WHITE DEMOCRATS ACCUSE A BLACK DEMOCRAT OF BEING RACIST AGAINST THEM?

"Trial resumes in Noxubee County reverse discrimination case
Associated Press

JACKSON, Miss. - The federal trial of a black Democratic Party official in Noxubee County entered its second week Monday with more testimony anticipated from whites who claim their right to participate in the election process has been violated.

Ike Brown, the chairman of the county's Democratic Executive Committee, is accused of violating the 1965 Voting Rights Act, which was written to protect racial minorities when Southern states strictly enforced segregation. It is the first use of the act to allege discrimination against whites.

Noxubee County is a rural area along the Alabama line with a majority black population.

On Friday, two white witnesses said Brown had threatened to challenge their right to cast ballots in the party's 2003 primary. In addition, an unsuccessful white candidate for Noxubee County supervisor told the federal judge he was unfairly treated by the defendant as to how absentee ballots were counted in a close race against the eventual black winner.

Federal prosecutors want U.S. District Judge Tom Lee to rule whites' voting rights were violated by Brown and other black Democratic Party officials in the county and to order unlawful practices stopped.

Cheri Anne Eaves and Kari Hardy testified on Friday that Brown accused them of being disloyal Democrats and had threatened to try to deny their right to vote in the 2003 Democratic primary. Brown allegedly had put them on a list he circulated of 174 white voters he would challenge as ineligible to participate in Democratic Party election because they were closet Republicans.

"I was angry that anybody would have the right to say I couldn't vote," Eaves said.

Despite the threat of being challenged at the polls, she told Lee she did vote in the Democratic primary. Hardy said she did not vote.

Both women testified that they didn't understand why Brown could question their right to vote. They said they hadn't voted in Republican primaries before. Mississippi has open primaries for the two political parties to hold and doesn't require voters to register as Democrat or Republican.

Brown claims the U.S. Justice Department is misconstruing as racial intimidation his attempts to keep Republicans from voting in Democratic primaries. However, the Justice Department alleges that the "relentless voting-related discrimination" is based on Noxubee County blacks trying to shut whites out of the process."

- Are incidents of 'reverse discrimination' such as this alleged case just as concerning as any other form of racism?


Yes, it is equally concerning as any other form of racism 16
This practice is not new, the Majority created it and continues to refine it, it is wrong period... 3
No, it is not as concerning as racism against minorities, because they'd feel more alienated 0

All forms of such racism are concerning to me- regardless of which group is being discriminated against.

Congratulations, Socrates. You win the coveted Herzog Memorial "Trolling for Rare Events in an Attempt to Insinuate They are the Rule" award.

Whats concerning is that a term such as "reverse discrimination" even exists, not to mention the fact that many people openly use it and are not chastised for using such a racist term.

This is just discrimination, nothing reversed about it. The term "reverse discrimination" suggests that normal discrimination can only be committed by white people.

Anti-white racism is inherent in the very language we use today.

I hope they win, it could be a landmark case.

However this begs the question of why many of the whites who scream the loudest about discrimination against whites never have a word to say about discrimination against non-whites, preferring to promote the ridiculous notion that white males are most discriminated-against minority in the history of the world.

By the way, where's herzog?

I am amazed that one of our apologists for racists minorities (especially racist liberal minorities) was able to at least mouth the right words.

It's about time certain people realized that tolerance isn't defined as attacking whites, that not being a racist means not being racist against everyone, including the majority. A big step for some, common sense for most.

025 You are the embodiment of a Racist Herzog, you will never be nothing more than that (you are a sad sack, and that sack is filled with hate, your choice)...With that being the case (and of cause a FACT), that reality has nothing to do with the ballot question...I answered the ballot question as I believe, now, should you not be scouring the internet for demeaning (and adding your infamous misrepresentation of the facts) material about people of color?

Also, never mistaken me for an apologist for anyone but you to mankind...

Herzog you are not a racist. Some people can not handle the truth. You are not a sad sack filled with hate. These Liberals do not like anyone who disagree with them and to call them a racist is the only come back they have.

^Thats rude and unfounded. Trust a liberal to resort to ad hominem attacks rather than addressing the points.
by Doctordraw on Fri Jan 26, 07 7:58am [+]

BBC is absolutely right, herzog is the biggest racist on B&W, by far. He's always the first to whine about discrimation against whites, while putting up ballot after ballot spreading his racist views towards non-whites. Hypocrisy, bordering on insanity.
by cranky on Fri Jan 26, 07 8:18am [+]

Like I said babs, you did well here, and were in fact able to acknowledge the wrongs committed by a group of nonwhites against a group of whites. That is nothing short of remarkable (I guess by your own logic this makes you an unpardonable racist eh?). Don't ruin this transformation by being yourself.
