=============================

"I was alerted to this for an altogether different reason, but came across this astonishing quote by Bernalillo County Republican chairman Fernando C' de Baca:
"The truth is that Hispanics came here as conquerors," he said. "African-Americans came here as slaves.
"Hispanics consider themselves above blacks. They won't vote for a black president."

1. Oh, but his words were taken "out of context"

See?

C. de Baca Explains His Comments to Local Blogger

Suddenly embattled Bernalillo County GOP chairman Fernando C. de Baca finally broke his silence and spoke to Peter St. Cyr of What's the Word. St. Cyr's blog is becoming a must-read for people interested in New Mexico politics.

C. de Baca told St. Cyr in a phone interview, "It's truly unfortunate. I was asked by one of the bloggers to help him understand the history of New Mexico, visa via Hispanics, and how they interacted with the Native Americans, and Blacks, you know African Americans." The blogger he was referring to is a BBC reporter who was at the New Mexico State Fair.

I have to say, everyone I spoke to could not believe the comments that C. de Baca made. No one could think of a possible interpretation where the comments were not racist.

Republican Darren White quickly distanced himself with a release, saying, "Someone who holds these beliefs has no business holding a leadership position in any political party."

2. That remark says a lot more about C. de Baca than it does about Hispanics.
