Come on, folks. She is not racist. Her cook and nanny are African-American and landscaper is Latino.

You know something…just because something is “funny” doesn’t stop it from being racist.

Holy cats!
Well, on reflection this lady doesn’t understand what racism is, feels like or how hurtful it is. To her it is “funny”

“It took me a while to get over the feeling of being raped and being thrown under the bus,” she told KMOV.

Perhaps if she actually did get raped and thrown under a bus, she’d get over the way she felt when she was exposed for the racist idiot she really is.

“Sure, they look racist, but even when I looked at them, I’m thinking,
‘God, yes, that is racist.’ But they were jokes. I meant no harm to
anyone or anybody,” she told KTVI. “I didn’t send them out because I was
racist, because I’m not.”

So she admits the emails were extremely racist and yet she doesn’t see how there’s anything racist about sending them to others?

I hate to sound racist and sexist, but you’re making the rest of of us white folks look awful stupid, you dumb fucking bitch.

Clueless Person of the Year?

No, probably not even a contender, I’m afraid.

Translation from the original German:

“I was just treating non-Aryans like the government told me to. And it wasn’t my job to question the fines. I just followed orders.”

Odd, I would have thought seeing her reflection in the mirror would have given her a sense of what is “funny”.

If Hollywood wanted to make a middle age version of Alicia Silverstone’s film Clueless, this woman should be the star although she would probably hate the inter-racial casting. Stacey Dash who was in the film ended up on Fox News so that would be an appropriate career change for her.

She could be Fox’s expert on why forwarding racist e-mails is not racist as long as they are funny. She could be a permanent guest on the Sean Hannity show.

“Sure, they look racist, but even when I looked at them, I’m thinking,
‘God, yes, that is racist.’ But they were jokes. I meant no harm to
anyone or anybody,” she told KTVI. “I didn’t send them out because I was
racist, because I’m not.”

Pay no attention to my actions. Just believe what I say.

“Raped and thrown under the bus.” She appears to have no filter.

She doesn’t look smart enough to understand the question.

“They ruined my life for the sake of what was going on in Ferguson. I think it’s sickening. It just really upset me,” she told KTVI.

I guess I know who will be the right wing’s next GoFundMe recipient.

During her interview with KMOV, Twitty added that she’s had trouble finding work since she was fired as the Ferguson City Court Clerk.

Just guessing, Mary Ann, but the way you dress for interviews could be part of the problem.

If someone had emailed derogatory images, jokes about her I doubt she’d think them funny or amusing. That would be a beginning to teach her about racism. then again it may take something a bit stronger for that teaching moment to get thru to her.

Listen, sweetie, here’s the deal.

If you get a “joke” in your e-mail and you forward it to everyone except your black co-worker because she wouldn’t like it, then the “joke” is racist and you’re a racist for forwarding it.

Oh, and by the way, who does your hair?

“Funny racist jokes” is the quintessential oxymoron.

When I saw the photo of Reagan and the chimp, all I could think of was “geez, we once had a president who made a movie where a chimp was the star”. Now THAT is sad…

Sacrificial lamb. They ruined my life. Raped and thrown under bus. I know this is painfully obvious, but hyper-dramatic right wing racist nutjobs cry victimhood the instant somebody calls them on what they do. Was there ever a more cowardly bunch of perps?
