Rep. Campfield's Identity Crisis

According to Democratic Rep. JoAnne Favors, Republican Rep. Stacey Campfield may be having an identity crisis. The African-American Democrat suggests that the white Republican has African features.

Campfield is the white Republican who made national news when he compared the State Black Caucus to the KKK. After the Black Caucus told Campfield he could not join the Caucus because he is white, the Republican retorted that the Black Caucus is more racist than the Ku Klux Klan.

According to Rep. JoAnne Favors, treasurer for the Tennessee Black Caucus:

"Stacey Campfield's request to join the Tennessee Black Caucus of State Legislators could be motivated by his instincts. His skin tone and facial features remind me of my mother and some of her family members who are of African and Irish ancestry.

Perhaps he is having an identity crisis."

We've had similar thoughts at this blog. Our first story on Campfield's most recent controversy was entitled: White GOP Lawmaker Wants to be Black .

The venerable Jesus General also noted Campfield's racial confusion.

All 18 members of the Black Caucus are Democrats. If the Republican party would like to infiltrate the Black Caucus, perhaps they should consider making an effort to recruit some Black Republicans. But for some reason, duh, Republicans have great difficulty attracting non whites to their party.

With Stacey Campfield on board as the champion anti Black recruiter, it is unlikely that Republicans will attract Black candidates or even voters.

Gee, maybe Campfield is a plant, put there by the Dems in order to discourage Blacks from even thinking about voting Republican.

But check out Campfield's skin tone and facial features (and maturity level):
