When you read shyt like this its no wonder we are where we are, currently, as a people. I'm not making excuses, but just reading about how organized and tactically planned the disenfranchisement of black people was (and still is) is really frustrating. Its like whites watch us build ourselves up only to knock us back down. Interesting reading about the poll tax and literacy tests required to vote when you compare that to voting IDs and how similar the intentions behind both practices are. A good read, OP.
