Kathy Miller: 8 minorities that need to work a bit harder

Ohio Trump campaign chair Kathy Miller was forced to resign yesterday after an interview with The Guardian where she stated 'if you're black and you haven't been successful in the last 50 years, it's your own fault'.

Implying that there was no racism in the 1960s seems risky for a political figure, but I got in contact with Kathy and she kindly explained her views. She also gave me a list of other groups she believes have failed of their own accord in the last 50 years. Have a look at her statement below and see what you think.

What did you think of Miller's remarks?

My name is Kathy Miller, and I recently said some things which many people have claimed were racist!! 

But the thing is, I don’t see colour. 

Whether I’m looking at this photo of members of the US senate, or this collage of unarmed individuals recently shot by police, to me they are all just human beings. Race simply doesn’t come into it. 

Anyway, due to popular demand I thought I'd list all of the groups whose lack of success has been their own fault over the last 50 years.

--------- ***---------

Black people - let’s just make this clear: there was no racism in the 1960s. In fact, black people were given a whole range of privileges, such as their own restrooms. 

Likewise, work for blacks was in abundance. If you look at the statistics, blacks actually dominated certain areas of the job market, such as the 'unpaid civil rights protester' segment. 

Now, people say to me 'Kathy, black people earned less than white people.' But if you consider that their life expectancy was seven years lower than whites’ which meant they often didn’t reach retirement age (rather than IGNORE the facts) then they essentially earned more money per year of their life! 

That's maths 4 you ;)

you cant manpiulate numbers

Muslims - it's completely untrue that there is an oppressive culture of suspicion and mistrust regarding Muslims in the USA. Sure, Muslims often claim there is, but you can tell that they're lying for personal gain. 

Yes, sometimes white people abuse Muslims and call them terrorists or whatever, but these people are an extreme minority who do not represent the white population as a whole!

But I guess Muslims wouldn't understand that.

easy life!!

Cows - sure, people have been killing and eating cows systematically for centuries, but let’s look at the facts: nowadays people often point out that eating meat is bad which must mean that no-one ever eats meat anymore!! To be honest, any cow that complains about having been brutally killed then eaten is probably trying to leech off the system. Moo! 

accept the mahts!!

Babies – I mean for fuck’s sake! Waaa! Waaa! I was a baby for a few years, but then I snapped out of it. Baby apologists really do grind my gears. I mean, when a baby does a little fart then dribbles carrot onto its bib, everyone laughs and claps, but when I do it people don’t know how to react.

Yes. It really seems like it’s one rule for babies and another for everyone else.

its a weekday for crynig out loud!! stop fukcnig around!

Fictional characters – BLOODY HELL! SeRiOusLy! I hate these pansies. If I were a product of someone’s imagination and had my every word, action and opportunity dictated by them, I’d probably just dig my heels in! 

And anyway, just because you’re a character in a book, that doesn’t mean you can’t leap out of the book and become non-fictional, does it?! I mean look at Harry Potter: at first he was a fake-child who struggled at school, but now he’s Daniel Radcliffe. If that’s not an example of how hard work can turn your chances around well then I guess I’m a dumb piece of racist shit.

lazy

 

Kettles - JESUS CHRIST DON’T GET ME STARTED ON THESE LAYABOUTS. When was the last time you saw a kettle pull its weight? That’s right!! In the short play I wrote and performed for my niece, 'The Kettle That Thought About The Museum'.

And people say ‘oh, Kathy, it’s different being a kettle to being a white woman born into wealth.’ But is it? Is it really? Let's think about it. We both let off steam, we're both subject to the universal laws of physics, and we've both fallen into that gap behind the dishwasher and been unable to get out until Richard came home. 

It really is a level playing field.

pathetic

Interplanetary dust - URGH!! 

wtf!!

The dead - FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! SURE, people say 'Kathy, you're not dead so you don't know what it's like', or 'Kathy, society isn't designed for the dead', or 'Kathy, maybe don't order the carrots this time' but they are INTRANET BULLIES.  

You don't have to be a scientist to know that the dead are slacking off, much in the same way Sally The Kettle didn't have to VISIT the museum to know that she'd had a great birthday.
