Republican JP candidate: Blacks 'blame slavery' for problems they caused

In response to an Instagram post showing support for Black Lives Matter demonstrators, GOP justice of the peace candidate Michael Irish wrote that it was “time to start putting these idiots in their place.”

Irish, who is running to be a justice of the peace in the Moon Valley district in north Phoenix, also said that Black Americans were actually to blame for the police violence against George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Dion Johnson and others that sparked nationwide Black Lives Matter protests calling for an end to systemic racism in policing.

“Blacks cause a lot of their own inherent problems and when s— hits the fan they want to blame slavery or others for those problems,” he wrote in a direct message to Silvia Gonzalez last month in response to a public post she made expressing support of the Black Lives Matter movement.

In the June 28 messages, he said the BLM protests were “significantly overplayed” and contrasted “protesting properly” with violence that erupted in some cities during protests several weeks earlier and the “autonomous zone” that protesters created in Seattle in early June.

Peaceful protests in government-designated "Free Speech Zones" get ignored; taking a knee on the field gets one called a "son of a b****" by the Filthy-Pig-Turd-in-Chief; peaceful protests outside the FSZ get tear-gassed.

Tell us more about "protesting properly," you nauseating asshole.

I've always said: If you can't handle peaceful protest, you sure as hell won't like the other kind.


"(heavy accent) Reh vo loo she on."
"I'm sorry darling, I'm ever so certain I don't speak that ghastly taco-language of yours."
"Revolution."
"(terrified) That's what I thought you said!"
