    It's the George Floyd thread which seems to have drifted towards the black vote being supressed. Not sure it's anything to do with your PPS number and e voting.

    There are posts above complaining about ALL PEOPLE having to take the DAY OFF from work to vote! thats why I mentioned E voting and how people do not get time to vote.

    Seems like EVOTING should be revisited and reconsidered what with all thats is going on, but perhaps thats for another thread?

    Yup sure sounds like it could do.

    Do you think it could have anything to do with the systemic racism suggested in the wiki link?

    What’s the poor cracker version of systematic racism?? Because there’s fcuk all poor white folk getting jobs as CEOs too.

    You look it up and show us how voter suppression is somehow targeting black people...

    Does it target people, or black people? Does it target a specific color, or does it juts target people?

    Very lazy... or because you don't want to change your opinion, more likely. Happy reading. I do hope it educates.
    Certain communities are particularly susceptible to suppression and in some cases, outright targeted — people of color, students, the elderly, and people with disabilities.

    As far as I know there is not too much e-voting within the US and a lot of distrust in the places that have it. Also a lot of people say they have to take time off work to vote so lose money to do so.

    Certain communities are susceptible to suppression.

    We all know this..

    There is no proof or fact in the claim that the U.S. are deliberately and intentionally targeting certain colours.

    Thanks for all this

    But what has it got to do with the U.S. targeting black people?

    It reads to me like a list of excuses and blame...

    Seriously, some of you guys don't even realize that the peddling of this is actually insulting to black people

    Black people don't crave your concern and pity....it's such a patronizing way to speak about the "plight" of the poor black person..

    Because they could easily move voting to a weekend or have a national voting day but they don't because they know minorities disproportionately can't miss work days.

    DMVs don't open on weekends and those that do require 90 days notice for an appointment, again this is because minorities can't afford time off work. In a country like America where most people don't have passports there is no ID card unlike other large countries where passports are rare (Brazil, Russia) again this is because its known minorities disproportionately don't have valid ID and can't miss work to obtain one.

    The felons can't vote law is literally to prevent minorities from voting. It wipes out 25% of potential black votes and almost 40% of potential minority voters (hispanic, black). This is in a justice system where for the exact same crimes whites get off disproportionately to blacks being convicted.

    And if they are doing it unintentionally that makes it ok?

    John 13:1–17
    Jesus' performance of this act. In verses 13:14–17, He instructs His disciples: If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you.

    This guy argues that there's no systemic racism.. it's more cultural (this is obviously a major factor)..and he actually puts the blame on democratic policies during the 60s and 70s which damaged the black family..

    Why does it have to be black teens? It's a horrible situation however it occured but focusing on the fact they are black just shows societies underlying racism? Why focus on this one when there are stabbings across the country or is this one more significant because black people were involved?

    Multicultural team of cops kneel on man and kill him: Racist. BLM. Rioting and Looting for days.

    Black teen repeatedly stabs prone white teen: Why even mention colour.

    Pathetic.

    How ya all feeling about BLM given the middle finger to all covid 19 efforts and getting protests up and going, ironically enough black people are more susceptible to it , ****in racist disease black people 4 times more likely to die from it than the white man , I suspect this is a ploy to keep blacks down further

    Clintons 1994 Crime bill did awful damage to the Black community as well.

    Democrats, filled with White Liberals, have done more damage to the Black Community than the KKK.

    They (the Democrats) believe that Black people are too stupid to perform in the education system without dropping the standards, too dumb to get jobs without Affirmative Action ...indeed, they believe that if you are black and you don't vote democrat you are not in fact black.

    Any community that depends on state assistance, any gender, any ethnic group invariable ends up in a more dysfunctional state than they were before they depended on the state...it's the same the world over.
