Nowadays, the US repeals voting rights from those who have committed a felony, have a similar name to someone who's committed a felony, or live in the same neighborhood as people who conflict felonies. And who "just happen" to be black.
Civilization has advanced - this is no longer widely accepted - but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen in, say, Florida.
- harto 16y ago> have a similar name to someone who's committed a felony Really? How is that justified?
- JoachimSchipper 16y agoTo the best of my knowledge, not at all. See e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida_Central_Voter_File http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida_Central_Voter_File for details.
