Marc Lamont Hill: "Jika Anda melihat tes melek huruf di Selatan, misal...

"Jika Anda melihat tes melek huruf di Selatan, misalnya, itu sangat sulit dan tidak mengukur melek huruf. Mereka hanya mengukur apakah Anda berkulit hitam atau tidak. Jadi pada setiap saat ketika kita mengatakan, hei, kita tidak ingin orang-orang tertentu memilih karena mereka tidak cukup berpendidikan, itu seringkali hanya menjadi cara mengecualikan orang kulit hitam dan coklat."

If you look at literacy tests in the South, for example, they were absurdly difficult and didn't measure literacy. They were simply measuring whether or not you were black. So at every moment when we've said, hey, we don't want certain people to vote because they are not educated enough, it is often simply become a way of excluding black and brown people.
