He’s a real peach. Check out this post he made a little while ago:

> [@McDonald's Restaurant Rest Rooms - AIIIEEE! The FILTH!](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mcdonalds-restaurant-rest-rooms-aiiieee-the-filth/548550/41):

> I avoid most “mickey dees” because most are staffed with minorities (in the SOuth anyway) and MacDonalds have just about gone completely pro-black. I don’t know if they even want white business anymore. For a while…all of their commercials were shown to be “in the hood” with rap music and calling themselves…“Mickey Dees”.  
> Then..they have a website called ‘black 365’ which talks about catering to the black community. Look it up. WHy don’t they have one called "white 365’?  
> MacDonalds is usually a Mac-ghetto.

Charming.

Why? Who gets to decide which of us is “fit” to vote? Who says which of us is smart enough?

NO.

I don’t trust ANYONE enough to decide who gets to vote. Because I guarantee you, they will swing it and “select” according to what they want.

One other thing. Voting is not some “privilege” to be arbitrarily given and taken away. It’s supposedly a duty.
