Black Americans Are 'Glad Their Ancestors Were Brought Here as Slaves,' Says North Dakota Legislator


In today’s episode of White People Who Can’t Even Be Anti-Race Without Being Racist, a North Dakota lawmaker has introduced a bill that would require agencies to list “American” as a race option on official government documents. It’s a ridiculous proposal that has all the hallmarks of fragile white people taking an “I don’t see color” approach to discussing racism in America, but this legislator managed to make his closeted bigotry even more apparent by saying that Black Americans are “glad their ancestors were brought here as slaves”




InForum reports that the bill proposed by Rep. Terry Jones (R-New Town), House Bill 1333, would mandate that state agencies list “American” as the first option on any form that asks for racial classification. So, before we get into Jones’ claim that Black people are happy our ancestors were owned as property because now we’re free-ish and breathing up all of this sweet American air, let’s talk about the bill itself.

North Dakota lawmaker drops bill that would make 'American' a race option on forms



Rep. Terry Jones said he chose to drop the controversial proposal because he's "on a quest to heal the country."


BISMARCK — North Dakota Rep. Terry Jones has withdrawn a pair of controversial bills, including one that would have allowed residents to designate their race as "American" on official documents.

Jones said he originally filed House Bill 1333 because he is "disgusted" with how race is used by bad actors to divide the country and the legislation would help unify Americans under a shared identity. Critics said the bill failed to acknowledge the nation's complicated history with race.

The New Town Republican said he chose to drop the controversial proposal on Thursday, Jan. 21, because he's "on a quest to heal the country." Jones added that he would like to give President Joe Biden's administration a chance to bring Americans together, and retracting the bill was his way of "extending an olive branch."

In speaking about the bill last week, Jones told Forum News Service that Black Americans are "glad their ancestors were brought here as slaves." Black social justice activists and Democratic lawmakers said the comment was blatantly racist, and some residents called on Jones to resign.
