>> At other times, disenfranchisers have argued that if the other party accepts voting restrictions, it would lower the political temperature. As early as 1780, proponents of Black disenfranchisement argued that Black exclusion was needed for national unity because White Southerners would never consent to a Union in which Black men were citizens.

God, the WaPo just floods your mind with ignorance and hatred. It is really sick.
There are no Jim Crow laws in the United States. If you believe otherwise, instead of bullshitting around the bush, why not just cite it? And it can't be voter ID which, which most civilized countries require (including but not limited to Norway, Northern Ireland, Germany, Switzerland, France, Israel, Mexico, Iceland, and many others). And it can't that people are required to go to polls, which is ALSO required all over the world. Jim Crow laws are not laws that are in use in countries all over the world.
So, how about you simply cite the precise laws you find offensive so we can discuss the heart of the issue, which is Jim Crow laws? |
