Trump’s campaign chair in a prominent Ohio county claimed there was “no racism” until Obama was elected and said black people who have not succeeded only have themselves to blame.
Kathy Miller, who is white and was a chair of the Republican nominee’s campaign, made the remarks during a taped interview.
“Growing up as a kid, there was no racism, believe me. We were just all kids going to school.”
Asked about segregation and the civil rights movement, she replied: “I never experienced it. I never saw that as anything.”
Miller added: “I don’t think there was any racism until Obama got elected.”
- If you’re black and you haven’t been successful in the last 50 years, it’s your own fault. You’ve had every opportunity

- “If you’re black and you haven’t been successful in the last 50 years, it’s your own fault. You’ve had every opportunity, it was given to you,” she said.
- “You’ve had the same schools everybody else went to. You had benefits to go to college that white kids didn’t have. You had all the advantages and didn’t take advantage of it. It’s not our fault, certainly.”
Miller also called the Black Lives Matter movement “a stupid waste of time” and said lower voter turnout among African Americans could be related to “the way they’re raised”.
I predict that JPP deplorables will agree with her.
