And yet you just had a huge rant on another thread about the "Brits" being racist.

You even want the UK to change its culture to suit you. Do you include the Scots, the Welsh, and the Northern Irish by the way, or do you mean just the English?

I tell the Americans they are not even a civilized nation all the time

It's not to suit me either it is to suit the globalized western secularism which was instated by largely Anglo powers
some whinging pommie just don't like it now you have to do it too
200 years too late to start complaining  

IF your culture is "NOT accepting people speaking to each other on the bus in language you don't understand" then HELL yeah i support changing your culture by force if necessary cause the world Doesn't need another Nazi Scum nation with a culture like that.
The Global community has to look to Europe as a potential Nazi Terrorist breeding ground, that may have to be dealt with we can not let Europe Commit the atrocities it has committed in the past again.

Unquestionably, discrimination can go both ways.  But in the aggregate in America, it is much more common that whites discriminate against blacks.  That is because blacks don’t have the problem; whites do.  That’s why we say that racism is a white problem.



Because Republicans have opted to serve the racists in America—recalling how Republicans have adopted the Southern Strategy— they quite naturally do not get the majority of black votes.  

Realizing this, Republican lawmakers have done as much as they can to prevent blacks from being able to vote.  Again, this is overlapping: politics this time, with racism.  Another example of how life is a mixture, not a laboratory.

I didn't ask why they want to target black people, I asked how they're doing it.

No...you asked how is THAT targeting black people...a more specific question.  If your motive is to discourage adverse votes, you single out those voters that are adverse and try to preclude them from the process.

When you use words, connecting to ideas, you've got to think about what you are saying.

In other words, you do not see people as individuals, you see them as one colour or another. To a white person who has been discriminated against, it doesn't matter how many other white people have been discriminated against. That's the point of equality laws - they protect individuals, not just people from minorities - or at least they're supposed to.

Says the person who can't decide what "privileged" means.

I asked how, not why.

The limitations are yours, sweet-pea.  Typical of any and all conservatives, any fault is not their own. The fact that you have no reasoning faculties is due either to a poor education (being kind), or somebody else must be wrong.  Certainly it is not the conservative's fault.

As one old German soldier remarked: The only thing Hitler did wrong was lose!  Lol.

So anyway, how are black people prevented from voting?

In the debate over new laws meant to curb voter fraud in places like Florida, Democrats always charge that Republicans are trying to suppress the vote of liberal voting blocs like blacks and young people, while Republicans just laugh at such ludicrous and offensive accusations. That is, every Republican except for Florida’s former Republican Party chairman Jim Greer, who, scorned by his party and in deep legal trouble, blew the lid off what he claims was a systemic effort to suppress the black vote. In a 630-page deposition recorded over two days in late May, Greer, who is on trial for corruption charges, unloaded a litany of charges against the “whack-a-do, right-wing crazies” in his party, including the effort to suppress the black vote.

In the deposition, released to the press yesterday, Greer mentioned a December 2009 meeting with party officials. “I was upset because the political consultants and staff were talking about voter suppression and keeping blacks from voting,” he said, according to the Tampa Bay Times. He also said party officials discussed how “minority outreach programs were not fit for the Republican Party,” according to the AP.

Thank you.

So they stop ex prisoners from voting, and black people are more likely to have been to prison?

One group suing the state claims up to 87 percent of the voters purged from the rolls so far have been people of color, though other estimates place that number far lower. Scott has defended the purge, even though he was erroneously listed as dead himself on the rolls in 2006.

As Vanity Fair noted in a big 2004 story on the Sunshine State’s voting problems, “Florida is a state with a history of disenfranchising blacks.” In the state’s notoriously botched 2000 election, the state sent a list of 50,000 alleged ex-felons to the counties, instructing them to purge those names from their rolls. But it turned out that list included 20,000 innocent people, 54 percent of whom were black, the magazine reported. Just 15 percent of the state’s population is black. There were also reports that polling stations in black neighborhoods were understaffed, leading to long lines that kept some people from voting that year.

No, they stop "ex prisoners" from voting -- many of whom were never actually in prison or convicted of a crime in the first place.

They also do things like drastically reduce the hours for early voting, making it tougher for people who have a harder time getting time away from work to vote. In the 2000 election, a lot of the black people struck from rolls were done so based on the fact that their names were similar to convicted felons in Texas. http://www.salon.com/2000/12/04/voter_file/

Don't white people have a hard time getting away from work too?
