Still, the board should have let her run with it. Let her look like the fool if that’s what she wants

It’s not a derogatory statement, just a racist one!

"Unlike candidates from the established Democratic and Republican parties, independents are allowed a five-word statement of purpose..."Can you imagine the anarchy if there were no "Allowers"?

Will a group of offended Whiteys go and protest her where she lives? No, because they are too busy working while she’s out running for office and looking for handouts to support that.

Sure, no skin off my nose.
It begs the question: “So, what group’s b!+ch ARE you, Ieshuh?” Which is actually kind of funny to contemplate.

Ieshuh Griffin, an independent candidate for the Wisconsin state Assembly, holds up her nomination papers Wednesday, July 21, 2010, at the state Capitol in Madison, Wis., after an election oversight board said the Milwaukee woman can not describe herself on the ballot as "NOT the 'whiteman's b----.'" State law allows independent candidates to have five words describing them placed after their name on the ballot. Griffin argued that the phrase was protected free speech but the state Government Accountability Board said that the statement was pejorative and not allowed. (AP Photo/Todd Richmond)

"NOT the 'whiteman's bitch' " She could have said "NOT the white man's bitch" and still kept it within the maximum five words.

Like Chris Rock said, “Keepin’ it real...real dumb.”
To: Nervous Tick
Griffin, who describes herself as a “30-ish” community activist, said she had attempted unsuccessfully in the past to run for a position as a Milwaukee County Circuit Court judge.

Wow. Just give her 15 years and she’ll be perfectly qualified to serve as POTUS.
