#SweetHomeAlabama Congress CritterTerrie Sewell Faking the Funk One Photo Op at a Time

Rep. Terri Sewell with President Obama and Civil Rights movement veteran Amelia Boynton Robinson.

Just when EYE think Mis-Representative Terri Sewell can't sink any lower, she does.  And, if there is any doubt the mainstream media enables false narratives,  look at the picture above then listen to Alabama State Senator Hank Sanders interview on Black Agenda Radio with Glen Ford, where he talks about her scheme to protect a racist southern icon,  enabled by non other than Rep. John Lewis.  SMH

State Sen. Hank Sanders and lots of other people in Selma, Alabama, want to name the Edmund Pettus Bridge for Amelia Boynton Robinson, the “Mother of Voting Rights” who died in August at the age of 110. Ms. Boynton Robinson was an activist in the 1920s, registered to vote in 1934, brought both Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and SNCC to Selma, ran for Congress in 1964, was beaten and left for dead by police on Bloody Sunday, 1965, and continued her political work until a month before her death. Edmund Pettus, on the other hand, was a Ku Klux Klan Grand Dragon. Hank Sanders won unanimous State Senate support for a bill to remove Pettus’s name, but “Congresswoman Terri Sewell interacted to try and prevent that name from being changed, and so did Congressman [John] Lewis,” said Sanders. “There was a concerted effort to keep the white supremacist’s name on the bridge.” Some in Selma believe the goal is to ultimately have the bridge named for John Lewis, who was also badly beaten on March 7, 1965. Rep. Sewell was rated Worst Black Congressperson on the CBC Monitor Report Card.

Psst...... Rep. Terri Sewell...now is not the time for photo ops and sound bites.  Just stop talking.  Do something for someone other than yourself for a change.

EYE Report.  YOU Decide.

Just this week, I was asked whether I thought the Department of Justice’s Ferguson report shows that, with respect to race, little has changed in this country. I understand the question, for the report’s narrative was woefully familiar. It evoked the kind of abuse and disregard for citizens that spawned the Civil Rights Movement. But I rejected the notion that nothing’s changed. What happened in Ferguson may not be unique, but it’s no longer endemic, or sanctioned by law and custom; and before the Civil Rights Movement, it most surely was. ~President Barack Hussein Obama

 Meet the New Jim Crow.

Fifty years ago, African-Americans were kept from the polls by the threat of beatings and lynchings. Today, Jim Crow has traded in his white sheets for spreadsheets. He’s Dr. James Crow, systems analyst. His method is lynching by laptop.
