Virginia mayor is urged to resign and called racist for Facebook post saying 'Joe Biden has just announced Aunt Jemima as his VP pick'

The residents of a Virginia town are demanding their mayor resign after said in a Facebook post that Joe Biden 'just announced Aunt Jemima' as his running mate.

Luray Mayor Barry Presgraves posted the offensive remarks on his Facebook page in a now deleted post last weekend.

The town of Luray has a population of less than 5,000 people, with the majority of them being white. The town has a four per cent black population, according to census data.

Biden announced that he had chosenKamala Harris to be his running mate on Tuesday.

In June, Quaker Oats acknowledged that Aunt Jemima's origins were based on a racial stereotype of a 'mammy' and announced that the company would be removing the image and name.

We all grew up thanking Aunt Jemima for her delicious pancakes and syrup.

Ouaker Oats is crazy Touch my Mammy doll and we are going to duke it out. Mammy was an icon of child care. She was an endearing figure. I don't think Kamala Harris has earned such a beautiful title. She is a hateful woman.

How much black is enough black to satisfy politicians? How much of "the black experience" does one need to truly understand to be relevant and to make rational, appropriate changes to policy?

Kemela doesn't hold a candle to the accomplishments that Aunt Jemima (Nancy Green) did in her life.

She's not African American, that's for sure. She's a pretender. She grew up in the sheltered world of Liberal academia, her closest exposure to inner city black culture being four years at Howard University in the Baltimore suburb.

That is an insult to Aunt Jemima. kamela is no more black then jill biden is. kamela was doing things to distance herself from blacks until she decided to run for president herself. She took pleasure in locking blacks up so she could fit in with the whites and be accepted as one of them. She tries everything in her power to look white and she married a white. Then suddenly when she decided to run for president herself she's black.

I’m not a politician and any black is too much for this WHITE boy. And guess what, I wasn’t like that not long ago. But, you push it long enough and it catches on. Never thought of you as different from me and color didn’t enter my mind. You have changed me. I never felt sorry for you because you can be all you want to be. I do pity the road you have taken today. Do I need to spell it out for you, in other words screw you.

I guess posting hilarious jokes and satire is out the dang window these days! I thought it was a harmless yet very funny pun.

Has everyone lost their sense of humor here, or just the 3% of SJW's that shout the loudest?

I presume the latter...

It sounds very personal between you and the commenter at 3:05

Maybe you two should take it off-line?

Try to work it out in private.
