A Wisconsin legislative candidate, Ieshuh Griffin is seeking a federal injunction against the state’s Government Accountability Board for voting to deny her the use of the phrase, “NOT the ‘whiteman’s b—-‘” in her campaign.
Griffin claimed, “the phrase was protected free speech. It’s a freedom of expression. It’s not racial. It’s not a slur.”
The all White board says, “it is pejorative and therefore not allowed,” citing “State law allows independent candidates to have five words describing themselves placed after their names on the ballot as long as it’s not pejorative, profane, discriminatory or includes an obscene word or phrase.”
One woman in attendance spoke up saying, “if a white candidate wanted to have the statement ‘not the black man’s b—-‘ put on the ballot, it would be soundly rejected.”
Griffin is an Independent vying against 3 Democrats.
