U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is trending on Twitter after making an insidious comment related to voting rights, in which he implied African Americans are not Americans.
After a vote to move the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to the Senate floor failed Wednesday, McConnell was asked by a reporter about concerns among voters of color.
"Well the concern is misplaced, because if you look at the statistics, African American voters are voting in just as high a percentage as Americans," McConnell responded.
A 19-second clip of the exchange was posted to Twitter late Wednesday and has been viewed nearly 1 million times.

It's kind of par for the course in partisan politics. One person says something wrong or misspeaks and the other side jumps on it, then the offending side points out what the other side has said previously.
I believe what McConnel was clearly trying to say is that black voters have voted at the same percentage, or higher, as other racial groups in the country. Now it's possible attempted suppression can be occurring while they are still voting at a higher percentage. However trying to proclaim Jim Crow Part 2 when the data shows black people voting at the rate they are has a lot less credibility.
how better to differentiate african americans from americans ?
negros chose that term.

African Americans are a subset of Americans.
he pointed out how a subset vote at the same rate as the whole - which destroys the narrative that the subset are not getting a fair shot to vote

And yet when the supreme court rescinded the voting rights act, the southern cracka states made a stampede to change their voting laws
Designed to enforce the voting rights guaranteed by the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution, the Act sought to secure the right to vote for racial minorities throughout the country, especially in the South.

GOP-backed proposals to restrict voting are steadily gaining traction across the Sun Belt, aiming to slow the effects of ongoing demographic shifts that favor Democrats.
