I took Ryan's reply to be merely mocking the ignorance (and racist undertone) that only landowners should be given the right to vote. Since we're pointing fingers and all...

Its an interesting point to bring up. Given the historical context,
landowner-only-voting would conjur up a point in American history that
was segregated. That might make it racially sensitive, however,
outside of its century+ old baggage, I see nothing intrinsically
racist in landowner-only voting; SRP does this currently in its board
election, so you'd have to say they're racist and that anyone giving
them money is supporting racism.
