Utah State Senator Chris Buttars, R-West Jordan, showed the real nature of his racism in comments on the Senate Floor. When another Senator said "this bill is an ugly baby," Buttars responded "this baby is black . . . this is a dark, ugly thing."

  • WOW...talk about taking something, someone says, completely out of context! I think it's clear that what was said was in no way racist. It has only been INTERPRETED that way. There is no way that anyone can be absolutely sure that what was said here was meant to be anything to take offense to. And since you can't be sure about the intended meaning of the words then it makes no sense to judge them. Give him the benefit of the doubt. Has no one here ever been misinterpreted before...come on!

  • I listened to the whole recording, and got the whole context. I also put the link to the recording in the video.

    The context is clear. They were talking about a metaphorical human baby. Other Senators described it as ugly. Buttars used "black" and "dark" as synonyms of ugly.

    There is no contextual ambiguity. This guy says desegregation was wrong and yesterday added that he didn't understand how lynching had anything to do with racism.

    He shouldn't represent Utah.

  • I've lived in Utah for many years. Buttars is the most flagrant proof of inbreeding and intolerance I've seen since "Big Ears" Kimball ran the mor(m)on church. So long as Utahns vote such idiots into office, Utah remains the asshole of America.

  • Wow - did you just say "intolerance."

    That's some rich irony.

    What we learn from leaders like Dr. Martin Luther King is that the way to fight intolerance is by giving a firm example of respect and Christian Love.

    Mcnarie, you seem to be cut from the same cloth as Senator Buttars, the difference being that I don't have to count you as part of my government (I hope.)

  • I believe Buttars needs to be stopped and that he is evil and corrupt.

  • Even if not intended as racist, the fact that he's stupid enough not to realize how that statement would be construed is enough to say this guy should never have been elected...even forgetting all of his other antics.

  • dick.

  • Utah a state of backwards, delusional, homophobic sheep...a state I won't ever be visiting..

  • Please see my history on Youtube: Edy Meredith Testimony.

    It tells how I was affected by the civil rights movement of the 60's & 70's in regards to the mormon church. 

  • Mormons are filled with hate for everything and refuse to preach PEACE!!!

  • ...I thought Cartman was the racist?

  • The bill is referred to as a baby. He then says that the baby is black, dark and ugly. It doesn't take a genius to know what he meant.

  • Chris Buttars just got extremely ripped on 'Melting Buttars' a song created by me and a friend. Come check it!

  • This guy and Jack Thompson probably have naked sleep overs together.

  • Who's Jesus Christ?

  • He wasn't refering to people, he was refering to the differance of dark being damaging instead of it being a good thing.
