[00:00:01]It's Thursday morning, a little before 8 a.m. Um, I don't think that people are fully grasping what the conservative majority in the United States Supreme Court did yesterday in the Voting Rights Act decision out of Louisiana.

[00:00:22]I mean, it has been the goal of John Roberts and Samo and Clarence Thomas and Donald Trump and Steven Miller and JD Vance and so many others in this administration to roll back every bit of civil rights progress that this country has made over the last 60 or 65 years. going back to the Civil Rights Act in 1964 and the Voting Rights Act in 1965, school desegregation, everything that goes along with those things.

[00:00:59]And John Roberts and Samo and Clarence Thomas accomplished yesterday in one Supreme Court opinion what the Ku Klux Clan has tried to do for 150 years.

[00:01:17]in disenfranchising tens of millions of black voters in the South.

[00:01:22]But it's not going to be contained.

[00:01:26]This decision is not going to be contained to the South. It's not going to be contained just to black Americans and their rights to vote. It's going to spread to every marginalized minority community throughout the United States.

[00:01:46]I mean, what the court did yesterday, it's analogous to the DOJ's indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center last week. An organization whose clearstated goals and accomplishments over the last 55 years has been to bankrupt and dismantle white supremacist hate groups.

[00:02:12]but the DOJ charging them with actually funding those groups, which is completely absurd.

[00:02:20]The Voting Rights Act was put into place to protect the voting rights of black Americans primarily in the South.

[00:02:30]And at issue in the Louisiana case, there was a minority majority congressional district that was designed specifically to protect the voting rights and representation of black voters in Louisiana, which is what the Voting Rights Act was designed to do.

[00:02:59]And in striking down that district, in striking down section two of the Voting Rights Act, the conservative majority said that protecting the Voting Rights Act of Black Americans in the South in this manner constituted an unconstitutional racial gerrymander, which is exactly what the Voting Rights Act was designed to do, to protect the voting rights of black Americans in the South.

[00:03:38]The absurdity of it, the absurdity of this decision is matched or even exceeded only by the absolutely devastating consequences that are going to flow from this decision.

[00:03:58]and the racial gerrymandering that is going to occur because of this decision, the racial gerrymandering that is going to occur specifically to disenfranchise tens of millions of black Americans from their voting rights and from representation in Congress.

[00:04:19]The fallout from this decision could potentially end up handing control of the House of Representatives to Republicans for the next 20 or 30 years.

[00:04:43]And today's Republican party is incredibly [ __ ] racist.

[00:04:50]It's a feature, not a bug, for the majority of white men and the majority of white women who voted for Donald Trump in 2024.

[00:05:08]It's just it's stunning to me to think that with one Supreme Court opinion, this court literally accomplished what the clan has been trying to do for 150 years.

[00:05:30]And there's there's no like complicated mental exercise or or logical path that you need to make your way through to get to that conclusion.

[00:05:45]This is a white supremacist court opinion. Period. Full stop.

[00:06:02]But it's legal and the Supreme Court said it's constitutional.

[00:06:08]So it's legal and it's constitutional.

[00:06:20]using the law to disenfranchise tens of millions of black Americans and to deny them any representation in Congress, any representation in the House of Representatives.

[00:06:41]I mean, the Aryan Nation and the KKK couldn't have designed this any better if they had tried. And if they had the power to do it, this Supreme Court opinion is exactly in line with everything these hate groups have been trying to do for decades.

[00:07:10]But now it's just cloaked in John Roberts robe.

[00:07:24]I mean, this court and this administration, it's like I mean, this is almost like an explicit statement saying we want the return of Jim Crow in the United States, specifically ally in the south, but it will expand far beyond the south.

[00:07:51]It will expand far beyond just black voters.

[00:07:57]It is this court decision yesterday is an act of violence.

[00:08:05]It is an act of violence against minorities in the United States who want to vote. It is an act of violence.

[00:08:26]What the [ __ ] man?

[00:08:39]This is what white America wanted.

[00:08:46]This is what white America has always wanted.

[00:08:54]And yesterday they got it.
