Justice concludes black voters need Democratic Party
KINSTON, N.C. | Voters in this small city decided overwhelmingly last year to do away with the party affiliation of candidates in local elections, but the Obama administration recently overruled the electorate and decided that equal rights for black voters cannot be achieved without the Democratic Party.
The Justice Department's ruling, which affects races for City Council and mayor, went so far as to say partisan elections are needed so that black voters can elect their "candidates of choice" - identified by the department as those who are Democrats and almost exclusively black.
The department ruled that white voters in Kinston will vote for blacks only if they are Democrats and that therefore the city cannot get rid of party affiliations for local elections because that would violate black voters' right to elect the candidates they want.
*snip*
The decision, made by the same Justice official who ordered the dismissal of a voting rights case against members of the New Black Panther Party in Philadelphia, has irritated other locals as well. They bristle at federal interference in this city of nearly 23,000 people, two-thirds of whom are black.

Once again, black people are deemed stupid by the Democratic party.

The Dems are afraid that black people might start voting for the candidates whose views match their own, instead of voting by party.

Ms. King wrote that voters in Kinston vote more along racial than party lines and without the potential for voting a straight Democratic ticket, "the limited remaining support from white voters for a black Democratic candidate will diminish even more."
Ms. King is the same official who put a stop to the New Black Panther Party case.
Black voters account for 9,702 of the city's 15,402 registered voters
As a result of the low turnout, Ms. King wrote, "black voters have had limited success in electing candidates of choice during recent municipal elections."
Idiot. They don't elect their candidates because they don't vote.
"The Voting Rights Act is not supposed to be compensating for failure of voters to show up on Election Day," she said. "The Voting Rights Act doesn't guarantee an opportunity to elect a 'candidate of choice.' ... My 'candidate of choice' loses all the time in an election."

What f'ing retardation is this? I guarantee, in a town of 23k people, you know who's black and who's white. Further, how does the voting rights act apply when over 60% of the electorate is black? If they CHOOSE not to vote, that's their problem.
Just another step toward one-party rule IMHO

At least the stupidity required to be a democrat is color blind.
Of course the flip side of this is the fact that the DoJ acknowledged that the democratic party is a racist institution that segregates people by race, not policy positions.

The Democratic Party gotta keep those union and black folks in their place. Seen but not heard and we will let you know when your voice is needed.
