Department of Justice claims blacks are incompetent

The DC: DOJ claims minorities cannot know candidates' party affiliation

At issue: The City of Kinston, NC voted to hold "non-partisan" elections by printing ballots that did not list the candidates' party affiliation. Personally, I'd prefer the party affiliation be included on the ballot. Heck, I'd like them to include the candidates's voting and arrest records too. Heh!:)

Anyway, the Department of Justice claims the party affiliation omission, hits minorities hardest, or something.

Under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act, the Justice Department must approve changes to election law in regions with a history, however distant, of racial discrimination.

The Justice Department prevented the 2008 referendum change, arguing in part that “the elimination of party affiliation on the ballot will likely reduce the ability of blacks to elect candidates of choice.”

First, Section 5 of the VRA is another piece of evidence that every piece of legislation should come with an expiration date.

I find it offensive that Barack Obama's Department of Justice, under the leadership of Eric Holder, has demonstrated such a dim view of black Americans. Sadly, it's not the first time.
