NEW: Two weeks ago, SCOTUS made a statement: the bloodshed of the civil rights movement can be discounted because it belongs to another era. Claims that we no longer need these protections ignore an underlying reality: laws like this are dismantled when they become inconvenient to people in power.

I learned in school that drugs were dropped in African Americans' neighborhoods to pollute and hurt their populations.Well, it actually has hurt every race and gender to date. A lesson to be learned, when one thinks it will only hurt the one it will eventually always hurt the many. 'isms' are alive.

Robertson actually said that America has solved the racism problem. Really? Are there 9 Black Justices on the SC? How many Black presidents have we had? The fact that Confederates REFUSE to remove statues of people like Lee proves the racism issue is ongoing. Or rename military bases.
