With signs stating “Black press only” on the doors of the church where the meeting was held, white reporters were barred from entry, while black reporters for at least two television stations were permitted inside.

While notes were allowed, photos, video and audio recordings were prohibited during the event, according to Stephen Moody, an African-American reporter with WJCL who was allowed entry.

I would rather hear a story about how Stephen Moody refused to enter a venue that barred anyone because of the color of their skin.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

Just another story of "putting one over on the man."  Moody is proud he got in, not merely pleased.  Welcome to the 21st post-Obastard Century.  He set race relations back 150 years, to Reconstruction.  It will take a long, long time to get us back up to where we were in 2008.  I hope not, but we may have to fight the full-scale race war Charlie Manson and Jussie Smollett wanted to trigger.

I found their Bookface page, and I asked them that.

Let me know how that went.
