I know the NAACP is going to insure that the people it is targeting have a valid ID. We wouldn’t want and illegal voter at the polls now would we.

 Absolutely not!

 Asking for an easily obtained state issued identification card might frighten the potential voters irreparably.

These are delicate people we are dealing with.

I am amazed in this day and age that the Circuit Clerk’s office would accept a mail-in or mass delivered bunch of voter registration cards.  One would think that the person should have to appear in person with valid ID to register to vote, just as signing up for Social Security or any other privilege.  If the person can’t physically get to the office to register, why would one think they can get to the polls to vote – other than absentee voting?

all i have to say is RACISM!!! In this day and age why are organizations such as the NAACP allowed to exist. If people don’t know how to go and register to vote by now it would seem to me that they just don’t care to vote. This is a great example of why Voter ID is so needed. One day of these days I am going to start an organization to address issues of importance for Caucasians. I won’t exclude other races from joining but the issues will be strictly concerning only Caucasians and fair treatment for all.

Helping people register to vote would be fine if the NAACP weren’t strictly advocating registering as a card carrying, racist, socialist Democrat.

M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I NEEDS ALL THE HELP IT CAN GET REGISTERING PEOPLE TO VOTE. THERE ARE ONLY *ONE-GROUP* OF PEOPLE THAT’S AGAINST SIGNING UP PEOPLE TO VOTE. YOU DON’T NEED TO WONDER WHO’S THAT GROUP. WHEN YOU SEE PEOPLE FIGHTING AGAINST OTHER’S VOTING, YOU HAVE TO ASK YOURSELF WHY. *SOME* OF THE RED-NECKS AND *ALL* OF THE RACIST WHITES HAVE LEFT A STAIN ON MS AJAX CAN’T GET OFF. THEY ARE RUNNING SCARED IN 2012, BECAUSE THEY KNOW ALL THAT’S NOT IN THERE GROUP IS JOINING TOGETHER TO TURN OVER ANOTHER LEAF. THAT SAME GROUP WANTS TO WEEP THE BENIFITS OF THE DEMOCRACT, AND VOTE REPUBLICAN. THAT’S JUST HOW DUMB THEY ARE. THEY SO DUMB, THEY THINK THE NAACP IS FOR BLACKS ONLY. THERE BRAIN IS ABOUT THE SIZE OF A B.B. THE NAACP STANDS FOR WHAT’S *RIGHT* FOR EVERY RACE. I LOVE THE NAACP. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.    

Is this the same CHURCH that teaches Black people how to under mind the state on how to fill out WELFARE FORMS that is headed up by by Joyce Mathis and Lilly Sanders in Natchez?  Well like I always say Anything they can do to NOT help where they live.  This is just showing how they want to stay down and be FREE Loaders and NOT Help this COUNTRY!!!!!     People in Natchez need to step up to the plate and do what is right.  Dont be AFRAID to speak your peace and do the right things in Life.   Like I have said before they have the NAACP why can the whites not have the KKK????   

I do not have a thing against registering legitimate people to vote…of any color. (I’m white,for the ones who keep score with the race crap). I also see no reason what so ever with showing proof of who each voter is and make sure all the votes come from real people who are alive and not counted twice. Only the cheaters will have a problem with that. Why is that so hard? And if anyone is worried about others driving or encouraging their ‘race’ to register or vote, then do the same for whichever group you favor or say nothing. I will be so glad when this is over. That being said, I’m not for Obama nor will I be voting for him! I’m just for fairness and against fighting.

C’mon, yes we can or should have our organizations too, but I’m ashamed whenever the KKK is associated with conversations like this. Surely as an intelligent group of people we could come up with something better than the KKK to throw out as an organization for white people. Violence doesn’t have to be a part of this!! The history of burning crosses shouldn’t even be near us. Aren’t we better people than that now?? You used the word peace and not piece when saying speak your peace in your statement, KKK has no place in that.

For all you people who wonder why industries continually pass up Natchez in favor of other places, just look in the mirror.  It is EXACTLY this kind of crap in the comment section of the paper that outsiders look at to gauge the climate of our town.

For the record, whites CAN and DO have the KKK.  The only thing they’re not allowed to do is terrorize or be violent.  This is a free country.  You can join any damned fool club you want to join as long as you don’t break the law.

Personally, I think most of the folks who’ve commented on this story should join the dumbcluck club.

