    Not when you understand the disproportionate incarceration of black people for the same crimes. Like how the war on drugs made lot of drug crimes felonies with the intention of disenfranchising the black population through unequal enforcement. Plus Jim Crow laws and everything else that disproportionately punishes black folks based on criminal history.

    Understanding history is why we know racism is a major component of anything that removes the right to vote.

      More like you’re just grasping at straws to connect entirely disconnected events since you have no actual position to argue from an honest perspective
