This extremely racist comment from Dick “Turbin” Durbin went mostly unnoticed:
“When we asked questions of the black male nominees of a Democrat president, we were basically trying to find out whether — to make sure that they would go far enough in understanding the plight of whites, because clearly that was not in their DNA.” -Senator Dick Durbin
Of course, that’s not what he really said. What he actually said was:
“When we asked questions of the white male nominees of a Republican president, we were basically trying to find out whether — to make sure that they would go far enough in understanding the plight of minorities, because clearly that was not in their DNA.”-Senator Dick Durbin
Somehow, in polite society, only one of these comments is considered racist, when in fact they both are.
