Black Leadership is planning black protests on the backs of these rumors, despite the fact that 90% voted. Black Leadership is drawing attention to the problem of hegemony, where a minority group muscles it's way to whatever it's immediate goal might be.

The statistics predict that a backlash against current black leadership is guaranteed. Blacks should be spending time building bridges, not burning them. There is no other minority group in America with the clout of the blacks, problem is their votes are on record almost all spoke.

Challenge for blacks is, act foolishly behind a leadership that articulates extortion as a means to an end. But do so, against a backdrop of 107 million mostly white people who are about to say ENOUGH!

Felons cannot vote in Florida or most states. Some states specifically take voting rights away when a flony hits a certain hurdle.

Some states, like Florida, have a blanket "no voting for any felons."

I hope this leads the black leadership to start fighting against the Drug War instead of pushing for it...
