In light of Alabama's harsh immigration law, and elected officials saying they will do anything short of shooting illegals and referring to African American citizens as Aborigines, among other things, the Feds are coming to Alabama. Yee Haw!
My favorite Righty's say America has a race problem but it is not what you think, it's them their coloreds that are racist because 94% of African Americans support Obama over Romney.
Poor things, they believe 94% of African Americans support President Obama over Mitt Romney is because he's black like them. I wonder what part of African Americans don't vote for candidates based on the color of their skin but the content of their agenda don't they understand?
The unit will be headed by Robert Posey, a longtime federal prosecutor who worked with Mr. Jones on the church-bombing cases. With a core group of five lawyers in Birmingham and Huntsville, it will handle cases from the northern half of the state.Welcome to Sweet Home Alabama, the cradle of the Confederacy, the birthplace of the Civil Rights Movement, and political prosecutions of liberal Democrats.
The Obama administration sued the state to block the law clamping down on illegal immigration after Republican Gov. Robert Bentley signed it last year, and Mr. Posey said the unit already is involved in two cases involving allegations of excessive force by law enforcement officers.
The department’s decision to place a civil rights unit in Alabama shows the state will has problems guaranteeing legal equality years after the civil rights era ended, said Shay Farley, legal director of Alabama Appleseed, a public interest legal office based in Montgomery.
“It highlights the fact that the war isn’t over,” she said.

I wish I could persuade the mother of a former HCS student to pay this office a visit. She won't though. Fear of reprisal. This summer, her daughter, a rising junior, moved to Mexico to care for ailing granny. When it came time to enroll in school, Mom went to get her transcript. Many calls and visits later, she was told that to get an official transcript with the embossed seal she would have to go to Montgomery, herself, in person.
I just hope this is not a just for show dog and pony show, all hat and no cattle.
It is going to be very hard to get even those who have been here for yrs and yrs to believe there won't be reprisals -- and frankly, if I were among their number, I wouldn't believe it. I don't believe it.
I hear you loud and clear my friend
