ACLU accuses Black mayor of profiling Blacks

Posted on August 4, 2006

Jack Lewis sends me a couple of ACLU stories today. The first one is how The ACLU is sueing to prevent better education. Make sure to go read it.

The second one I decided to highlight because of how ridiculous the ACLU are in it. The story comes from Seatle Post Intelligencer:

The national American Civil Liberties Union on Tuesday accused the city’s black mayor of civil rights violations including racial profiling in his crusade to stem crime in Mississippi’s capital city.

The accusations against Mayor Frank Melton and police are based on complaints from people who say they were pulled over on the basis of their race and searched without probable cause, the ACLU’s national racial profiling coordinator, King Downing, said at a news conference….

…Melton said in an interview Tuesday that he wasn’t interested in the ACLU’s complaints against him or the police, and denied he had violated anyone’s civil rights.

“We have 26 people that have been killed in Jackson this year. We have 300,000 people killed across America each year. The majority of them are African-American and it’s time to do something different,” Melton said. “I want to know what the ACLU wants to do besides criticize.”…

Melton declared a state of emergency last month to attack the city’s escalating crime problem, basically adopting a stricter curfew for teenagers and homeless people. He also continued his practice of riding with police officers on patrol or at roadblocks.

The city’s population of 184,256 is nearly 71 percent black, and 23.5 percent live below the poverty level.

I agree with Jack Lewis in his conclusion of things:

Bravo to Mayor Melton. As more and more Blacks wake up the scam of victimization that’s chained Black Americans so long, the more those like the ACLU who hold those chains will fight them. The crime rate among Blacks is a self-perpetuating condition, encouraged by Liberals. The attitude that because you perceive yourself to be a victim, gives you the moral right to victimize others is a never ending loop. Liberals fervently encouraging that attitude keep it strong.

Mayor Melton sounds like the tough on crime type of individual who also cares about the people. I hope the people of Jackson, Mississippi continue to back him up.
