No, I agree with you.
I posted this yesterday on threads that this is the worst day, one of the worst days for black political power in American history.
America was not a democracy until the Voting Rights Act.
The Voting Rights Act is the thing that destroyed, that defeated, that tore down Jim Crow.
And to erase that sets us back at least 60 years.
But I recognize that this isn't the only, that we were building political power over time.
You recognize that the defeat of segregation was many years before that.
And so we're in a moment where they are rolling back not only our access to the ballot, but they have been systematically chipping away at our access to higher education, to our inclusion in the workforce.
And so this moment is, it should infuriate everyone who is interested in a multiracial democracy.
But I'll be honest with you, Don.
I am waiting for more people to be upset about this.
I've seen you talking about it.
I've seen other black folks talking about it.
Thank goodness The Times talked about it this morning on The Daily.
But I'm waiting to hear from a few more people who have been pretty quiet about this particular issue over the last 24 hours.
We are living in perilous times.
And I hate to be the person that sounds like I'm saying the sky is falling, but the sky is actually falling in America right now.
And it needs to be said.
It's over.
So there are a lot of people saying like, we got to get the John Lewis Voting Rights Act.
