Jim Crow 2.0
No Republican is going to see how magnanimous Kirsten Sinema is. They are just going to play with the hundreds of state changes favoring Republicans and Whites now that no federal law is going to help Blacks ensure equality. Thanks, Justice Roberts, for ruining the 1965 Voting Rights Act so that persons of color yet again yet another time are put in the pillory and brutalized as they were in the late 19th and early 20th centuries with voting requirements such as the grandfather clause, literacy tests, segregation laws, or any other impediment Blacks could not overcome. Jim Crow is alive and well in 21st Century 2022 America. Oh yes, include this in the Critical Race Theory manual because it is designed to do the same things as reflected in the American South in the 1870s and beyond.
The vote is the only vehicle Blacks would be able to use to gain justice and now, even that, is compromised yet again to favor this time the US dwindling population of Whites. Do you realize how much time and energy Whites have expended to gerrymander everything? Answer: LOTS. And so, yet again, in 2022 persons of color still have to fight for those things that should be rightfully theirs and which Whites take for granted. In this era of Jim Crow 2.0 count me on the side of those trying to secure the arc of a moral universe as this white is on their side. I am sure I will not march alone.
If I were Black how angry and dispirited would I be? Answer: VERY!!
