believe what you may. Racists make it a lot harder for people of color to exercise their rights than you think, this has been proven over the last election cycle. I grew up in a time where these skills were being honed by the good, christians of RW amerikkka and believe me it's an art form. Even if the citizens of color in Ferguson, those without trumped up felonies, were to vote, I know, that no matter the shouts of vote fraud, the minority would hold on to their control of their area and of the people of color by using the rigged ballot box.....and whether you will admit it or not, that is amerika, 2014. Until the media becomes 'fair and balanced' again, until the huge influence of money is removed from the voting process, until ALL people of conscience start saying, NO MORE! Amerika will stay on it's path of decline and hate.
