Lakeland, Florida utility board member Steve Wade seems to have forgotten that describing African-Americans as “animals” and suggesting that African-American teen girls do nothing but get knocked up constantly isn’t exactly the best career move — but while he says he used the “wrong word,” he stands by his claims.

In a September 4 budget meeting, Wade said that Northwest Lakeland has a bit of a black problem. “Here in Lakeland we’re seeing everything,” Wade said. “Our black community in the northwest section — not just the gangs, but just a culture that has really gone backwards, almost like animals.”

He continued, “It’s not just the gang problem, it’s the teenage girls. We’ve got to get them to say no and quit having these babies. The culture in that community is spreading into other parts of Lakeland.”...

Wade offered no facts and figures for his claims, but he did later “apologize.” “When I used the word that I used and I apologize for that,” Wade said. “As soon as it came out of my mouth. I knew that was wrong.”

Well, at least they're animals. I'm pretty sure this Steve Wade is an amoeba.
