| Huffpoo Blog Suggests Taking Away White Men's Right to Vote |
| 2017-04-14 |
| [Free Beacon] A blog post published Thursday on the Huffington Post's South African version of the site advocated stripping white men of their right to vote. Shelley Garland is an activist and feminist completing a Master of Arts degree in philosophy and "working on ways to smash the patriarchy." "Could It Be Time to Deny White Men the Franchise?" she asked Thursday in the title of her blog post. "It is time to wrestle control of the world back from white males, and the first step will be a temporary restriction of the franchise to them," according to Garland. "If white men no longer had the vote, the progressive cause would be strengthened," she explained. "It would not be necessary to deny white men indefinitely‐the denial of the vote to white men for 20 years (just less than a generation) would go some way to seeing a decline in the influence of reactionary and neo-liberal ideology in the world." |

| #4 In South Africa this is a real possibility, another step in the devolution of the country and a sign for the white folk to sell out for what they can get and take themselves elsewhere. But when the same thing is written in America, it is click bait and wishful thinking. |

| #3 The sexism, racism and hatred have really been exposed for progressives. She should be careful who she pushes. Some men do not respond diplomatically to threats. |
