JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — A federal judge has ruled that a majority-black county in eastern Mississippi violated whites' voting rights in what prosecutors said is the first lawsuit to use the Voting Rights Act on behalf of whites.
U.S. District Judge Tom S. Lee ruled late Friday that Noxubee County Democratic Party leader Ike Brown and the county Democratic Executive Committee "manipulated the political process in ways specifically intended and designed to impair and impede participation of white voters and to dilute their votes."
Judge Lee, who presided over the case without a jury, gave attorneys on both sides until July 29 to file briefs suggesting how to end the discrimination. The case was a civil matter carrying no criminal penalties, but defendants who violate Judge Lee's final order could face contempt of court charges and fines, prosecutors said.
The judge said there was a pattern to Mr. Brown's efforts to keep all whites out of the county's Democratic Party, including holding party caucuses in private homes rather than public voting precincts and inviting only blacks to the meetings.

it was only a matter of time. blacks are by far the most racist group of people in the United States. the only way to stop it is to call them on it at every step. most white folks are too intimidated to take two steps into an offender's face and ask what did you just say? I do it all the time and I encourage others to do the same. racists need to be called on their rasicism irrespective of their skin color or nationality.
