This morning, Glenn Beck and his staff were discussing the movie Selma, and where Billionaire Oprah Winfrey cannot vote because the Democrats controlling the post-Reconstruction South wanted blacks to be unable to vote for Republicans.
This points to my frustration that comes up a lot. “Selma” is a movie based on a script – it isn’t based on actual verifiable events. Jim Crow did exist, but is her portrayal of what the test was like actually representative or the real test?
Put away your pocket Constitution and give it a try.
Other than it not being multiple choice, it’s pretty similar to the test required to get US Citizenship. There is no question asking for the name of every district court judge.
Is having a valid state issued ID even in the same universe?
I get an 85. A bit trying on my memory I’m afraid.
I’m not sure if this was an open book test or not. If it was a “literacy” test and not a civics test, then the person should be allowed to have their pocket constitution open. A few questions were clumsily worded or too open ended. I assume the typos were transcription errors by the person who posted it online.
