Not addressing the 2nd half of my sentence is not addressing the reality of today...

You are emotional. I get it. You are angry. You talk in circles and say nothing like a drunk woman on PMS. Too bad you aren't capable of actually making a coherent argument that people would agree with, you could make a difference rather than validating stereotypes.

The point is again that EVERYONE has the Constitutional Right to vote. My point was that what Jackson said was dishonest. NO ONE is being prevented from voting. No one is being denied their Constitutional Rights. End of story.

That act - i don't care if it exists or not. From a rational/logical standpoint, its something that was basically affecting only certain states because of shit they were pulling 50 years ago and before. Not stuff that happens today. In fact, it was demonstrated by the DOJ records that it was unnecessary. If the Federal Government told Idaho they had to get any and all changes to any election process approved by the Federal Government today, they'd be told to fuck off. No other state, if told this today would accept it.

It was struck down because part of it was Unconstitutional and the court itself said it was not necessary today as it did not address any problems of today.

I would say that denying and discounting the life work of these two men very much makes you an ignorant racist. uplifting the lives of black americans have been their prime focus for many decades. No matter how much you choose to remain ignorant of that it remains as an undeniable fact.

I haven't denied or discounted anything.

What Jackson did during the civil rights movement is great. He did a lot of great things after. Today, he is just a washed up has been singing the same old song and does absolutely nothing to address the real problems of the people he claims to be fighting for.

Sharpton......? NOT A SINGLE FUCKING PERSON HERE CAN NAME ANYTHING SHARPTON HAS DONE BESIDES SHOW UP LIKE A MAGICAL LEPRECHAUN GUARDING A POT OF GOLD EVERY TIME THE WORD "racist" IS USED IN ANYTHING GETTING MEDIA ATTENTION.

Oh... except he was an FBI informant.

Oh... and he milked the media circus of Tawana Bradly falsely accusing 6 men of raping her for all that it was worth.

And if you think anything i say makes me "racist", then you have no clue what racist even means.

Cutting off early voting days doesn't prevent working people from voting? Changing rules right before an election doesn't prevent people from voting? Cutting the number of voting machines doesn't prevent people from voting? Telling a student that if they vote where they go to school their parents will lose their tax exemptions doesn't prevent people from voting?

Republicans are even admitting that they are trying to prevent Democrats from voting. I heard a quote by someone (I'll try to find it) that said they weren't trying to keep blacks from voting, they were trying to keep Democrats from voting... And the state of Texas, in response to it's changing voting rules being challenged by the DOJ:

Isn't it funny that since the VRA was struck down the only areas that are rushing to make it harder to vote are those with currently Republican rule...

And Republicans working to suppress Democrat votes is nothing new. Listen to the own words of their mentor, the guy who co-founded the Heritage Foundation and ALEC:

Guess you did not read the story? The "white" guy was the driver and has not been charged with murder.

One of the three was a white kid. The white kid WAS NOT the driver. One of the black kids was, and he has been charged as well.

Hey look... Southern Democrats exercising their rights to assemble and express themselves. See how that retarded game works?

Again, the law did not address the reality of 2013 and part of it was ruled unconstitutional by the court. Simple stuff to understand. You can't have a law on the books that is unconstitutional. Pretty basic stuff.

I was simply saying 1 thing and one thing only that you took to an entirely different place AFTER agreeing I was 100% correct... and that is that what Jackson implied with what said on his facebook page was 100% false. Further, it does NO ONE any favors to use such retarded rhetoric when it comes to "healing" and "bringing people together". in 2013, Jackson and Sharpton are very divisive people as they have been for many years and their message is no longer one that helps any particular group, their message not only hurts those they claim to fight for but it also drives people apart. That is how they attempt to stay relevant.

Hey candyflip, how bout you maybe look into the thread you started, and maybe answer this question?
