Racism Against Whites In Mississippi?

TO ORIGINAL ARTICLE

MACON, Miss. — Ike Brown is a legend in Mississippi politics, both loved and hated for his ability to turn out black voters and get his candidates into office.

That success has also landed him at the heart of a federal lawsuit that's about to turn the Voting Rights Act on its end. For the first time, the Justice Department is using the 1965 law to allege racial discrimination against whites.

Brown, head of the Democratic Party in Mississippi's rural Noxubee County, is accused of waging a campaign to defeat white voters and candidates with tactics including intimidation and coercion. Also named in the lawsuit is Circuit Clerk Carl Mickens, who has agreed to refrain from rejecting white voters' absentee ballots considered defective while accepting similar ballots from black voters.

Brown shakes off the allegations.

"They've been trying to target me for years, the attorney general and all them, because we're so successful," he said. "Hey, if you're a failure, nobody will mess with you. But we're successful in east Mississippi."

The Justice Department complaint says Brown, 52, and those working with him "participated in numerous racial appeals during primary and general campaigns and have criticized black citizens for supporting white candidates and for forming biracial political coalitions with white candidates."

Noxubee County — a rural area along the Alabama line named for a Choctaw word meaning "stinking water" — has a population of 12,500, 69 percent black and 30 percent white.

Whites once dominated county politics here, but now only one white person holds countywide office, and he says Brown tried to recruit an out-of-county black candidate to run against him three years ago.

The federal case against Brown, scheduled for trial this fall, represents a change in direction in the use of the Voting Rights Act, said Jon Greenbaum, director of the voting-rights project for the Washington-based Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law.

The law was written to protect racial minorities in the 1960s when Mississippi and other Southern states strictly enforced segregation.

"The main concern we have in the civil-rights community isn't necessarily that DOJ brought this case," Greenbaum said. "It's that the department is not bringing meritorious cases on behalf of African-American and Native-American voters."

Justice Department records show the department's last voting-rights case alleging discrimination against black voters was filed in 2001. Since then, six cases have been brought on behalf of voters of Hispanic or Asian descent in five states — plus the case involving white voters in Mississippi.

Brown, a former tax preparer, served 21 months in prison in the 1990s on a felony conviction of preparing fraudulent federal income-tax returns. He retained his right to vote. The same federal judge who handled his earlier trial is now overseeing the Justice Department case.

"This case is real simple," Brown said. "Find me one white person that was discriminated against."

The main white person who makes the claim is Ricky Walker, the county prosecuting attorney who believes Brown recruited an opponent for him simply because he's white.

Walker says that when he qualified to run again in 2003, Brown brought in a black lawyer from another part of the state to run against him. A circuit judge found that the lawyer had not established residency and was not allowed on the ballot.

  1. I'm suprised that Nikki would post a story where a non-white is breaking the law. Maybe she's going to start being more fair in her reporting.

  2. She's always been fair jackass. And I think Louis Farrakhan is the most powerful racist in the United States.

    You hate blacks out of jealousy. You hate the fact that most of them outperform you in every measureable way. Most of them work, a lot of them own houses, and most are far more intelligent and speak with more advanced grammar skills.

    You hate gays out of self-hatred. It's so obvious you are struggling with homosexuality yourself. You constantly post gay porn and your gay erotica stories all the time. There's nothing wrong in being gay Steve. The moment you discover that, you will feel better about yourself and you won't have to hate so much.

    I'll be watching case.net to see how much the judge socks at Chris for DUS.

  3. Up until now; this is the only time that I saw Nikki post something that wasn't White on Jigaboo.

    You still think that I hate all Blacks. This is where you are so Fucked up when it comes to me. I have never said that. I've always said there are a few good Blacks who are better people than some Whites. But yes, I do hate the Niggers who commit crimes against Whites. And no, I am not jealous of any Blacks or Nigger. No, there are none who are more intelligent than your Great Hero. I have better Grammer skills. I sure don't use them with you. You are lower than Whale Shit. So yes, I get down & dirty when I address such Filth as you...

