Part Two. Dr. Olson said in his book to abolish the white citizen means to close and end every disparity in every sphere by “race.” That, to Dr. Olson, would mean the white citizen isn’t significant. This is about the privilege in the category. He believed if you end the power in the category, you end the category. I agree with him. I would add the recommendation by Dr. Theodore Johnson to count votes by Black voters at five-thirds per person at 167% per vote, for a period of time, as a symbolic inversion of the three-fifths clause. Dr. Johnson has projections on how that would’ve changed recent elections. Besides that, I think America should equalize votes by “race,” regardless of population. That’s how the Senate works, for better or worse, equal votes regardless of population. That would be weighted voting. And that would acknowledge that population numbers are corrupt from white policies, white immigration laws, and white terrorism. Another way Olson measured the end of the white citizen is by participation in the democracy by people who aren’t white. So, when the white citizen is gone, democracy/citizenship will be expand. Let me know if this makes sense.
