Reply #22: It's much bigger than blackwell

Jsut because we have scrutinized ohio and been able to from there pluck up the silenced plight of those who were held down for their skin color, doesn't mean that racism and disenfranchisement only applied to ohio, or that this is merely an "unfair condition".

This is some selma shit. IT needs to be seen for what it is. We have far too long relegated the struggle for civil rights and the equity of minority persons to historical perspectives rather than accept and face the ongoing reality. Racism is alive and well. The 1996 promise by the GOP to build a bridge to the past has been realized. In 2000 shades of KKK rallies came over that bridge screaming "let us in". When what they meant was "keep THEIR KIND out".

It's time to make this about civil rights and equal rights for blacks. Seperate and differing elections systems, and no guranteed right to vote is hitting black folks more than anyone else. Jsut as seperate but equal did in the 60's, so does it again now.

Our election system is a hold out of hte seperate but equal days. This is clear and obvious. We only notice now because we need blacks to help us win, but the fact is that they have been there in an unequal place all along. IT's nationwide and it's blatant white supremecy that keeps this system in place.

I would rather remind amreica where the GOP stands on that issue.
