POPSWhite People File Class Action Suit against NAACP
It was at that point, he said, that he noticed the music being played in the background made him feel lonely and depressed, adding that the NAACP knew the Blues caused people to feel down but encouraged it's playing anyways. "On behalf of millions of White Americans who have suffered depression at the hands of this dastardly music from Hell," said Mr. Reems, "we now seek justice in the courts against the NAACP. Clark Pearson, a spokesman for the Memphis chapter of the NAACP, when notified of the impending Class Action lawsuit was quoted as saying White musicians have made hundreds of millions of dollars off the Blues while Black musicians continue to live in poverty. "You know what makes me feel depressed?" he said, "Listening to Bing Crosby singing 'White Christmas' on the radio every year makes me feel depressed. I can't change the station fast enough. Last year I tripped over a chair trying to change the station. Now there's a real lawsuit!"

POPSGa. County Votes to keep Confed. Flag I'm OK with this but it's a dying issue really. If the NAACP thinks that they, in turn, are not *racist*, then they are delusional. It's completely a matter of who gets to be more offended. Husband's G-father, at the age of 9, defended the town's railroad depot from the approaching Yankees :~). It had nothing to do with racism. It had to do with defending/protecting family & home. It all depends on your viewpoint.

POPSForty Acres & a Mule -- Sherrod Style?
At the time the case was settled, it was estimated there would be in the area of 2,000 to 3,000 claims. As with most estimates involving government handouts that number was woefully short of the mark. Again, according to Wikipedia: 22,505 "Track A" applications were heard and decided upon, of which 13,348 (59%) were approved. US$995 million had been disbursed or credited to the "Track A" applicants as of January 2009, including US$760 million disbursed as US$50,000 cash awards. Fewer than 200 farmers opted for the "Track B" process. Beyond those applications that were heard and decided upon, about 70,000 petitions were filed late and were not allowed to proceed. Some have argued that the notice program was defective, and others blamed the farmers' attorneys for "the inadequate notice and overall mismanagement of the settlement agreement." A provision in the 2008 farm bill essentially allowed a re-hearing in civil court for any claimant whose claim had been denied ...

POPSFlorida Vote Suppression: Back in Business
A newspaper investigation found that the measure resulted in tens of thousands of voters being rejected, the overwhelming majority of them minorities. Back in December, a district court agreed with the argument by the groups -- the NAACP, the Haitian-American Grassroots Coalition, and Southwest Voter Registration Education Project -- that the law ought to be halted from going into effect while the lawsuit was decided. That decision was overturned yesterday. “Yesterday’s ruling by the appellate court represents a setback for all eligible Floridians, particularly voters of color, who wish to register to vote and participate in the upcoming presidential elections,” said Elizabeth Westfall of Advancement Project ... But Justin Levitt, counsel at the Brennan Center for Justice, said that the suit would go on and that “the trial court must now consider whether disenfranchising thousands of eligible citizens because of typos, is consistent with the U.S. Constitution.”
