Department of Justice Fails to Ensure Voting for Military

[King Doctor]

So because there are 18% of blacks in active service yet they're only 12% of the national population, this policy of denying votes to the military is racist?

Are you saying that you're in favour of denying votes to black people?

When did I say that? I'm saying the DOJ is allowing states to deny military people the right to vote. There is no racism present, just straight up illegal acts. Believe it or not, in the real world, there are other things wrong that aren't based on race. Your attempts at linking this to racism are just a distraction from the actual issue.

There is no racism present

Even though this law happens to have a disproportionate effect on blacks and appears to be being used to prevent them from exercising their voting rights in the same fashion as whites?

Exactly. If white military personnel were allowed to vote while black military personnel were barred, THAT would be racism. In this case, ALL military personnel from select states are barred from voting. That's illegal, not racist.

Even if we were to accept your line of thinking that this is racist, who cares? The Obama Department of Justice is barring people from voting, and THAT'S the real story here. Let's focus on the actual issue and not some perceived racism.

I'm just amazed that so many people are desperately trying to turn a blind eye to the inherent racism of these measures. Only Woodruff seems to vaguely get it.
Seriously, I have to question the motives and mindset of anyone who would deliberatley turn a blind eye to it. You'd have to be a racist not to see it.

Stop trolling. Please. As well, stop attributing things to me that you know very well are not true.

Speaking of crazy;

This is in direct conflict with the Demoscat/Future Mass Murderers Party.

I actually didn't mean that. I meant to say "Demonscat". I missed the n.

It was too long to quote, so I'm just posting the link. New York has failed to give military personnel the right to cast their ballot in the upcoming election. Any chance this is an attempt to limit votes for the Republican candidates in their 3 major state elections??

This is a serious issue, no doubt. However, from all I have read, the problem is more military logistics than a problem with any one state. No matter.. it is WRONG!

Oh man, this thread reminds me of how stupid/trolling KD was.
