Alabama
and Georgia doesn’t just share a common border.
Instead both state’s Democratic parties share the same damn problems at
the same damn time. Although I haven’t
been blogging extensively, the Alabama Democratic Party (ADP) has seen a mutiny
of sorts with now former party leader, Mark Kennedy, jumping ship and forming
his own Democratic caucus. As a result,
the resident asshole, Joe Reed, and human Goodyear blimp, Nancy Worley, are
running the party when neither one of them are capable or possess the
competency to do the job. Anyways here
in Georgia, the Democratic Party of Georgia (DPG) apparently the same thing is
occur where the former chairman, Mike Berlon, whom faced a mountain-load of
criticisms that led to his resignation.
As a result, both Alabama and Georgia are without chairmen of their
state Democratic parties.
Another
parallel is the efforts of both Democratic parties to have white males as their
chairmen. DPG must have one because
according to Jim Galloway of the Atlanta
Journal-Constitution, party rules says that the
chairman and vice-chairman must be “demographically opposite” of one another.
First, the Charter provides that the Chair and the First Vice-Chair must be of opposite gender. (C.4.1.2). Since the State Committee elected a female First Vice-Chair at the last party general election, and that officer is still serving, the Charter requires that the Chair be male. Second, the Charter provides that where a racial group constitutes 20% or more of the registered voters in the state then at least one member of that group must be an officer as either Chair, First Vice-Chair, or additional Vice-Chairs. (C.4.1.3). The Party had been in compliance with this provision because the Chair was white. The resignation of that officer creates a non-compliance situation. The Charter, therefore, restricts candidates in this special election by race. Thus, any white male Democrat is eligible to run in this special election.”
ADP
doesn’t have such stringent rules.
Instead, they want to do this to appease to the mostly simple-minded (by
default racially prejudice) white Alabamian voters whom has jumped from the
Democratic to Republican affiliations because of the “big bad negro in the
White House” and the fact that ADP has been too stupid to evolve with the
times. The ADP has forced-fed the idea
of Alabama House Representative Craig Ford of Gadsden ought to be the de-facto
Alabama Legislative Democratic leader because he is white (shocker
right?). The same ideology is behind the
ADP whom wants its face to be led by a white male as well.
Sometimes,
a dragging ought to be in order like how Alabama House Representative Joe
Mitchell of Mobile did to that prejudiced ass that wrote him attempting to
chastise and patronize him about racial politics and gun rights.
I feel that ought to be the case with the demographic game of shuffle
that attempts to placate the “feeble minds” of those confirmation bias-seeking
types of white Southerners. It is
annoying to watch after something as ignorant as hell as this past week with
the weakening of the Voters’ Rights Act of 1964 on the grounds of “Section 5
being only applied to jurisdictions with historical precedence of racial
discrimination”. Though I do agree
Section 2 ought to be enforced which would guarantee pre-clearance nationwide, but we all know by now the GOP-led
US House of Representatives lacks the fortitude to pass such a progressive
statute since it would arguably work against the “grand scheme (of keeping
non-whites out of power in the long run)”.
On a
localized standpoint, Georgia and Alabama are both shifting demographically
away being predominately white states.
The rhetoric that seems to be tossed around by *sic (white) commenters
on both the Birmingham News and now
the Atlanta Journal Constitution
websites are that “blacks and Hispanics will wake up and becoming economically
independent and will become conservative”.
Actually, those dipshits don’t realize that the reason why black,
Hispanic, Asian, and other non-white Americans aren’t voting for Republicans is
simple they aren’t here for the mostly white Republican Party racial
prejudice. I’m done for now…
