Minority votes should be weighted heavier in elections. Nearly 60% of the US population are white which means they control the fate of minorities. Less than 15% are Black. I’m not saying the Black votes should be 4x heavier but it should be more equitable

So does that mean Gen Zs votes should carry more weight than Baby boomers because there’s less of them? What about people with disabilities? Should gay people have a higher weight than those who are straight? There are minorities everywhere in the US, it’s not limited to race. Making one vote value more than the other seems to bring us backward not forward.

no person is worth more than anyone else, therefore our opinions should be weighted the same

So when white people become a minority you’re going to give them more power than the nonwhite majority?

In theory if they became an oppressed minority then yes. But that would never happen

How else do you propose solving the years of systemic racism. Nothing else has worked. There needs to be a radical new approach

Because Race is not the sole determining factor of prosperity in this country. This system by class would be a much more powerful idea

This is truth. However both is a great option as well. The black panthers are a great example of the success of combining an understanding of intersectional oppression with the shared root of capitalism
