Jasper County Presiding Commissioner John Bartosh, bombarded with social media commentary following the posting of a video on social media showing his 16-year-old son singing a racist song and drinking at Bernie's Bar and Grill in Avilla, issued the following statement this morning:
I want to begin by saying I am profoundly sorry for the racist things my son said.
My son is a 16 year old kid and what he said was hurtful and unnecessary. It does not represent the opinion of the County Commission or me as a person.
As parents we should, and will, do a better job educating our son about racial and cultural issues facing our society.
Because he is a 16-year-old kid and this is a family issue, it will be dealt with as a family and I want you to know this will not go unpunished.
I know this apology isn’t enough, and all I can promise is to do a better job for my family and my community.
John Bartosh

Minor son's head injury used to explain underage drinking and singing a song with invented racist lyrics that get posted on the internet and embarrassed daddy elected big wheel?
That's the Four Corners way?
P.S. Did the poor choices include the minor allegedly consuming alcohol illegally driving himself home from Bernie's?
White Privilege!!
