‘Ghetto Grandmother’ Comments Upset Civil Rights Groups
October 6th, 2009
As reported on BET.com, Georgia Republican Congressman Nathan Deal found himself in some hot water after his remarks during a speech before a Republican club.
Deal, who is running for Governor of Georgia is an advocate of residents proving their US and state Citizenship before receiving state health services, referred to those who are elderly in the inner-city who have identification as “ghetto grandmothers.”
See the clip of Deal’s remarks here. He has since apologized for his comments.
