I didn't say they had "no power." I questioned whether or not they have "the power to do anything they want in inner cities."
nobody nowhere has the power to do whatever they want, but they have as much power as the people of any other city.
The fact, for instance, that black precincts voted overwhelmingly for Democratic candidates did not prevent many of those same black precincts from seeing massive voter suppression in Florida in 2000.
move them goalposts! we're not talking about florida 2000, we're talking about the plight of inner city blacks in cities run for and by democrats.
The people calling the shots about the poll lists were not Democrats, but the Republican state attorney general and her people.
who cares? this isn't the topic of discussion.
Voter caging, removing names from the voter rolls, sometimes sending out deceptive flyers to black neighborhoods, assigning a deliberately low number of voting machines, or making sure the machines shipped to those districts are badly maintained and prone to breakdowns...
"democrat stongholds" have the majority. any voter suppression would more likely be against non-democrat voterss.
Do you understand how voter suppression works?
yes. and contrary bto your implications, it's a tactic used for centuries by political parties past and present. it's also irrelevant to the topic at hand.
Are black voters, as a group, more stupid and gullible than white voters?
no subject
