Warning, this post will be offensive, it will have offenive language, it is needed.
I have been lisening to the news for several days about police "visiting" black voters in florida, "investigating" voter fraud.
I know that those of you who are white do not take this too seriously. but....
TODAY!! In the south, if a cop visits a black person and mentions voting at ALL there is a very clear message. THe white folks, ( I am white, but I know how the south works,) will not want to hear this.
A cop metioning voting to a black person has a simple translation, the cop means it to be heard and the black person hears it, loud and clear.
Cop to Black man "... vote..." = "Nigger if you try to vote they will find your body in the swamp."
Yes I go over the top, but this is the state that has people ALIVE who still remember Rosewood. ( a black town burned to the ground becuase a white woman in an ajacent town CLAIMED she was raped, and never identified anybody.)
We should be all SCREAMING about these sorts of abuses.
(if you still think I am over the top, find a person of color, and ask if I am accureate here.)
My black wife, whose family is from Texas says that is definiatly reality in Texas, and would not be any better in the state run by Bush's brouther.
THis is an issue that we REALLY need to start focusing on, becuase the damage has ALREADY BEEN DONE. Black turnout will be lower in the counties where this has happened, NO MATTER WHAT WE DO. THreaten my life, and I am likly to stay home, especially whenn I know that the law will invitigate the crime, and will not find one of their own guilty.
Yes, I expect to get called down pretty good for this one, but hear my words, this message has been sent, and it has been recieved.
THink about it....
