I know I'm going to regret asking this, but why?
Voter intimidation. In the video, Fox says the Black Panther is in a semi-military stance or something.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
So do I intimidate black people when I hold doors open for them? WTFF?
Fear of the other. And the the irony is that Other is part of brOtherhood. Stupid xenophobia.
People are deeply stupid.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I was standing at my polling place -- we are in the richyrich district, but our house is in the not-rich but average hood-- and every damn person there was white. A black man walked in finally and I wanted to kiss him.
Damn, I love my neighborhood. I was one of only 2 or 3 white voters at my polling place.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
So he's intimidating them by being black I see. I notice he's not following them inside, or asking to see their ID or reminding them of the dangers of being jailed for in-person voter fraud. WTF is happening to our country?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
sometimes I wonder if I am seriously misreading conservatives
hard to misread when they make racist statements and have fun theories about rape and procreation.
I don't necessarily ascribe personality characteristics like selfishness to conservatives, but the racist, sexist statements (and the ones about the 47%) are shit they own.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
When did politeness become intimidation?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
when a Black person is polite.

Dude. I thought you were joking about the door-holding. Lordy.
I appear to be choosing my City Treasurer based on the candidates' favorite books. Masters of Rome vs the Bible.
I have no idea what Masters of Rome is, but the title makes it sound kinda scary. Why the hell do people have to list their favorite book?! I mean, I can't pick just one, and also it starts to get weird, when you're picking a book to pander vs an actual favorite. Like, Miss America style. (I think in general I might have to go with "A Brother's Price" by Wen Spencer. It's a romance, fantasy, adventure, and feminism, all rolled into one! Hits all my faves!)

I'm sorry I wasn't.
Anyway, when white people complain about the Black Panthers being at polling places, I assume this is where that came from.
