Voting rights act used to protect whites from black discrimination

I don't know enough about the specific facts of this case to know if it's justified, but I have a pretty strong suspicion that white voters in Mississippi are not being successfully intimidated by the blacks.

MACON, Miss. - Ike Brown is a legend in Mississippi politics, a fast-talking operative both loved and hated for his ability to turn out black voters and get his candidates into office.

That success has also landed him at the heart of a federal lawsuit that's about to turn the Voting Rights Act on its end.

For the first time, the U.S. Justice Department is using the 1965 law to allege racial discrimination against whites.

But, this is just the sort of thing the crooks in the White House love to do. Use the very law that was intended to help the blacks to screw them instead.
