@japa21: Yes, apathy is a problem.
Yet I’d ask we not rabbit-hole into diversions. The main issue here is the decades-long effort to erase the gains the VRA and other acts put in place.
It’s important to keep in mind: the folx who come up with this stuff are willing to toss away a thousand White GOP votes if they can kill 10,000 Black Democratic votes along the way. They don’t care about anything other than collecting and maintaining power, while giving some masses the illusion of same and Race is a major tool for that, and we need to start addressing that directly.
