45. Fine I get what you're saying but
Are you Black? I wouldn't presume to lecture her or Black leaders SINCE I as a white woman have no idea how it feels to be intimated out of voting. I can't even imagine. I know the same old people keep talking about it-Jesse Jackson et all. When was the last time you heard a white leader mention it either?

And I just realized this year (I'm in my forties) that this country isn't even a Democracy. It's a sham of a Democracy. I'm beyond rage, I feel a horrible dread and despair- it's like this country has the same old cancer on it and nothing has really changed since 1964. And that was certainly her point-they have just gotten more sophisticated about it.
