Kasich: "I don't need your people."

Gov. Kasich


Although Gov. Kasich's office is trying to spin his derogatory remark, everyone knows he was referring to blacks. That was the only possible meaning given the context.


When he became governor of Ohio, Kasich warned us: "If you're not on the bus, we'll run over you with the bus." He forgot to mention:  if you are black, you go to the back of the bus


It would be interesting to learn what other people His Arrogance doesn't need. It would be fair to say he doesn't need Latinos. That brown skin reminds him of blacks. And of course, he doesn't need any gays, they make him nervous. Obviously lesbians need not apply; they have two strikes against them.The same applies to Arabs. Some have dark skin, and then there is that religious thing. One can never be too careful. You never know which Muslim is a terrorist. He's made it clear he doesn't need public employees and their damned unions, but then who is going to the real work? He may have to keep some of those people.


Basically His Arrogance needs white Anglo-Saxon Protestant males. We know he needs his Wall Street buddies from failed Lehman Brothers, at least the white males. He needs bankers and financiers to handle the citizens' money since they did such a great job in the build-up to the Great Recession. He definitely needs businessmen to cherry-pick and privatize the best (most profitable) of government services.


At least Ohioans know where they stand --  in the middle of 1962, the last time the state had a lily white cabinet.
