You’re A Racist All Day

By Kleinheider Posted on October 24, 2008 at 9:36 am

Jake Ford, brother of Harold Ford, Jr., on his independent race for the Ninth Congressional district seat against white Democratic incumbent Steve Cohen:

Though Ford says comments he made earlier this year indicating the 9th District should be represented by a black candidate were misunderstood, he did say, “As far as I’m concerned, black people should vote together as a special interest group. If that makes me racist, then call me a racist all day.”
