Also, 50 years ago was the 60's and I remember segregated bathrooms, restaurants, buses, so no, things are not as bad as they were then and that person is a total liar and racist. Wait, she's a Drumpf supporter, so there I go repeating myself.

It sounds like she wasn't aware of racism in her lily white community until the Obama administration served her up a fresh helping of reality on a plate.

No racism before Obama...she should be compelled to audit a history class.

Uh.... just stop at "I don't think"....you fucking moron.

Of course she really doesn't believe this. You just know when she's lying there trying to fall asleep at night she's thinking: "That damn Obama! Everything was fine until he got elected. Blacks were in their place until then!"....which of course is what her statement really means....with a touch of "Blacks are too stupid to make it." See.... no racism!

What a waste of oxygen this double-plus Newspeak harridan is. Surely she noticed the Civil War happening out her window if she doesn't remember the last 50 years.

She's not serious. How do these Trumpophants say such idiotic things with a straight face? If she really is that stupid and not just trying to pull the right wing Jedi gaslight mind trick of straight-faced backwards-day lying, she doesn't qualify for any job. I mean, McDonalds will fire employees who repeatedly poke their eye instead of the French fry button.

They get enough people to repeat the same lie, then the brain-dead will repeat more it via twitter and chain email and Facebook, then there's enough of the lie staining the internet that the media senses a trend, and you get that evil "lie with a question mark isn't slander" in the crawl: Hillary Employs Child Laborers in Alpaca Slaughterhouse in Iran?

I've started doing it back to zealots in other forums. "You're such a lib-tard, you don't even know how Hillary ordered and carried out the murder of over 300 people who opposed her!" "Oh right, well, you obviously haven't seen the video of Trump's immigrant transsexual orgy at his Taj Mahal Casino."

Yeah, I mean, come on now. That whole segregation thing. That was nothing. Just a minor inconvenience.

All the uses of the N-word the last 100 years... eh, just give them a thesaurus, and problem solved!

Oh, and that thing with Jackie Robinson in 1947, hey, African-Americans were allowed to play baseball right? They just didn't want to....

All those Jim Crow laws were just so African-Americans wouldn't have to be inconvenienced by taking the time and effort to vote. See, white Southerners have only the best intentions!

All those drinking fountains and bathrooms labeled "white only" or "for colored" were for convenience, so African-Americans wouldn't have to stand in those long lines. How thoughtful!

During World War II, hey, people not accepting the blood of African-Americans for transfusion because they didn't want to catch "that black stuff", was just dandy.

Also, during World War II, not assigning African-American soldiers to certain arenas of combat or service because "they can't see at night" or "they aren't good swimmers" was simply for their protection! Nothing sinister there!

The 40 year long Tuskegee Experiment and Study was just good government research. Hey, it was coincidental that it involved only African-Americans that were intentionally being infected with syphilis and then allowed to suffer and die, to gauge the effects.

All those lynchings and hangings in the South and Midwest of black people, well, hey, that's just coincidence. All those African-Americans were just clumsy and fell into those nooses that were really there to catch... um... owls, yeah that's it, owls.

The Al Jolson "blackface" thing? Dude just fell into a pile of coal and didn't have time to wipe it off before he went on stage.

Slavery? Hey, come on, those guys had really good job security, food, and a roof over their heads. Those "slavemasters" really kept good care of them. What's to complain about? It's not like the African-Americans on these plantations were whipped, beaten, and raped, were they?

So yes, there was no racism before 2008. Because, you know, Kathy Miller said so. The last 300 years was just oh, one big scripted reality TV show.

Lynching in America: Confronting the Legacy of Racial Terror

Lynching in America: Confronting the Legacy of Racial Terror documents EJI’s multi-year investigation into lynching in twelve Southern states during the period between Reconstruction and World War II.

EJI researchers documented 4075 racial terror lynchings of African Americans in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia between 1877 and 1950 – at least 800 more lynchings of black people in these states than previously reported in the most comprehensive work done on lynching to date.

Lynching in America makes the case that lynching of African Americans was terrorism, a widely supported phenomenon used to enforce racial subordination and segregation.

Trump and his supporters are vile bigots and willfully ignorant idiots!

I'm from Mahoning county and there are three things I know for sure about Kathy Miller,1. she's a former Boardman (OH) Township Trustee,(Boardman is an affluent suburb south of Youngstown OH), 2. She's a licensed Realtor (selling houses in an even more affluent community than Boardman) and 3. she's STUPID.

Update: Now on the local television news report, Kathy's claiming the interview was a "Hit piece" because SHE never encountered racism growing up in the 1960's and that the interviewer was trying to get her to say that "Trump's a racist". You can't fix STUPID !!!!
