Should we venture into ANOTHER story that @BamaFan1137 and @EvilWayz will consider not to be "legitimate" accusations of racism...
Barney is sure to tell you even bringing stuff like this only hurts "real" accusations of racial discrimination
(Like he would know a "real" case of racial discrimination if it kicked him in the nutz)
Never heard about this Barney or Evilwayz? Well now you know...
Why the hell should anyone listen to either of you on matters regarding race?
You don't know crap about the black community...but you think you do because you encounter a small fraction of it on the job?

Mississippi Republicans Want to Take Over a Majority Black City to ‘Save’ It

Last week, the Mississippi Senate majority—a solidly white bloc of Republicans—voted to move forward with legislation that bears an unmistakable likeness to laws from the state’s notorious Jim Crow era.
The legislation first garnered national attention as it moved through the House, because it sought to create a new and distinct criminal justice district containing all of the whitest neighborhoods within the capital city of Jackson—America’s second Blackest city—which would be overseen by an unelected and unaccountable white power base.
While the original version of HB 1020 has since been amended, purging some of its most controversial provisions, the legislation approved by the Senate still allows for a white conservative takeover of majority-Black Jackson’s courts and policing. In other words, as Mississippi-based writer and activist Makani Themba told me, there’s still plenty about the bill “that turns Jackson into a colony.”
Jim Crow Is Resurrected in Mississippi
In fact, the changes to the law seem merely aesthetic when examining how the details lay the foundation for white power seizure. Yes, the expanded Capitol zone—the “city-within-a-city” proposed by HB 1020—has been scrapped, and with it, language that would have numerically expanded the ranks of the Capitol police force.
But the bill now vastly expands the same department’s powers, giving the Capitol force jurisdiction over an entire city already policed by the Jackson Police Department. That gives ultimate authority to white Public Safety Commissioner Sean Tindell, an appointee of ultra-conservative Republican Gov. Tate Reeves.
