Warren Hurst, a member of the Sevier County Commission in Tennessee, said during a meeting last night that white man were losing their rights and that Pete Buttigieg shouldn’t be running for president because he’s gay.
[…]
“We got a queer running for president, if that ain’t about as ugly as you can get,” he said. “Look what we got running for president in the Democratic party. We can go over here to Hoss’s jail [Sevier County Sheriff] and get better people out of there than those running for democratic to be President of the United States.”

“I’m not prejudice, a white male in this country has very few rights and they’re getting took more every day,” said Hurst.

Right!
Because when others share your rights, you lose them.
That’s the difference between a right and a privilege.
What checkmate said. Bigots are stupid people.
I’d love to personally ask the OP, “Can you specify what rights you’ve lost and write it on a list?”.
Won't someone please think of the white, straight, christian men in the US?! Just once, won't someone think of the beleaguered white American men? The poor things; so marginalized.
Fortunately, this pus bucket is pretty old & looks to be dead soon.
Ireland's openly gay Taoiseach Leo Varadkar. North of that border, just a few days ago the ultra-fundie DUP being forced to legalise S-SM.
You have already lost, OP.
I couldn't give half a flying fuck for what happens to the White Shite... er, I mean 'Right'.
I'm sure the veterans of D-Day in WWII are all cut up about your so-called 'Rights': as they saw their comrades worse -than cut up in the charnel house that was Omaha Beach.
Don't forget, OP: Pink Triangles.
I’m a white male in the United States.
I’ve still got all my rights.
Oh, do you mean the right to just relentlessly hate on people different from you? Then that’s not a right you ever should’ve had.
White male privilege, which is not being TAKEN, or took, from you…as for Pete Buttigieg, at least HE isn’t about to be grabbing anyone by the pussy.
To the privileged, equality feels like oppression. You are not losing your rights, dearie, you just have to share them with others. You can no longer oppress others, but you never had a RIGHT to do that, that part was just uncouth bullying on your part.
The Orange Clown is more “queer” than any other in the 2020 presidential race (in the old meaning of the word, as in strange, not in the LGBTQ meaning).
Of course you’re prejudiced! We all are, to some extent, but most are able to look past our prejudices and see individuals. People crying “Won’t somebody think about the white males!!!” are DEFINITELY prejudiced, and you are so blind to your own humongous privileges, that you think you have “very few rights”.
“I’m not prejudice, a white male in this country has very few rights and they’re getting took more every day,” said Hurst.
List them out, butthole, so we can examine that sentence properly. I dare you.
So while serving as a commissioner who sets the legal agenda for a tourism dependent county alongside 23 of the oldest and whitest old white men in a comical political stereotype played almost agonizingly straight except for the remaining token white woman who’s there because she has a financial stake in construction you probably resent complained about white men having their rights taken away… while in the process of giving guns more right to be in your county as a “gun sanctuary” than actual people and especially one particular white man whose right to participate in politics you considered invalid because of his sexuality, disparaging his character, suggesting that pulling random people out of jail and having them run would be more morally acceptable, repeating Trump’s “other countries are sending us their thugs and rapists” lie, and pretty much butchering the English language confounding transcripts. Rudely chewing on a toothpick as you spoke, devolving into a nearly unintelligible gibberish interspersed with slurs that sounded momentarily like a turkey gobbling which given the hideous neck folds emblematic of politically entrenched old white bigoted assholes fighting against the march of time was astonishingly appropriate. In a courthouse. During an official function of local government.
Democratic chair Sara Thompson literally called bullshit and walked out in disgust. So that’s cool I guess. Problem is she’s the only one who did. The rest clapped, guffawed, and then realizing the whole thing was caught on tape ran some pretty weaselly damage control avoiding actually condemning the screed and instead insisting that the 95% white county is actually very diverse and tourist trap Dollywood in particular welcomes all regardless of ethnicity or orientation to spend their money… and in parentheses I suppose the disclaimer would be (As long as they turn the fuck around and go back where they came from when their walking around money is spent and keep the actual walking around to a minimum.)
@Passerby
On top of that, Dolly Parton, herself would consider all those old bigots complete and total troglodytes. Parton is awesome and she’s totally cool with feminism, LGBTQ Rights and Equality for All. I’d gladly enjoy a fun Summer day at Dollywood (which looks like a perfectly nice Amusement Park).
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
