ISBL Asshat of the Week: Republican Charles ‘Racist’ Younger

Just when you thought Mississippi couldn’t offer up a more racist candidate for public office than Cindy Hyde-Smith—and sadly, the racist won last night in Mississippi—I offer up Republican state senator Charles Younger, who decided to support #RacistCindy.

In response to the backlash Hyde-Smith received by saying she’d sit in the front row of a public hanging, Younger said such public hangings were a "style" of execution and believes that is hanging was still legal, it would deter a lot of crimes today.

Clearly, the idea of a public hanging doesn’t deter ignorant asshats from pulling the corn cob pipe outta their mouths and raising the Confederate flag and acting the fool.

"It wasn’t 'lynching. It was a public hanging where it had to pass through the courts and it wasn’t a color or a race issue. It was just a means of punishment."—Charles Younger

Younger then tried to turn the table against Democrats and failed miserably. While he admitted that Hyde-Smith "said something out of jest that wasn’t the most politically correct thing to say” he added that most Democrats would vote to execute the young man that killed the nine black people in the church in South Carolina.”

Um, Charlie Bob Ray Billy, that isn’t the point, you asshat; it isn’t about executing someone guilty of mass murder, it’s about an elected official gleefully sitting in the front row of a public ganging.

It is of note to remind folks that both Cindy Hyde-Smith and Charles Younger attended "segregation academies," schools designed to avoid allowing Black people to attend.

Racists stick together like feces to toilet tissue.
