Poll Taxes

We don't have Medgar Evers any longer.
We don't have Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
We don't have Malcolm X.
So what are we going to do? Our causes, the legacies we had hoped to leave our children, are the aging orphans of the uplift of our own 1 to 3%.
What many sophisticates have decided is this: 'Just go ahead and pay the poll tax. Quit yer whinin'!
I guess the prevailing wisdom of the race disdainers is that if  'you people' want to vote, you will go
ahead and 'show your papers'.
So if the poll taxes take a different shape, and get requested in even more stealthy ways, and grow to
larger and larger amounts of an individual's monthly income, does that mean we should still go ahead and pay, or we don't care about our vote?
I can see how mockery could lead someone to that view. What? Isn't it OK to call out mockery when
it's noticed? I think that should be OK.
I think if we have to wage generations of war and dissent to claim a 500 year old birthright, maybe
we need to think in terms of different papers. Passports are nice. I hear Burkina Faso is nice any time
of the year.
