Edit~ "Ensure that the Alabama Democratic Party Welcomes Inclusion and Diversity" My Donkey

“Don’t just overlook the hard work that we did,” said one black woman who canvassed for Doug Jones.

It appears the proponents of diluting diversity in the Alabama Democratic Party haven't given up the attack, I mean, fight.

As the petition signature page says:

Allow debate and a vote on a bylaw amendment that mirrors Democratic National Committee language to define ‘minority’ in order to make the party more inclusive, diverse, and to expand participation. For too long, the Alabama Democratic Party’s bylaws have not been reflective of the changing electorate in Alabama. It is time the Alabama Democratic Party joined the rest of the nation and defined ‘minority’ under National Democratic Party guidelines.

The proponents of inclusion and diversity must have the Alabama Democratic Party confused with the Alabama Republican Party , because if the photo above doesn't depict inclusion and diversity I don't know what does.

This isn't about inclusion and diversity, it's about reducing the representation of African Americans in the Alabama Democratic Party.

There is a perception that the ADP caters to black voters but ignores white voters. A significant number of Democrats, some on the SDEC, have expressed concern to me that the ADP will "become like Mississippi" where, I gather, race is the significant difference between the two parties. If you want to run for office and you're white, you run as a Republican, if you're black you run as a Democrat. Now, I know that isn't strictly the case in Mississippi since they recently had a white Democrat run (unsuccessfully) for Senate, but this is a huge concern for people who care about the Democratic party in Alabama.

How about some inclusion and diversity among  the Left in Alabama contributors?

Speaking of the media we have, do you think  newspapers would bury the story of a black sheriff wishing death on former President George W. Bush or Vice President Dick Cheney?  Heck no, they wouldn't.

Can we have a majority leader who is not skeered of the right wing Bully's?  It's time to give Harry Reid the Hook.

Paging the black political class!  The Vampires aren't coming...they are already here!

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.   Psst!  Anderson Cooper and Left in Alabama...can you hear State Senator Hank Sanders now?

Memo to the GOP:    You may as well keep that $10 million dollars you plan to spend on minority outreach in your pockets.  Just because we are minorities doesn't mean we are stoopid.  We know the gop will never change.   Once a Pit Bull always a Pit Bull.

This week marks the 10th anniversary of O.I.L. (Operation Iraqi Liberation) when Bush and Dick  sent our troops to war based on DEAD WRONG INTELLIGENCE to look for WMD that was NOT there, without body armor, or an exit plan.
