Civil & Human Rights vs State Suppression

Recently in the area commonly known as the south, it seems as
though there has been an upheaval of remorse and
indignation of past mistakes. However, if Justice would
be truly served, we'd all realize, that as a nation we
are in the same or worse condtition as we were in 1946.

I talked with an elderly blackman two days ago. And he
told me how he was mistreated in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana
(New Orleans, along with others as they were attempting to
register to vote. Why is it that in 2007 the Voting Rights
Act is to be considered again, as its legally binding tenets
will expire.

In 2005, you mean to tell me that the only way black folk
can vote legally is because of the Voting Rights Act. Where
are we, and why is, this?

Civil Rights & Human Rights vs State Persecution

A lot has happened in a very short period of time.
Here in this deep south, on a daily basis the rights
of us all are being violated. You would want to think
that in 2005, things would have by now settled down.

But, as the saying goes, what you see is what you get.
There is not a need to itemize the occurences, which
everyone is aware of. Society itself is about to
"regergitate" what it has consumed. There will be a
volatile backlash in the U. S., and subsequently
abroad as well. You see everyone expects America
the Beautiful to be just that. But the truth is our
expectations are grossly disappointed daily.

You just can't put 80 year old men in prison, for
a 40 year old crime and not expect, repercussions.
