Georgia mayor rants at voting activists, compares them to the Jonestown cult - Polidicks

https://thinkprogress.org/georgia-mayor-disparages-black-voters-matter-from-his-racist-rant-filled-facebook-page-e329d9519b28/amp/ LOUISVILLE, GEORGIA — The mayor of a Georgia town in the same county where administrators blocked Black Voters Matter from bringing elderly black voters to the polls said on Facebook Wednesday that the group’s work is “utterly reprehensible.” Barstow, Georgia Mayor Robert Morris, whose Facebook includes a number of racist posts, shared a status on Facebook two days after the county decided to prevent Black Voters Matter from bringing seniors to the polls. “It is utterly reprehensible that your group maintains that all black voters should vote for a black candidate just because they are the same color as you,” he wrote. “A man named Jim Jones once ran an organization like that. Better check that Koolaid you are serving up.” Black Voters Matter co-founder LaTosha Brown responded to the comment on the group’s Facebook page without knowing Morris’ role in Jefferson County. “[I]f you knew our work you would know we have supported and continue to support both white and Black candidates,” she wrote. “We support the best candidate for us. Your message makes an assumption based on your own racial bias.” Morris is the mayor of Bartow, a small town of just 286 people located 10 miles south of Louisville, where Black Voters Matter organized an event at a county-run senior center. Jefferson County is roughly 53 percent black, according to Census data. Cliff Albright, Black Voters Matter’s other co-founder, told ThinkProgress that Morris’ views are shared by an alarming number of people. “It is really a reflection of how as soon as we say ‘Black voters matter,’ all people like that hear is we only want to vote for black people because they’re black versus because of what the issues are,” Albright said. Albright noted that most people first learned about their organization last year, when they helped Doug Jones, a white candidate, win his seat in the Senate in Alabama. On Wednesday, Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams rallied in Louisville at an event attended by Black Voters Matter and the seniors who were removed from their bus. “Even if there are obstacles, we have to recognize that those obstacles are only permanent if we don’t fight them,” Abrams said about the voter intimidation. “We want to make certain that the folks of Louisville in Jefferson County understand that we are standing with them as they cast their votes.”

"How dare those pesky negroes use their constitutional rights against me, grrr!"

It's not the words that keep people like this in power, it's the force.

The Sith?

The irony of including a photo of a man who spends maybe three hours a day actually working, and the rest of the time he's watching Fox News and eating cheeseburgers and Tweeting shit.

So is this it? Are we just going to get daily news articles about Republican politicians exhibiting open content for their constituents?

Get ready to be conditioned to this and more as being the norm, as we have been. Sickening.

If you gerrymander and vote suppress to never lose you don't have to control what you say or do.

Yes, because this is totally going to make them vote Red.

Whoever makes the next standard for film projection had better name it Republican, because this is past even IMAX grade projecting.

What's an Obama Phone?

Some welfare recipients can obtain a free phone to help them find work/ stay in touch with their families. Conservatives of course screech at the thought.

For a sec i thought i was on Facebook.

Vote against the wall on Nov.9 ! OH YEAH!
