#1 Blacks have not done well in improving their lot through the vote.

#2 94% of Detroit voted for Biden!

Don't you assholes see how ludicrous that statement is? Do you think he's Ceausescu or Brezhnev?

This muppet didn't even knock on any doors in Detroit.
Trump doubled his share of the black male vote.

And you expect us to believe that the basement boy got more votes than Soetoro got in 2016? From a county which never gets participation above 67%?

Keep on dreamin'. The only way Biden "won" Brezhnev-levels of black voters in Detroit is through fraud.

#4 Blacks already vote 2 times, or 5 times or 10 times if you live in the right black controlled cities. However many votes are needed to ensure a Democratic Party win, no matter the actual vote count.

#5 State of Montana gets less representation than districts in Florida because they count foreigners in the apportionment of representatives rather than just citizens. It's all about power, nothing more.

#6 How about we give people the right to vote when they pay actual taxes on income from working or retirement? Only citizens participants ,no felony criminal record, with confirmed voter ID linked to birth records? Then maybe the people elected might actually want to do the things that improve a limited government while mostly staying out of fhe way?

#8 Yeah, grom, "taxpayers" vs. "citizens", with the latter living on the dole. Not that the taxpayers had much say in the government, anyway, since the Senate had all the real power.

Today, though, we don't have off-world colonies to exile the "citizens" who run afoul of the law.

As for the story -- minorities should be careful demanding power out of scale with their actual presence. And their "substandard education" systems are not the result of lack of power -- every city I'm aware of has majority black run school boards and administration -- but the lack of care. If the community demanded a for-real, "three R's" education without the latest education school Marxist fad, their schools would quickly outpace suburban schools still enamored with ed school credentials.

#9 ^Modern education system - especially in teacher colleges, is garbage.
