Black Lawmaker Makes Racist Claim About What He’d Do If He Was White

Dawn Parabellum Ernie Chambers, Nebraska’s longest-serving state senator, has recently made some bold claims about his skin color. Chambers has made some crazy statements before, but this incident tops the list. After saying what he would do if he was a white man, social media erupted in disgust, but what’s worse is that there will be no consequences for what he said.

The black Nebraska state senator has a history of making inflammatory remarks, and he did so again on Tuesday. Chambers calls himself an independent, but he leans more democrat than moderate and has been known to rile up legislative sessions in Nebraska in the past. It looks like he’s going to keep it up too.

Chambers said that he was so upset about a debate over a gender identity and sexual orientation discrimination bill that he was forced to watch the legislative session from his office. The reason he watched the debate from his office, according to his own words, was that he would resort to violence if he was there in person. “But the reason I do it down there — if I was up here I’d probably pick these books up and start throwing them around,” Chambers said.

However, that is actually kind of minor in comparison to what he said next. Chambers added, “If I was a white guy, I’d go get my semiautomatic weapon and come down here and mow everybody down.” There was surprisingly little response to his comments. Nebraska Speaker Galen Hadley did chastise Chambers for his ridiculous statement, but he followed up by admitting that there isn’t much he can do about it.

Chambers is commenting from a position of not being able to be held accountable for his threats. He is not only a lawmaker, but a minority, and as we’ve seen lately, both are protected classes in America. Chambers’ comments about gunning down his fellow lawmakers “if he was a white guy” are racist and threatening. He should be held accountable, but I’m not holding my breath. As we all know, a black politician can do no wrong, and any warranted criticism of them is dismissed as racism.
