They even put it into the Constitution.
I never said everyone would automatically vote based on skin color. You said that.
All white jury's convict innocen black men all the time. All white juries free guilty non black men all the time. Sentencing for blacks is longer than whites. Blacks are stopped by police more often for no reason than whites.

Racism in America is a Tradition. Stop acting brand new, it's getting old.
