You should at least be able to read what you are voting for.
Not sure what that has to do with skin color, Robbie?

It’s not just black voters, it’s all americans, how in the heck did obummer ever get reelected??? my black friends don’t even like him anymore.I think it’s funny because they were so happy when he got elected the first time, they were running around calling the white house the black house, but their not to happy now.

The ones that are happy ( black or white ) are the ones that are sitting on their backsides with their hand stuck out, laughing at the poor working slobs who are feeding them.

I assure you it’s not remotely near “all americans”

Scalia wants to suppress black votes because they vote democratic. Scalia’s true concern is less about “racial entitlement” than it is about making sure his fellow Republicans are entitled. Entitled, that is, to manipulate elections when they can no longer win fair and square.

An article printed just after the 2012 election …
Over 93 percent of African-Americans voted for Obama this year, as well as 73 percent of Asian-Americans and 71 percent of Latinos.
Latinos voters in particular were a problem for Romney, and the Republicans, as their share of the electorate continues to grow, and they were crucial in winning important swing states for Obama, like Nevada, Colorado and Florida, and are the main reason New Mexico is now a solidly Democratic state.
Older voters went for Romney, and the younger the voter, the more likely they were to vote for Obama. Voters 40 and over favored Romney, and those 39 and under favored Obama
Contrary to Republican predictions, turnout among young voters was actually slightly higher this year than in 2008, as was African-American turnout.

Typical Lefty/Gimmie. The Supreme Court hasn’t taken anything away from anyone. Simply stating that preferences shouldn’t be given to anyone either is what started the Liberals hyperventilating.

Since when is ensuring that, given the deep souths history of voter supression, is the need for those states to have a federal judicial review of changes to voter laws prior to implementation a “preferrence”? This last election has prima facia evidence that those same states tried to purge voter rolls of legitimate voters just prior to the election and those voters were nearly all in the Democratic column. This prevention of a fascist coup, not a “preference”.

What does “racial entitlement” mean? In general and particularly concerning voting rights? What exactly is the problem?

Seriously?
A black man has obtained the highest office in the land.
There are black men and women mayors of major cities now covered by the VRA.
Remember the 14th Amendment: “…equal protection under the law.”
It is now time to decide.
Do I want and get special treatment due to race?
OR
Do I move forward, stand on my own and step out of the shadow of protectionism. If I clinging to the Voting Rights Act I will never be allowed “equal protection under the law.”
As long as there is protectionism, quotas, set-asides and the VRA, then someone will always be suspicion that I did not make it on merit alone, I got special treatment.

What we need is an IQ/current affairs test for ALL voters. There is way too much “stupid” running around loose. If you are stupid & uninformed, you should not be voting, period!

Special treatment to vote? That I don’t understand.

@coraryan
That would guarantee the demise of the Republican party.
