I must agree with you. That is why I said earlier that SCOTUS was to far right for my taste. Affirmative Action was relevant when it was made law and is still relevant even today.
Yeah this court is trying to pretend like it is a good time to end all the tools we as a society have developed to combat 220 years of devastation to these communities. And it is not.
In my opinion racism and bigotry is on the rise in this country. I am truly afraid of what this country will look like after we are gone. I have 5 grandchildren that are American Indian and black and I worry about them on a daily basis in this racial climate we have today.
I agree that bigotry has slid out from under the rock it was hiding from, but I am not so sure it is actually a bigger problem than before. We are still better than at any other point in not so near history (percentage of actual racism as a number of people and degree of it).
I would rather be your kids today than ever before in American history man. It might not seem like it, because of the extremely powerful amplifier of everything horrible that the internet is bringing to us 24/7, and school shootings, and the radicalized domestic terrorists being triggered by the very sophisticated attack being conducted on us to the benefit of the Republican Party. God, what was I saying.. Oh yeah.
But it is still far better than it was as recently as the 90's. And this is not to say it is not bad in those rare instances that it becomes more than just the good old purse clutch, you are right to keep you and your families' heads on swivels.
God, and all these idiots with guns thinking they are bringing the revolution.
lol never-mind man, sometimes worrying is the right thing to do. But I still have hope, even if the Republicans win some chambers in this election, if they screw us by dragging down our economy by shutting down the government (again), they will pay in 2024. So we shall see.
