The Neo-Confederate Supreme Court Gearing Up to Restore White Rule Over America

[Lakhota]

By Robert Parry

GOP desperation over U.S. demographic changes has spread to the U.S. Supreme Court -- a majority is ready to tear up the most important part of the Voting Rights Act.

If white rule in the United States is to be restored and sustained, then an important first step will be the decision of the five Neo-Confederate justices on the U.S. Supreme Court to gut the Voting Rights Act, a move that many court analysts now consider likely.

The Court’s striking down Section Five of the Voting Rights Act will mean that jurisdictions with a history of racial discrimination in voting – mostly in the Old Confederacy – will be free to impose new obstacles to voting by African-Americans, Hispanics and other minorities without first having to submit the changes to a federal court.

Already, the Republicans’ aggressive gerrymandering of congressional districts has ensured a continued GOP majority in the U.S. House of Representatives although Democrats outpolled Republicans nationwide in Election 2012.This green light to renew Jim Crow laws also would come at a time when Republican legislatures and governors across the country are devising new strategies for diluting the value of votes from minorities and urban dwellers in order to protect GOP power, especially within the federal government.

Some GOP-controlled states, which also have tended to vote Democratic in presidential elections, are now considering apportioning presidential electors according to these gerrymandered districts to give Republican presidential candidates most of the electoral votes even if they lose the state.

The ironic thing is that your post is premised on the belief that racial minorities are inherently inferior to Whites in this country and therefore require unending preferential treatment in order to maintain a pretense of equality. I disagree with that premise.

 

[Crackerjaxon]

Why do liberals have a problem with equal protection under the law?

 

[hjmick]

A bogeyman in every shadow...

 

[Avorysuds]

The OP is your basic bigoted racist white progressive...

"All other races need my/our help! People are not people, they are defined by their skin color!!!!"

They counted on this when putting a near clueless Obama in front on the cameras, who knew a near entire party would vote for a person based purely on their skin color.... It sure as fuck was not based on Obama's policies.

 

[Avorysuds]

BTW the "Old Confederacy" is Democrats. How is it you always forget this?

Hence "Neo-Confederacy" in the title...

 

[Obamanation]

They really do want to see if the wagon can push the horse...

You would think that even the dullest of dim-wit libs could understand such a simple premise. Sad thing is that I think they do understand it but they would have to admit that their political doctrines are a farse --- so instead they make themselves race motivated, becoming the very thing they profess to detest....

It's a sad, sad set of circumstances.

 

[Flopper]

Carving up districts so large black and Latino populations have less voice in elections would certainly help GOP candidates.

BTW the "Old Confederacy" is Democrats. How is it you always forget this?

Hence the word "neo"...

 

[KnobbyWalsh]

The Supreme Court only makes symbolic social issue rulings now that they've entered the big money game like the rest of the politicians in Washingstan, DC. They only care about the bottom line - $$$$$$$$

Your party is the racist slave loving party. You love illegal’s because they work for near nothing, you tried to hold onto slavery and caused a civil war... You prove on these boards everyday you care more about the skin color of the people involved than the actual issue at hand.


Your fucking title is racist, get over yourself. You're not clever, you’re a dying breed of politically inferior lemmings. You hate Republicans for the same policies you would lay someone else life on the line to protect under a Democrat President. You're sub-human, you're meaningless, you are a bottom feeder whose sole purpose in debate is to latch on to gullible people fears, exploit their lack of knowledge of history and current day issues, then Troll the rest. You do not exists outside of the internet because people would reject you by the masses.

You simply take the place of other failed trolls on these forums as they becomes nothing more than sideshow jokes, like TM, RW, Blacklable, franhasHPV, Shaman, Dante, Chris and so on. You have no answers, only blind hate and inconstant blame.

Man, these Collectivist Liberals never give up on racism, group inferiority, and race victimization.

Oh, how true! I still can't get over all those faces of color I seen at the Republican National Convention back in the summer! What an eclectic group with a "huge tent!"

If you seriously don't know - you REALLY need to do some relevant research.

To quote Christian Slater from broken arrow your mind has taken a walk off the map.

I'm not a Republican, I'm not here to defend that shitty progressive party. But all you got with Obama was Bush III. They sold you on the color of his skin as shown by how much you care about just that, the array of color at a convention. You were sold a black man because the DNC understands for people like you, skin color or gender trumps policy.
