As you can see from the video, Holtorf gets really upset that people are “yelling at him” for using a term that any nitwit knows to be racist (Holtorf claims that “Buckwheat” is a term of endearment, which just makes it worse). It’s hard to give Holtorf the benefit of the doubt anyway; after all, this is the same guy who told Rep. Tom Sullivan — whose son was killed in the Aurora Theater shooting —
So, some Rep. speaking directly to Holtorf (R-Klan) from the lectern as, “Just hold on a moment, I’m getting there, cracker . . .” is just expressing his “endearment,” because, obviously, is there anyone anywhere who doesn’t really love a good saltine???
Otay, then . . .
. . . splain’ away this one, Fluffy?!
. . . but his friends called him “Stanley,” or just “Stan,” . . .
. . . or “Mr. Dural” . . .
We know Republicans all over this country are panicking because Caucasians will soon be the minority race. But it's important to dig down a little to see what they're panicking over – it's not just the loss of power they face – it's the loss of the power to dominate others including racial minorities and women, it's the loss of power to write the rules on a slanted playing field so that white men always come out a little ahead, it's the loss of power to win elections because you can attract large sums of corporate money AND the money of wealthy white men who also don't want their power structure threatened. Apparently these guys are far weaker and more unstable at their core than we ever knew.
👏🏼👏🏼
No filters on Republicans now days. No tact. No subtly. No nuance. No class.
Wait, please.
Maybe they are not racist. They just say racist things.
Maybe they are not racist, they just say things that racists like and agree with.
Maybe they are not racist. Who is to say?
"OK If you aren't a racist then stop acting like one."
Buckwheat is also a Mother Grain; being a farmer Rep Holtorf would know about it. Unfortunately, he wasn't referring to that special grain *or* transformative power when he used the slur.

(Seventy-five percent of all food calories on the planet come from twelve plants and five animal species. Of the 4% of the 250 000 to 300 000 known edible plant species, only 150 to 200 are used by humans. Only three – rice, maize, and wheat – contribute nearly 60 percent of calories and proteins obtained by humans from plants).
folks from Ohio don't mind being called Buckeyes … that's just about the same thing, right?
Uhh No. Maybe if you called them Buckholes.
