Breaking news: SCOTUS gets rid of federal requirements of the Voting Rights Act

[Domingo Halliburton]

Basically states that have a history of racial discrimination have to send there redistricting plans and changes to voting laws to the Justice Department for clearance before they can move ahead with it. They don't need that clearance anymore.

no. that's not true. the clearance part still stands. the formula to determine which states are "racist" is not allowed to stand anymore. congress can pass another formula but with this congress it probably won't happen.

I wonder what landmark Civil Right legislation the Court is going to overturn next? Brown v Board of Education? Loving v Virginia?

We are considered 'refugee's which is why this VRA keeps being ratified every 25 years.

 

[Scustin Trillberlake]

Why is the board so racist? Race is a social construct, stop being so racist.

We all come from Africa, brehs.

Why is Clarence the way he is?

Because they pay him to be that way.

Looks in the mirror and hates what himself....thinks these opinions will make him less black

 

[Domingo Halliburton]

the basic question you have to ask yourself with this case is are southern states more racist than northern states?

So, there are only one or two ways to be black, is that it? Why should Clarence be compelled to vote the way you want him to vote on an issue.

What does this have to do with Southern States with a legacy of discriminatory voting practices being empowered by this decision?

Clarence is a vulture, feeding on the flesh of his own people.

I'm not sure how you gathered that from what I wrote that I believe blacks are only one way....but I'll entertain you. Thomas has mad many statements on blacks and their group allegiances to reliance on gov, consistent votes for the left. etc...If anything HE thinks all black ppl are one way... and HE is trying to distinguish himself from that group. That was what I was trying to say maybe I did so inarticulately
