Can you pass a 1960's Louisiana literacy test for black voters?...

[acemaster193]

I would've failed this for sure.

 

[miketysonthekiller]

This is so disrespectful.

A slap to the face just to vote

 

[DrizzyNYC]

The things the would do to deny black people their rights. Reason I still wouldn't move to the south....

 

[guzzy]

The rules alone got me slightly heated.

#29,smh.

 

[storm2006]

If I had to take that test, I would have passed and walked in on voting day like this

View media item 476496
And I would have wrote myself in on the ballot. No dambs would be given

This speaks more about lengths people go to cheat people out of something.

If you gotta cheat this hard, you just ain't good at the game...

 

[roc boy jada]

at giving them 10 minutes, with no exception of an error.


21 and 23.

Test was graded by Paula Deen...

...but pull up the voting literacy test for gay people so we can objectively compare.

 

[durantula]

I passed but it took like 20 minutes and a major headache lol

 

[dirtybuhbuhnew]

LOL look at this nonsense. Like what in the world is this mess? Nobody could pass it because some of the questions have no answers.

 

[throwback1718]

I kind of want to print this and try it

 

[moonman818]

LOL look at this nonsense. Like what in the world is this mess? Nobody could pass it because some of the questions have no answers.

Exactly...

At people in here saying they passed it...

Boom.

 

[bayyrd]

This is the test to join Da illuminati these days

 

[sfc415]

Most of these are pretty easy, but there's a few that you know the test writers put in just to @#$% people over to meet that "One wrong question=failure" requirement.

Like how is #12 even possible? Is it because I'm horrible at drawing or because it's just impossible?

Same with #28. Draw a curved line which is also straight at some point? the @#$%?

 

[sheistbugz]

lol they really printed the twice in question #25

 

[kingkoopa]

23! God damn!

 

[jayhood23]

 and here it goes

But slavery was a million years ago, why are black people still angry? Racism ended a while back so why are we talking about this?

I don't know which is worse, the overt racism of then or covert racism today. At least we had a known enemy at that time, now we get lulled to sleep and duped into defending racism.

Unfortunately racism still hasn't ended.

 

[aznlilrs]

I have no idea why we still trust our government if this used to be an accepted and enforced practice.

 

[moonman818]

I have no idea why we still trust our government if this used to be an accepted and enforced practice.

With parts of the voting rights act being thrown out, be prepared to see things like this resurface.

 

[jjs]

so many tricky questions

 

[mynameismyname]

Weren't some literacy test written in Chinese in some cases?

 

[thecoldest343]

With the new ruling handed down we will come to see that much hasn't changed when it comes to denying certain people their right to vote.Just watch what goes on again,especially in certain states when it's time to vote for our new president of the united states.You thought Bush pulled a fast one on us with the discrepancy in the state of Florida(he did),just watch and see goes on in places most of us never knew existed,thanks to our good ol government.

 

[sonoftony]

damn they really put that out?!

 

[stroshow]

So if my math is correct they're allowing just 20 seconds per question?  Completely ridiculous.

 

 

[cincoseisdos]

wow 2 3 4 5
