"Sheriff Uncle Ruckus" Clarke in Milwaukee is calling blacks stereotypical names...

I mean, he's been just SOOOOO successful, hasn't he?
(Don't forget this is the same ditwit who claims BLM is going to team up with ISIS.)

Sheriff David Clarke: 'Blacks Sell Drugs' Because They Are 'Lazy' And 'Morally Bankrupt'

Submitted by Isabel Carter-Kahn on Tuesday, 11/3/2015 12:06 pm

Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke, an outspoken critic of President Obama, Black Lives Matter, and LGBT rights, hosts a weekly podcast, “The People’s Sheriff,” on Glenn Beck’s TheBlaze Radio Network. Clarke spent last week’s podcast analyzing a New York Times piece by Harvard professor Sendhil Mullainathan, which argues that while police killings are a race problem, they are a problem that is not necessarily rooted in racial bias on the part of individual officers. During his discussion, Clarke responded to Mullainathan’s claim that low-income African Americans are overrepresented in the population of drug dealers due to fewer job options by alleging that the real reason black people are more likely to have interactions with law enforcement is because of “dysfunctional black subculture.” Clarke continued, “Let me tell you why blacks sell drugs and involve themselves in criminal behavior, instead of a more socially acceptable lifestyle: because they’re uneducated, they’re lazy, and they’re morally bankrupt. That’s why.”

That's kind of a disappointing omission. I hope Mr. People's Sheriff does better next time.

The rest of the developed world would not allow a member of the law enforcement community to use their official position to call for an overthrow of the government.

I don't see it as a cute nickname at all - I always saw Uncle Ruckus was is the bastard child of Wormtounge who happened to be black, rather than a cartoon version of the ubiquitous Uncle "T".

Uncle Ruckus is a character on the animated show. He's a black man who hates his own blackness and hates other black people too. He wishes he was white and worships Ronald Reagan

I sometimes wonder if he isn't the reason minority participation drops in local and county elections.

The R's in the suburbs love him and split their vote in order to pick him up.
