The shame of our nation.

[StephanAOTTO1]

The Black vote is VERY powerful.

If it wasn't, the Republican party wouldn't try to make sure that so many Blacks don't vote.

Get it?

hey vbullinger you are so right about that but there is a much much better video on you tube its broken up into 10 parts and the time duration of each is over 10 mins. its called fable enemies (9/11 investigative documentary. its very detailed and so much. they even have a part in the documentary that have actor james woods have to give a signed confession about something that have involing him at the airport during sept.11 its a very good documentary. you will thank me for it once you watch it

[unelmitchell]

well to a very slim degree. but its always going to be about race. because white is keeping the hate alive. you are half way right its about dolla dolla dolla. but its also about color color color as well so don't thing or write that off so fast because i am black and i see it all the time. money do have its play in it as well as politice. but its all about color in this country. look at the 2008 elections . the racism speaks for itself. your comment is old but u didn't know whats to come ?

[unelmitchell]

thats a very big urban myth that republicans a chirstians. and that self proclaim biblebelt is the most sinful place on earth. if they was christians why they have so many evil racist that surpost the reublicans in those states and say that they are christians. like always the republicans are hippocrites at everything they believe in . just because you surppost prolife dosen't make you a christian. the most evil things in this country have been done uner that republican party.

you think this is accusation this is truth

[Causa10bserver]

This video is nothing but more baseless accusation. I live in a primarily black neighborhood here in Ohio and remember quite well the length of the line for voting. I showed up at about 9:30am, walked in and was at a voting machine in less than 2 minutes. After about 5 minutes at the machine I turned around and the line was out the door. Polling places have rushes and lulls just like a fast food joint, dependent upon the time of day and schedules of those that vote. This video is sheer blarney.

This is an important documentary and an important issue. I'm not convinced that the long lines at inner city polling places is a suppression conspiracy by Republicans, however, it is a major problem that could easily be solved if we had the political will to do so. For many reasons, we need to have a coordinated national system that provides consistency and fairness. Making each community responsible for its own election means that the more affluent areas can provide more than less affluent.

I think this video is focused on Ohio and how machines seemed to have been removed 'African/American' populated areas in moved to other areas. Looks like it dives into other policies well.

I don't see how your perspective relates to this. Secondly, if Bob Ray in Toronto was the candidate you are referring to, the mention of 2 hour lines here is the first I heard about it. I agree that the Canadian election being stolen is nonsense, the points in this film on the other hand are not.

[Eastsideweezy]

Here is some presepctive

I ran and electral polling station here in Canada the gentelman running, his father was our former Preimer. And when the gentleman showed up due to a adress change He could not vote, for his own son!! not only that we had 2 hour lines as well. No am I to belive that here in Canada Steven Harper tyred to surpress the vote. Nonsense.
