The Selma Times‑Journal

She knows that every time she does thos stuff that everyone will talk. She is a sociopath that will never let things change. But psssst when yall say her people that is kinda sorta , just a lil bit racist.

The name “Toure” is completely fitting for her. Her mind is totally enslaved, just as the people that follow her lead. She has really found some running partners lately that will give her a run for the money on the “race pimping” category. I don’t know which one is worse.

And I will post this here also: This is from an STJ article from June 2002 regarding Rose’s defense for choosing the name Toure. She finds all the attention regarding the horrible things the man did in his past ridiculous and racist, because he also was thought to be a hero. Hmm? Does that sound familiar?

“According to the brief, Toure told the Montgomery Advertiser that her last name was from the late Sekou Toure, the longtime leader of the West African nation of Guinea.

The brief further states that “while Sanders said the change was designed to remove slave owner names from her past, Sekou Toure is generally viewed as having spent most of his 26 years in power enslaving his own people.”

The Times-Journal, after examining several sites on the Internet, found that Toure, who died in 1984 while in power, had committed human rights abuses.

According to one site published by the University of Minnesota Human Rights Library, Toure’s “regime purged or forced into exile members of other ethnic groups, while others were killed, tortured, disappeared or imprisoned under the Preventive Detention Laws.”

Faya Toure, when asked to respond to the brief, said that the brief was

not only racist in its connotations, but she also criticized the media for wasting its time on something so unimportant.

“Why should my name change make this much of a difference?” she asked. “Don’t they have anything else to report on.”

Toure added that she had not read any documentation describing human rights abuses in New Guinea.

However, she said even if there were abuses, these abuses were no different from the abuses that George Washington, the first President of the United States, committed against his own people when becoming president, after America officially gained its independence from Britain.

“Should everyone who uses the name Washington in America be accused of enslaving their own people,” Toure said. “It is absolutely ridiculous.”

Toure became the leader of Guinea in 1958, and is often cited as the person who liberated Guinea from its rule under France, which was ruled by Charles De Gaulle at the time.

Faya Toure said she considers Sekou Toure a hero, who liberated Guinea from the exploitation of France, which had ruled Guinea for a over hundred years.

“If I changed my name to Rose De Gaulle, no one would have said anything,” Toure said. “It just shows how racist these people are.”

So let’s see…she chose to respect the man for the positive aspects despite the fact he had cruel associations. So do tell…how exactly is she having the audacity to go after Cecil Williamson who is doing the exact same thing regarding Bedford. The man may have been associated with the KKK (later renouncing them when they became violent/evil) but was responsible for saving Selma during the Civil War. Let me break it down for you: Toure = evil tyrant who enslaved his OWN people, yet did liberate the country vs. Nathaniel Bedford= accused of association with evil KKK, yet played a heroic part in Selma during the Civil War.

She is a hypocrite people! Wake up. Mr. Williamson is being lamblasted for doing nothing different than she does. Oh wait..one difference…he’s white. Black Panthers are perfectly acceptable (known hate group..you know…like she calls the League of the South) but not Confederate Flags. Double Standard.

so.

Once a scum bag, always a scum bag. Go away Rose, no one loves you or wants you. I would almost feel sorry for poor little Hank, but lets face it, he made the mistake of marrying an idiot.

If black kids eating watermelon is racist…then Selma is full of racist. I see them not only selling Watermelon on the side of the road day after day, but eating them as well. I would really prefer to see the picture of a black kid with a diploma or a job around here.

The ONLY reason she is disrupting this meeting is so she can put ALL the blame on Cecil Williamson when she finally gets arrested. The very first night Rev. Williamson sat as the President of the council, she was there disrupting. It’s so transparent and pathetic this woman is such a race hustler.

It looks to me like she is the racist one.

She looks like a cheap pair of curtains.

LOL. She has to be one of the most ignorant people I’ve ever seen. Is this woman mentally ill or on medication of some sort?

If Cecil Williamson going to a party of a Confederate General is a hate crime, then so is the Million Man March. What is the difference? They are both acts of celebrating the past right? Rose, I certainly wish you would get out of this town. Your own people can’t even stand you!!!

Did I hear Rose in the video calling for a ‘man of God” to stand up against Cecil?

Mark Duke…where are You?

Mr Duke has enough influence to convince 30 people to move to Selma for his cause.

Mr Duke has enough money to pay for hundreds of people to come to Selma in the heat of August to protest for his cause.

Mr Duke hasn’t enough intestinal fortitude to come to ONE Selma City Council meeting to stand with Rose.

Instead he coerces her to ‘throw some chairs around.’

Sad Sad Sad

This is insanity, but then again it involves Rose so I apologize for the redundancy. Who cares if Williamson went to a function honoring Forrest. Has he not a right to go where he wishes or honor his history?

What has Williamson done anyway? Has he imposed his personal feelings into city business? Has he somehow injured Rose or the city? Is a city council meeting the appropriate forum to attack a person for what he does on his own time? Funny how truth is only Rose’s truth and justice is only her loudmouth opinion.

The true problems in Selma are the rabblerousers and pathetic stooges that have nothing better to do than run their mouths and gather in public to make fools of themselves. The reason Selma is in the shape it is has much more to do with Rose and her vitriolic rhetoric and conduct than whether Cecil Jackson chooses to attend a ceremony honoring a long dead Confederate General no matter what he did. That this woman is granted publicity for her ravings is just wrong. If Rose were to go and hear Farrakhan or “Rev.” Wright speak, that would be ballyhooed as honoring diverse thinking.

I have a great idea. Why prolong the agony? Let’s just make Rose the Mayor and let her appoint all her cronies into positions of leadership. Within 12 months both the white flight and legitimate business concerns would have relocated, the tax base will have evaporated, and Selma would be overrun by both the criminal element and those who value entitlements and something for nothing. Then only those remain and support her views and enjoy wallowing in her tiresome rampages can preside over their own form of Walpurgis Night as Selma dies and is reborn as the Dallas County version of Uniontown.

So sad to see people trying to drag a beautiful city drug into the septic tank like this..

Grow up Rose, this isn’t the 1950′s or 1960′s.

One good reason their actions are not reported is because NOBODY cares! Rose is always stirring up trouble and getting as much attention as she can while doing it. Selma would be a better place without her and without her followers! I completely agree with NL, If her time and worthless effort for attention was put into something else such as stopping her so loved “hate crimes” in Selma, something good might actually arise from her actions.

Wow, who cares? Do you do everything for press? Hope not
