What a bunch of BS. Ignorance of the law is no excuse. If you don’t have the gumption enough to keep up with what is going on in your community and town then you don’t need to be voting in the first place. Our local paper comes out twice a week and costs .50 and it tells you what is going on. Keep up or shut up.

blah...blah...blah. Walk alone in urban utopia at midnight, Sarah. Silly, uppity, white privilege chick.

Blacks don’t need pity from goofy white people, they need black men to stand up and lead—no, not Sharpton or Jackson types.

Until this happens— it’s all going to be the same old same old.

In this state, register to vote is also registration for jury duty. Many people do not want on jury duty.

The solution will be “Affirmative voting” in which minority votes count twice. It’s only fair.

That...or hand out gift cards that can be used at any local business (say for $25)...but only for voters who belong to a minority group.

Quite true. I work with an SMI population, they want to vote (most do) but when the jury notice comes, they get their psychiatrist to sign a statement that it would be too much of a (mental) burden on them...

And the beat vote goes on ...

“How did a city where two-thirds of the residents are black elect an almost entirely white city government ... The answer is simple: Ferguson holds its city elections entirely separate from state and national elections”

ROTFLOL!

So her theory is that blacks are too stupid and/or too lazy compared to whites to vote in local elections?

“Just think, if they would only turn out (their choice entirely) they could have government like Detroit.”

Oh, man, lemme tell ya. I used to work for a company that had branch offices in Chicago and Detroit. For all the talk of “The Chicago Way” (much of it deserved), I’d rather do business in Chicago any day of the week and twice on Sundays than have to deal with the scene in Detroit.

I bet it was like trying to deal with a 3rd world country.

I work with plenty of smart blacks...I figure the Detroit, etc. problem isn’t genetic but the result of the rats wanting to keep that plantation voting block. It’s really immoral what they’ve done.

That is the case in most municipalities. No sense in garbling up elections with too many races national and local at once

Ah, I knew there was a reason those poor blacks just had to be being duped out of electing appropriate representatives in Ferguson - they’re disadvantaged because enough of them can’t understand the political process and think ahead to form coalitions and elect individuals who will do the job they want, and so whites who can, do - certainly not the fault of the blacks.....

So a white female, liberal democrat, say’s most blacks are lazy and won’t learn a damn thing and that’s news?
White liberal democrats have been saying such things for a very long time, they don’t believe that blacks can button their shirt right without their help.

It’s unfair that blacks have to show up and vote? Maybe they should bring baseball bats to the polling places like they do out east.
