Save that bullshit for those stupid enough to not know that the confederates were conservative whites from the southern confederate states and most of todays racists are the same,conservative whites from the southern confederate states and they love their confederate heros.

I dont,which is why I see that Trump,his supporters and conservatives still love the confederacy.I also see that the most racists are currently the same people they have always been,white conservatives from the southern confederate states.
Explain how this is not happening
Now the Democrats are creating Jim Crow 2.0. A system where one race gets priorities in the public sphere ( this time its not the Whites)
shocking how cons have been ruling using unfounded fears for decades right?
Indeed.White victimhood is real to them.

Its called EQUITY...meaning equal outcome not equal opportunity.....If school tests score are not the same it is not because of study efforts it is because of bias in the test..
From the end of the Jim Crow era until very recently, the law has required that the government treat people equally regardless of their race. The major exception to that has been affirmative action programs, but the courts have limited such programs to specific circumstances and have barred quotas and exclusions of any sort. There has obviously been governmental discrimination against minorities, but that is illegal, even if it is hard to completely stop in practice.
Recently though, the word “equity” has been replacing “equality,” from the words of President Joe Biden down through lower levels of government. Equity means that to fight systemic racism, discrimination against privileged groups such as whites is not only acceptable but desirable. As America’s most oft cited critical race theorist, Ibram X. Kendi (whose work is now widely assigned in schools and higher education), puts it, “The only remedy to racist discrimination is antiracist discrimination. The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination.”
What does this mean in practice? As three recent examples show, it means that government should sometimes exclude whites on account of their race. One relatively minor example of this occurred when the Wellesley Public School district in Massachusetts apparently excluded white students from a “healing space” after the March shootings that killed eight people including six Asian Americans. The email announcing the event read: “*Note: This is a safe space for our Asian/Asian-American and Students of Color, *not* for students who identify only as White.”
A more major issue is Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s exclusion of white (and probably Asian American) reporters from one-on-one interviews during the anniversary of her inauguration. On May 19th, she wrote a signed letter with the first sentence: “By now you should have heard the news that on the occasion of the two-year anniversary of my inauguration as Mayor of this great City, I will be exclusively providing interviews with people of color.”
Relax Merc.I know Tugger and the rest of conservative media has poisoned your brain to think blacks and browns will take over the country and enslave whites but thats not going to happen.
uh.... numbnuts... the law has required equal protection under the laws since the Constitution in 1780s... but that didnt apply to women... or slaves.... then slavery ended and it didnt apply to Blacks or Japanese or Chinese.... then Jim Crow ended and it still didnt apply to many minorities even after Congress had to pass laws in the 60s to codify what was already in existence under the Constitution....
Dont act all high and might that the law suddenly requires people to treated people equally when for the first 200 years of our country's founding it was never true at all. Now all of a suddent you are clutching your pearls over equal treatment?
Not from the end of Jim Crow... .SINCE THE FUCKING CONSTITUTION WAS RATIFIED but it has taken those in power until the 1960s to even recognize that even a 5th and 14th Amendment was not enough and Civil Rights Acts had to be passed and then we are still facing discrimination in housing, employment and certain opportunities.
We will stop looking at race when you and your ilk stop first...
