Alabama Republican Loses Election & GOES INSANE: ‘I Lost. The N***er Won’

GOP Mayor Patsy Capshaw Skipper grumbled on Facebook when a friend asked about this week’s election. This once again goes to show: If Republicans truly hate being called out as racists, maybe they should stop doing and saying racist things.

WTVY reports Midland City, Ala.’s current Mayor, Patsy Capshaw Skipper, lost her seat to Jo Ann Bennet Grimsley. The mayor-elect certainly has a lot of experience: She’s worked for Dale County for 27 years as an assistant city clerk, a water clerk, and then a court clerk. Skipper, on the other hand, took over as interim mayor in February when health issues forced her husband Virgil to retire.

In a veiled dig at the now-obvious pervasive racism in City Hall, Jo Ann Bennet Grimsley told reporters:
‘I wear many hats. And I know I’m going to make a good mayor for all the people, not for some, all the people of midland city, because I love my community and I love midland city and all the people that’s here.’

Voters must have agreed with the above assessment because Jo Ann Bennet Grimsley won 233 to Patsy Capshaw Skipper’s 148. And apparently, Skipper’s both a sore loser and a racist. Rae Cloyd found this on her Facebook feed and took a screenshot.

Gosh, I love our post-racial society!

[hatrack]

1. Gosh, she seems like a lovely person . . .

They really don't want to even pretend any more, do they?

[Wounded Bear]

7. They never wanted to pretend...

The whole "political correctness" line of bullshit is just whining that they "aren't allowed" to spew racist bullshit like that.

They want to be honest about their hatred and bigotry.

[hatrack]

53. And they want to do so without consequences . . .

Next up in Trumperica - a lawsuit from someone who didn't get the job because they said "n****r" repeatedly in their interview and were "oppressed" as a result.

At this point I'm pretty much counting the days until this hits the headlines.

[bravenak]

2. Holy

SHIT.

[Lucky Luciano]

11. You are the last person I would expect to be surprised!

They don't mind going alt-right all the time!

[bravenak]

12. Just surprised she typed it out on facebook

I bet she tweets it next
She obviously has no sense

[Spitfire of ATJ]

14. Why would that surprise you? They're idiots.

[bravenak]

15. I find myself surprised by idiots all the time.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

16. Too many of them around these days to be surprised.

[bravenak]

17. They are devolving

I had hoped for better

[Spitfire of ATJ]

18. In Alabama???

[bravenak]

19. HEY! My daddy from there

Of course i hope, still got people down that way

[sheshe2]

21. Sweet Home Alabama!

Love the win hate the witch!

[bravenak]

24. We are all connected

If not for Alabama, my Sweet potato pie might be pumkin. and Lord knows i make a mess of pies for these people around here. They miss home and the pies give them a taste of home.

[sheshe2]

27. Never had sweet potatoe pie...

Yet if is like pumpkin, one of my favs!

Will try it on thanksgiving!

[bravenak]

28. Most folks love both

Try it an see if you don't fall in love. patty laBelle has a recipe somewhere

[sheshe2]

33. Found it!

[bravenak]

35. This is one of the best ones.

make sure you adjust the sugar to your pallette! i DO!

[sheshe2]

39. Sounds great!

I won't tell my family...we have had to adjust to a vegan, so there has been a lot of change. Mom has had the hardest time adjusting. She is set in her ways, then again, she is 90!

[bravenak]

42. oh good!

Mom will be the main one loving that pie.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

25. Than you should KNOW.

[bravenak]

30. I do. Yet I remain hopeful

Lots of good folks down there who would not appreciate seeing that shit. Good they voted her out. SEE? they are better than she is.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

36. Good point. Hate gets old.

[SusanCalvin]

40. Ain't it strange

How one never gets used to teh stoopid....?

[bravenak]

41. I believe that only the stupid can get a type of immunity from it

[Tortmaster]

49. According to this news report, she is ...

... denying it, claiming that her computer was hacked. Or, at least her husband Virgil is denying that she did it.

