I think instead of “Jim Crow” laws we now need to speak of “John Roberts” laws

States like Mississippi and Tennessee are acting swiftly to destroy majority black districts immediately after this ruling. And we’re told it’s not racism.

You know how Republicans call everything “socialist” even when the policy is billionaire-friendly garbage?
The same lesson applies here. Y+ people are **equally terrified** of Huey P. Newton and Hakeem Jeffries. Since you’re getting the same hostility either way, why not support actual progressives like Nina Turner and Cornell West? Playing nice with respectability-politicking garbage like Kamala Harris or James Clyburn gets you nowhere anyway.
You have nothing to lose but your chains

I think Jim Crow 2.0 is very appropriate. It should trend in every circle. The conservative justices didn’t care enough when they made this ruling, but they should have their names stained for it. They might get pissed off over it, but if they didn’t want to be shamed, they could’ve just done the right thing.

SCOTUS has basically disenfranchised black voters so MAGA wouldn’t feel bad

One day I hope we can stop having to answer the “is racism good actually” question in this damned country. It’s very annoying that this topic, which was unequivocally answered half a century ago, is STILL being played as “unsolved” by the federal parties. For once I wish we would stop engaging with this shit and tell the Republicans that if they really think the voting rights act should be repealed, they are unserious people that shouldn’t be considered as valid votes. Why do we keep allowing racists, openly racist ones at that, to have the presidency? For democracy? First off, no, the paradox of intolerance isn’t a paradox, disenfranchisement of the intolerant is pro-democratic, and second off, it hasn’t protected democracy anyway!
Like, at this point, if you seriously believe that this gutting is justified, I don’t think you should be allowed to vote. This question was already, clearly answered by our society. We cannot make things better in this country if every 2 years we have to reaffirm that yes, racism is bad, rape is the fault of the rapist, and women are also humans. We all know this court is illegitimate, this is a waste of time.

Should have been an amendment not an act.

The answer to many of our society’s problems, which is becoming harder and harder to ignore, is that conservatives need to be completely politically disenfranchised forever. They are not fit to hold political power at all. It is wrong for them to want what they want for the country.
