COMMENTARY: Voting 4 Carol Swain is Voting 4 Racism, Homophobia, and Xenophobia
Click here for updates on this story

06/21/2019 (The Nashville Voice Editorial Board) — As election day in Nashville quickly approaches many Nashvillians are still in the process of researching each candidate. We recently endorsed Mayor David Briley for reelection and listed our reasons for that decision. It is also the view of this Editorial Board that there is case for why Mayoral Candidate Carol Swain should not be elected as the next mayor of our city.

Candidate Swain has a long history of disparaging remarks against Muslims, the LGBTQ community and even her own race of African Americans. Over the years she has made a career as the poster child for the far right movement in this country, appearing often on Fox News and CNN to represent the “black conservative voice”.

We have gathered 10 quotes from Swain that prove she is the mouthpiece of Racism, Homophobia, and Xenophobia.

Interview with The Daily Caller

“As a black person, it bothers me that the America I know and love I feel like is being destroyed by [President Barack Obama] a black man. I don’t understand why.”

Interview with The Birther Report

“The changes that I think are so destructive to our Constitution and our American way of life is being led by someone [President Barack Obama] that’s not only a black man but he’s not even a native-born black man.”

Tennessean Op-Ed

“What would it take to make us admit we were wrong about Islam? What horrendous attack would finally convince us that Islam is not like other religions in the United States, that is poses an absolute danger to us and our children unless it monitored better than it has been under the Obama administration?”


Interview with Erico Matias Tavares

“Right now it is far easier to continue the mantra of blaming white people and slavery for the plight of blacks.”

Interview with The Birther Report

“There’s something terribly wrong in America and as a black person it bothers me that the America that I know and love is being destroyed by [President Barack Obama] a black man”

From Swain’s 2011 book “Be The People”

“We are being confronted with numerous national disasters and freak weather patterns. Could some of these occurrences be related to our decision to reject biblical injunctions against abortion, greed, homosexuality, fornication, and adultery? Accept the fact that no matter what Christians and other believers do, it may be too late to save the United States of America….As it stands, we do not know if judgment has been determined for our nation.”

Speaking at the Family Research Council’s Values Voters Summit

“If we must live side-by-side with gay couples in a culture with a strong crusading homosexual agenda, our only hope is to strengthen ourselves spiritually and intellectually for the battle that awaits us.”

MSNBC Interview

“And this Klan, David Duke endorsement or whatever you want to call it, I think that’s going to be a non-issue because people have said enough with political correctness and no candidate can totally control who supports that candidate. I think it would hurt Donald Trump [to disavow controversial endorsements] because he’s not into political correctness. If you’re trying to win, you’re trying to get votes from wherever they come.”


Speaking on CNN

“Because I believe that it’s [Black Lives Matters] been a very destructive force in America, and I urge all of your viewers to go to that website and look at what they’re really about. It’s a Marxist organization all about black liberation. It’s not really addressing the real problems affecting African-Americans and so it’s problematic, it’s misleading black people, it needs to go.”

Infowars Interview

“I believe that the Democratic party is clearly not the party that a lot of African Americans believe it is, they need to know it’s pure Marxism.

Keep digging.

 

[RR7]

Yeah, bring in the Quran.

Sure, ban them all if we're worried about kids reading about violence.

 

[ABM]

Also, racism in this country is not a democrat and Republican issue. But let's play your worldview game, was Jesus, a conservative or a liberal?

Independent, as far as I know.

 

[Phatguysrule]

Yeah, bring in the Quran.

In that case they would both be banned.

 

[crandc]

As ABM is now saying some (which?) books should be banned, I guess his love for DeathSantis makes sense.
Women are too stupid to make our own health decisions. Black people, except Candace Owens, are too stupid to know there is no such thing as systemic racism. And all of us are too stupid to decide what books to not read.
I have read thousands of books. None have harmed me. Some have bored me. Some have upset me. The ones that upset me to the point of insomnia are precisely the ones that need to be read.

 

[ABM]

As ABM is now saying some (which?) books should be banned,

No, what I said was, let the community decide. I wouldn't want DeSantis, nor any form of government making those decisions, either.

 

[Phatguysrule]

No, what I said was, let the community decide. I wouldn't want DeSantis, nor any form of government making those decisions, either.

The community can already decide what to read. Banning can't help. It can only be harmful.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I've used newspapers to start fires when camping. Does that count?

 

[ABM]

The community can already decide what to read. Banning can't help. It can only be harmful.

I suppose. But, it could be a slippery slope. Where do you stop? Porn? Of course, that's ludicrous, but I think you get my drift.

 

[RR7]

Conservatives sure do love their slippery slope arguments.

 

[Chris Craig]

 

[SlyPokerCat]

No, what I said was, let the community decide. I wouldn't want DeSantis, nor any form of government making those decisions, either.

I don't think letting the community decide will mean what you hope it would mean.

You would have plenty of Urban areas banning the bible.

