Ah, man.

NPR dude just choked me up.

Interviewer, "Wait, that bears repeating."

"19% of African American voters were first-time voters."

The second time he said it, his voice cracked, and tears just started spilling out of my eyes.

I wonder, is it - First, suffrage. Later, a sense of responsibility and ownership. - ?

It seems to me, based on the above statistic, that women got there first, even though racial suffrage preceded sexual suffrage by 50 years.

sex, sentimental girl, politics, race
