Why do you think even after the 15th Amendment, the Black people - TopicsExpress



          

Why do you think even after the 15th Amendment, the Black people were still marching for voting rights in the 1960’s? If they were truly citizens and had a nationality, there would have been no problem. And if you think that the Voting Rights Act of 1965 gave Blacks the right to vote, think again. Congress keeps extending the Act for however long they feel. Bush just extended it for 25 years in 2006. So this means, it’s not a right, but a privilege that Congress is giving Blacks. What if Congress decides not to extend it anymore? Now think about this, if they can sign such a thing into law that easily, then don’t you think that with a few signatures they could make those same votes null and void. Now you may begin to understand how and why those Black votes that would’ve helped Gore win, were thrown out. Because those people were operating on granted privileges and not using their divine birth rights, their human, not civil rights. How can one have civil rights, but not human rights???
