The Dixiecrats are at in again.
Through years of practice, they have perfected the art of grooming assimilation-hungry blacks to push agendas in our communities that could potentially be viewed as racist coming from white politicians.
Though this strategy has consistently worked in their favor, South Carolina state Sen. Robert Ford (pictured), took his token status a tad too far when he shared his opinion that African American men are lazier than Mexican men during a Senate committee debate over stricter immigration laws:

"Brothers won't work hard like Mexicans will, so we need to make sure enough Mexicans are here.
"We need these workers here. A lot of people aren't going to do certain type of work in this country," Ford said. "The brothers are going to find ways to take a break. Ever since this country was built, we've had somebody do the work for us."
We've had someone do the work for us? Really, Sen. Ford?
Maybe Ford doesn't realize that "Black Ivory," as valuable slaves were called, practically built his state of South Carolina with their bare, bleeding hands.
Slaves worked in the rice fields of Carolina under inhumane conditions, dying in unfathomable numbers from malaria due to the disease-infested waters.
Records have shown that more than one-third of all slave children died before their first birthday, because pregnant women were made to toil in scorching temperatures.
African slaves not only worked in rice and cotton fields, but they also built railroads and worked on docks; they were carpenters, painters, shoemakers and miners. This country was built on the backs of slaves, and this Sambo senator has the audacity to say that "since this country was built we've had somebody do the work for us."
I shouldn't be surprised.
This is, after all, the same senator who said that Obama would "drag down" the Democratic ticket in 2007.
This is also the very same man, who in 1999, stood before the Senate, and after describing a Confederate event called a "Ghost Walk," in which only he and one other black "[took] part in the activities as a slave," said that he learned to "respect [his] heritage much more because of the love they have for their heritage and culture."
I hate to break it to you, senator, but your fellow black man wasn't the only slave there; he was just the only one in costume.
Joel Sawyer, executive director of the state Republican Party, said Ford should apologize:
"It's disgusting and abhorrent that any elected official would say something that offensive," Sawyer said. "He needs to apologize immediately, and hopefully the condemnation of his comments will be equally as loud from both sides of the political aisle."
The rest.
