Why Voting Is Important
By: NicodemasWhat you see happening here tonight is the down payment of the fulfillment of dream of Martin Luther King. Just a few short years ago in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, many people of color could not even register to vote and now, these people are voting for an African-American,
Representative John Lewis (D-GA).
Well, John, while I admire MLK also, I do believe the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was at least fifty-three years ago. Your recent awakening from your half-century long coma must be screwing with your perception of few, short years ago.
Sorry, everyone. I just hate when politicians still bring up stupid, mob-pleasing statements without seemingly thinking them through, and perpetuating the idea that racism and segregation just recently got overturned by the judicial branch down here in my hometown and state.
