What's up with all these non-felon young folks not voting?


Dr. Phreeze said:
Go check out that 1964 Literacy test that our kinfolks had to take in Louisiana in order to register to vote. After I saw that exam, it pissed me off because I thought about my pops and mother. They were eligible to vote at the time. When I think about the elections, I think about how they were being disrespected. That's the point that Founder is trying to articulate. A damn literacy exam that students today can't even pass...

I know all about those tests, but knowledge of that, or bringing up Dr. King's death, is not enough to convince me to vote for candidates I know will only retard progress or significantly set back what little progress has been gained.

Man, I respect the process too much to do that.

You work in the media. Trump has said we will change the law so that media types can't be protected. That means you and your colleagues. Doesn't that concern you? How could one be a professional and not concerned about this?
 
The Founder said:
You are insulting people Kendrick. Imagine how that guy who had to take a literacy test to vote would feel about your decision.

These folks in Mississippi don't care about that. They have a governor that is having confederate history month and they still juking and shaking their ass I wish we put a voter booth in a club. This is why we have to reach the younger people and just skip this generation. I take my kids and other kids with me to watch me vote or let them push the botton and explain to them how important it is.

I think they do care but are afraid. Fear is an interesting tool.

As many black folk that died should be enough....don't let their death be in vain even if you don't like the candidates. As Pops said write yourself in at least you know in your heart you voted for a qualified candidate in your mind.

Meh.

And Trump said he was gonna authoritize the construction of a wall around the border and have Mexico pay for it.
 
You do realize passing the media bill is something the Republican party really wants to do, while the wall is actually just talk. Federal policy matters just like state and local. For instance the same people who hate the ACA have their kids on their insurance until 25 now. When I was younger you got dropped at 18. Now that the ACA was passed people can't be dropped because of terminal illness. One day you will be faced with elders in your family and those decisions will matter to you then.

Liberal media has gotten complacent. The Rush Limbaugh's and Sean Hannitys are about to take advantage of this laziness and motivate these klansmen to get more armed and "take their country back" and you know what that means

no, he was right...they are apathetic as hell...the kid I'm talking about is in MS...they aren't afraid...they just don't do shit to help themselves...that's what I'm seeing anyway. Baby making, juking....run from a job....

Kendrick...WOW. Now for an educated man in a position to potentially make a difference via the media..and you don't? That is downright damn disappointing.

Not only that they are figuring out ways to keep blacks from voting with this voter id crap then I read in Alabama they closed some dmv places in majority black areas to discourage them from getting ID's more reason to vote these people out

And I'll tell this Hard Truth to Black Folks:

We Got Caught Up in the "High" of Obama being Elected President in 2008 that Nationally, we ignored the mess these conservative Governors like Jindal, Rick Perry, and others were dong in their respective Conservative States....Where it is fair to say the majority of African-Americans reside.

Keep in mind that Obama lost all of these states in 2008 and 2012....someone correct me if I'm mistaken. So it wouldn't have mattered anyway.

Exactly look at the ruin Jindal put Louisiana in and how many years he was in office. Look at flint Michigan the governor overthrew the city government and gave poor whites and black folk dirty water kids who were very bright are not affected with mental problems and growth problems. These are consequences of making excuses of not voting and let the republicans take over. But our priorities are so messed up let it be an issue effecting something stupid like this gender neutral bathroom mess we will make sure we vote for that.
 
Look at the black man at the trump rally that got sucker punched by that old racist man. And in front of the cops and he still got pinned down by the cops. When you sit your butt at home and let these klansmen get in office they will back these police regardless and it will enable them to get more bold to beat and kill black people.

Now if you got a plan to move out and working on it I'm not mad at a brother for living with his folks. White folks been doing it for years. I know a guy who lives with his folks but owns 3 duplexes of apartments. His parents are about to sell their home, with the profits he is going to build a home for himself and build them an in-law quarters.

Yet, I know what you are saying some cats just LAZY!!!!

The media should have a field day on Trump and this white guy that punched the dude. Yet, we have a member of the media on this thread who is making reasons not to vote. SMH...
 
These Southern Conservatives Are Scared for Another Reason:

A lot of Black People who grew up and were raised in the South are moving out of the Southern Region for Jobs, etc.

What is going to stop these same Blacks from moving back home in the South and running for Public Office I.e. The Haley Barbour Method.

The Whites are fearful they are losing control....which they are.
