Steve King: Ferguson Protesters Are Of A 'Continental Origin' So Racial Profiling Is Not A Factor

Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) claimed that racial profiling is not a concern in Ferguson, Missouri, because all of the protesters are of a "continental origin."

Speaking on conservative network Newsmax TV on Wednesday, King disagreed that racial profiling played a role in the fatal shooting of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown or the targeting of those protesting his death because, King claims, everyone protesting the situation is black.

"This idea of no racial profiling ... I've seen the video. It looks to me like you don't need to bother with that particular factor because they all appear to be of a single origin, I should say, a continental origin might be the way to phrase that," he said.

King was responding to the Congressional Black Caucus' demand for the Department of Justice to conduct an extensive investigation into questionable actions of the St. Louis County Police Department in response to the largely peaceful protests in Ferguson. The CBC expressed concern that the police may have a history of racial profiling.

You know what the 'R' stands for next to Steve King's name - RACIST. King is a RACIST from Iowa. He's an asshole and how he is paid $200k a year to be a US Representative is an embarrassment to this country!

1. He should be CENSURED for such evil fucking thoughts!

...and drummed out of the US House of Representatives! What if he said, "eh, Hitler had it right"? I'm sure he'd be gone in a week. There is NO difference to that vs what he said about race.

2. Well he should be. And if think if he made that Hitler comment, he still wouldn't be Censured

This is the US House of Representative that has been bough by the Koch Brothers. I don't even think they would care.

And Steve King may be taking his advice.

4. But you have to admit that he's probably right.

As best I can tell, 100% of the protesters appear to be from North America.

7. When are we going to start racially profiling clueless white halfwits?

It would be nice to keep them out of office, appointed positions, management, clergy, and all other positions of relative power.
