Oh Mississippi, how can we miss you if you just won’t go away? In an echo of Mississippi's past, a Justice Court judge here is accused of striking a mentally challenged young man and yelling, "Run, n-----, run." Yes, "past." The incident occurred at a flea market in the town of
<i>The justices ruled that Section 4 is unconstitutional, and that the formula used for decades &mdash; revised and extended several times by Congress &mdash; can no longer be used to establish those &quot;preclearance&quot; requirements: &quot;The conditions that originally justified these measures no longer characterize voting in the covered jurisdictions.&quot;</i>
See, this is the kind of news that allows me to keep my belief that &quot;the south&quot; is a horrible shithole populated by the kind of stereotypical rednecks and hillbillies that gave rise to my deeply held stereotypes in the first place.
Thanks Mississippi, you continue to make just about everywhere else look good.
I&#039;m reminded of the truism that volunteer fire departments attract arsonists and firebugs. Nasty people who love to wield a little extra power are probably drawn to these local magistracy gigs. And also school boards.
It&#039;s a good thing racism is over, otherwise incidents like this might be misconstrued as indicating that black and disabled people face extra obstacles in the courts. Instead it is, of course, Just Some Guy being a private asshole.
imma just leave this here:

He may have used the n-word, but he probably meant to say &quot;Forrest&quot;.
