Racism In Georgia


There has been a court case ongoing in Dekalb county, Georgia for a while that recently concluded and the jury decided that racism is alive and well. You won't find too many ACLU or other civil rights attorneys crowing about it though. You see in this case, like in another previous case in the area, the defendants were of a dark skinned persuasion.
A federal jury has awarded damages of more than $170,000 to two former parks department workers who filed a lawsuit claiming that DeKalb County officials sought to replace white employees with black ones. The jury's verdict Thursday found that former DeKalb chief executive Vernon Jones, his one-time top aide Richard Stogner, a former parks director and DeKalb County itself were liable for damages.
The main defendant in this case was Vernon Jones, a Democrat lap dog with a long and checkered history of run ins with the law and scandals. He has been investigated for everything from using county assets to run background checks on people who dared cross swords with him to rape. Very few of the previous cases ever made it to court, either because witnesses and victims alike suddenly either dropped charges or decided not to testify, but this time the plantiffs did not back down.

This case involved the firing of several, actually most, whites in high level positions in the county after he took over as what they call CEO. It so obvious that even Stevie Wonder could see it.

Vernon has at various times run for congress, he is currently hoping to unseat the eloquent and now world famous geologists Hank Johnson, the representative who has been made an overnight sensation for his concerns over Guam tipping over and capsizing, and he has challenged Saxby Chambliss for his Senate seat.

He is a proud Democrat and a person who is in love with power. He is also dumb as a box of rocks, which makes him fit in the Georgia fourth congressional district just fine.

For the record, the picture above, while it was produced by the Jones campaign when he was challenging for the Democrat nomination to face Saxby Chambliss in the race for his senate seat, was determined to be digitally altered and condemned by the Obama campaign. That however didn't stop Vernon from pledging his undying allegiance the TOTUS.
