Psst Alabama GOP! It's not about the racist language, it's about the racist behavior


In an attempt to claim Alabama is much different than it was 50 years ago,  republicans, led by  State Senator Arthur Orr (r. Decatur) are giving voters a second chance to confront their racist past and vote to remove racist language from the Alabama  State Constitution.  Yee Haw!!!

Not.

Alabama State Senator Hank Sanders (D.Selma) the Alabama Education Association, and other black Democratic lawmaker  say Amendment 4 is a wolf in sheep's clothing, it seems so good but it's so bad, because it's  way to go around the   Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court Ruling that outlawed segregated public schools, which the state is determined to continue to operate by hook or by Crook.

Amendment 4 will remove the Jim Crow language from the Alabama State Constitution, but it will highlight Amendment 111, which is the segregation/privatization of our public school system, it will also completely amend section 256 to read as 111, which is the only law in the state constitution that supports PUBLIC education.

So you see they want to remove the racist language so they can continue the racist behavior.

Nod Nod Wink Wink


Vote NO on Amendment 4 on November 6, 2012.  

It's not about the racist language, it's about the racist behavior.
