Raphael Warnock, Democrat Senator from Georgia, on SCOTUS’
dismantling of the Voting Rights Act:
“The Voting Rights Act of 1965 is the crown jewel of the
Civil Rights movement. Without it, I quite literally would not be standing here
today in front of you as a voice in the United States Senate for the people of
Georgia. This [Cankles] Supreme Court just threw out the protections that were
earned by the Civil Rights movement, those who bled, who fought and who died,
so that people might have a voice.”
Okay, for those of you who don’t think we need a Voting
Rights Act any longer in America I have one simple question to ask you:
Would you want to be Black in America today? Or treated like a Black American? Given all we
know about the way people of color are still treated in the United States,
would you want to be Black?
And that’s why we need the Voting Rights Act, why we need to
elect Democrats, why we need term limits on the court, why we need equality for
all Americans.

SCOTUS serves the racists now.
ReplyDeleteThe voting rights act is allowing the MAGAts to rig the elections they know they’ll lose. It’s very simple. Cankles attack on the pope is on brand but seriously!
XOXO
I don't doubt that the Supreme Court's decision was grounded on pure racism. I also suspect that, like so many racists, they believe that vast numbers of white Americans are just like them. That belief is so incredibly wrong, but then conservatives themselves are inherently flawed and broken people.
ReplyDeleteKnowing that their lilly-white asses are going to be the minority scares the absolute shit out of them, BECAUSE they are very much aware of how people of color are treated. Thus, they will do everything in their power to remain the Overseers.
ReplyDeleteThis SCOTUS majority and its dismantling of American democracy will live in infamy. As a lawyer, it disgusts me.
