In an effort to justify his pro-illegal immigrant stance in order to garner latino votes. Black Democrat Robert Ford goes on a racist rant about how illegal immigrants work harder than Blacks and Whites. Especially on Blacks, saying they haven't wanted to work since slavery.
This is amazing stuff. But who has his back? The NAACP. Why? Because Ford is black yo! Imagine if a white or latino stated this. The NAACP racist hypocrits would be all over him. There would be calls for him to resign not just apologize!
Now the NAACP response the defenders of blacks, even ignorant and wrong ones. Only unfortunate language? WTF. Where is the outrage? The NAACP is outraged over everything and anything as long as the perpertrator is black!

Black SC lawmaker: Immigrants are hardest workers - Yahoo! News
COLUMBIA, S.C. An African-American lawmaker in South Carolina said Tuesday that stricter illegal immigration laws would hurt the state because blacks and whites don't work as hard as Hispanics.
.. he said "brothers" don't work as hard as Mexicans. He continued that his "blue-eyed brothers" don't either.
Once his ancestors were freed from slavery, he said, they didn't want to do any more hard work, so they were replaced by Chinese and Japanese.
"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."
He recalled to senators that four workers in the country illegally showed up on his lawn and finished mowing, edging and other work in 30 minutes that would take others much longer, and only wanted $10 for the job. He went on to say he recommended the workers to his neighbors, and one local lawn care businessman lost work a story one senator remarked was hurting, not helping, his case.
...said he'd apologize, but he doesn't know what for, or what it would change.
Through the generations, whenever one immigrant group becomes "Americanized," they stop working hard, he said.
"Black guys and white guys are going to get out there and do the hard work? No. I'm for America, and America's a country of immigrants," Ford said later when reached on his cell phone. "Everybody in America finds ways to take a break."
To his critics, he said, "They're taking life too serious. My advice is for them to get a life and to learn American history."

The state NAACP leader called Ford's wording unfortunate, and that Ford should have spoken in the larger context from the start, rather than further stereotypes.
"All human beings that I know of share both positive and negative traits," said Lonnie Randolph with the South Carolina chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. "All individuals share the same shortcomings."
