The Faces of the Randolph County Commission--Racists (and felons)

*Updated--October 12th
WEDOWEE, Alabama — A county commissioner from east Alabama has resigned after being videotaped using a racial slur to describe black children.

Thomas "June" Waldrep submitted his resignation after this video was made public.

Does anyone believe the rest of the commission did not know what a racist he was is?



There's a separate video, as a selection choice after the one above plays, about "redistricting" in which Waldrep is running off at the mouth about a fellow black commissioner, Lathonia White, and he drops the "N" word again.

RCC Doug Sheppard-District 2 refused to accept an offer for one count of misdemeanor ethics violations in exchange for all fifteen felony counts being dropped against him.
*Update--A second RCC member facing 15 felony charges of ethics violations has also resigned his seat.

    What do you expect from a state that flies a huge rebel flag 200feet in the air over I-65?

    One thing we're real good at in Aladumba is making sure the rest of the country knows how damn stupid our politicians are.

    Not the first time and won't be the last in Randolph.

    Alabama principal who made racist comments reinstated; the local NAACP continues fight

    The NAACP in Randolph County, AL, has vowed 'there will be no peace" until a White high school principal who was reinstated to his job despite making racial slurs, is removed from the position.

    In a 4-2 vote, the Randolph County School Board favored reinstating Hulond Humphries, principal of Randolph County High School in Wedowee, AL.

    Humphries, 55, had been suspended with pay following a threat to cancel his school's April 23 prom if interracial couples were to attend. He also has been accused of making racist comments to a mixed race student during a school assembly in February.

    Archibald was right in one of his recent columns--"Alabama--We Dare Defend Our Wrongs" over and over again.
    Gawd what an embarrassment.....

    Once again an Alabama politician just cannot hide who he really is from the media.
    This old geezer should have been retired twenty years ago.

    Note that in one of the two videos, he also says something to the effect of "I hire those monkeys for $10,000 year." Any notion that he's addled with age is incorrect. He's a bad guy not just for his words but for his deeds...

    Agreed.
    Old age and stupidity is not an excuse for the evil of racism.
    But it seems to help.

    I bet it's just the tip of the ice berg and goes on in a lot more.
    Good for Public TV for exposing this ugliness!

    Some of us who live here have a front row seat to this, and other, stupid antics on a daily basis. The latest is that Sheppard resigned and pled guilty in exchange for court costs and, are you ready for this? SIX MONTHS in jail, which was... of course, suspended. If he had had just a darker skin color he might have been thrown under the jail. Reckon it stops here? No, there are many other acts that go unseen. How about the poor BLACK employees who now can't collect unemployment because the business owners just shut down and haven't paid the taxes on them? Or, that in retaliation of when the school burned the school records that are altered so that "racial equality" is achieved? Or, how the roads for the "lake" people seem to be maintained while others just fall appart? I'm just saying........

    Sounds to me like it's time for another storm of Civil Rights groups to take over Wedowee and even the playing field.
    Hate has no place in any modern society.
    Racism has no place anywhere at any time.

    By the way the other Commissioner who resigned over the Felony Indictments...

    Believe it or not really one of the good guys, Repbulican, photos were sent from Judge Von Stewart the II son, Von the III who just happened to be in Randolph county with a buddy on Community Service.

    Had it not been for Doug these videos of "June" would have never been seen.

    A single dad with custody being threaten with his 2 teenage children, you have to ask how a prosecutor so sure of 15 Felony Counts will just drop those to 1 misdemeanor.

    Just thought you would like to know.

    Very interesting PTV.

    Thank you for sharing that info and the courage to reveal June for what he is--a blatant racist.
