Why All Black People Of Voting Age Should Still Vote!


1) Because the establishment do not expect us to.

2) Because the establishment has done and will continue to discourage and disenfranchise as much as possible.

3) If some one goes through all the trouble of deceptive and disruptive practices, then voting must be important or they would not waste the time or resources to do anything, so voting must mean something.

4) At one time our people weren’t allowed to vote; just to honor those who gave their lives and limbs should be motivation enough.

5) Our children watch what we do when they see us they will follow. To let them know that even through all the trouble we have gone through and may continue to go through We Still Have a Voice!

6) If we don’t stand for something we will continue to fall for anything.

7) Many Black people don’t have anything to lose anyway, we should do it Just Because We Can!

8) Because the establishment don’t want us to.

9) Black men should because we need to send a message as men.

10) Black women should just to say we stand behind our men.

11) Vote for all the brothers and sisters who can’t, ex-felons who lost their rights to vote even after they served their time for their crime 1out of 5 black men not allowed to vote, because of ex-felon law.

Now we have NO EXCUSE !

My answer to this is; Go read my post in the I.R.S. thread. It's really that simple. If you can't understand that then you don't have a reason to vote at all.

I agree with this post.

However, a few others have nothing to offer but excuses and more weak arguments to divert attention from What Must Be Done. Stay Vigilent and Don't Give Up The Fight!

I am still not convinced yes voting can be important give me a king or a Mendella heck even Sharpleton to vote for then yeah I can see it.

But one cracka party or another both thinking pretty much the same like last election a choice to vote was between a redneck and some dude that can't even make up his mind what he thinks.
The importance of having the right to vote I get but chosing between a redneck and a what the heck I can't see the point to.

The Right to Vote

The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not
be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.
— Fifteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution (1870)

The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not
be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.— Nineteenth Amendment (1920)

The right of citizens of the United States to vote in any
primary or other election . . . shall not be denied or abridged . . . by reason of failure to pay any poll tax or other tax.— Twenty-fourth Amendment (1964)

The right of citizens of the United States, who are eighteen years of age or older, to vote, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of age.— Twenty-sixth Amendment (1971)

Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America (1835)

Once a people begins to interfere with the voting qualification, one can be sure that sooner or later it will abolish it altogether. That is one of the most invariable rules of social behavior. The further the limit of voting rights is extended, the stronger is the need felt to spread them still wider, for after each new concession the forces of democracy are strengthened, and its demands increase with the augmented power. The ambition of those left below the qualifying limit increases in proportion to the number of those above it. Finally the exception becomes the rule; concessions follow one another without interruption, and there is no halting place until universal suffrage has been attained.
