Another day, another Republican official uses a racist term "from their youth" that hasn't been in use for decades.
County Commissioner Jim Gile, 68, of Saline County, Kansas, was in a study session with his fellow commissioners when the subject of hiring an architect to design the repairs for the county's Road and Bridge Department building came up.
Gile, a first-term commissioner who started serving in January, told the county that he preferred to hire an architect over having someone "nigger-rigging it." The Salina Journalreports on what happened next:
His comment brought laughter from others in the room. Salinan Ray Hruska, who attends most commission meetings and study sessions, asked Gile what he said.
"Afro-Americanized," Gile replied.
"He's like that congressman from Alaska," Commission Chairman Randy Duncan can be heard to say of Gile's comment.
Duncan was referring to Rep. Don Young, R-Alaska, who in a recent radio interview called Latino ranch workers at his father's farm "wetbacks."
And just like Rep. Young, Gile too later blamed his "bad choice of words" on having "grown up" around the term.
"I am not a prejudiced person," Gile said in his apology. "I have built Habitat homes for colored people."
He added that he has a close black friend "whom he regards as a sister."
Gile's bumbling attempt at setting the record straight might not be enough to keep calls for his resignation at bay.
Reached for comment by the Huffington Post, State Rep. J.R. Claeys, a Republican who represents Salina (Saline County's county seat), called out the County Commissioners for allowing the use of a term that is obviously discriminatory.
I think every citizen in our county should take a long, hard look at every individual in that room who allowed those comments to slide without immediately correcting and repudiating, not one, but multiple comments that are absolutely unacceptable in private, let alone a public meeting.
Bullshit. You oppose liberty and justice at every turn. You want the government to control virtually everything. You're lying, Assup. But that is your normal state.
Of course a lot of younger people have said the word; Chris Rock, Richard Pryor (when he was younger and alive), George Carlin (when he was younger and alive again), Kramer, etc. So go put your shovel away and step away from the mole hill.
Bullshit. You oppose liberty and justice at every turn. You want the government to control virtually everything. You're lying, Assup. But that is your normal state.
OK Now you need to provide proof of that, you lying sack of shit.
You only assume because I oppose your views that I oppose liberty and justice, but you're full of shit.
Prove yourself true. PLEASE CITE HOW Ive opposed liberty and justice AT EVERY TURN. Show how I WANT THE GOVERNMENT TO CONTROL VIRTUALLY EVERYTHING.
Making shit up is nothing new for you. You do it every day.
You call call me names all you like, but at some point you have to prove yourself. Consider that now.
I am NOT defending his actions; but that comment doesn't make him a racist,,,,he said something that was racial and shouldn't have been said, that DOES NOT make him a racist....
Do you have other similar comments by this person ?
If a single incident can label you a racist; then the minority communities of America are over-populated with racist.......yourself included, you certainly use derogatory racial slurs to make a point, you do it repeatedly................

Who is the racist?
When he called it n-rigging, that was a single dumb comment... But when he was questioned on that and came back with "afroAmericanizing"... Then that went beyond.
Again this isn't about how many racists there are on either side of the aisle. It's about this stupid fuck from Salina Kansas.
And by your arrogance and obstinacy, you ARE defending him.
He's a dipshit redneck who made TWO racial comments. In the same presentation. Does they make him a racist? Who knows. Does defending him make you an asshole?
A Racist Republican From Kansas
