Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  (CNN) E pai ana ahau ki te whakaaro he tangata tino tūmanako ahau. Ahakoa i ngā wā pōuri mō tēnei whenua - i muri i te 11 o Hepetema, i te Hurricane Katrina rānei, hei tauira - ko tōku aronga ko te kimi i te tūmanako mō te ahunga whakamua ā muri ake. Engari me pono ahau ki a koe, i ētahi wā he roa noa iho te waimarie. I te ata i muri i te pōtitanga o te tau 2004, i te wā i whakaaetia ai e ngā kaipōti i ngā kāwanatanga e 11 te rerenga ture e aukati ana i te marenatanga, kāore au i whakaaro ka kite au i ngā tokorua e aroha ana, e aroha ana ki ngā tāne, ki ngā wāhine, e marena ana i roto i tōku oranga - i Alabama anake. I tua atu, kaore au i whakaaro, e 50 tau i muri mai i te haerenga mo te tika pōti i Selma ki Montgomery, ko te tokorua tuatahi ki te marena i reira ko te tokorua maia o Awherika-Amerika, ko Tori Sisson raua ko Shanté Wolfe, i noho ki waho i te po i runga i te huarahi i waho o te whare whakawa kia tu tuatahi ai. I moe rātau i runga i taua rori mātao ahakoa ngā kōrero pōhēhē a te Kaiwhakawa Matua a Roy Moore o te Kooti Runga o Alabama, nāna i whakaputa i tētahi ture kore take i muri i tētahi ture kore take e akiaki ana i ngā kaiwhakawā o te kāwanatanga kia kaua e aro ki tētahi whakataunga a te kōti ā-rohe (e whakakapi ana i tētahi whakataunga a te kāwanatanga) me te kore e whakaae kia rite te mahi ki ngā tāngata LGBT i raro i te ture. Ahakoa i tēnei rā, neke atu i te haurua o ngā rohe o te kāwanatanga e kore e whakaae ki te tuku raihana ki ngā tokorua takirua. I roto i tētahi uiuinga ki a Chris Cuomo o CNN i te Rāhoroi, i whakatauritea e te Tiati Matua a Moore te whakakahore i ngā raihana marena ki ngā tokorua takirua ki te whakakahore ki te whakatinana i te whakatau 1857 Dred Scott v. Sandford (i tautokona ai te tūnga ture o ngā pononga hei taonga). Ehara ahau i te roia, engari ko te whakaaro o te ture, ko te kore e tuku i te tangata kia rite ki te pononga, he rite tonu ki te kore e tuku i ngā tāngata tāne me ngā wāhine tāne ki te whai mana ōrite ki te marena i raro i te ture. Ehara i te mea he hē noa iho taua whakaaro (ko te whakaiti i ngā tika ehara i te mea rite ki te whakawhānui i a rātau) engari he whakahē. Ko nga whenua 13 e aukati tonu ana i te marenatanga o te hunga o te ira kotahi. He tokomaha kei te whakahua i nga oro o mua i Alabama i tenei wa; o te Kawana a George Wallace e aukati ana i nga akonga Amerikana-Awherika kia uru atu...
Ko ētahi kaiwhakawa i Alabama e whakahe ana ki ngā faaipoiporaa tāne-tino. Donna Brazile: Me whakatau te Kooti Nui o Amerika i tētahi whakataunga mārama hei tautoko i te marenatanga o ngā tāngata ōrite.
