Every Four Years

We in the black community should celebrate Medgar Evers day at least once every four years.
At least once every four years we should consider getting home late on a day when the wife and
kids are waiting up, getting into the driveway safely, getting out of the car, and getting shot in
the back by a bullet that will land in the refrigerator we will never see again, fired by a man who will be then treated like a celebrity in his unlocked jail cell ... because we publicly advocated for black people to be able to vote.
Get out the vote on a Medgar Evers Day should be at least as big as Halloween. Parents and children should go to neighbors with flyers, and get a bit of candy at every house.
Well, of course people of all races should have this practice, because the right to vote is the right
to vote.
For people who had never effectively had it, of course the right was paramount.
But for the average American to see 'special' groups trying to find ways to take votes away, well that is even more insidious if such a thing as 'more insidious' is possible.
There should be No precedent in a representative democracy, which establishes a legitimate
mechanism for Taking votes. Taking is a disgusting new attempt by right wing groups, Disgusting.
