Vote for me, I'm white.

Candidates for political office often tout their experience or intelligence as reasons why they’re qualified. A woman running to be mayor of Charlotte, North Carolina, also promoted the fact that she’s white.

In a since-deleted Facebook post, Kimberley Paige Barnette, 52, suggested voters should pick her Sept. 12 to be the Republican candidate for mayor because she is “REPUBLICAN & SMART, WHITE, TRADITIONAL.”

2. If she's "traditional," what the hell is she doing running for office?

She needs to get back to the dishes and let the menfolk do all that politics stuff.

Fucking hypocrite. I'd also love to see her DNA analysis.

7. She's actually pretty smart for being an idiot

Ms. Barnette reportedly edited the post, removing the words “smart,” “white” and “traditional,” before deleting or disabling her Facebook page altogether.
