There is no "trusting" someone who tosses the racism accusation around without proof. Look, let me net it out...you are defending a policy which would establish a filter for voting rights based on "intellect or IQ, or political knowledge"...this is what inode argued in the post that triggered my response...it's not the first time he's argued this position...and the argument often follows posts on laws republicans have passed, in most republican held legislatures, laws that are clearly aimed at minority voter suppression...laws that are not passing the test of legality...now, if you want to argue that this is not racist by intent, I will take the high road and grant you that...but inode makes it worse and argue the IQ filter to boot...are you kidding me? You can't argue that a) such a practice would be incredibly discriminatory and regressive..it's unthinkable really... and b) that it would end up being racially targeted by way of socio economic realities... look at what republicans did in NC...so low is low...then the question is, how low do you want to go to stick by your politics... There is also no "trusting" someone who is quick to call out the racism of a conservative but gives all the racist liberals on this thread a pass. Which racist liberals are you referring to? Give us some examples... Al
