Kentucky Governor: Black Kids Playing Chess 'Not Something You Would've Thought of...'

[lunasun]

16. It's insulting because chess has a history in the black community in many places

What he said doesn't translate and I'm sure he was looking for Jordans and any other brand names
just like the article called out, because he has preconceived bigot ideas about how different that school would be from a white school and it backfired due to his idiocy that he mentions how unusual chess is at a black school

Imagine if someone made a big deal that you could count to fifty and amazed that you knew how to pronounce every number and commented to others how surprised they are that you being you could do that aren't we all amazed?

it is just not a posture thing at all to say IMO

Although I understand his appeal to his voters but I think this comment on the article said it well>

This is the board game equivalent of calling a black person articulate.

I would say insulting or ldisappointing racist BS more than using the extreme word hateful
The article did not give the nuance that he was being hateful IMO ,
He is an idiot and let's hope we can expect more than hateful comments when visiting citizens of his state
I don't things have gotten bad , just some like him can not open past color and that's before trump but yes, certainly no push to change now
Chess is a very common board game amongst African Americans, at least in big cities with high AA population you see a lot more black people who are the top chess players
