And therein lies the problem within the Alabama Democratic Party (cue in Dixie). There are two separate but unequal Elephants waging a civil war under the big tent, with the white Elephants trying to figure out how they can rise again without the black Elephants, especially those who stood up and made a difference.
Minority means "black" and nothing else to certain people on the SDEC Board, and therein lies problem number 2. You see, the ADP could rise again if they could just find a solution to the Joe Reed problem allowing them to kick them there special interest groups to the curb. (wave Confederate Flag)
What is the Joe Reed problem you ask? For one thing he's not one of those go along to get along Negroes who is content with being seen and not heard. He refuses to be treated like Chattel. There are some who believe black voters don't have enough sense to know who to vote for unless white folks tell them who their leaders should be. (cue in Eyes on the Prize).
Evidently the white Elephant is mad because the Black Elephant had sandwiches and met behind a curtain at the SDEC meeting in Montgomery (cue in scary music). But when you go inside the story, what they are really mad about is all the fingers on the hand worked together to form a mighty fist. It's a lesson the DNC could benefit from, not condemn.
The White Elephant claims it wants co exist with the Black Elephant in the big tent, but it's hard to co-exist with someone who doesn't consider you an equal.
A party divided will not stand.
No long fictional tail, just facts.
