Ken Spaulding on Civil Rights |
I am a product of discrimination. So I well understand the hurt, pain and legal consequences of state enforced discrimination. No North Carolinian should be discriminated against.
Government should not serve as an impediment in people's lives by being an ever present divider of our citizens. We constantly hear about smaller government, yet some of these same proponents of smaller government seek to place government in the role of choosing whom one should love.
Our Democratic North Carolina Attorney General should recognize his Constitutional and legal responsibilities and should lead his Office and oppose, in court, Amendment One.
"As a child and throughout my life, the confederate flag has brought significant pain to many of us as it has symbolized to so many people racial intolerance and racial divisiveness," Spaulding said. "I sincerely hope that this action will also lead to state policies which will address the currently existing divisive policies of income inequality, a shrinking middle class, voter suppression and other issues which hurt so many North Carolinians. I hope that this action will lead to not only symbolic change, but also will lead to the much needed substantive changes."
