WHILE suing an apartment complex in a black community for being too dangerous.

LINK

The ACLU sued Sheriff Tucker last week on behalf of Khadafy Manning and nine other Canton residents last week. Manning and his allies accused the Madison County Sheriff's Office of using roadblocks and checkpoints only in the predominantly black Canton area while ignoring the predominantly white areas of the county. The ACLU held a press conference that made a great splash in the media last week.

The ACLU even used the "S" word - "segregationist".

However, Khadafi Manning didn't exactly scream discrimination in December when he sued Canton Estates Apartments. Manning sued the owner of Canton Estates, Northmart Corporation, and Bennie Kirkland in Madison County Circuit Court. These are the same apartments that the ACLU and it's client, Khadafy Manning, says is the target of racist and illegal roadblocks by the Madison County Sheriff.

The irony of the ACLU lawsuit that it's client, Khadafi Manning, complained in his complaint that the Canton Estate apartments were too dangerous because of criminal activities.

raises hand...

Did white folks not have to stop at the roadblocks?

You sue because the area is dangerous, and then sue because roadblocks and law enforcement is targeting the area?
