Bratz: Proof the whole world can come together as one, as long as we dress like sluts.
Associated Press – June 30, 2007:
A federal judge has ruled that a majority black county in eastern Mississippi violated whites’ voting rights in what prosecutors said was the first lawsuit to use the Voting Rights Act on behalf of whites.
U.S. District Judge Tom S. Lee ruled late Friday that Noxubee County Democratic Party leader Ike Brown and the county Democratic Executive Committee “manipulated the political process in ways specifically intended and designed to impair and impede participation of white voters and to dilute their votes.”
Lee said he could not find that the defendants had a specific animosity against white people.
“Brown, in fact, claims a number of whites as friends,” Lee wrote. “However, there is no doubt from the evidence presented at trial that Brown, in particular, is firmly of the view that blacks, being the majority race in Noxubee County, should hold all elected offices, to the exclusion of whites; and this view is apparently shared by his allies and associates on the NDEC, who, along with Brown, effectively control the election process in Noxubee County.”
Politicians are politicians are politicians. Just this weekend, I saw the Black mayor of an American city (I won’t say where) who marched alongside me in the Civil Rights March on Washington in 1963. He was making predictable sound bites about issues – as if he was hatched from the same corrupt clone machine as any other urban hack in the past 200 years.
Come to think of it, Joe Lieberman was on that March, too. A number of Democrats and Republicans at the national level were taking part. He didn’t want to miss the photo ops.
This is what is known as affirmative action. What is the problem?
Why is this a big deal, but when peoples of color have their voting rights violated, it is NEVER mentioned?
Don’t have too much to say to the above article that hasn’t already been said… Though I make this response to the Bratz pic. Bratz = Briquette? Bwahahaha.
#3. That must be some really good stuff you are smoking.
3 – so two wrongs make a right? No of course they don’t.
#6, But three rights make a left.
Maybe #3 should have added, when blacks are disenfranchised, little is done about it.
The Judges decision is based upon people holding political meetings in private homes. I would have thought the complaint would have been to the State Democratic party. If this sets a precedent that political meetings must be held in public, then the Republican party will be more vulnerable to voting violations.
Whites were not impeded in voting. They were not the same part of the process as so many little people find themselves in around the rest of the country.
8–Right you are. VERY BADLY written article as it is all conclusions with no supporting facts other than “meeting in private homes” which I would have thought was either ok or up to the Dem party? Tell me white Repugs aren’t doing that all the time???
Also add to say that after being found as intentionally excluding whites that there was specific animosity towards them? Thats right, nothing personal here, just politics.
“The judge said there was a pattern to Brown’s efforts to keep all whites out of the county’s Democratic Party, including holding party caucuses in private homes rather than public voting precincts ”
Huh? Party caucuses for all political parties are held in private homes.
The US attorney handled this case. Do you suppose it might be connected to the US attorney scandal where US attorneys who did not file voting fraud charges against Democrats were fired?
Nah, of course not. How silly of me to think so.
Phew! Glad that was cleared up. For a minute there I thought that it was possibie for black people to be racist. Another urban legend exposed!
