    Not when you understand the disproportionate incarceration of black people for the same crimes. Like how the war on drugs made lot of drug crimes felonies with the intention of disenfranchising the black population through unequal enforcement. Plus Jim Crow laws and everything else that disproportionately punishes black folks based on criminal history.

    Understanding history is why we know racism is a major component of anything that removes the right to vote.

      More like you’re just grasping at straws to connect entirely disconnected events since you have no actual position to argue from an honest perspective

        They replied with factual information, my dude. You don’t have to like it, but it’s all true. You can look up any statistics on incarceration rates and sentence lengths based on race and you will find plenty of evidence to support the above.

        Everyone else has already taken their time to prove exactly how ignorant and uneducated your responses are so there’s no need for me to chime in with another, so instead- I’m just going to say that you probably know already that your racist rhetoric isn’t welcome here. You should go back to Reddit where that type of thing is tolerated or ignored.
