Cliven Bundy: I can't be racist, I know a black guy

[Cali_Democrat]

Asked by Jones on the radio if he would like the Times to issue a correction, Bundy said, "I would appreciate that. I think they should do that. They make it a racist-type thing. I'm not racist." He went on to say that he knows a black man. "He's been in and out of my home ... I think he feels welcome as anybody else."

1. Hasn't anybody told Bundy rule #1?

If you're in a hole, stop digging.

[el_bryanto]

7. I don't know - that rule never made sense to me

I mean if you dig an enormous hole nobody can see you, right? Unless they look down the hole? And wouldn't it be best for all of us (including Bundy) if nobody could see him?

22. But now that he's in his hole, can we just cover him up and forget about him?

[MohRokTah]

23. After listneing to his "press conference" today...

He's pulling the dirt down over himself. We don't need to lift a finger.

[shenmue]

2. Yes, he's racist

In other news, the world is round.

3. Gee, I never saw that coming. nt

[Tommy_Carcetti]

4. But is he friends with The Blacks?

Because the only way I know you can't be racist is if you are friends with The Blacks.

[Arugula Latte]

9. That's unclear, but he does know all about The Negro.

Apparently there's only one of those.

14. A black!

One. One black man he knows. Did't say he was his friend. He just knows him and he is as welcome in his home as anyone else. I don't think he gets many visitors.

16. Donald Trump says whoopty doo.

He has a great relationship with The Blacks.

26. Does "the blacks" mean all of them?

[VanillaRhapsody]

5. Notice he didn't say yet...."My best friend is Black"

Wonder if his Black friend is getting any calls from Bundy to make an appearance with him?

[arcane1]

8. I'm wondering if he's having second thoughts about defending him, too!

[2pooped2pop]

6. did he say He's been in and out of my home" or opens the door for others to come in and out

of my home? Butlers don't count dude.

lol, this guy is a hoot.

[VanillaRhapsody]

10. He comes in and out of his home.....but only through the back door!

[Tommy_Carcetti]

12. Maybe its the guy who does volunteer cotton picking for him. nt

[haele]

11. I figure it's the plumber or some other tradesman who regularly comes in.

Some guy who feels welcome as anyone else because he's getting paid. I doubt the black man Bundy knows would dare leave the road to step foot on the Bundy ranch proper without getting a request to come over first.
Bundy seems to be the type where everyone around him has to know their place, or he makes life miserable for them.

13. He knows a blah man?

And he let him in his home? Musta been one of us good cotton picking nigras.

[NightWatcher]

15. if you ever say "I've got a black friend" Two things: 1. he's not your friend and

2. You're a racist

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

17. Perhaps, that black man he knows will volunteer to be his slave so

he "can have a family structure" and "something to do."

[Rex]

18. Is the standard cry from a racist RWing asshole.

So what if you 'know' someone! How do you treat them is the real question.

[Cali_Democrat]

27. Yup. nt

[951-Riverside]

19. The guy was standing right next to Bundy when he said something like "Black negro people" today

I'd love to see the reaction shot. I hope a news organization got it.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

20. Can't wait to hear Sean Hannity's defense of this moron

[ProSense]

21. Does he

"Cliven Bundy: I can't be racist, I know a black guy"

...think the "black guy" would be better off as his "slave"?

These racist shitheads don't know how stupid they sound.

[Lex]

25. 'I know a black man. I haven't shot him.

See, how can I be racist?' - the translated version
