EYE am willing to forgive Mike Bloomberg but EYE can't forget what Mike Bloomberg did


This sample ballot is misleading and incorrect.

Cue in Aretha Franklin-Willing to Forgive 

"Because you really, really hurt me this time".  Someone EYE love was racially profiled in New York City under the Stop and Frisk policy so this is personal to me.  
The young man in question is the son of a very dear friend of mine. I've known him since he was an infant. His only crime was being a young black man between the ages of 18 and 24 years of age.
As my wise Daddy once told me, I will support and defend you when you are done wrong, but I won't support and defend you when you do wrong and there is no right way to do the wrong thing.

 EYE don't condone the decision of the Alabama Democratic Conference to endorse Mike Bloomberg and this morning EYE wake up to the news the endorsement will bite them in the Donkey, which EYE suspect was the plan all along.
THERE IS NO AMBIGUITY HERE. IF YOU VOTE FOR MICHAEL BLOOMBERG FOR PRESIDENT AND VOTE FOR “UNCOMMITTED” DELEGATES THINKING THAT THEY WILL SOMEHOW BE ASSIGNED TO HIM AFTER THE ELECTION, YOU ARE MISTAKEN.
Your vote for Bloomberg for President will count. Your vote for Uncommitted delegates will be ignored.
And yet, this the sample ballot distributed outside churches in Madison County today seems to indicate that you can vote for Bloomberg AND the ADC’s endorsed “Uncommitted” delegates. You can; the machine won’t reject your ballot. But it also won’t count the votes for the Uncommitted delegates.
There is a concerted effort to control African American voters in Alabama, and EYE guess we aren't supposed to notice we are fighting with each other while the DNC is standing on the sideline egging it on. 

Ironically Americans from across the nation converged on Selma, Alabama to re-enact Bloody Sunday but the struggle is not over. Then as now, we are struggling to vote.  Republicans suppress the Black vote, Democrats depress the black vote.  What to do and where to go?

RedEye tiptoeing away from the computer to go pray.
