State Senator (R) Vicki Marble of Fort Collins is a racist.

A Republican state senator stunned her colleagues Wednesday during a discussion on poverty when she talked about blacks eating chicken and Mexicans eating vegetables until they move to the United States.

Sen. Vicki Marble of Fort Collins's remarks drew a stinging rebuke from a black state lawmaker.

"When you look at life expectancy, there are problems in the black race," Marble said. "Sickle-cell anemia is something that comes up. Diabetes is something that's prevalent in the genetic makeup and you just can't help it.

"Although I've got to say, I've never had better BBQ and better chicken and ate better in my life than when you go down south and you, I mean, I love it. Everybody loves it."

Marble also said
Mexicans eat healthy until they immigrate to America....

Sadly, she'd fit right in with the putzes who want to secede.

And she is saying, predictably, that her remarks have been taken out of context. Fort Collins deserves better.

That first comment was especially insensitive.....and, to make matters worse, it seems that she never apologized, either. What a maroon.
