response 2 gerrymandering: Students march 7 miles on freeway

For the Prairie View A&M University precincts, Texas Republicans put the early-polling place more than seven miles from the school.

So what did the students in this video do? They shut down the highway as they marched seven miles to cast their votes on the first day of early voting.

Video of the 1st voter after that 7 mile march.

Ahhhh me alma mater! PV used to be such a quaint little country university.....PV is a middle of no-where, historically black university, not many republicans there-if they had put the polling place on campus, then you'd have a clusterfuck of traffic on campus(not to mention, you'd have fun with all those white folks who had never been there before, trying to find their way around the place)-this goes both ways for an amicable convenient location-(I can think of 100 better causes to march on the highway for) silly white people-you shouldn't have stuck the black folk's U in the country ya, cake and eat it too crackers!!

Another shot in the foot for PV s the amount of punk-ass, gang-banger type crime in Waller county, which has increased steadily since about 1990-bout the time smooth R&B was replaced by gangster-rap as the predominant music of choice-watched it like a bad fekkin' dream-

Gerrymandering is a despicable practice but is done by both parties, all the time. Trying to pin it on just one party is like putting out only half a fire.

Blacks founded the Republican Party of Texas and it was Republicans who ended slavery. So who exactly is keeping Blacks down? Probably the folks telling Blacks they are still slaves (rhymes with temocrat).

An "Historically Black" university complaining of racism? Go ahead and let that one sink in.

PV is a case study for anyone interested in the dynamics of this post-qm has the correct vibe here-though to chose sides with regards to party affiliation at this stage in the game, is more diversion-take a class in world history, past 200 years, and get a grippage....Politics is what happens when a parrot swallows a wristwatch-

... in this case, completely warranted. they are protesting specific acts.
by specific Republicans, as outlined in the description.
and hinted at further in my notes above. i'd be happy to spell it out for you.

why not sift a clip of specific Democrats, doing it? if true, and relevant, i'll ^vote.
but you blow this off, just because the ones doing it are 'on your team'?

> ...it was Republicans who ended slavery.

yeah, so we've heard.
whenever the words 'black' and 'Republican' are used in the same sentence.

the kneejerk 'party of Lincoln' response. useless high school crap.
skipping 100 years of constant change, in all American political parties, since then.

you can't find a more recent example, of your party's equal rights leadership?
fuck, i'm a Libertarian, and i can list Republicans in Congress that qualify!

ooh! how many guesses do i get? is it the same party that has a black guy running?

> An "Historically Black" university complaining of racism? Go ahead and let that one sink in.

by all means,please do. let that one sink in.

were most "historically black" universities founded, due to their desire, to remain segregated?
were blacks being invited to attend "historically white" universities?
and then refusing to attend??


great odin's beard, shroom. honestly.

why do you think i've invited smart conservatives, that i've met, to this site?
you represent them so poorly. and you refuse to learn, from anyone else.
