Arizona state lawmaker: African-Americans 'don't blend in'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A Republican state lawmaker in Arizona was recorded saying African-Americans “don’t blend in” and calling non-native English speaking students a “burden on taxpayers.”

Arizona Rep. David Stringer made the comments earlier this month after an Arizona State University lecture on the results of this month’s midterm elections, The Phoenix New Times reported Friday.

Three students are heard on the audio confronting Stringer, who has made controversial comments about immigration and diversity in the past.

Stringer is heard on the audio saying “diversity in our country is relatively new.”

ASU sophomore Stephen Chumra responded by citing immigration from Ireland and Italy.

"They were all European," Stringer said. "So after their second or third generation, everybody looks the same. Everybody talks the same. That's not the case with African-Americans and other racial groups because they don't melt in. They don't blend in. They always look different."

"Why does looking different matter?" Chumra asked.

1. My first reaction is wanting to smack people like him.

But smacking them won't make them less stupid and I'll only feel better for a few seconds.

My second reaction is disgust.

Followed closely by the nudging reminder that there are far too many people like him in America.

Which makes me angry. Tired and angry.
