Ta-Nehisi Coates tears the sheet off the Republican gut-out-the-vote efforts:
These were cloaked under a colorblind argument–“We don’t discriminate against black people, we discriminate against people who can’t read the Constitution.” By “read the Constitution,” they meant “recite the Bill of Rights by heart.” And they’d ask you to do this after reducing your school funding to a pittance. I say this to point that this is not a “new” racism. This is how it scheme went before the Civil Rights movement, and this is how the scheme works today.
