A Racist Robocall Targeting Stacey Abrams Should Make You Very Angry
snip
A number of Georgia residents have received racist robocalls aimed at the state’s Democratic candidate for governor, Stacey Abrams. The calls feature a voice impersonating “magical negress” Oprah Winfrey pretending to advocate for Abrams in the upcoming gubernatorial elections.
And I’m not just trying to earn more of the mythical cash and prizes that I always win for playing the race card. NBC calls the robocalls “racist,” and CNN revealed that the calls came from a hate group that sponsors a “white supremacist and anti-Semitic video podcast hosted by Scott Rhodes of Idaho,” writing:
“Years ago, the Jews who own the American media saw something in me.” the call begins, in a voice that no sane person would think was Oprah Winfrey, adding: “The ability to trick dumb white women into thinking I was like them and to do, read and think what I told them to. I see that same potential in Stacey Abrams.”
“Where others see a poor man’s Aunt Jemima, I see someone white women can be tricked into voting for,” the call in which you are supposed to be outraged by continues. “Especially the fat ones.”

The same neo-Nazi group had targeted Gillum with racist robocalls after he won the Democratic Florida gubernatorial nomination in the late-August primary and again in October. It also sponsored robocalls in Iowa, using Mollie Tibbetts’ death to attack Latinos and promote white supremacy, according to the Des Moines Register. Tibbetts, a 20-year-old college student, was abducted in July while jogging in rural Iowa, killed and dumped in a cornfield. The man arrested in her death is an undocumented immigrant from Mexico and has pleaded not guilty to a charge of first-degree murder.
