A Simple Test for Proving Systemic Racism

“All citizens of America of voting age can always vote in America and never have their right to vote stripped away will on American soil under any conditions.”

Sign this petition to prove you are not systemically racist.

It’s right now a fictive petition but can be easily made. That’s one of the two simple tests to prove you are not systemically racist. This Constitutional amendment should be easy to pass, right? Maybe you can have a statewide amendment first as trial run, though I prefer to go straight for the full Constitutional Amendment.

Don’t add to it. Keep it simple and don’t include caveats, as states and further state laws and judicial decisions. This will clearly let every American citizen know they have the right to vote, and it can’t be taken away.

Or alienated. It is an unalienable right. If a government, local, state, or federal, takes away your right, then they are preventing representative democracy. Such prevention means they are deciding on some arbitrary rule to decide who and who cannot vote. This makes them anti-democracy and anti-American.
