  EXPOSING THE PLUTOCRACY, CORPORATOCRACY, KLEPTOCRACY & OLIGARCHY WE LIVE IN... UNDERSTAND THERE IS A SYSTEM WORKING AGAINST YOU!

Do you know what Shelby County v. Holder (2013) is?!

Following the American Civil War, former Confederate states passed onerous voting requirements in an attempt to prevent black residents from voting. 

The Reconstruction government passed the Fifteenth Amendment in an attempt to ensure full black democratic participation in the South, but Southern states essentially ignored it and continued to prevent black voters from participating in elections. Citing the Fifteenth Amendment as authority, Congress passed the Voting Rights Act of 1965. 

In addition to including general restrictions on discriminatory state election laws, the Voting Rights Act included the more controversial sections 4 and 5, requiring that states with a history of racially discriminatory voting laws "preclear" any new voting restrictions with the U.S. Department of Justice or a three-judge panel of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Following the election of President Barack Obama in 2008, Republican leaders in Southern states began to take more aggressive measures to suppress black and Latino voter participation. 

"Let me be honest with you," explained Texas Tea Party leader Ken Emanuelson, that "the Republican Party doesn't want black people to vote if they're going to vote 9-to-1 for Democrats." 

This has taken the form of racially discriminatory redistricting proposals, arbitrary voter ID requirements, geographically selective early voting laws, artificial voting delays, voter caging, and voter purge "errors." 

Because Voting Rights Act review blocked many of these laws, some Republican legislators have begun to openly call for repeal of the entire Voting Rights Act. 

While the Supreme Court has never seriously considered this proposal, Chief Justice John Roberts has suggested, since 2009, that he might be willing to repeal preclearance requirements.

In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Shelby County by striking down section 4(b) of the Voting Rights Act, but left section 5 intact. 

This leaves the preclearance requirement in place, but unenforceable until Congress approves a new formula by which it can be enforced.

As a practical matter, section 5 has been suspended indefinitely because there is no formula by which it can be enforced until Congress approves revisions to section 4—which is unlikely to happen within the near future, given the current influence of the Tea Party within the U.S. House of Representatives. 

This means that Southern states no longer have to preclear voting restrictions, and the effect was immediate: both Mississippi and Texas enacted controversial voter ID laws within 24 hours of the ruling.

THESE CHANGES TO THE VOTING SYSTEM IS AN EFFORT TO SUSTAIN INSTITUTIONALIZED RACISM IN A SYSTEM OF WHITE SUPREMACY!

THEY USE RELIGION, MONEY, SKIN COLOR AND CLASSISM TO KEEP US DIVIDED... KNOWING THAT IF WE LEARN THE TRUTH AND COME TOGETHER AS EARTHLING'S WE CAN STOP THIS CONTROLLING BIG BROTHER SOCIETY BEFORE IT GETS WORSE!

You hear the invaders say God Bless America... HOW ABOUT GOD BLESS THE PLANET?!

ONE PLANET, ONE PEOPLE (EARTHLING'S) and ONE ❤️

Great info. Although I'm not American I live in a country with similar political system divided by Conservatives and Liberals. Although my views lean more conservative than liberal, I've never voted conservative for the mere fact that white conservatives don't hide their racism the same as liberals do. We're all just spinning our wheels until we realize that the pursuit of Ethics is the most civilized human pursuit.

I would like to request for help to be assisted for the sake of my mother's health. She is sick with chronic Asmatic condition which makes her life difficult with prolonged cough. We wish to request for help to relocate her from our rular areas which is very cold and difficult for her to survive. All the triggers of her condition are present in that area. Helping her out to relocate will be the number one help. Thankyou in advance for your kind gesture towards a sick mother.

"Emancipated From Mental Slavery: Selected Sayings of Marcus Garvey"

Those words are commonly associated with Bob Marley. As well known as those lyrics from Redemption Song" are, what is not as well known is the source. Marcus Garvey was a journalist, editor, publisher, as well as founder, and President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA.) This book serves as an introduction to the philosophy which made his ideas known worldwide. Notable among them is the phrase which has come to many sung as a paraphrased lyric, by Bob Marley. Its power and compelling urge for a new mental state among the human race can not seriously be denied: "We are going to emancipate ourselves from mental slavery, for though others may free the body, none but ourselves can free the mind." Those are the words which Marcus Garvey spoke in November 1937. The place? Menelik Hall in Sydney, Nova Scotia. This selection of sayings of the Honorable Marcus Mosiah Garvey, provides an introduction to the mind of the man capable of speaking words which continue to have a profound impact to this day.
