You know what's dumb? Pulling a "black-owned" racial card every time there is anything happening, even if the rules have nothing to do with race.

What's dumb is not comprehending the wider impact.

You may recognize Tennessee from such hits as "Tennessee legislature expels 2 Black representatives".

Is there an implication that because a state did something likely racist that a federal agency is motivated by the same racism? Are there white station owners with felonies?
Rules can have a higher impact to some races vs other races. Like this rule affect blacks more since they only make up 13% of the population but make up 34% of felons out there.
