Many lawmakers say they voted for the bill because Mississippi could get about $8 million in federal highway safety money if the state has a primary-offense seat belt law.

Most revealing statement............

Way too much centralized power in the fed govt.

Mississippi Ping.

How in the world do they ever expect Mississippi
and America to get past the race issue with idiotic
statements like this coming from black leadership.

"Mississippi NAACP president Derrick Johnson said he still has those concerns.

"Our fear in making seat belts a primary offense is that it will give some bad apples an opportunity to further harass African-American drivers,'' Johnson said Friday. "

[WKB]

Yes this by an R

"I voted for it, but I think it's too much government,'' said Sen. Terry Brown, R-Columbus. "I hate to give up that federal highway money.''

[mattdono]

Interesting. I guess that makes wearing a seatbelt racist?

[cyborg]

I agree.

Is your tagline for me? :>)

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Further harass 'this'.

BTW, I guess seat belts will remind blacks of the chains of slavery.

I never thought of that.

Mandatory seat belt laws will be a massive source of revenue for States and will give the cops yet another reason to pull people over and harrass them. The insurance companies will also make $$$$ on these laws because they will raise the rates of people who get bagged for breaking this absolutely dictatorial law. Just follow the money, as they say.

One day your car won't start if smells cigar smoke or it detects burgers and french fries in your intestines instead of tofu and alfalfa sprouts.

And if you go 10 mph over the speed limit, the car will automatically spit out a $100 speeding ticket from the ashtray. Go 11 mph over the limit and car will take over and drive you to municipal court for immediate punishment.

Then vehicles will be renamed automobills.

The march continues ping~

[Condor51]

I'm kind of surprised the NAACP race pimp didn't bring it up.

Maybe it was just an oversight and will be in his next diatribe against whitey and their further attempts to 'hold the black man down' by this obviously racist law.

My wife just said
If they don't stop blacks for driving
without seat-belts then they will
be accused of wanting blacks to die
in auto accidents.

No one is forcing MS to take the Fed money.

Don't laugh.

Michigan had to do away with the "Back tag" requirement for hunting because a Jewish person complained that it was like a tattoo in the concentration camps.

Now if someone is trespassing or breaking the game laws you can't write the tag number down to turn them in.

It was required of everyone so I can't understand that ruling, but then, I'm not a liberal judge either.

[SouthernFreebird]

For real, you mean to tell me blacks can't snap a seat belt on like the rest of us in order to not get pulled.

A lady named Katrina didn't help money
matters any in Mississippi.

[Condor51]

Yep, your wife is right.
With the race bating poverty pimps you cannot win - ever.

Pass a law and it's racist. Don't pass a law and then you don't care and want them dead. To them everything is some evil plot.

It's now beyond boring and isn't even laughable anymore, but simply pathetic.

Money is power. That is why I am in favor of EVERY federal tax cut. Sure we will get taxed more on the state level but that is a little closer to me.
