It was once (not so long ago) law that black men had 3/5ths the voting rights of white men, and women were not allowed to vote at all.

So what you're saying is:

"Please pity blacks and women because they aren't really people and by voting they are breaking the law, and when they get lynched for it, they are only suffering the lawful consequences for their actions."

Right?

It's seriously not worth it. He's made it quite clear that he is in support of the current system. If he supports the current system he's got to believe that what the politicians and elite are doing is "lawful" and "just fine". He'll receive his wake-up call when the realization dawns on him that TPTB will not stop at screwing over his neighbor who is "breaking the law". They will soon take to screwing him as well in their endless crusade of greed shielded by our government.

" First they came for the communists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.

Then they came for me
and there was no one left to speak out for me."

I suspect that will ring true for him at some point in the future, it will just take him somewhat longer, he's clinging to the comfort of a broken system rather than engaging in protest to change things for the greater good.

Also he is a hypocrit, he said this about 10 pages back :

unlawful protest and violence is the only way. There are no peaceable ways to achieve change.
