Local Wisconsin GOP party slammed for 'white supremacist' meme that meant
to mock critical race theory

The Republican party of Winnebago County in Wisconsin was being
lambasted over a meme that they said was supposed to be a joke mocking
critical race theory.


The meme was posted to the local Republican party's Facebook page in June.
The meme had an image of a white male and read, "Know the warning signs
of White Supremacy."

Critics pounced on the meme and called it racist. Ben Winkler, the chair of
the Wisconsin Democrat Party, told WISN-TV that the post was "explosive
with outright racism."

A local reporter from WISN-TV chased down Ed Hudak, the chair of the GOP
party, at his home to get some answers. Hudak said that the post was
meant to be a commentary against critical race theory, but that Facebook
didn't let him elaborate on the issue.

Hudak laughed the reporter off when he asked if he would take down the
post, but later that afternoon, it was taken down.

A screenshot from the now-deleted post showed a further comment from the
GOP account explaining the point of the meme.

"You should be shaking because this is the kind of racial theory that has
invaded our universities and now our local school. When you study the
Critical Race Theory the post above is how it plays out in our society and
schools,"
Wisconsin state Rep. Lee Snodgrass, a Democrat, explained to Wisconsin
Public Radio why the post was offensive.

"I think that the suggestion that white people alone are law-abiding,
successful people is inherently racist and disgusting," said Snodgrass. "And I
think that post is very much suggesting that people of white descent are
superior to others because of a number of things that are obviously not
linked to the color of anybody's skin."
