Is It Racist to Use Blacks as an Excuse?

 This controversy over the new voter laws in Georgia brings something to mind. I've long wondered why it is so much more difficult for minorities, especially those of Black African descent, to vote. I mean for most of America, votes are counted usually by late evening on voting day while in Black districts it can take days or even weeks to count the vote. And we are all supposed to just accept this difference because we're racist somehow if we don't. So I keep asking myself, "Why don't they just fix the problems?" I mean, the problem can't be that Black people are just numb. That's a racist attitude that Blacks are so numb it takes ten times as long or a hundred times as long to count their votes. I certainly don't believe that racist lie. Why not fix the problems so Black votes can be counted as quickly and easily as everyone else's votes?

Isn't it far more likely that if those who control and manipulate elections do their dirty work in Black districts any suspicions of cheating can be called "racist"? So hey, wanna do some cheating this election cycle? Let's just use Black African neighborhoods for cover.

How is that not racist? Pass fair voting laws and close that racist loophole.

But no, can't do that. Apparently it's racist to believe that Blacks and Whites are equal and should be treated as equals.

Now I suppose I could look at this cheating from another angle. I could say it's Blacks that have the most to gain if Democrats cheat to win elections so why not let these Dems use Black neighborhoods and Black populations for their cheating? But how is that not racist? How is it not racist to use Black populations to justify cheating? Unless, of course, Black populations are just to dumb to understand or to care. That must be how Dems see it. But how is that not racist?
