Whoa. I Need To Study-Up.
Y’all, I could not vote in Louisiana. Even if I wanted to. Which I don’t.
The state of Louisanna had a Literacy Test for African Americans in the 1960’s.
… the test consisted of 30 ambiguous questions to be answered in 10 minutes. One wrong answer, and the test-taker was denied the right to vote.
Just recently, the same literacy test was also administered to Harvard students — students who can, if anything, ace a standardized test — and not one passed.
Now I have to tell you something, I have some not-terribly-bright-but-very-white relatives who crossed the Sabine River into Louisiana and it immediately raised the collective IQ of both states. They were, as Aunt Shirley said, so dumb “that they couldn’t pour pee out of a boot with the instructions written on the bottom.”
You can see the whole test here.
Check this out …
I have never in my life met a politician who was worth that much effort.
Thanks to Don for the heads up.
