WHEN WHITES REPEATEDLY POST BLACK CRIME STATS

On every social media site in every comment section under every fight video (particularly when race is involved), & CCTV robbery. You will see someone who has posted the statistic that 'blacks commit 60% of all violent crime despite being only 13% of the population."

Or you'll see this post... Black men, are just 6% of the US Population, but commit HALF of all murders (FBI homicide data)

If not that exact post, then something very similar.

Usually posted by a white male with conservative views.

Felony disenfranchisement disproportionately strips the right to vote from Black Americans, directly diluting their political power and representation. Nationally, about 1 in 22 Black adults is disenfranchised due to a felony conviction.

This rate is more than three times higher than that of non-Black Americans, and in several states, upwards of 10% to 15% of the Black voting-age population is barred from the ballot box. source

Historical and Structural Context Felony disenfranchisement laws trace their roots back to the post-Civil War era.

Southern lawmakers specifically designed these laws alongside targeted criminal codes to circumvent the 15th Amendment and prevent newly enfranchised Black men from voting.

Today, this legacy persists because racial disparities in the criminal justice system mean Black individuals are arrested and incarcerated at vastly disproportionate rates. source

Impact on Black Communities the disenfranchisement of formerly and currently incarcerated Black people extends far beyond the individuals who lose their…

Jim Clark (Dallas County, Alabama)Serving as sheriff of Dallas County from 1955 to 1967, Clark became a primary symbol of segregationist brutality during the Civil Rights Movement.

He routinely deputized white citizens, who acted as an unchecked, violent mob against peaceful Black activists and voting rights demonstrators. His infamous use of state troopers, billy clubs, cattle prods, and tear gas against marchers on the Edmund Pettus Bridge during "Bloody Sunday" prompted national outcry and ultimately helped pass the Voting Rights Act.

Willis V. McCall (Lake County, Florida) Serving for nearly three decades (1944–1972), McCall presided over a well-documented regime of terror against Black Floridians. He weaponized his office to suppress political participation, regularly brutalized prisoners, and was notorious for the "Groveland Four" case, in which he coerced false confessions from young Black men through severe torture, resulting in wrongful convictions and the extrajudicial murder of one of the suspects by…

Countering the Supreme Court’s aggressive rulings on the Voting Rights Act (such as the landmark Louisiana v. Callais decision) requires aggressive legislative, structural, and localized action. With federal protections severely weakened, the most effective solutions rely on state-level legislation and structural reform. source

Recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions have weakened parts of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, especially protections used to challenge voting maps that reduce Black voting power. The rulings mainly affect redistricting and how courts review claims of racial discrimination in elections. source

The main counters to the ruling are political, legal, and organizational rather than immediate court-based fixes.

Even with those changes, African American voters still have many practical ways to protect and strengthen their voting access.
