Al Sharpton slammed the Black Ferguson residents on his show today. He said it's their fault that the local government is almost all White, because in 2012 there was a 54% turnout among Blacks for the Presidential election but the next year there was only a 6% turnout for the local elections.

I am anxious to to see the Ferguson utopia after this voter registration drive and the mayor, city council, and police chief are all black. It'll no doubt be a template for the entire country to follow.

To be fair white turnout was only 17%, having the elections in April has a lot to do with it-- that's just poor electoral design--unless of course you're in city government and you don't want people to vote.
