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?

Arthur Shores, Rufus Lewis, Dr. C.G. Gomillion, Q. D. Adams, Isom Clemon, and Beulah Johnson must be turning over in their graves

H/T Speaking Out News
  Dr. The Arthur D. Shore Superior Leadership Award was presented to Eddie Cedric Sherrod, Sr. on May 11, 2013 by Dr. Joe L. Reed, chairman, Alabama Democratic Conference (ADC). Eddie Sherrod, Madison Co. ADC chairman, received this award for his consistent record, community outreach, dedication, and overall effectiveness for more than a decade of service to the people of Alabama and ADC.

The History of the Alabama Democratic Caucus, also known as the ADC
"The Alabama Democratic Conference, formerly known as the Black Political Caucus of Alabama, was established in 1960. Its leaders were African Americans who wished to encourage all voters, but especially other African Americans, to vote for the democratic candidate, who at the time was John F. Kennedy with vice president Lyndon B. Johnson. The founders of this influential group include Arthur Shores, Rufus Lewis, Dr. C.G. Gomillion, Q. D. Adams, Isom Clemon, and Beulah Johnson. All of these individuals held respectable positions in their communities and were looked up to by the people, especially by other African Americans."
It has come to my attention the Chair(s) of the Madison County Chapter of the Alabama Democratic Conference  thought it was appropriate, for lack of a better word, to have District 1 School Board mis-representative Laurie McCaulley, who was ostracized from the black elected officials group for siding with WARdynski against her constituents,  serve as Mistress of Ceremonies for their annual membership breakfast, and, to add insult to injury, honor Huntsville City Schools Superintendent Casey WARdynski for doing the following:
Casey you have to break the mold and prove you're not afraid of minorities, democrats, liberals, aclu types and the entire entitlement crowd! Do that, and you'll be doing the job you were hired to do! Oh yeah, not to mention striking down all racial transfers. And that includes allowing not allowing whites to racially transfer either. If you don't like where your child goes to school, move to where they can be zoned into a school of your preference, that's what I had to do!
 Why? I mean, seriously, why would a group of democrats honor a card carrying, republican for proving he is not afraid of minorities, democrats, liberals, aclu tyes and the entire entitlement crowd?

Somebody talk me down, because EYE am going to start taking names and making a list of the Uncle Toms and Aunt Thomasina's around here.
a black who is overeager to win the approval of whites (as by obsequious behavior or uncritical acceptance of white values and goals)
With democrats like this, who needs republicans?   Psst Madison County Chapter of the Alabama Democratic Conference, you either need to lead, follow, or get the heck out of the way of those of us who are sick and tired of being sick and tired.
