‘Time to start firing bullets into these f***ing monkeys’: Racist NJ candidate withdraws from school board race
Richard Jankowski, a candidate for school board in a central New Jersey suburb, withdrew after his racist Facebook posts were uncovered.

By Melanie Eversley - August 19, 2018



Richard Jankowski, 51, a candidate for school board in a central New Jersey suburb, has withdrawn from the race after the media discovered a series of racist social media posts over a period of years.

Jankowski, a carpenter who lives in Williamstown, N.J., called Black people “monkeys,” “animals” and “useless wastes of life” and suggested it was “time to start firing bullets into these f—ing monkeys” in a series of Facebook posts between 2013 and 2016.

The posts have been removed from Jankowski’s Facebook page, but the New Jersey Globe, which first reported the story, published screenshots of Jankowski’s philosophies about people.

Jankowski was running for school board in Monroe Township, N.J., a community of about 40,000 that is just over 93% white, according to census data.

School board candidate describes black people as monkeys and 'wastes of life' in Facebook rant
Updated Aug 17; Posted Aug 17

. . .

Jankowski's posts appeared to be his commentary on the Black Lives Matter protests and citizen reaction to, among other things, the 2013 non-guilty verdict for George Zimmerman, who was charged in the killing of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin. He also referred to the 2014 shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri.

"Hope the NFL suspends all of their jackass players for their tweets on the Zimmerman verdict ... when blacks make up 13% of the population and commit 75% of crime, it is NEVER about racial profiling, it's about the facts. ... I work with many black people who are great, hard workers and are living the American dream and have yet to hear them b---- about how blacks are categorised (sic). This bulls--- about being oppressed and being owed something has to end," he wrote in a post on July 14, 2013, according to a screenshot on the New Jersey Globe.

"Hats off to the residents of Ferguson, Missouri ... once again you animals showed your stupidity and ignorance by looting and burning businesses in your own town because a shoplifting kid who assaulted a cop was shot ... act like a law abiding citizen and this crap never happens!," he wrote in a Aug. 15, 2014, post.

On Aug. 18, 2014, came a Facebook post: "I'm sorry but I can't stay quiet any longer ... you god--- animals in Missouri make me sick! Another black criminal gets killed after assaulting a white cop and you pieces of s--- want justice? You are not Americans, you are animals who disgust me. ... Get a f------ job and contribute you useless wastes of life instead of constantly committing crimes and protesting when you get what you deserve. ... you think you would have learned after Trayvon that if you don't commit a crime you might be alive ..."

Kudos to whomever was able to dig through his Facebook and find this. It's usually the only way we learn what they really think.

Thanks for posting this, Judi. You're always a step ahead!

But keep whatever it takes to make you feel one part of the nation(yours?) is somehow superior to others.

I mean, too bad the we in the south are not as free of racist as say, Wisconsin. Or Jersey for that matter. And if only we could have a president from New York.

Racism is an American problem. Trying to absolve any region of our national sin does nothing to solve the problem.

Take away the New York City region and you basically have Georgia. Virginia is more Blue than Wisconsin or Indiana. And I would argue N.C. is more purple than many midwestern states. Blaming trump on any region plays into our opponents hands.

23. yes, the issue has more to do with White Voters . this includes Wisconsin . California turned solid

blue because minorities make up a majority of the state .

but it was also the state that use to elect nixon and reagan .

the voters themselves did not become more liberal. but rather the demographics changed with things like immigration, people leaving the state, dying etc.

this is why Virginia turned blue and Georgia is heading in that direction also.

Texas will be there soon also.

the thing with the south though is that the whites there do support trump and other horrible republicans in greater numbers than whites in other states.

Lilly white states. I guess you consider them southern?

The South is more diverse than all those states. Georgia will turn Blus before Kansas does.

I agree with your basic premise that whites are the only support trump has.

yeah, kansas , indiana, iowa, and ohio suck also . along with utah, wyoming and other places.

even liberal democratic states like oregon and vermont have issues.

and we know about the racists in places like massachusettes and other blue states like John kelly.

And oh, Mr. Jankowski. Judging from your surname, you are descended from people who were once considered inferior or subhuman. Some people wanted to use your people as only slave labor or make them extinct through genocide. Heck, some if not most of those white supremacists that you might support still consider you subhuman due to your ethnic background. You were running for the school board and don't know this? You wanted to educate our children? I thank God this was found out.

I just don't get it. I just don't get it.

The Cops shouldn't consider Ethic people like deer.
They have shot people like a hunter with a license.
They have a buck tag and doe tag and kill accordingly.
and get away with shooting more and more.
Very sick world we live in.
