The one SC justice is anti-affirmative action. That will definitely be in danger if the court continues to swing. You're not concerned with that? Or you don't believe in it, like Clarence Thomas? The Voting Rights Act is a black issue as well.
Also, I resent the notion that Environmental issues and women's reproductive rights aren't black issues. They aren't exclusively black issues, but they absolutely have a tremendous impact on black lives.
You’re not wrong that she’s a liberal although I might disagree with your approach to dealing with white supremacy among liberals.
The article’s tone that it had revealed a bombshell in her donating to Democrats, strikes me as odd. What would have been a big revelation is if Central Park Karen had been a Trump supporter. A VP on Wall Street in New York In 2020 is assumed to be a Democrat.
How do we deal with the fact purveyors of finance capitalism and white supremacy feel so comfortable in the Democratic Party? You’d probably say it’s Republican. I’d say riot but stop at a polling place and vote for Dems in the general, vote for the leftmost primary candidate and then keep rioting.
Well-intentioned take as you sit on SC, to the detriment of millions of blacks.I am actually not anti-affirmative action. But I do understand Thomas' perspective. A well-intentioned terrible take.
The ruling was unexpected, as Kennedy sided with the majority even after being critical of Affirmative Action in the past. They also left it open for future attacks. I wholeheartedly disagree with this.I don't think that affirmative action, generally, is in jeopardy in a meaningful way. The Supreme Court was right-leaning under Obama but that didn't happen.
I 100% agree with this, and think that this discussion should be amplified, but don't really see the relevance here.But we can have a discussion about how minority-focused programs tend to have fewer Black Americans than other minorities.
Last point, you vote for people who generally are trying to tear down Voting Rights Act and a part that is against Affirmative Action. Be serious.And Congress can go a good way to ensure that. SCOTUS only interprets the law, after all.

To your first question, I don't think the supreme court will roll back civil rights measures related to black people.
I sense you asked the second question because I think that you know that the issues that most people have with the conservative Supreme Court picks is not about black issues.
The one black supreme court justice is conservative, after all.
So we acknowledge that you've made the shift from issues pertaining to Black Americans, despite that being my focus, to other issues.
As it relates to immigration, the prior administration deported more people than any other administration. And the prior administration was a democratic one.
You listed three initiatives that began under Obama that Trump passed.Your logic would suggest that something like the First Step Act, Fair Chance Act and record funding to HBCUs wouldn't pass.
The reality is that under this administration those things that were thought not to be able to pass under Republican leadership are actually getting passed because congressional leaders are afraid of Trump's base.
So, maybe, generally you are right. But I have to disagree that it won't be different under this administration. But we will see.

What pro-black agendas have republicans introduced and championed under Trump?
Do you not think a conservative supreme court majority negatively affects Blacks the most in America? "You sense I asked the second question because I know that the issues that most people have with the conservative Supreme Court picks is not about black issues." What? Who's the one moving the conversation and paraphrasing here?
What does the one black supreme court justice being conservative have to do with anything? Does that in some way change the point that conservative justices are bad for Black Americans? Is Clarence Thomas existing on the court somehow positive for Black Americans?
How did I shift from issues pertaining to Black Americans
Blacks can't be immigrants? Is total deportations the only immigration issue? EDIT are there not other issues the supreme court has in its sights that will have a major impact on blacks?

To whether or not affirmative action is in danger. I told you that I agree that it's a discussion that needs to be amplified. Descendants of slaves absolutely need to be the primary benefactor of initiatives such as this, in my opinion.How is a discussion about which minority groups get selected for minority programs irrelevant to an affirmative action discussion?

So you have no answer.It isn't about that for me. It is about the ability to get the measures passed.
I don't care who champions it. Or who introduced what. I care that it passed.
And, it passed under this administration. And there is no reason to believe similar additional measures won't get passed if he is elected for a second term.
So you have no answer.
You don't care who champions them, so you care ignore it is the Dems who mainly do.
I applaud the Dems for championing the measures.
And I applaud the measures getting passed under this administration.
dwalk31 tryna use the power of the Civility Gauntlet to deflect, but the Allegedly Stones are missing. Outchea like...
Your *** still gonna vote GOP down ticket.
If republicans aren't introducing the bills, and do not intend to because they never have, how will they pass?It isn't about that for me. It is about the ability to get the measures passed.

GOP is so broad.
You do realize that members of the GOP supported the prison reform legislation, right?