What are the odds that Anonymous would be meddling in an Alabama election involving a total of 381 votes? And why wouldn't the hacker meddle with her account before the election?

She got caught red-handed.

[bullwinkle428]

55. BWAH-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!!! I KNEW IT!! When this OP was posted last night, I was on

the verge of replying with a list of excuses this woman was going to come up with to explain her vile post. I believe it would look a little something like this:

1. My account was hacked! (check)

2. Facebook is really tricky, and I don't understand how all the settings work! (check)

3. In this part of the country, that word is used all the time by everybody, so I don't see the big deal!

4. "Those people" use that word all the time - why can't I? WAAAAAHHHHHH!!!

[SusanCalvin]

31. And with any luck,

So-called "people" like this are going DOWN.

[bravenak]

32. Hell yeah

They are showing out and everybody else is getting fed up. maybe the gop will finally die?

[SusanCalvin]

37. Dancing on their grave!

At least in the current incarnation.

Don't forget they've both been €£¥¢ed up at one point or another.

[bravenak]

38. damn true

the old 1800's dem party was nothing to be proud of, but the trajectory tells the tale. SAd to see the freedom party become the kkk party. but their loss is our gain. We worked hard to get the hate out of the democratic party, we failed until we won.

[fierywoman]

3. one creep down ...

... many more to go!

[First Speaker]

4. She has a bright future in the Trump White House...

[struggle4progress]

5. Yet another of the many mysteries of life

[major debacle]

10. And likely to remain so:

Midland City mayor denies she made racially charged Facebook comment

Midland City Mayor Patsy Capshaw Skipper said she hasn’t been able to use her Facebook account for several weeks and did not post a racially charged comment about the woman who won Tuesday night’s mayoral election.

A screenshot of Skipper’s Facebook page, which was not viewable by those not on her friend’s list, showed a short exchange from Skipper’s account and another person. When asked about the results of the election, the reply on Skipper’s Facebook account included the racially charged comment.

“My Facebook has been messed up for several weeks and I haven’t been using it,” Skipper said when contacted Wednesday night by the Dothan Eagle. “I think I’ve been hacked.” Skipper said she just underwent heart surgery and couldn’t even get out and campaign for the election. “And that, my Facebook, has been the least of my worries,” she said.

6. It is telling that Belinda Thompson did not

comment on the ethnic slur. I would like to know more about Belinda Thompson as well. I suspect that in non-mixed company this language is common.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

13. Non-mixed?

Are you saying you suspect this is how white people typically talk to each other? From my experience it is not.

[OldRedneck]

20. You clearly don't have experience with Southern white people

I'm an old white man. 71, born and reared in Wilkinson County, Mississippi; great-great-grandson of slave owners; great-grandson of KKK Grand Wizard. I was fortunate to receive a scholarship to a college outside the South. At age 19 I walked out of the Baptist Church and never looked back. 28 years in the Army.

This is my experience as of today with white Southerners.

Cousin #1. Wealthy. Inherited his father's small business and grew it into a huge family-owned business. MA in Electrical Engineering. He's worth about $100 million. He refers to his black workers as "niggers" and "coons;" refers to his Hispanic workers as "wetbacks" and "greasers."

Cousin #2. Master machinist with BA in metallurgical engineering. All black people are "niggers." All Hispanics are "wetbacks." All Middle Easterners are "ragheads."

Cousin #3. Registered nurse; specialty is cardiac surgical nursing. The black physicians with whom she works are "nigger doctors." The Indian cardiologist with whom she works occasionally is a "raghead."

Need I continue to tell you about Cousins #4, #5, and #6? It's the same story. These are well-educated people who read and travel; who are respected in their communities; who are deacons in their Baptist church; who are officers in their county Republican parties. Cousin #1 has endowed a chair at a major Southern university. Every single one of them delights in telling "nigger jokes," "queer jokes," and Hillary jokes. And their white friends and white colleagues are EXACTLY LIKE THEM.

Yes, this IS the way white Southerners talk . . . today . . . in the 21st Century.

