The US has become a post-participatory-electorate republic.

“Today, we can walk down the street and share the sidewalks and Blacks don’t have to give way to Whites,” Arnwine said.

Oh, they can do more than that. They can attack them and beat them to a bloody pulp, and be told "that's okay, it's just a culture difference."

What a bunch of...garbage premises.

“IN 1963, when the CRA was introduced and being debated in Congress, America was a country still steeped in segregation. It was still legal to refuse to serve Blacks, Latinos, Native Americans, and Asians at restaurants and in hotels … to deny people transit on private transportation … to deny women access to certain jobs.”

In other words...property rights and freedom of speech were still protected rights in 1963.

“That Act absolutely transformed America,”

It did and not for the better.

In other words, most true discrimination (which was a legacy of Dixiecrat Democrat policies, btw) is gone but we are going to continue to chase ghosts and twist legitimate policies — like needing an ID to vote — into the return of Jim Crow to support the Democratic Party and keep our paychecks coming.

Both Ifill and Arnwine said the bill will only gain momentum if Americans all over the nation speak up. “The Congress needs to hear from us – the Black, Hispanic and Native-American communities that are affected by these laws – and from White Americans who are embarrassed and distressed that legislators are engaging in explicit efforts to keep certain people from [illegally] voting,” Ifill said.

I think they omitted a word.

The reason “civil rights” legislation isn’t advancing is because everyone can see that it’s hollow, that the goal isn’t to eliminate inequality but to perpetuate a community of victims who can prey on greater society.

The movement has lost its soul, and with it, its moral weight. It’s devolved into nothing more than a godless morass of self-service. And the whole world knows it.

In my opinion, it’s whites who need a civil rights movement these days, the right to appear in public and not be beaten and punched because of their color. But there are too many whites who either consider themselves immune, or are masochists.
