Stories like this make you look at the calendar to check the year. Yep, still 2014. And it is utterly embarrassing and shocking that anyone who holds these racist views are operating in any leadership role. Meet Kentucky's Southeast Bullitt Fire Chief Julius Hatfield. After stopping to help accident victims, one white family and one black family, he was caught on video having a friendly good ol' boy chat:
Video from a Bullitt County Sheriff's deputy's body camera shows Hatfield's department responding to a car accident on I-65, south of the Clermont exit in September. "Well, I've got a family of four from Cincinnati, I got to do something with," the Bullitt County deputy said in the video.
Hatfield replied, "We ain't taking no n------ here." Then he laughs.
And no, that's not all. When questioned by WDRB reporter Valerie Chinn about an investigation into the financial mismanagement (and possible fraud) of Hatfield's district, he went on:
"Do you understand English darling?" Hatfield replied. "Do you understand English?"
The man can't even hide his racism with the glare of television cameras. Of course he's now apologized off-camera, but it's time for the good people of Kentucky to send good ol' boy Chief Hatfield out to pasture.
this is not an isolated incident I know all White people in Ky are not like this because I have a dear White friend there who I cherish. but this is the sentiment of those who vote for those who promote this intolerance. I really have begun to look at the condition of this country differently sure republicans are selfish apathetic SOB's but they would not matter if it weren't for their voters of equal reprehensible character continually voting against their own interest in favor of somebody else's hate.
and no they don't try to hide it they IMO have steadily become more emboldened since the deadbeat dad joe Wilson first hollered "you lie" during the first state of the union address by this Pres., it come easy because it's second nature or first nature in most cases they just let it rip and stall and demand he the duly elected Pres. come bowing and smiling to them whoa I was about to curse. this is what half the power gets us elect one President 2016 and open the flood gates because here it comes.
