Black people need to start getting aware of the democrats reasoning. Pure democracy does not help ethnic minorities at all.

We have a lot of programs in law today, like affirmative action, that can give minorities more representation than strict population counts would allow. Also, laws guarantee rights for minorities against the majority.

If we move to a pure democracy, ethnic minorities are one vote away from losing all representation and rights.

Look at South Africa 's land grabs for an example of pure democracy in action.

In a pure democracy half the vote plus one has enormous impact. What happens when one side decides to censor, imprison, or persecute a minority group, because the minority group can’t get a majority to vote with them.
