Could It Be Time To Deny White Men The Franchise?
Huffington Post ^ | April 13, 2017 | Shelley Garland

Some of the biggest blows to the progressive cause in the past year have often been due to the votes of white men. If white men were not allowed to vote, it is unlikely that the United Kingdom would be leaving the European Union, it is unlikely that Donald Trump would now be the President of the United States, and it is unlikely that the Democratic Alliance would now be governing four of South Africa's biggest cities.

If white men no longer had the vote, the progressive cause would be strengthened. It would not be necessary to deny white men indefinitely – the denial of the vote to white men for 20 years (just less than a generation) would go some way to seeing a decline in the influence of reactionary and neo-liberal ideology in the world. The influence of reckless white males were one of the primary reasons that led to the Great Recession which began in 2008. This would also strike a blow against toxic white masculinity, one that is long needed.

For about half the US’s history, you had to own property to vote. Not just ‘be’. Need to get back to that, or at least restrict voters to those paying net taxes. Net drain on society? No vote.

I’ll be happy to cede my right to vote, as soon as you stop taxing me. Given that I pay about $50k/year federal, $20k/year FICA counting match, $15-20k state taxes, and around $10k in local/property taxes, I think that would be a fairly good deal for me.

She is a South African...

An SJW to the core.

More evidence for the notion that Progressivism, like Islam, is an obviously false egotistic religion which seeks to spread itself by force. The evidence that both are regressive and harmful when they do spread is already ubiquitous.

If white men are denied the ballot box, white men will help themselves to the bullet box until there are no more non-white men.

As HuffPo stupidities go, this one is a banner of buffoonery.

And if we denied women the vote, we would end the welfare state, obamacare, welfare, snap, and everything else that was passed with the idea of the the government actively taking care of its citizens rather than protecting an environment where they could rise or fall on their own ability or lack thereof.

IOW, the author is my polar opposite.

Completely agree.

If you take any welfare you don’t get to vote for 20 years from the date of last use. That is corporate, farm or personal welfare.

Glad she came out and said what they really think.

This is the real agenda in a country founded originally by white men for white men (that’s what “free association” meant).

She means to end the nation. The fact that the 14th Amendment extended the national franchise to AllMen didn’t mollify them.

What they can’t make, they plan to take.

So this is the war folks. That’s what they want.

My wife agrees. Women should not be allowed to vote.

With all due regard to the intelligent, educated, logical, and articulate women on this forum.
