Kyle Greene, an organic farmer running for a state House seat in Minnesota, told voters he wants to be their "n---er" in a campaign ad released earlier this month.

“I want to be your state representative, I want to be your public servant and I want to be your n---er,” Greene said in a video posted on his campaign website and Facebook page.

Greene made the comments at the end of a video in which he addresses the camera, asking for the support of voters in Minnesota's District 18A, where he is running as an independent.

The video had been viewed over 10,000 times on Facebook as of Thursday afternoon.

1. I actually was afraid to open this OP out of fear

it might be a Dem who said this. Everything is so out of joint lately. Everything.

5. I'd write him off for just thinking that would be a good thing. It's one thing to try to get...

attention, but please, negro. (I'm AA, btw.)

2. Jeeze some people will do or say ANYTHING.

I dont think this will help him beat the GOP incumbent

3. Desperation thy name is Kyle Greene.

We'll also get another media cycle of why can't fill in the blank use the N_word blathering.

4. I get that he's an independent and biracial, but still don't get why he

would use that term.

8. He wanted to.

14. i believe it was a bad attempt

of being edgy, and clever.

he said he wanted to be his consituent's n*****. He may have wanted to use to mean he'd be subservient to his constituents, be their servant, do whatever they wanted him to. A dumb way to try and get across the message that he'd be accountable.

6. Oh for goodness sake

9. Who is backing him

All the Green Party candidates seem to be Republicans in sheeps clothing. Is he a right backed spoiler?

10. A little more info

https://kstp.com/politics/minnesota-house-of-representatives-candidate-calls-himself-n-word-in-ad-kyle-greene-district-18a/5051196/

... Kyle Greene, who identifies himself as of mixed race, is running as an independent for a central Minnesota district.
... Greene identifies himself as African-American, white and Cherokee Indian.

His campaign website
https://www.greeneforstate.com/

He sounds a little kooky (aside from wanting to be your N-word)

On his "On The Issues" page, his only issue is Judicial Reform. So apparently has this one issue grudge.

12. kook is the word that came to mind for me

from the ad and from the website.

11. We have a Libertarian running in Iowa who called legislators C**Ts

The arrogance of Libertarians reminds me of the members of the Federalist Society. Plus stupidity.

13. So I already dismissed him as a nutcase from just reading about dude...

but I was strongly hoping he didn't use the HARD "er" when using that word.
Smh.
