Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush’s (R) new chief technology officer misrepresented civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. in an effort to disparage the Black community and supporters of affirmative action, the Huffington Post reported on Tuesday.
Ethan Czahor was hosting a radio show at East Stroudsburg University in Pennsylvania in 2008 when he wrote a blog post, since deleted, with an advisory for readers who were “white liberal who feels guilty for being white.” The post and the site are inactive, the Post reported, but they were preserved on the Internet Archive.
“Martin Luther King, Jr. was a well-dressed, extremely well-spoken man; he didn’t have his pants sagged to his ankles, and he wasn’t delivering his speech in “jibberish” or “slang” (ie. he wasn’t speaking like a rapper),” Czahor wrote. “He understood that looking respectable and speaking clearly and concisely isn’t a trait of white men — it’s a trait of intelligent men.”
Update, 9:07 p.m. EST: CNBC reported that Czahor resigned from Bush’s political action committee on Tuesday night.
