It wasn’t boiler plate. It was from an actual test in Alabama, that showed how white people were given two simple sentences to read, and blacks had to read aloud from a long, complicated passage of legalese.
I deliberately posted it as a reply to each person who was (ignorantly) dismissing the test as “trivial” and “easy”.
Wherever you got that information, there is around a 98% chance of it being made up and passed off as true by some media or maybe the Southern Poverty Law Center.
>> It wasn’t boiler plate.
Well, yeah, it was. Sorry, I know you’re righteous, but posting the same copied text with no individual comment — indeed, essentially no comment at all — is posting boilerplate. How about posting once to all four miscreants then?

It’s not at all ignorant to dismiss this test as trivial and easy, because, truth be told, it IS pretty trivial and pretty easy, if you can think. I can’t count the number of IQ, GRE, military acceptance, etc. tests I have taken that have QUITE SIMILAR questions.
The problems instead lie in the fact that grading it can be subjective, and more importantly, the test was given distinctively to blacks, not across the board to all voters. It was also given an arbitrary and, it appears, unreasonable “passing” threshold.
In my view, your failure to understand and acknowledge these truths, coupled with your broadcast of your own cherry picked example, indicate that you have predjudicial issue of your own.
