And if you want to know deep down who is behind the effort, it's this man:
Edward Blum is a neocon who tried to run for Congress in the 1980s. He started campaigning door-to-door and felt there were too many Black people in his district and thus he had no chance to win. When he lost the race he sued the state of Texas for letting Black folk have too much power with these majority-Black congressional districts, and the case went to the Supreme Court, with the 5 Republican-appointed justices ruling in his favor.
That victory led him to devote the rest of his life to attacking Black folk. He builds research to prove "misuse" of civil rights laws and "inappropriate" examples of multiculturalism. He's instigated numerous lawsuits to destroy the Voting Rights Act, with the most successful being Shelby County vs. Holder, where the conservative majority eviscerated the Voting Rights Act and allowed all the bullshyt we've seen in the last three elections.
He's also instigated numerous lawsuits to end Affirmative Action. When he lost his first few lawsuits with White defendants, he switched it up and began using Asian-American defendants as sock-puppets, believing that gave him better optics and a stronger case.
Officially it was Asian-American groups who asked the Department of Justice to investigate, but Edward Blum was making it happen behind the scenes. His lifelong focus on fukking life over for Black folk is straight evil.
