On last night’s The Weekend: Primetime on MS NOW, legal analyst and law professor Paul Butler delivered an astonishing assessment of the Supreme Court’s recent decision on the Voting Rights Act.
Analogizing it to the Dred Scott decision, Butler made the absurd claim:
“It’s like the Dred Scott decision, where the Court said that the black man has no rights that the white man is bound to respect. The Supreme Court is saying that the black voter and the brown voter has [sic] no rights that it respects.”

No. It says Blacks are just like any other citizens. Look at all the Republicans in Democrat controlled states that have no representation in Congress. I never heard anybody cry about that.
That’s such BS it’s not even worth a response.
I think people like this Paul Butler idiot should pack up and leave America since there’s no “black rights” being respected.
Good point.
It’s clear now Steele’s job during his reign as head of the RNC, was to smooth the path to Obama’s coronation.
Wrong. They have the same rights as everyone else. No longer any special protected voting rights.
This also proves once you give a demographic special rights and privileges, they will never want them to go away when they aren’t needed anymore. They will claim they are needed forever. Perpetual victimhood and perpetual victim privileges.
Nor is it 1865 either.
“Hey, it’s not racists...”
“racist”
A single narrative (“systemic racism against all non-Whites”) lets speakers claim to speak for a unified oppressed mass instead of competing subgroups with clashing interests. Black politicians and commentators gain amplified moral authority: they are no longer “just” the voice of 13 % of the country; they become indispensable leaders of the “BIPOC” or “minority” coalition. Liberal agitators and NGOs gain the same: larger marches, bigger donor checks, more academic papers, and more corporate HR trainings. The frame also flattens intra-minority tensions (Black–Hispanic competition in cities, differing views on immigration, higher Asian/Indian/Nigerian achievement) so they do not undermine the story. This crap needs to be called out. I think Hispanics are tired of letting these agitated power seeking blacks to roll them up into their bipoc narrative.
Take note of our enemy!
There. I fixed it.
And my argument would be: Al Green, Jasmine Crockett, Maxine Waters, Sheila Jackson, et al.
How do these types get through law school and pass the bar?!
May not be to hard some prisoners become lawyers.
No, it says that there are no special privileges associated with not being white. No more favoritism.
Does Paul Meyer have ANY self-awareness? This DEI nitwit embraces discrimination against others to advance his racism. What an pathetic putz.
