It looks as if Rep. Alvin Holmes has taken a word from Kanye’s rhyme book, “racism is still alive, they just be concealing it.”
The Alabama Democrat representative stated yesterday that white people would force their child to have an abortion if the father was black.
Rep. Holmes made the comments during a debate on a bill in the Alabama state house which would see the state implement the toughest abortion laws in the U.S. The comment was made shortly after Rep. Mary Sue McClurkin compared her bill to restrict abortions to the landmark Supreme Court case Brown vs. Board of Education.
Targeting Republican lawmakers, Holmes claimed that 99 percent of white representatives who are against abortion would change their mind “if their daughter got pregnant by a Black man.” The state’s House ultimately passed the bill, written by McClurkin, to prohibit abortions in the state once a fetal heartbeat can be detected.