 

[Phatguysrule]

I suppose. But, it could be a slippery slope. Where do you stop? Porn? Of course, that's ludicrous, but I think you get my drift.

You shouldn't stop. All books should be legal. And if the author does something illegal he can be thrown in jail and have the proceeds confiscated.

 

[Lanny]

Did you happen to catch the name of this thread, and who started it? Effectively, this is a Ron DeSantis appreciation thread. I don't need a scolding from you as to what I should, or should not, be posting here.

ABM, there are no threads whatsoever in here that strictly stick to on subject. Every single one of us wanders, even you. This may not be the best way to go but given human nature we better all get used to it.

 

[ABM]

I don't think letting the community decide will mean what you hope it would mean.

As much as I'd love it, I don't think even the Bible belongs in our schools.

That's not what I was referring to. Go back and look at Uncle Cliffy's scoldings. That's what I was referring to when I made that particular comment.

 

[UncleCliffy'sDaddy]

That's not what I was referring to. Go back and look at Uncle Cliffy's scoldings. That's what I was referring to when I made that particular comment.

Let’s be very clear on this subject…..I wasn’t “scolding” you. “Scolding” is much too nice of a word. I was calling out your racist, bullshit and very calculated trolling. Stop playing the victim card. You bring the shit down on your head all by yourself and you do it deliberately because it gets you the attention you apparently need. Grow the fuck up.

I said I support a WHOLE 'nuther way of thinking than yourself and some others in here. That's ABSOLUTLEY my prerogative. And don't say it isn't!!

 

[UncleCliffy'sDaddy]

And it’s MY prerogative to respond as I see fit. And don’t say it isn’t. See how that works? And your “whole ‘nuther way of thinking” sucks….and is why this country is circling the bowl.

The difference is, I don't make personal stabs. Conversely, you seemingly can't help yourself from the same.

DeSantis: Latest tourist numbers higher than before pandemic

FORT WALTON BEACH, Fla. – Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis says the number of tourists coming to the Sunshine State in the last quarter of 2021 surpassed the visitor count in the same quarter before the start of the pandemic.

Florida had 30.8 million tourist visits between last October and December, a slight increase over the fourth quarter in 2019.

It was the second consecutive quarter in which Florida tourist visits surpassed those from before the start of the coronavirus’s spread in the U.S. in early 2020.

DeSantis has campaigned against mandates that other states are employing to fight COVID-19.

On Tuesday, he credited that policy with the influx of tourists.

Of course it does, it can be used as part of many history projects in conjuncture with other books and sources.

You're comparing tourists to immigrants?!?

 

[crandc]

ABM now trusts polls!

I absolutely disagree. I don't want any "community" saying what I or anyone else can read. If it offends you, don't read it. If you don't like a movie or TV show, don't watch it. Your prerogative.

Schools should not be about teaching the prevailing views of a community.What should be vetoed along with Holocaust, slavery, racism, anything about sex, anything about LGBTQ+ people? Evolution? There were people protesting The Good Earth, ffs, because of the description of O'lan breast feeding! Of course parents should be involved in education but they are not there to veto anything that makes them uncomfortable. Learning is NOT comfortable. Fairy tales are comfortable but life isn't a damn fairy tale.

Oh, am I allowed to say fairy now? Or is it covered under Florida's "don't say gay" bill?

 

[UncleCliffy'sDaddy]

The difference is, I don't make personal stabs. Conversely, you seemingly can't help yourself from the same.

If calling your posts racist (based on your posts, links and opinions) is a “personal stab”, then so be it. The conclusion is as obvious as your intent. We’re never going to get on the right side of history without calling out the indefensible. Like I said, you deliberately set yourself up as a target so you can play the injured party. That’s a pretty fucked up game………..

 

[Shaboid]

You're comparing tourists to immigrants?!?

is the same as

 

[ABM]

It was a play on words, bubba. The operative words are breathe free. LOL

Shoulda bolded.

 

[ABM]

AOf course parents should be involved in education but they are not there to veto anything that makes them uncomfortable.

They can weigh-in on whatever they'd like as they're the one's paying for it.

 

[ABM]

Why don’t you just read this crap in private and leave the rest of us out of it?? You claim you aren’t racist yet you’re constantly pushing this “enlightened” bullshit. Accept your racial bias and move on. Waving this type of propaganda on this particular message board is nothing more than intentional trolling, because you DO know better. Your book looks like nothing more than further white rationalization of it’s own ugly racist history. And like always, let’s blame the blacks who are fighting to bring the inequities front and center, instead of burying them as we have for centuries. Every time black society calls bullshit, white society paints THEM as the racists rather than accept the obvious truth. I used to think you were clueless, but now I believe you are very calculating. But whatever, it’s a shameful troll job on your part.

As I've mentioned, this is a DeSantis thread. If you don't like what you're reading, then DON'T CLICK ON IT AND LEAVE THE REPRIMANDS OUT OF IT!
