Granny, being depressed is being oppressed 24/7. I am too old to be out there now. I don't even know if I will be alive by the election of Romney.
Thinking about the many marches made during the 60's with MLK and lives lost and the persistent efforts made to free us from Jim Crow has only deepened my depression. There was so much tribulations during MLK's time and what do we have to show for it? Nothing.
It's not that black folks aren't fighting, it's the "good" white folks who would rather lose than stand with black folks. Remember the 2000 election protest, when not one white Senator, or Congressman would join with the CBC to protest Florida?

@ Granny
Jim Crow never went away...it's just clearly hidden. Whites have always wanted to oppress us and self segregrate...but since it's unlawful, they find new and inventive ways to do it.

I agree with you and have observed that practically all my life.

Some of them don't want to be ostracized by their community, so they just go along with the program. I wonder how they deal with their conscience. It gotta be hard sleeping at night.
You got it wrong Granny, it's not voter suppression, it's voter fraud suppression.
Everytime someone uses a dead person's name to vote, or a non-citizen votes, it disenfranchises a legitimate voter by cancelling out their vote.
The Obama administration is trying to stop states from preventing voter fraud. Imagine that.
