No civil rights protection for whites

As some of you might know, back in 2008 there was a group of New Black Panthers who were actively intimidating voters in a polling place in Philadelphia. For the most part this story has been totally ignored by the news media. Now, allow me to paint you a picture. What would the response have been if there were a couple of Klansman or Neo-Nazis brandishing weapons at a voting place and claiming to be "security?" You and I both know the police and media response would have been overwhelming. I've done some looking and found the actual video on election day of when these events took place.

• When Mister Shabazz the chairman of the NBPP party was interviewed as to why armed members of his group were there he said this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BemSmTNDxU&feature=related. Isn't it interesting how there is no cellphone video or reports from poll watchers about this happening?

You can see the man with the nightstick in the first video STANDING IN FRONT OF THE DOOR for God's sake and the people watching the polls didn't seem to mind that. Now, watch what happens when the reporter goes up there: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thqk8kDK6Z0&feature=related. I guess they don't mind Black Panthers with nightsticks standing at the door but reporters are truly dangerous and need to move. What an outrage.

Now, I know some of y'all are probably thinking why am I even writing about this. Let me tell you. The vote is the cornerstone of our republic. It is our voice. Most countries in the world (North Korea, China, Cube for example) do not allow the vote. Dictators don't allow the vote. Look at what happened in Iran last year with its elections. Reports from anywhere between eighty and over two hundred protesters were killed because a election was rigged and they had the gall to stand up against it. Let me be clear. I do not care who you are, if you are an intimidating factor at a voting place you have crossed the line and it is a civil rights violation. So the Department of Justice will take care of this problem right? We will get to that in a bit. First lets learn some about the New Black Panther Party. Here is the link to the groups website. Read the statement and then you will get an idea of what this group is all about. http://www.newblackpanther.com/intro.html

The argument on the website is that the man with the nightstick was suspended for his roll for a time (he is once again a member of the party) and that as an organisation the NBPP holds zero liability. That is a bunch of hogwash. I am a member of the NRA. If I was wearing NRA garb and tried the garbage that this guy did the NRA would be in just as much trouble as ( rightfully so I might add ) be in. And after getting kicked out of the NRA I highly doubt they'd let me back in. The Panther was not kicked out, he was suspended and according to the statement on the website is once again a full member. Nice huh? Here is some background on the group: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Black_Panther_Party

Now to the Department of Justice. Incredibly, the DoJ has decided NOT to bring charges against the NBPP for civil rights violations (i.e. voter intimidation) siting no evidence despite videos from cell phones and Fox News showing a man with a nightstick in front of the doors of the voting area. Take a look at this interview. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BemSmTNDxU&feature=related. To this writer, it seems that if you are white you can not be the victim of a civil rights violation brought about by a minority. If this is indeed true then there is corruption in one of our most powerful departments and it must be stamped out.
