A tip for all of you 23-year-olds considering a run for public office — clean up your Facebook page.
And when you think you’ve gotten rid of everything damning, go back and clean it up again.
Dalton Huff, a recent college graduate from Oxford, is one of three Democrats seeking the party’s nomination for the state House of Representatives District 2 seat (which represents Person and Granville counties). As of Monday, his personal Facebook page is still home to an essay written in 2010 that calls for the south to secede from the United States, claiming that “listless Negros” were manipulated in the years following the Civil War by “Yankee carpetbaggers” and that the 1960s-era civil rights movement was actually “the cleverly disguised black power movement.” He also calls Abraham Lincoln a “stooge,” and refers to the former president and generals Grant and Sherman as “tyrants” and “despoilers.”

Huff DID remove some other controversial material from his Facebook page prior to his bid for office, but the Rant has obtained screen shots showing his profession was listed as “Head (N-word) In Charge” and photos of him admiring a birthday cake shaped like a pair of female breasts.
Huff did not respond to an email from The Rant asking for comments on his controversial views. A campaign video (below) on YouTube makes no mention of racial politics either.

This is an interesting line from his essay:
“Black and white pairings are now unblinkingly accepted, even encouraged, and more common than ever.”
Why is it interesting? Take a look at who he is engaged to.
He’s engaged to a Native American…maybe you should do some fact-checking.
She’s definitely not white, was the point I was making. I have no problem with it. It would seem that he and his friends have a problem with anyone that is non-white.
Either Dalton Huff is the most obvious of trolls or he’s merely taking advantage of being able to put his name on the Democratic ballot with out having to be put on there by the party.
Either way, his political paper is a pile of trash.
Gotta love how a paper in college gets taken out of context.
And a cake that his (at the time) girlfriend’s parents made for him.
And how someone called him that and it was thought funny, since there is, like one other worker there.
Love how this author actually investigated the man, instead of writing an article for the sake of shock value, even though the author lives in Lee County, and this site focuses on that area. Whereas Dalton lives in Granville County. This all seems suspect to me.