    You are right about me hating all Faggots & Faggotry. There is nothing more nastier than 2 or more Faggot men getting together. There is nothing Gay about it. That's why I will never associate that word with Sodomite Faggotry. I am not a Fucking Faggot and I never will be. There is nothing for me to discover. All I want is "shaved Pussy" and there is nothing Faggot about that.

    Yes, we know you'll be watching Case.net in between your sessions of you beating your meat, and going "weeeeeeeeeeeeee" You will be dissappointed about Chris's scheduled court date of May 10 on the Entrapment charges. It was changed to May 24, but the lawyer is going to ask for it to be put off again.

  5. Pedo,

    Why do you care what two consenting men do together? The only reason is fear of your own sexuality.

    And don't give us this bullshit that you don't hate all blacks or you wouldn't call all of them niggers.

    And when you were caught looking for "shaved pussy", you were there BECAUSE IT HAD THE YOUNGER GIRLS. You weren't looking for adult women.

    Steve looks for underaged girls

  6. I care about what Faggots do because they spreads AIDS, Herpes & etc. It's also a proven fact that Faggots usually go after young boys, but that doesn't bother you since you're one of the biggest Faggots who ever walked. Faggotry is an abomination in my God's eyes and that's good enough for me. I have no problems with my Sexuality since I'm only into females. It doesn't make me a Faggot to see the Faggotry of others like you...

    If it makes you beat your meat longer & go "weeeeeeeeeeee" longer for you to think that I hate all Niggers; then so be it. I don't give a Flying Fuck one way or the other...

    You need to move on & get past those links you keep posting. Nobody gives a Fuck anymore, especially since some of your Butt Buddies like JohnnyBQueer2005 are no longer around...

  7. Nikki posted this just so that she can PRETEND to be fair. Ever since her heart was broken by a nazi she loved she has turned 180 and wants all of us WN to share her grief.

    Personally, I'm suprised she would put herself and her family in such danger by taking us on. Is her hobby really so important to her that she is willing to risk comming to her family? Sure, she is very old and will die of old age any day now, but in the future, when the Swastika is flying over the White House, she will still have loved ones left to account for her terrorist activities.

    88!

  8. 88= the collective IQ of the entire "white power" movement.

  9. And you've been a Faggot for how long???

  10. All of the WN's, Nazi's, or whatever you want to call them have just proven Josh Hoyt's claim as to their collective IQ.

    First of all, if you read the title, there is a question mark after it - meaning that it is a question. Imagine that. I thought when I posted it that it might generate some discussion over what this man is doing and whether or not it is a sort of racism or discrimination. I knew when I did this that the racist group here would not get the significane of the post. They would all be a little puzzled that I would post such a thing.

    Harry said earlier "Louis Farrakhan is the most powerful racist in the United States." While I don't think he is the "most powerful," I do consider him to be racist - very racist.

    Do I agree that what Ike Brown is doing in Mississippi is racist? I'm not sure. But while all of you racists are taking pot-shots and slinging mud, you missed your opportunity to convince me and others that this is, in fact, racism against whites.

    It's not at all unusual to see you guys miss such an opportunity since you are more interested in attacking people than convincing people.

    Incidentally, I don't know anything about Lloyd Davies and I have never heard one of his podcasts. And, believe it or not, I rarely ever go to Nimbusters. So, I don't have a clue to what you are speaking about.

    As to this article, I need more information. Brown is accused of "waging a campaign to defeat white voters and candidates with tactics including intimidation and coercion." Yet, it gives no evidence. Hence, I will follow the case and let some of this play out before forming an opinion.

  11. I always said this wasn't the real Hal Turner and he just proved it. The real Hal has nothing to do with Nimbusters or Lloyd's Podcasts.
