Spartanburg County Sheriff Chuck Wright says the comments he made about racism and minority groups at a meeting recently are being twisted into "political nonsense."
During a talk at a Greenville Spartanburg Republican Women meeting April 7, Wright called the NAACP and Ku Klux Klan racist groups. He was responding to a question about the Ferguson, Mo., officer-involved shooting.
He told the group the "most racist people in America right now sometimes are even minorities."
"I feel like that (NAACP) is a racist group, as well as the KKK. I don't care about them either," he said during the meeting. "I don't want to be a part of no group that's got something to do just because of your color. I don't think they're right."
