Chris Buttars: A Racist?

It is my understanding that he has been a member of the Church for a very long time, so I would like some feedback to what do you think about the "black baby" statement he made.

Since the incident he has apologized. Do you consider him a racist? Do you think it is a common mindset (although not openly expressed) within members of the Church with regards to Black folks?

I think that Chris Buttars' remarks reflect how a lot of people feel about immigrants in Utah. There are a couple of Threads here of direct quotes from Utahans about the immigrant situation and they are beyond their tolerance level.

Chris Buttars: A Racist?

To me when Chris Buttars said, "This baby" this problem, this challenge, "is black" is bad, is evil, why are we working on this? its his manner of speech. And yeah he needs to watch what is says because he's a conservative, and the liberals want him out in the worst way. The liberals have people who listen to every word he says to try to catch him and twist the meaning for their own EVIL, yeah I said it, WAYS. To me he's like an old testament prophet that the general populace doesn't like, because he stands up for truth. I'm ashamed of his fellow republicans, none of them dare to cross the liberals and stand along beside him. But then how many prophets were popular and loved? When the people are wicked, they won't tolerate good people standing for truth, and it sure seems like a person needs and extra serving of GUTS to serve in the legislature these days.
