Florida mayoral candidate Paul Congemi tells activists to ‘go back to Africa’
By Jessica Chasmar - The Washington Times - Thursday, July 20, 2017

A Florida mayoral candidate’s racist tirade has gone viral after he told a group of activists to “go back to Africa” during a mayoral forum Tuesday.

Long-shot St. Petersburg mayoral candidate Paul Congemi made the comments while addressing rival Jesse Nevel, a white supporter of the socialist Uhuru Movement, which seeks slavery reparations for African-Americans.

“Mr. Nevel, you and your people, you talk about reparations,” Mr. Congemi said, according to video of the outburst. “The reparations that you talk about, Mr. Nevel, your people already got your reparations. Your reparations came in the form of a man named Barack Obama.”

The comment elicited outrage from the audience, with one woman screaming, “Get out of here!”

Judging from the picture at the link, he should be getting belligerent with his barber.
I disagree.  Circle gets the square.

He'll fix everything by saying he has lots of friends in the community and is very popular with 'the colored folk.'

I didn't see a racial component to this, except by those believing we need to pay a particular race something they do not deserve.

But, isn't that racial, by definition?

May have been a Democrat in the past, but he's running as a Republican.

I don't think it works that way there. bleep can call himself Republican but I don't think they run on party lines. And this isn't the election but the primary, whatever that means there.

That's right St. Petersburg mayoral candidates do not run by party.  This guys a hack.

Whenever the term "reparations" is mentioned in this forum, there are the usual snorts or derision. And they are aptly so.

So... lemmmeeee see here.......
A guy running for office speaks utters outloud a similar comment regarding "reparations", and we're going to criticize him for saying publicly what many whites believe privately?

Sounds like a double-standard to me.

I'd vote for this guy, whether you like it or not.
And if you don't, I don't care, and don't care if you're offended by that, either.

Your vote is based on what?  Given that reparations have absolutely nothing to do with how St. Petersburg will be governed, I think voting on this basis is ridiculous.

He's a hack too.  St. Pete mayoral races are high comedy most times.
