#Aparthied is liked and is ok.

But when the religious nuts want power.. well that's just not on.

But do carry on expanding settlements, please.

How sad.

Here we go again! Republicans are passing #JimCrowLaws and measures that target and discriminate against African-Americans.

“This bill would make Mississippi a model for red states with blue capital cities. At its core, this bill is about lawmakers giving themselves the ability to outmaneuver the federal government,” Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba said in a statement."

@Maggie It's inconceivably shocking, how U.S. government allowed Confederate racist Jim Crow laws to rage on for more than hundred years after the defeat of the Confederacy!

When the Nazis prepared to codify their antisemitism & racism they looked to... America !

"And the ugly irony is that when the Nazis rejected American law, it was often because they found it too harsh. For example, Nazi observers shuddered at the “human hardness” of the “one drop” rule, which classified people “of predominantly white appearance” as blacks. To them, American racism was sometimes simply too inhumane."
