Voice of Russia. She abruptly asked me: “How many black women were there?” This question was intentionally disruptive and coercive with no way of creating a positive dialogue.

In addition, a young man who wasn’t a Tea Party Patriot, made some racially insensitive comments, he said: “Blacks should be happy that the slave master gave them shelter, clothing, and food.” At the conclusion of the breakout session, I further explained to him the Frederick Douglass Republican Message which he embraced, bought a book, and we left as friends.

4. The part below is what I was referring to (but thanks for letting me know about the update)

-snip-

ThinkProgress spoke with Terry, who sported a Rick Santorum sticker and attended CPAC with a friend who wore a Confederate Flag-emblazoned t-shirt, about his views after the panel. Terry maintained that white people have been “systematically disenfranchised” by federal legislation.

When asked by ThinkProgress if he’d accept a society where African-Americans were permanently subservient to whites, he said “I’d be fine with that.” He also claimed that African-Americans “should be allowed to vote in Africa,” and that “all the Tea Parties” were concerned with the same racial problems that he was.

At one point, a woman challenged him on the Republican Party’s roots, to which Terry responded, “I didn’t know the legacy of the Republican Party included women correcting men in public.”

6. I like the Kevin Hart joke, "there's nothing more racist ...

than having one black friend." If you refer to someone or make reference to your one black friend, you're a racist. It's like when you say "I don't mean to sound racist, but.." Some very racist shit is about to come outta your mouth.
