White Voters Civil Rights Violated By Black Dems

What is the point of this copy and paste
collection of right-wing complaints linking an allegation about fair voting
practices and images of Africans being lynched in the United States of America?   I fail to see the connection principally because
there is no such connection.   If you really want to discuss unfair
voting practises, where were you and the others on NP in support of this post
in Florida, Ohio and Tennessee for the presidential elections of 2000 and 2004?  More
than 1 Million African males were illegally removed from the voters rolls
and even after the Florida State election office admitted that “mistakes” were made, the elimination
of some 50,000 alleged felons from the Florida voting
rolls that incorporated many voters who were eligible to vote under Florida law stands
out as a major international embarrassment. 
How can the U.S. push a racially-blind democratic ideology wave across the world
when Africans and many traditionalist Native Americans are effectively
prevented from voting in the United States. 

And I also find it highly hypocritical that the White
folks upset by all this and who refuse to accept White racism as a reality in American
society have no ethical issues with using a law designed to protect the voting
rights of Africans who were prevented from voting due to historical and legal
anti-African racial bias.  The very existence of the law and their recognition of the law in this case by fiat proves that the basis for the law in the first place is empirically accurate.  This is
fundamentally no different than the drug addicted Rush Limbaugh or closeted
homosexual Senator Larry Craig employing the services of the ACLU when there
were no other recourses available to save their hides from prison time.  The law is supposed to apply equally although
we all know that equality in America
does not exist, yet as a nation we are too fearful to admit in a conversational
tone this most basic truth.  Honesty in
this and other such cases is self-incriminating of the U.S. and
American society in general. 

Quoting Prof. Manning Marable:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Of course, the U.S. Supreme
Court had much to do with the Bush victory, building upon the deliberate
removal from the voter roles of literally tens of thousands of eligible black voters
by Jeb Bush and Katherine Harris in Florida. And, over three years later, the
Democratic Party has done virtually nothing to challenge that
disenfranchisement or even to make it an issue during this 2004 election year.

"Neither the
Republican nor the Democratic Party, as a political organization, is interested
in transforming the public discourse on race, though for different reasons. The
Republicans deliberately use racial fears and white opposition to civil
rights-related issues like affirmative action to mobilize their conservative
base. The national Democratic Party mobilizes its black voter base, in order to
win elections, but in a way that limits the emergence of progressive and Left
leadership and independent actions by grassroots constituencies. . .

"What we need is to
revive the vision of what the Rainbow Coalition campaigns of 1984 and 1988
could have become. A multiracial, multiclass political movement with strong
participation and leadership from racial minorities, labor, women's organization
and other left-of-center groups could effectively articulate important
interests and concerns of the most marginalized and oppressed sectors of
society. It would certainly push the boundaries of political discourse to the
left. . ." (Marable, pps. 89-91)

It is a known fact that the Euroamerican population of Noxubee County, a
rural county in the state of Mississippi (pop., 12,500) with a minority
population hovering around 30% feels extremely marginalised due to a perceived
loss of socio-political power in large part to their derma-graphically
diminishing numbers.  Ku Klux Klan
membership in MI has risen in the past five years and White racist activism in
the south has been on the upswing for more than a decade.  All of this points to a psychological issue
that many White people as individuals and communities need to face up to and
deal with in a reasonable and responsible manner.  Instead we are
witnessing a White backlash that many foreign observers find disturbingly
reactionary and potentially damaging to what progress has been made for across
the board equality.  But for many White
people who feel that they should forever reside unquestionably at the top of
the list for exceptionalism in the U.S., the fact that they are no longer
guaranteed the first places in line destroys their sense of entitlement to
unearned White privilege.  

It is standard practise in
the U.S. for supposedly disaffected Whites to cry “reverse
racism” when they cannot dominate social, pedagogical and political machinery
or receive privileges what they traditionally expect to enjoy.  I recently posted videotaped evidence of a
comment made by President G.W. Bush in reference to the Texas African community
in which he made it clear that since Africans, whom have traditionally voted
democrat since John F. Kennedy, “The Blacks didn’t come out for me
like the Hispanics did, so they’re not going to see much help from me.” The
Bush political machine which appointed a handful of pro-republican people
of colour to positions of marginal responsibility in Texas, many of which who
supported his office in pushing reforms that did virtually nothing to improve
the living conditions of the African electorate in that state, did not feel
that he was the candidate they wanted in that office and their votes reflected this.  For the future president of the entire
country to make such a boldly bigoted statement is elucidating in that this and
other biased commentary coming from Mr. Bush and other GOP candidates and
supporters either go unmentioned or simply dismissed as “opinion” by pundits on
either side of the political aisle. 

It is entirely possible that the principles at the centre of this case were
trying to do exactly what Whites have done for more than two centuries in the
South, in particular Mississippi, which earned a hangman’s noose or bombed-out house for Africans
attempting to actualise their 13th, 14th and 15th amendment rights.  A historical factoid neo-conservative
Euroamericans and immigrants escaping similar bias in thier home countries would rather view through
revisionist lenses as an unfortunate but isolated aberration that has no
bearing on the American idea of justice for all people regardless of ethnicity.
 While this does not in any way excuse
Ike Brown, provided the charges are true, the fact that conservatives and White supremacy advocates are
jumping on this case as solid evidence of widespread repression of White civil
rights is bogus and intentionally misleading. 
For every one case such as this that could possibly be raised, there are
literally thousands of such cases in which Whites have extra-legally excluded
non-Whites in employment, education and political representation not in the
past but in the present day for all to see. So placing all of their White angst
on this one isolated incident is not only false, but intentionally misleading
when similar crimes are perpetuated on a regular basis against Africans, North
American Aboriginals, Asians and Latinos.       

And in conclusion, racisim
is spelled, racism.
