As Predicted, Democrats Using Ferguson Riots To Register Voters

[Lakhota]

Ferguson, Missouri, is a majority-black city governed mostly by whites. The mayor is white. The police chief is white. The police force is 94 percent white. Only one of its six city council members is black. These facts, as much as anything, have shaped the protests over the police shooting of Michael Brown. Ferguson, with a 67 percent black population, is a place where the largest community has little political voice.

Ferguson Missouri government Why is it so white

Michael Brown has forever changed the politics of Ferguson, Missouri. I applaud blacks for trying to register more black voters. All Americans should applaud them.

Yup, they'll be another Detroit overnight.

Translation: Blacks can't govern themselves; only whitey knows what's best for them.

The only way that is what he said is if you are saying that blacks ruling Detroit is what has turned it into a shit hole.

Is that what you are saying Lakhota? Black rule has ruined Detroit?

As Predicted, Democrats Using Ferguson Riots To Register Voters

The premise of this thread fails as a post hoc fallacy, as there is no evidence that those registering to vote are registering as democrats – that's a hateful, ignorant, and unfounded inference by the OP.


Indeed, only a conservative would be hostile to citizens seeking to exercise the fundamental right to vote.


Citizens have the First Amendment right to petition the government for a redress of grievances, whether conservatives approve of that grievance or not.

 

[Quadravius]

What is wrong with registering more Black voters? People in the Republican Party clearly have an issue with it. They'd just assume get the water hoses out....

Excuses like this are why we need to separate. There will be no reconciling.

City council is an elected position.
Mayor is an elected position.
D.A. is an elected position.

Negroes don't want white cops to patrol in their "neighborhoods. White cops are too "racist".

They want white prosecutors replaced by "blacks" to handle cases that include them. White prosecutors are too "racist".

They don't want white judges to hear cases that have "black" defendants. White judges are too "racist"

They don't want white legislators representing their districts. White legislators are too "racist".
They've rejected white leadership, laws and values en masse ...they want everyone in any official capacity to be "black".

They don't want to work for white people because they are held back in promotions and salaries....White employers are too "racist".

They don't want their children taught by white teachers. White teachers are too "racist".

Anyone who says they have never heard negroes complain about white teachers, white legislators, white judges, white employers,....etc...being too racist, is a liar. They make sure we hear abut it every day.
Negroes have complained about "white racists" holding them back for 300 years.

Negroes think all their business should only be handled by other negroes because white people are too racist.
Well, I agree..

Let them have a black nation. Set aside an area and evacuate the taxpayers and let the blacks run their new africa however they want.

No interference at all from us evil, murderous, racist, bigoted, redneck, biased, intolerant, xenophobic, prejudiced, hateful, discriminatory, savage, whites.

No more racial friction.

You'd think they'd jump at the chance to get away from us since we're so evil.

Western civilization, which blacks cannot create nor sustain when left to their own devices, has eroded away in Detroit yet people continue to ignore the genetic realities behind Detroit's demise.

Republicans can do the same. Why the whining?

Repubs don't register rioters and looters at the scene and they don't register cemetary residents.

Can you provide the names of the rioters who got registered to vote during this effort?

Sure. The Registration list. Does anyone think the shooting and the riots prompted people to say, "Dammit, this shit makes me mad enough to want to vote." Thank the two Godly Reverends.

You have the registration list? However did you manage to get a hold of that?

No, the Liberal pukes have it. But it should be a public record.

Then you should have no problem naming all the rioters who registered to vote, right? I assume you've already done this since you made the claim, because doing so without any evidence would be rather dishonest of you, right?

do you really think it's unreasonable to assume that some of the people who registered to vote were involved in the rioting?

 

[NYcarbineer]

Black people want to vote?!

There ought to be a law.....

 

[Rozman]

How come Republicans don't want people to vote?

Vote,don't vote.Don't vote,don't bitch.
Come on and vote.
Just make sure you have your Voter ID card.

The attempt to galvanize voting comes against a backdrop of intense political struggles over the ballot in the state. In 2000, polls were kept open late in St. Louis because of long lines, and Republicans complained about possible voter fraud — one chapter in what would be a long battle over elections and voting.

Republican lawmakers, who dominate the Missouri legislature, have repeatedly pushed for a measure requiring photo identification for voters at polling places, saying it is needed to combat fraud. Democrats have called those efforts an attempt to discourage minority voters. A 2006 voter ID law was overturned by the State Supreme Court for violating the State Constitution. The latest measure stalled in the State Senate this year.

Local factors in Ferguson complicate matters, too, including a relatively transient population and the timing of municipal elections — held in the spring instead of November, when presidential or congressional elections drive much higher turnout. On the first day of Ms. Hagens’s registration drive, she said, she helped 28 people fill out forms to vote, but five people who approached her to sign up said they were felons and might not be eligible.

Continue reading the main story
Over the last 25 years, the population of Ferguson, now about 21,000, has shifted from nearly three-quarters white to mostly black. Even so, five of the six City Council members are white, as is Mayor James W. Knowles III. Mr. Knowles, who once led the St. Louis Young Republicans, won a second term in April with just 1,314 votes from among the city’s more than 12,000 registered voters. No one ran against him.

Ask people along the streets here why they choose not to vote and they answer, mostly, with shrugs. Voter turnout has been far higher in presidential elections, and some had not even realized there was a mayoral race last spring. “You don’t really see the candidates or even anything about them until a week or two before the election, and even then it’s not much,” said Alyce Herndon, 49, who has voted but, like many here, said she had not had cause to attend Council meetings.

David C. Kimball, a political scientist at the University of Missouri-St. Louis who has studied voting patterns in the county that includes Ferguson, said some other suburbs that became black majority communities earlier than Ferguson, such as nearby Dellwood, have since begun electing black leaders. “There is often a lag time,” he said, noting that Ferguson’s black population was only slightly higher than half the total as recently as 2000.

There are small indications, Mr. Kimball suggested, that black voters in Ferguson had begun to exert at least some political muscle even before Mr. Brown’s death. In a school board election for a district that includes Ferguson residents, three black candidates ran this year, after the removal of a popular black school superintendent. Only one of the three won a seat, but Mr. Kimball said he viewed the campaign as a modest sign of shifting.

Among some Republicans, the mounting political efforts have provoked tension. Told of the voter-registration booth that had appeared near a memorial for Mr. Brown, Matt Wills, the executive director of the state Republican Party, voiced outrage in an interview with Breitbart News. “If that’s not fanning the political flames, I don’t know what is,” Mr. Wills was quoted as saying. “I think it’s not only disgusting but completely inappropriate.” http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/31/us/getting-ferguson-majority-to-show-its-clout-at-polls.html?_r=0

[Irony Alert]

And I'm sure the petition agents are going to be out and about, and in strength, in the areas where senior citizens will go to cash their SS/SSDI or other monthly checks and where the poor go to cash their welfare checks (i.e. the check cashing places) to get their petitions filled as quickly as possible.

[/Irony Alert]

Clue to Liberals: That means these people will be required to show some kind of photo I.D. to cash their checks.

Which means Voter I.D. requirements would be less harmful to any and all involved than the lack of confidence caused by allowing elections to materially corrupted by fraud. Fraud which Voter ID laws could help eliminate.

 

[jknowgood]

According to my State Rep Bill Lint, only 6 people were arrested from Ferguson from looting and rioting...the rest were from out of state..
What is dismal is that repubs are outraged, instead of registering voters, showing their disconnect from the potential voters...

Yeah, if I was the republican representative running there. I would let them know that it was democrat leaders that got the people that destroyed their town to come.
