CNN’s Errol Louis: ‘The Very Right to Vote Is Now Currently Under Attack’

‘We should never underestimate how hard it is to try and bring up history to talk about the framework of things and to make that the explanation for much needed legislation’

EXCERPT:
 

LOUIS: “And so for President Obama, as he said in the interview, you can’t talk about race without having a certain percentage, and sometimes a very important large percentage of people simply shut down. They don’t want to hear it. They don’t want to talk about it. They all attribute every malevolent attempt they can dream up with the help of some bad actors bad-faith actors and the whole project starts to spiral down the drain. So it is a very, very difficult conversation. I think we should never underestimate how hard it is to try and bring up history, to talk about the framework of things, and to make that the explanation for much needed legislation. Because just as you say, the very right to vote is now currently under attack."
