- atoav 2y agoYou think it is unlikely that a famously problematic-in-terms-of-race state issued a problematic-in-terms-of-race literacy test? Or are that just the typical high standards of proof that coincidentally pop up whenever rightwing opinions receives legitimate criticism? Standards that they themselves never even remotely hold themselves to ("my sisters aunts dog heard on facebook")?

- WillPostForFood 2y agoWhat do you think a right wing position is? These were democrats writing literacy tests. Democrats were pro slavery, then pro jim crow. I imagine the right winge position is to support highlighting every real literacy test as a history the legacy of the democrat party.
