Geez, next you're going to tell me welfare reform is racist eventhough there's more white people on welfare.

I'd recommend reading the rest of my post that completely shuts down your argument. 

"So there are 156,000,000 eligible white voters and 3.5 million white people who cannot vote. Meanwhile there are 27,000,000 eligible black voters and 3.2 million black people who cannot vote.

At this point, it is NOT inconsequential. 2.19% of White people who are old enough to vote cannot while 10.6% of black people who are old enough to vote cannot. If we play the partisan numbers, that's 4.5m non GOP voters lost and only 2.08m GOP voters loss for a net gain of 2.42m voters."


There are 125 million more white voters and yet there are nearly identical numbers of disenfranchised black and white people.
