Again, the racists in the current Republican Party just prove that they don’t care if everyone knows it.

Wearing FBI Wire, Alabama Republican Called Black Casino Customers ‘Aborigines’

Alabama state Sen. Scott Beason, a cooperating witness in a federal corruption case, called black gambling hall customers “aborigines” when he was wearing an FBI wire and recording conversations with his fellow lawmakers, it was revealed in court this week.

Beason and two other Republican legislators were joking about economic development in predominantly black Greene County and the customers of the Greenetrack casino, the Associated Press reports.

“That’s y’all’s Indians,” one Republican said.

“They’re aborigines, but they’re not Indians,” replied Beason.

In another recorded conversation, Beason — who cooperated with the feds’ investigation and has not been charged — agreed with other Republican legislators who said that there would be a big turnout of black voters if bingo was on the ballot because casino owners would offer free buffets and gambling credits to lure African-American customers and then bus them to the polls.
