Candidate for Charlotte mayor puts 'white' among qualifications

A candidate for mayor in Charlotte, N.C., listed "white" among her qualifications in Facebook comments that have since been deleted.
 
The chairman of the North Carolina Republican Party rebuked Kimberley Paige Barnette, who has since apologized for her remarks.
 
"VOTE FOR ME!" Barnette, 53, wrote on her Facebook page, the Charlotte Observer reported.
 
"REPUBLICAN & SMART, WHITE, TRADITIONAL."

[...]

Barnette, a former Mecklenburg County magistrate, later apologized, according to WRAL.
 
She is trailing her two competitors in the Republican primary for Charlotte's mayor, which is scheduled for later this month.

She should have added "stupid" to the list.

Thats true. As is anyone who trades off their ethnicity, either subtly, like Barack Obama, or this woman, who used the 2x4 to the forehead approach.

This is a fringe candidate who never would've been noticed had the press not been on the lookout for race-bait to exploit.
