President Obamaâs pick to head the Federal Housing Finance Agency once said that a âmajority of white votersâ would never vote for a black candidate and that they should be excluded from âthe democratic process.â
The White House announced Wednesday that Obama will nominate Democratic North Carolina Congressman Mel Watt to take over the FHFA, which regulates Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the countryâs government sponsored mortgage companies.
Watt, the former chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, has in the past accused white Americans of racism.
âThere would be a substantial majority of white voters who would say that under no circumstances would they vote for an African American candidate,â Watt said October 14, 2005 during a Washington hearing held by the National Commission on the Voting Rights Act.
The Voting Rights Act should be expanded to âadjust districts to take [racially motivated voting] into account,â Watts said.
Such voters âneed to be factored out of the equation,â Watt said, because âIâve got no use for them in the democratic process.â