I did not see anything in this article that stated these groups were trying to do anything but get people registered to vote. When one learns that his/ her voting power and green power are two of the most important that one has, the world will be a better place. I attended this meeting and I never heard anything said about political parties. The attorney simply informed this group,who was interested enough to show up about how many unregistered voters there are in the state of MS. He also reviewed the list of crimes that would hinder one from voting.  Why are some people afraid of informed people?
I personally feel it is very unfair to compare the NAACP, and these other groups to the KKK. The NAACP fights for justice for all, and the KKK to my knowledge uses scare tactics to take away rights and justice for all.
Do the research!
A more informed and educated community should be a plus for everyone.

Every person age 18 and older owes it to our country to register to vote and to get out and vote. But this process is filled with problems. How are these voters being verified. I have seen children register to play ball under one name but be registered at school under another and both required certified birth certificates. These folks need to register in person and show 2 forms of identification or as the schools do picture ID and 2 bills verifying address then cross reference to prevent fraud

RACIST! RACIST! RACIST!  YOU HATE THE WHITE MAN SO VERY MUCH IT JUST EATS U ALIVE!!!!!  YOU HAVE TO HAVE A FREAKING ID TO GET ANYTHING, ANYMORE IDIOT……. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH “RACE” AS YOU ALWAYS WANT TO PLAY IT LOW LIFE…. YOU HAVE TO HAVE AN ID TO EVEN GET FOOD STAMPS YOU FREE LOADING, RACE BATING, HATER…… THE HATE IS GOING TO EAT YOU ALIVE…… YEP, GUESS I’M ONE OF THE RACIST, BIGOT, WHITE, REDNECKS THAT YOU ARE ACCUSING (I am white, but am none of the other adjectives that you want to stick on us “crackers”)…………. YOU, MY FRIEND, AND THOSE LIKE YOU, WHO INTIMIDATE, AND ANTAGONIZE WITH ALL OF YOUR HATRED ARE WHY THIS COUNTRY IS GOING TO THE CRAPPER….(I had to stoop to your level and use upper case like a 2 year old to make a point)….. You are in my prayers dave0

PIECE!!!   Call it VIOLENCE if you want but I know another part of the KKK,  Stand up for what was right!  People have blown out of portion of what exactly did happen long ago……   People are wanting a HAND OUT instead of work  They are so use to the POOR POOR me.  They want it given instead of work for it.  I know people that work two days a week cause their kids disability checks are cut off. Thats $800 a month when you   have 3 kids thats $2400.00 free money plus food stasmps, oh dont forget grandma has papers on one of those kids and they are drawing  a check off Social security also ….. They get Government housing, free insurance, free food, and DRIVES a new Vehicle.  Plus some of these house are new built houses. so yea why would they want somebody in office whom may cut all this out???    PLEASE ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!!

I would like to know will the NACP register white folks and I feel also the circuit clerk surely is smarter than taking these papers with out the person showing up personally to his office to sign to vote!!! This is to much like fraud when it comes to absentee voting will happen!!!  

most of the freeloaders,scammers,including my next door neighbor,are so called poor because they want everybody to assume that. They take in more from the goverment checks,freebies and sleepover boyfriends who pay than i used to make, A large part of their bills are paid by some sort of goverment assistance that they have a zillion names for,now they give them cellphones with 250 free minutes a month,food stamps,they use Ebit cards to buy gas.,,,,they are not poor by any means. They stay in the road,party hardy,eat better than most and want more freebies every day.pop out as many kids quick as you can and get on the freewagon

