You only make a "mistake" like that if you're used to speaking of Black people as not being real Americans.
therealpyroman
not really. In this context, it's referring to the American average, but it can be interpreted in both ways.

Whilst very funny, it is truly terrifying there are "people" like this and worst of all? They have the constitutional right to be armed.

And the system is built to give their votes more clout. A Wyoming voter is worth 76 Californians, despite being an inbred fuck nugget.

Awe…you are being to hard on old Mitch. He’s not a racist. He just doesn’t want them. Opting because they are dEmOcRats. It’s just politics!

Ok. While the racism is quite obvious, let's take a step aside and note that he never said the bill wouldn't affect POC, but that they're
Already voting in the same percentage numbers as [white] Americans, which means they should absolutely be worried this bill will hinder them

Which is not true: https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2021/04/record-high-turnout-in-2020-general-election.html
Only when you compare black Americans to the average he might be correct. But that comparison is moot and totally irrelevant.

Freudian slip of a guy that grew up approving of segregation, protested the end of it, and only relationship with minorities is his wife.
StagBullSwitch
While I agree this guy is an ass, comparing the black vote to the entire whole vote would legitimately use this wording. >
It only becomes racist if you assume the second "Americans" means "white Americans," rather than "all Americans." It probably does, though.

If we are going into semantics, you started it, then he still excludes them from Americans. Classic Freudian slip your selfreport.

Which should be called out. Because that comparison is a moot argument to use in opposition to this bill.
ontarioOT
This isn't the only inkling that he might be a racist - we're not pulling this out of thin air FFS.
Yeah cause they don't understand that roughly 20% of Americans have an even lower voter participation. But that gets ignored in the black vs
white discussions.
PoopSammich
Hands down he is one of the biggest threats to America
MarshmallowFluffernutterPie
Yeah we get it, he doesn't think black people are Americans. Probably doesn't even think they're people.
EricPisch
He thinks they are property
He might just compare black (american) voter participation to all (american) voter participation. Still a moot argument to oppose the bill.
He probably thinks they're about 3/5ths of a person.

Racism aside, he’s not taking into account that it is much more difficult for voters of color to vote specifically because his party has
