| From WFAA in Dallas (video on their site): Farouk Shami, the millionaire hair care products maker who's running, said he doesn't find many white people willing to work, so he says he hires Hispanics and blacks instead. [...] Asked to explain what he meant about not hiring many whites, he said they want special treatment. “A majority of the people are going to be Hispanic and African-American. You don't find white people who are willing to work in factories. And our history proves, you know, lots of time when they, you know, the white people come to work in a factory they either want to be supervisors or they want to be, you know, paid more than the average person. And unfortunately they exit.”
So Farouk -- what about all those white people in your ads? Not only that -- but after yesterday, how did he not know how to answer this?!?! And then just a day after Medina, didn't reject the notion that the government was involved in the 9/11 attacks, Shami didn't either. “I'm not sure. I am not going to really judge or answer about something I'm not really sure about. But the rumors are there that there was a conspiracy. True or not? It's hard to believe, you know, what happened. It's really hard to comprehend what happened. Maybe. I'm not sure.”
I mean -- seriously? |
