Former New York gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino is facing backlash on social media for a racist remark about first lady Michelle Obama published Thursday in a Buffalo alt-weekly publication.
Paladino, who was honorary co-chair of President-elect Donald Trump's New York campaign, was one of a few dozen prominent Buffalo figures surveyed by Artvoice for an end-of-the-year feature on their hopes for 2017.
In response to a question about who should "go away," Paladino suggested the first lady should "return to being a male" and move to an African cave.

Trump and the GOP are facing a dilemma as old as America: once racist hate has inflamed the mob so that the party achieves its objectives, how do you turn off the spigot before the excess starts to hurt you? The balancing act is trickier than ever before because black Americans have more power and broader support than ever before. Tickling the bubbas without provoking a backlash takes skill that comes from experience. Jeff Sessions is one of the old time white racists who knows the balancing act very well. Donald Trump? We'll wait and see...

It was liberals spreading hatred of conservatives which led to a backlash and the Democratic Party defeats...Liberals continue to ignore warnings that could prevent their future defeats, because of their smug confidence that only they know what is best for America....This is a good year to be a deplorable.............. :victory:

Leftists holding down Black people it's OK. But heaven forbid if a conservative makes a racial joke against Black people.

Why do you think there are any circumstances that justify whites making racial jokes about blacks? How's that even something to be justified?

You don't like how liberals treat minorities? Fine. Speak up about how liberals treat minorities. Don't try to use how liberals treat minorities to excuse conservatives being racists.

There is no excuse that a man of Paladino's age and stature to make such toxically immature statements like this.

Your side is always in denial to the point that it's normal to place Black people beneath the hierarchy. Leftists know this but will never acknowledge it.

And this, to your mind, makes conservative racism acceptable?

Odd thought process. If you think the other side is doing something wrong, then you don't care what your side is doing wrong.

That's just...unconscionable.
