| Slave States vs Free States 2012 |
Hello this is Hank Sanders, Alabama state Senator, and I’m still mad as hell. I say hell no! I ain’t going back to the cotton fields of Jim Crow days. I’m going forward with Ron Sparks, Jim Folsom and others who would do right by all of us. I hope you are mad as hell and will not go back, and you have the power to choose. I will stand until hell freezes over for Ron Sparks for Governor and Jim Folsom for Lt. Governor on November the 2nd.
Paid for by Alabama New South.
Remember Alabama State Senator Hanks Sanders warning to democratic voters prior to the 2010 election?
Remember how he was called a racist/race baiter among other things?
Some even went as far as to blame democrats for their demise.
I said then , and I say now, if white democrats had focused on WHAT Senator Sanders said, instead of WHO said it, we wouldn't be in this mess.
Thanks to the TeaPublican Congress and the red, republican, Confederate, Slave states, voter ID laws could disenfranchise thousands of voters in 2012. These are the states who went to war to keep black folks enslaved. These are the states who enacted Jim Crow laws. These are the states rights states.
African Americans recognize the code words, and the consequences of history repeating itself despite the denials, myths, and misinformation disseminated by the gop infused, media enabled, Tea Party, and some (not to be confused with all) white democrats sticking their heads in the sand.
Today's Must Read for White People Only
NOTE TO MINORITY READERS:This posting is FOR WHITES ONLY. Nothing personal but there's a conversation to be had here and it doesn't concern you. If you're African American or Hispanic or Asian or Arab - SCRAM! Gail Collins wrote a particularly witty piece in today's New York Times about a town in North Dakota where the unemployment rate is at one percent. Go read that. You'll all be welcome back with open arms when I write my next piece. Now SCAT, ya hear?
"Well there is a certain mean spirtness that's out there, not only in Alabama, but in America, and that's what makes this election so important"~ State Senator Hank Sanders in response to CNN's Anderson Cooper asking him what evidence he had republicans would take Alabama back to Jim Crow Days.

You know, Michael Moore was on CNN couple nights ago discussing the Aurora, Colorado mass murder - 17 miles from Littleton, Columbine High School massacre. 10 years and now we can buy assault rifles.
But Moore didn't really blame any of it on gun laws or availability. He blamed it again, as he says in "Bowling for Columbine," on this something about Americans - our culture, our 'nature' - that makes us so murderously violent. All through our history. Over and over.
And then he said it was fear. We are afraid of something, this something 'intangible and unexplained.'
Could it be -- THE BLACK MAN?
Redeye never seems to run out of examples of the actions resulting from paranoid fear.
Perhaps the next step forward should be learning to respect each other, and treat each other as equals and all of us worthy.
Then we wouldn't live in fear, stock up on guns, and arm the truly insane who live in our midst - and not notice how crazy they are because they act like the rest of us.
President Obama may be a lot of things, but a pure fact is he has been great for gun and ammo sales!
I don't think this is the kind of country I want to live in. Why do we let it stay so?
"Perhaps the next step forward should be learning to respect each other, and treat each other as equals and all of us worthy."
A mind is a terrible thing to waste and a hard thing to change.
