WASHINGTON -- Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) says the proper way to address racial issues in America is by concentrating on what brings people together rather than focusing on "racial discord." Doing the latter, the presidential candidate argued Sunday, could risk generating even more unrest.

Walker was campaigning outside a restaurant in Spartanburg, South Carolina, when a reporter asked him about the anniversary of the death of teenager Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and what it portends for race relations in South Carolina. The governor answered that Americans should emulate the families of the victims of the Charleston church shooting.

"One, I think in general if anyone focuses on racial discord we’re going to get more," Walker said in a video posted by Democratic opposition research firm American Bridge. "If we focus on unity we’re going to get more of that. The families of the massacre in Charleston showed us the way."

"Even days after the horrific shooting, the emotion they showed, the willingness to try and bring Charleston, this state, this country together. I think it’s a prime example if we focus on things that unite us, ways to share the American dream," he said.............

1. Spoken like a privileged jackass. Like a child who thinks if he covers his eyes we can't see him.

Object permanence, asshole.

2. Funny, I would have thought that focusing on what brings us together . . .

Is an essential part of focusing on what drives us apart. Silly me.

[DonCoquixote]

3. the fact is

you can focus on what brings us together, but completely IGNORE what is bringing us apart, especially if it is on your interest (read privilege) to do so. This country was founded on that idea, as for every Simon Lagree, there were several dozen "nice people" who even if they did not own slaves, supported the Simon Lagree's right to do just that.

True reconciliation is NEVER painless.

4. How did this dreg ever manage to get heard, anywhere? He's stupid, vicious, and unworthy.

It's impossible to believe there are so many idiots in Wisconsin he could ever be elected for any office.

He's telling us not to "stir things up," or we will learn it can get savagely even worse. #### him. This is NOT a world created to be infested by right-wing monsters. We are not destined to let them control us.

Have never seen a photo of that vile face which didn't look sub-human.

12. Let's all not-focus on Walker..

13. does that work for abortions too?

So far, we have been, by and large, "letting" the GOP get away with their restrictions. I expect there to come a point when they finally get slapped down and cut the shit out.
