A Texas politician has been accused of “disgusting” dirty tricks after winning a local election against an African-American opponent by pretending to be black.
Dave Wilson, a conservative Republican standing in a district dominated by black Democrats, beat a 24-year-old incumbent to claim a seat on the Houston community college board. Wilson circulated campaign leaflets featuring pictures of black people he had downloaded from the internet, telling residents: “Please vote for our friend and neighbour Dave Wilson.”

The leaflet also declared that he had been “endorsed by Ron Wilson” – stating only in the small-print that this referred to the candidate’s cousin in Iowa, rather than a popular local black politician with the same name.
Wilson won the contest by only 26 votes. His opponent, Bruce Austin, accused him of waging a “disgusting”
campaign aimed at fooling black people.
“I don’t think it’s good for both democracy and the whole concept of fair play,” said Austin, who demanded a recount. Wilson defended his tactics. “Every time a politician talks, he’s out there deceiving voters,” he said.
Craig Cobb, an American white supremacist who wants to ban all blacks from the North Dakotan town of Leith, has discovered that he has African ancestry.
Cobb may now be unable to meet the racial purity benchmark he set to settle in his own town after the tests showed he was 14% sub-Saharan African.
He dismissed the findings of the test as “statistical noise” when confronted with the results on a television show.
But the results delighted the audience and a black guest on the show, who took a delight in addressing him as “bro”. [The Daily Telegraph]
