Clown topic of the year :)

Thread title: Literacy Test Louisiana Gave To Black Voters

First words in the literacy test: This is given to anyone.

OP would have hard times in 1964 Louisiana...

:rofl:


"The literacy test—supposedly applicable to both white and black prospective voters who couldn’t prove a certain level of education but in actuality disproportionately administered to black voters—was a classic example of one of these barriers."

It was clearly directed toward them, cu next year btw.

it means draw a circle around the number 1.

"draw a line around" must have been how they said "circle" back in the 1960s.

its really not hard to understand do you actually struggle with this? are you ESL?

In 1964, Duke University constitutional law professor William Van Alstyne asked 96 professors who taught the Constitution in one way or another to take the tests as they were practiced in Alabama, the result shows a failure rate for 70% of questions, therefore eliminating them all. He thus proves that the questions were intentionally written to confuse the reader, to put him in check to prevent him from registering. Of all the states, Louisiana has written the most discriminatory tests where the absurd rubs shoulders with complexity.

If you had your fifth grade it wasn't required to pass this test. And now guess which part of the population....

let me lay down some tistuff wisdom for ya boi

a smart person can see his/her own failings and know they are not 'smart. so they tend to shy away from positions of authority

the dummy doesnt see his own failings so he tends to think he is smart and wants to be boss all the time...............
