Stop with the Faux Shock and Shame. Just stop. #SweetHomeAlabama #VoterSuppression

JD Crowe toons
Alabama continues to turn the hoses on blacks and the poor

EYE don't know which is worse, the Faux Shock and Shame, or the Faux Shock and Awe.

Give me a break.  It's not like you didn't know this was going to be the end result.


What did you expect was going to happen when you enabled republicans to dominate the government?


What did you expect when the republican majority Supreme Court over turned a key section of the Voting Rights Act?


What did you expect when you were dividing, bashing, and destroying the Alabama Democratic Party and it's leadership?


What did you expect when some of you didn't vote in the mid term election, or if you did, vote for republicans?


What did you expect when those of us who tried to tell some of ya'll this was going to happen  were told to STFU and STFD?


Now is not the time for Faux Outrage.   Now is the time for Action.


Action We Need to Take ASAP.


Talk is cheap.


EYE Report.  You Decide.

Black folks aren't "entitled" to vote in America

The more things change, the more they stay the sameSigh

Thirteen years after the Florida recount, it looks like republicans are going to get their way, once again using the same Supreme Court that handed them the election,  to snatch Section 5 away from the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

If you can't beat em, suppress em.

Can't say I didn't see this day coming.


Race still  matters.  If the election of the first African American President bought out the worst in some (not to be confused with all) white Americans, his re-election has driven them over the edge.  The looming Sequester is the big payback for the people who re-elected President Obama. Obama voters, already feeling  the pain of republican polices stabbing them in the back,  the Sequester will  twist the knife.
 
Let's be honest.. the word entitlements, rather it be in regard to spending or voting, is code for lazy black folks who want the government to take care of them and give them free stuff.

 “The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing ‘God Bless America?’ No, no, no, not ‘God Bless America,’ ‘God Damn America.’”

This is what Reverend Jeremiah Wright was talking about.

Can you hear him now?
