Thanks because I wanted to say that kind of because it should be like 90-100% ideally, yanno? but I also feel like I might have sounded really racist and don't want to like seem like I'm just changing goal posts or trying to continue being just a jerk.
That and imagine the political power they suddenly have if they do start to turn out at 85% while whites are still sitting at 55%.
Georgia is 33% black, 57% white.
Georgia's population is 11.3 million, 77.8% 18 and older is 8.79m.
At the rates in that chart that would be 1.07m black voters, 2.5m white.
85% black turnout would put them at 2.47m votes.
Maybe this year will be the year to turn out. I hope.
You're a good person, you know. Based solely on this thread, I can see that. 🫶
I was feeling very bad about myself, really thanks for saying that.
You're all good, you are totally overthinking it, trust me. Totally fine. ❤️
