minus-squarejjjalljs@ttrpg.networklinkfedilinkarrow-up3·4 months ago I mean the Jim crow literacy test thing was used against voters. These are people that are supposed to govern. I kinda draw a distinction there. If we had any sort of “you must pass this test to be an elected official”, it would without a doubt be used against minorities. I would love to have that kind of test, but I don’t know how to have one that wouldn’t be corrupted.
