Ok, I was afraid he might have lied which would be out of character for him. Im glad he has remained consistent and didn't lie, im relieved it was just that you don't like what you precieive to be a lack of compleetness in his presentation of facts, omission is not lie.

In this case omission is indeed a lie. He represents things such that blacks are getting the best part of the steak. He paints whites as the underclass yet even you won't approach the questions I raised.


Percentage of the senate? Come on now, what percent is black.

I care to a certain extent. But the fact of the matter is, I nor you or anyone else can ever do anything about it. Unless you are ridiculously rich and have the power to change something there isn't any point in worrying about it.

There really isn't much you can do about anything at all, I mean we are born, we die and that's about it, why get out of your couch at all?
 
intimidating voters at the polls - the outrage from such an act would have been universal.. the purpetrators would have faced 20 years....(had they been white) - lie, voter intimidation is going on now, by white people and no one is even being accused of any wrong doing.


See Truethevote.org and their poll watching seminars.

Sorry to quote information without double checking...
On March 10, 1971, the Senate voted 94–0 in favor of proposing a Constitutional amendment to guarantee that the voting age could not be higher than 18.[SUP][7][/SUP] On March 23, 1971, the House of Representatives voted 401–19 in favor of the proposed amendment.[SUP][8][/SUP] Within four months after the Congress submitted it to the states, the amendment was ratified by three-fourths of the state legislatures, the shortest time in which any proposed amendment has received the number of ratifications needed for adoption. The only reason why it passed was because the American people were Outraged that they could fight in a war but couldn't vote... Someone has to think of a law in order to have it come to pass.

You should care, if you are being taxed at a high rate and someone making more money than you is being taxed at a low rate and we each have a debt to repay, you are paying proportionately more than the other guy.

so the house, the senate and the president passed the law? the people may have been for it, they may have agitated for it but they don't create or pass laws. It may seem nit pickey, but it really isn't.
