“While it may not be politically correct to say so, the fact is that Mississippi’s back in the civil rights murder business.

For Mississippians of my generation, a civil rights murder means just one thing - a white person killed a black person more or less for the “crime” of being black - other details optional.

But across this nation, this state and even in the small town where I lay my head at night and go to church on Sunday, a new civil rights murder modus operandi is developing in which a somebody kills a Hispanic person more or less for the “crime” of being Hispanic - other details optional.”
