I'm not being flippant here - but I descend from Black Americans who survived Jim Crow . . .

IF allowed to remain in the USA - I envision some sort of badge, id, tag . . . to ensure there are two Americas.

When you put it where the goats can get it - my dad was a decorated Military Officer/Green Beret in 1964. He was home on leave - and and his father was afraid for him to vote. My Granddaddy, Uncles, Etc.Etc. went and voted - but they always carried guns to the polls so never had problems in Talladega (land owners, S & L, multiple businesses, etc. etc.)

My Grandmas was 68 before she voted - because at that time the VRA had passed.

I *think* perhaps it looks like that. Instead of Race based - a Jim Crow Esquire for people who pay taxes, but like MANY Black Americans prior to 1964 - did not have the full rights of citizenship. That would include having your day in court and/or a jury of your peers.
