Romney: "I can relate to black people because my ancestors owned slaves"
Is this literally the most racist thing you can say? I'm having trouble thinking of anything worse (I suppose the tone could be more racist, but the actual content?).
The implications of him thinking this is an effective strategy are disturbing, to say the least.

I clicked on this thread assuming that was out of context or misquoted or anything, but...
Oh Romney, you card.
um
the banner reads "News that's almost reliable" and this was in the related news.
Uuuuuuuuhhhhhhhh . . .
When, exactly, did our country run out of viable presidential candidates, again?
^ Probably should've clicked the article first. I just figured that, since a bunch of other people in the thread were upset over it, it was legitimate news. I'll check it out.
. . . Yup, it's fake.
^^Ah, okay. That's good. I feel dumb now >.>
FYI: Free Wood Post is a parody news site.
Now that Newt and Santorum are gone, it's only him and Paul for the GOP candidate, right?
We know that Romney is a doofus, but that doesn't mean you should be like John Fleming.
Friends don't let friends be like John Fleming.
Duffy confirmed for idiot.
for what is worth, i fell for it till someone else pointed it out
Is there a web forum equivalent of seppuku so I can save face, here?
sepuguu~
I will disembowel myself with Worldslayer.
Probably won't need anyone to be my second.
Wouldn't miss it for the world.
Surely, you'll slay the audience with that one.
etc

Yep, now it's only Romney.
That wasn't exactly a cut above, Juan.
The banner (which isn't exactly small) says "News that's almost reliable" and the other stories (or "Almost News") are quite weird and unbelievable too. How could one even be fooled?
Or rather, how can one overlook all this so easily?
^ For one thing, it's arguably less offensive than some of the stuff Santorum has been confirmed as saying.
To be fair, Romney has said similar things, like saying at a Nascar rally he had friends that owned Nascar divisions.
I didn't check the article-just read the reactions of people here-and apparently they overlooked the banner/didn't click the article, either.
Here's a disclaimer on the website. Basically, it's like The Onion, but with slightly more believable "news."
This is a bit as if David Cameron were to be reported as saying that he understood poverty, because his ancestors employed many poor people. It fits the image that everyone has of him, but it's just that bit too obviously stupid for him to actually say.

That was, i believe, where this joke came from.
There is actually a good chance he would relate to black people in a very literal sense were this the case, seeing how slaveowners had sex with their slaves a lot...
