Reading Time: 7 minutes Like most conspiracy theories, until you read the facts, it all seems too crazy to be true.

It sounds as preposterous as the government poisoning black people in St. Louis with big fans. The U.S. vote suppression scheme seems as crazy as a four-decade medical experiment on black Alabama farmers. Saying that North Carolina Republicans prevent black people from voting is almost as ludicrous as announcing that the state had a Department of Eugenics to prevent black babies from being born, which is to say …

We can’t sit this one out because it’s inconvenient – and depending on who you are or where you live it might be very inconvenient.
