“Whatever we call it—Jim Crow 2.0, the John Roberts Jim Crow Era, or the John Crow Era—no person in America is more responsible for the return to the Jim Crow Era than John Roberts. The resurrection of the post-Civil War Jim Crow brand of racism is the crowning achievement of John Roberts’ life work—and we should make him wear it as a badge of shame for the rest of his days. He should understand that centuries hence, he will be remembered as the legal architect of the virulent racism that saw a rebirth as white Christian nationalism, which then shape-shifted into the MAGA movement under Donald Trump.”
The wrongheaded belief that racial discrimination is a thing of the past – it is not.
And the wrongheaded belief that measures enacted to counter racial discrimination are no longer needed, anachronisms of the past.
The truth is that racism, bigotry, and hate are alive and well today; the damage caused by Jim Crow, black codes, and segregation remain; and that Republicans are now free to disenfranchise voters of color for political gain is a manifestation of the racism and hate that exists today.
