If only these young people could go back in time.To see how the power structures, in this case Louisiana, truly hated some of their own citizens.These same hated citizens Who by the way were also taxpayers and consumers. I was there as a child. The opposition to Blacks exercising their right to vote was ferocious.I remember the hateful stares as late as 1968 when joining relatives at the polling site. If looks could kill it would have been Genocide. It shook me to the core."Papa,six of our relatives fought in WW2.Four in Korea. Seven are fighting in Vietnam including you and Harold(my older brother).Why? How do you ask for us to fight and die for something that they refuse to give to us?"My father said, "Son you have to bring cards to the table to fight to achieve the dream. It shows that we have more love for this country because we believe in what it can stand for. For all its people. That is a true Patriot".

The point of the test is that there are multiple questions to most answers, and yet only one was arbitrarily accepted as correct for each. It is a Everything on the test designed to be completely arbitrary, and the purpose was for the election officials (any by proxy the ruling government and political elite) to have selective disenfranchisement based upon race, religion, ethnicity or economic/social status. You are guaranteed to fail if those "grading" your test want you to fail. Even if you were to somehow manage to write down literally every singly possible answer that could be considered correct, they would remind you that at the start of the test there sits the line "Do what you are told to do in each statement, nothing more, nothing less." What you just did would be qualified as violating the "nothing more" aspect, and you would fail. There is no winning. There was never any "passing" this test, and anyone saying they "passed" does not understand the purpose. There is only selectively being allowed to pass based upon viciously arbitrary grading.

I am guessing that the grading of the tests was arbitrary and enough chosen at random were allowed to "pass" so that it did not look like the test was completely unpassable. But the number always was too low to make a difference in an election. Surely copies of this test got into the hands of federal officials or was that even prevented?

It is not like the federal government didn't know this was going on. the issues was getting people into high level state offices or federal offices that were ideologically committed to true universal suffrage that they would prevent these kinds of tests.......which you did by voting them in.......which the test made nion impossible without significant assistance from voters outside the oppressed demographics or incredible social pressure from demonstrations.

Now imagine if you are expected to take a test, even one as irrational as this one, BUT you are only required to get ONE question right, any one of the thirty, and it doesn't matter if all other questions are right or wrong or even left blank, and furthermore you can even provide multiple answers to a given problem and it is enough that any of them be right. Beyond all of that, you have three months to take the test instead of the measly ten minutes, can take it in study groups, and readily find free information to prepare you for these questions. AND it applies equally to all persons regardless of color or any other criteria whatsoever. Every voter ID law enacted in every state is fully that generous and then some. Each citizen is entitled to exactly ONE vote, not 10 or 100.

@supportive_comment Жыл бұрын

For anyone who says they passed, you are wrong. Some of the questions are phrased to allow for two answers to allow the grader to choose. For instance, "write backward forward" the answer could be write the word backword, forward, or write backward the word forward. If you had done one, i could choose the other interpretation as my answer. So no, you did not pass this test.

@@cdorman11 If my history understanding is correct, it was not a universal test, it was basically a challenge. If the person at the polls figured you were not voting for the side they supported (Read you were not white as the obvious tell here) they would challenge you saying you need to "Prove" your literacy in order to vote. This way they could prevent what they doubtless view as "Undesirables" from voting while allowing their supporters to vote unchallenged.

As such they wanted to find a way to disqualify black voters from voting. Not a surprise. The Democrats created the KKK as well as writing the Jim Crow laws..

In the comments, I see a number of people claim to have taken this test and got it 100% right. How do they know? Did someone have an official answer key, so their work could be graded?

@mmlvx Жыл бұрын

As far as I'm aware, no official answer key existed. Several of the questions are phrased ambiguously, such that there reasonably is not one correct answer, but rather at least two possible correct answers. I feel certain this was done deliberately, so that no matter what response a (black) voter applicant gave, the (white) examiner could say that the applicant had failed. And I'd bet a month's pay that the examiners were not required to tell the applicants which questions had been scored as wrong, nor what the "correct" answer should have been. It'd be more like, "Oh, so close! Better luck next time."

This test was specifically designed to be failed, to prevent Black people from voting. The wording is deliberately convoluted, confusing, and ambiguous, so that the administrators could claim that the test-taker misunderstood the question and got it wrong. The ambiguity means there's no actual right answer, it was all up to the whims of the administrators.
