So Clyde think it's racist because it was done in predominately black communities.

 

However, if it were done in predominately wealthy white communities, Clyde would have no issue with it....

 

Who again is making this a racial issue? :idunno:

 

 

Maybe your mind is too simple to follow.

 

It's 100% aimed at keeping down the black vote. Who do the blacks support and what %? Ds. 95%.

 

That shows the lunacy of your "if they put it in a white neighborhood" comment. Whites, unlike blacks, do not vote in block so a sign in a white 'hood would not be linked to one party or the other.

 

Keep swinging. You'll hit one eventually.

I'm a world-class cynic. I just don't see how it takes much thought to understand the reasoning behind these billboards.

 

I simply disagree that it is there to keep them from voting at all. Again, I'm not as cynical, so I could see it being put there for them to realize things like the "Black Panther Voter Assistance" program from 2008 isn't legal...for example.

I wish they would have put the boards up 4 years ago.

As I've said previously the fact that it is there doesn't mean it will be successful. My guess is it will have little impact. It may even backfire.

 

Didn't we have a similar cry when the two black dudes in Philly were standing outside of a poll? Isn't it irrational think that a black guy is going to attack you in front of a large group of people?

 

Yet there were probably people who walked away because they were scared. Those two black guys weren't there trying to scare black people. They were there to scare white people. Just like this sign. As irrational as it really is.

Nor have they ever been disenfranchised in this country. Realistically, that occurring would be impossible.

Nope, I just prefer to not cry "racism" with everything involving blacks.

The two black guys admitted they were trying to scare white voters away? This is the same? A physical presence and a sign?

So they believe that if they produce a valid I.D. and vote one time that they might be violating a law? Sounds like the police is the least of their problems.

 

If they didn't have problems they'd probably be in a neighborhood that doesn't have billboards explaining what a felony is right outside their front door.

The best way to do that is to put the same billboards up in the suburbs, the countryside and the gated communities. You want people to quit crying racism then make things equal. Putting up a billboard like this in the inner city only when in actuality there are more UFO sightings than cases of voter fraud is asking for a debate just like this.

 

Again I ask, how many cases of voter fraud in this precinct where this billboard was erected is there to bring justification of that billboard? Why on earth would those people spend time time trying to rig a presidential election that can't be won by voter fraud anyways instead of trying to get to a neighborhood that doesn't have billboards in it?

 

Why not put up a billboard that has drug trafficking laws or bus driver assault laws and other actual crimes being committed in that neighborhood?

Let's for a second play you guys' game. Say they did this with the intention of trying to get some people to not. Even if that's the case, the whole racism claim is a huge leap. Common sense would say that they would target areas that are the most heavily pro-Obama. If that happens to be areas with large concentrations of blacks, than that's where it is. Race doesn't have to be the first thing everyone crys.

 

Fact is, all any of us are doing is assuming what the intention was. Some, (Clyde), won't even entertain any plausible explainations other than racism. Could race play an issue? Sure it could, but it's not the only plausible reason here, and it most certainly shouldn't be the first thing people claim without having a clue as to what the intent was.

How in the hell does a billboard make things "unequal"?

I also believe that this, like other such idiot ideas, has backfired and will have an effect opposite what was hoped for.

 

Agree, I could see several minorities who may not have voted get ticked off and are now inspired to vote having the exact opposite affect than hoped for by the person/people who put up the signs.

How in the hell does a billboard make things "unequal"?

 

Why are they only targeting one specific area of people with this voter fraud billboard? Is it because those who would commit voter fraud live in these areas only? Should voter fraud be something that everyone be aware of? Why just these areas with blacks and Latinos inhabiting these areas? Do whites not commit voter fraud? Do they already know the laws so no billboards are needed in their areas?

The two black guys admitted they were trying to scare white voters away? This is the same? A physical presence and a sign?

 

How were they doing that? Did they have a gun in their hand? Did they see any other whites getting their butt whipped for voting?

Race is exactly the reason BECAUSE blacks will vote for Obama 95% of the time. I'm not sure if that falls under "racism" nor do I care. Irrelevant.The reason IS race though regardless . That's the point that you can't get through your head.