I agree totally with Babaloulou, This is an article I found about Mississippi, this article show what the rest of the country this of Mississippi
THE AMERICAN Legislative Exchange Council recently issued its annual “Report Card on American Education.” By a delicious irony, the report was sent out about the time those geniuses in Mississippi voted overwhelmingly to keep a Confederate logo on the state flag.
The council, based in Washington, is the nation’s largest bipartisan, individual-membership association of state legislators, with nearly 2,400 members. Its report ranks each state by academic achievement. Anyone care to guess where, of 50 states and the District of Columbia, Mississippi ranked?
Bingo! Dead last, coming in at No. 51. Yes, even the folks in Washington, thought to have the nation’s worst public schools, ranked ahead of Mississippi. Mind you, D.C. came in at No. 50, an embarrassment that doesn’t stop its residents from clamoring for statehood. Half of them probably can’t even spell statehood. But back to our Mississippi friends and their passion for the Confederate battle flag.
It’s fitting that Mississippians chose to keep the emblem. A symbol representing a country, the Confederate States of America, that felt a certain pride in keeping its population ignorant should be on the flag of the country’s most ignorant state.
In fact, it might do well to look at how the rest of the states that formed the old Confederacy did in the report. None of those 11 states finished in the top 25. The highest was Virginia, ranked No. 27. Then came Texas at 35, Florida at 38, North Carolina at 40, Arkansas at 42 and then Nos. 45 through 49 were Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and Louisiana, respectively.
When the Confederate States of Bubbadom were formed in 1861, educating the populace was clearly not at the top of the agenda.
Apparently, not much has changed in the ensuing 140 years. When Confederate flag wavers claim they’re proudly celebrating the history of their ancestors by their act, folks in places such as Iowa (No. 1), Maryland (No. 24) and New Jersey (No. 25) – where the residents aren’t too bright but still smarter than residents of the Bubba states – have to ask: pride in what?
The Confederacy was one of the most backward, repressive and ignorant countries that ever existed. Its most flagrant sin was the perpetuation of chattel slavery, which latter-day Confederate flag-wavers excuse by claiming that most whites in the South didn’t own slaves.
They say it with pride, but that’s nothing to be proud of. Most whites in the antebellum South were poor, illiterate and uneducated, as were most of the black slaves. The disparity in wealth was so great that few could own slaves. That made the South not a democracy but an oligarchy. It wasn’t a noble experiment in participatory democracy and racial brotherhood, as today’s Confederate flag-wavers claim. For the slaves, it was a police state. For free blacks and poor whites, it wasn’t much better.
Still, those rubes in Mississippi – and their fellow Confederate flag-lovers elsewhere – will swear that the old South was a paradise, an idyllic place of happy nigras serving kindly massas mint juleps. Or, since they persist in living in denial about the South’s horrid racial history, neo-Confederates will claim that the Confederacy’s war against the Union was a heroic defense of states’ rights. The states’ rights to do what, exactly?
To keep large numbers of its citizens in illiteracy and ignorance, to name just one of those dubious “rights.” The Confederate battle flag is thus a fitting symbol for Mississippi, as well as its sister Southern states, judging by their poor-to-mediocre academic performances.
You would think that today’s Mississippians, blacks and whites, would say, “To hell with the Confederate flag. Let’s raise our educational level.” Barring a mass migration of brainiacs to the state, that’s not likely to happen in the near future.
Black and white Mississippians will continue to fight the old battles, not realizing that, if they win the old ones, they haven’t won much and haven’t even begun to fight the new one.
And the new one, for all Americans – black, white, Asian, Hispanic, Native American, Northerners and Southerners – is education.
Our students are woefully behind those of other industrialized nations in math and science. Visit Europe, and you’ll find most students there learning at least two foreign languages. American students struggle with English. Ask the average Mississippian to describe God, and he’ll paint a picture of a drawling, moonshine-swigging, good ol’ boy whose native tongue is Americanese.
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and other black organizations should abandon the fight against the Confederate battle flag.
If its wavers want to live in a past marked by violence, ignorance and repression, let them. More progressive-thinking Americans have more important battles to fight.

He has not won in a long time but I always vote for Coolidge. Cal is da shiznitz.

Could you please enlighten the rest of us how in the world you were able to type all this stuff without hanging up the disqus system?  We all have about 1.5 minutes to get it all in.  Let me guess, you are a fast typist, or used cut and paste to outsmart the system?

Now for content, well spoken I must admit.  However, this seems a little bitter toward whites and blacks.  While some whites hold on to the confederacy ideal and live or preach the doctrines, some blacks still lead their lives with a chip on their shoulders since their ancestors of several generations ago may have been slaves in a day and time when it was more or less the norm.  Neither side of that argument will ever win – so yes, all should espouse education as the eventual salvation of MS getting out of 50th place on any list.

Hey Baby come see those Confederate people in Natchez MISSISSIPPI acting up again on the world wide web !

 Um you do realize the brunt of the MS public school system is black people, don’t you genius?  The lower the state ranking on your little hate list, the greater the black population.  You can blame it on “Bubbas” all you want.  The scores broken down by demographics tell another story.

Now, go back to whoever paid you to be here and ask them to better inform you about what you parrot.

People are paid to push agendas in online comments sections.  Notice this one is all about the CBF.  Paid shill.

Racist organizations are either to be frowned upon or they are not.  Which is it?