[Hekate]

47. Old Red, that is depressing as hell. I'm glad you got that scholarship and got out.

Wow.

[d_r]

52. I know they are out there

but I come in contact with NO ONE that uses that language. I am 48, and I heard that all the time when I was a child but I haven't heard it at all in the last 20 years. Maybe I send out too clear of a signal that I'm not "safe" or something.

[JanMichael]

23. In mine it is very common. I have other "crackers" using language like that frequently.

Seriously white people say shit to other white people that you would shock you (at least it does me and I have acted on it in a work setting and in a personal setting). Yes I am in the south but that also happened years ago out west and in the mid-west.

[hunter]

44. Western racism is a different flavor of the same old shit.

My grandpa was a truly progressive man for his time. His friends and coworkers were diverse, black, gay, Jewish, "Latin," no problem, a Hollywood sort of liberal.

Until I decided to marry, in his words, "a Mexican girl." Men in his Wild West family might date Mexican girls for fun, but they did not marry them. He did not come to our wedding.

To his credit, he got over that, but growing up I heard a lot of racist crap from older family. Maybe not so overt as might be heard in the south, but just as strong.

There were "sundown towns" in California as bad as anywhere else. I grew up in an 99 44/100 Ivory Soap white community that was hostile to anyone who wasn't white. DWB harassment was a favorite sport of the police department and real estate agents and lenders somehow couldn't find homes for people who were not white.

When my mom and dad retired they fled, and me and all my siblings fled.

Frankly places where everyone is white creep me out, maybe because I was called queerbait in middle and high school and it was white guys who'd beat me bloody.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

54. Very uncommon in New England

I'm never seen anyone use that sort of language other than from strangers online and on tv.

[exboyfil]

26. Not necessarily typical

but quite possibly in her social group.

I saw it regularly in Tennessee when I lived there for five years in my 30s. Friends of ours who were African American (he was a doctor) were regularly insulted, and the mom was warned off of taking her child to the restroom in one of our small towns near our city (Cookeville).

I may have been less aware of it when I was in high school in Mississippi, but I must have had the attitude somewhat as well because my half brother (who lived with his mom) called me up short about it. I can never remember using the n word though. I did have African American friends in high school, but not many given that about 30% of the school was African Americans.

My mom who is originally from West Virginia still regularly uses the n word (she is in her early 70s). I had my grandpa explain to me when I was a teenager how every black girl who was born should be sterilized.

8. She was a good replacement for her husband

"As it turns out, the “health issues” that caused Patsy Capshaw Skipper’s husband to resign may have had a lot to do with the allegations of various types of corruption that plagued him. Most prominent among these, according to Dothan First, are reports of poll workers being segregated by color and possible voter fraud."

[major debacle]

9. Interersting demographic for Midland City, Alabama

It is 70.58% White and 25.19% Black or African American, according to Wikipedia, and yet the White candidate lost to the Black candidate 39% to 61%.

Must be that Democrat voter fraud I've been reading so much about lately

[SusanCalvin]

34. Wahoo!

Apparently they recognize jerks when they see them!

[allan01]

22. im not suprized. the whole political correctness thing is a rw sham.

[Person 2713]

29. Big time

[catbyte]

43. I'm expecting an announcement from the Trump campaign that they've hired her as their new

state coordinator. Unbelievable. Don't these dumbasses realize t h at EVERYBODY can read their posts and not just their asshole bigoted buddies? Christ on a cracker.

[rbrnmw]

45. I am glad they are all out with it

I bet this one has a sign from the good ole days sayin whites only

[Chitown Kev]

46. K & R and thank you, KamaAina

Linked to this story somewhere else...it (racism, that is) never ceases, it seems.

[smirkymonkey]

48. Bwahahahah!

Serves her right!

[LeftRant]

50. Someone needs to investigate her 27 years of public service.

She must have made thousands of discriminatory decisions.

[riversedge]

51. Her bigotry got shown--has nothing to do with insanity.

[Initech]

56. But... but... racism is dead!!!
