Jeb Bush talks in Spanish how his children were taunted for brown skin (European, female)

[ntwrkguy1]

It's times like this when the best 2016 campaign slogan has to be:

No more Clintons.
No more Bushes.
And for God's sake, NEVER another Obama.


Jeb just needs to stop, and go buy a nice place down in Mexico with his wife. Then his kids wouldn't be taunted. They might be shot, but they wouldn't be taunted.

I cringe at the thought of a Clinton v. Bush election, and sure as hell hope that's not what we're heading for. It would be like two old athletes who didn't know when to retire. All we would need is for Bruce Springsteen's Glory Days playing in the background.

Why no more Clintons? We havent had that many Clintons, and the Clinton economy was the best economy we have seen since the 50s! I can totally understand why no more Bush's..

You're part Hispanic yourself

Just stop it, please. Either a person's Hispanic or NOT. You and I both know that Hispanic ain't a race. Too; there are many people out there with full Spanish names who ain't Latino, like people from the Philippines and some "anglo white" Europeans.

The only person in America that is being discriminated against is the white male. They have a right to complain. Everybody else needs to shut their mouths. Could that be why Bush wants to be Hispanic? As far as I am concerned Mexico can have him.

What he probably leaves out is that it was white Cubans who taunted his son.

Sad...but that's part and parcel of moving around in Republican circles - he should have known that.

I mean ol Piyush Jindal changed his religion, first name and painted himself a lighter skin on his governors portrait to fit in with conservatives.

Jeb has lost his identity. He wants to be a Mexican so send him to Mexico with his dumb brother.......

Hope his kids got over it.

What else can you say?

Good God, when will Bush understand he's not running for President of Mexico.

He can try to ingratiate himself as much as possible to Latinos, to prove he's different from old codger gringos or whatever, but in the end it's not a winning strategy because it comes off so phony and Hispandering.


(BTW: It's highly likely that if his kids grew up in Miami and were taunted, it would have been by the white Cubans who ran (run) Miami, and their progeny who are often "minorities of convenience." Also, his kids aren't THAT "brown," lol. I've seen straight up country white children tan up just as dark in the summer).

The term "latino/hispanic" has never had a concrete definition in the first place, so it isn't a stretch to call him that.

At least his kids appear to speak fluent English.

I don't think their mother does, though.

Have we ever had a non-English speaking 1st lady?
