White Republican Confounds Constituents

[Cancel 2016.11]

A white Republican has completely confounded his constituents by revealing that he is actually white:

"I come out and tell him the story. I said I've had a tough week, let me tell ya. Find daughter, great. Find out it's not daughter, blitz. Say something nice to a reporter, get attacked," Cohen recalled. "I said it's just been hell. He goes, 'Man, you're black. And I took it as a compliment. I hear it in Memphis all the time. My constituents don't look at me as a white person." story here

You can see why it came as such a shock, because when I saw his picture that ran with the story, my first thought was, "man, when did Spike Lee get elected to Congress?"

they are getting really confused on how to deal with this issue

I love it because now they have moved beyond the imbecilic "i don't see color" to "dude, no one even suspects that I'm a white guy!" It is beyond hilarious.

To be fair to Mr Cohen, he does bear an uncanny resemblance to, former two-time heavyweight champion of the world, Riddick 'Big Daddy' Bowe. Uncanny.

I can't believe you were the first to pick that up. I was hoping the righties would go nuts, but nothing. LOL You would think at least Superfreak would have jumped on it like a duck on a junebug...

Yes, Democrats can be clueless on race. Interesting isn't it? Some of them are "colorblind" and some of them think they are black.

I've never considered myself a Democrat.

As for the "color blind" thing, I knew it would open me up to some ridicule, but it's never really registered w/ me past the 1st couple of seconds. That's just the truth; to me, it's always been weird that others obsess over it.

And I mean obsess - like really focus on it 24x7.

can you prove that with past posts of yours?

It's how I am, desh. I only posted about it reluctantly in another thread to make a point; I don't go gabbing about it all of the time.

You're one of the ones who obsess about it 24x7, btw. I mean, you want to get rid of racism, but are always focused on the "differences" & the colors...don't you see a quandary there?

Finally read the article (before just looked at the pic)

He really is old-school, isn't he?

Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) said Monday he had been "attacked" for telling a female reporter that she was "very attractive" last week when she tried to interview him about his recent problems.

yeah, well, you go around telling women they're attractive instead of focusing on their job - that's a problem.
