Families Protest Alabama Lawmaker's Racist Comments By Beth Greenfield

Adoptive parents in Alabama are firing back against state Rep. Alvin Holmes and the race-based, controversial comments he made during an abortion-bill debate in March. In addition to claiming that 99 percent of white legislators would force their daughters to have an abortion if impregnated by a black man, Holmes also said, "I will bring you $100,000 cash tomorrow if you show me a whole bunch of whites that adopted blacks in Alabama. I will go down there and mortgage my house and get it cash in 20 dollar bills and bring it to you in a little briefcase." Now he may need to head to the bank, as families who have done just that staged a press conference at the Alabama State House Wednesday.

If he debated Shelia Jackson Lee would the combination of dumb create a blackhole?

"I-T I-S Q-U-I-T-E P-O-S-S-I-B-L-E"

Alvin Holmes Displays His
In Depth Knowledge of Beer

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

As Dr. Watson would say to Sherlock Holmes about the mental illness state of Rep. Holmes - “Elementary, Holmes, elementary”.

[shibumi]

To which Holmes replies “De beer we got drink pretty good, don’t it?”

"I will bring you $100,000 cash tomorrow if you show me a whole bunch of whites that adopted blacks in Alabama. I will go down there and mortgage my house and get it cash in 20 dollar bills and bring it to you in a little briefcase."

Left himself plenty of wiggle room. How many is a whole bunch? 10, 100, 1000?

Nick Searcy should find this guy and kick his ass while his adopted kid watches.

The Honorable Representative Mr. Holmes had best be making his way to he bank to make good on his promise lest he gain a reputation as being niggardly regarding the paying off of his debts. Sounds like a classic case of his mouth writing a check that his a$$ can't cash

Alvin Holmes said, "I will bring you $100,000 cash tomorrow...I will go down there and mortgage my house and get it cash in 20 dollar bills and bring it to you in a little briefcase."

I don't think his credit is good enough.

[ChildOfThe60s]

My lilly white SIL fostered from 1 week of age each, 1 white, 2 mixed race, and 1 black baby, all males. And then after fostering them for a couple of years, she legally adopted ALL of them. They are now all in their teens.

How many kids of any race has this jerk adopted?

How many black DemocRats are *not* racists? None as far as I can see. I am pretty fed up with black racists and the free pass they get for their filthy hate speech. And I mean filthy.

[Oceander]

Just to be sure, here's the little racist himself:



It goes without saying that he is a democrat.

[sport]

I would call him on it.

[SgtHooper]

I know of quite a few white folks who have adopted blacks, but no blacks who have adopted whites. Why is that?

[Epsdude]

Statistics are racist.

[BenLurkin]

Looks a little like Boss Hogg.

[ExCTCitizen]

A Democrat? Really, I thought he was a Marxist.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Now that is something you’ll never see.

[RPTMS]

Maybe because there are more black babies than white babies who need adopting, and there are more white couples than black couples who are in a position to adopt?

[Oceander]

“Looks a little like Boss Hogg.”

He does, doesn’t he? All he needs is a white suit and a big fat cigar.
