And yet a bunch of people, mainly good ol boys, from the south say racism isn’t real. How messed up has the US become. It doesn’t matter what your skin color is, what matters is your integrity. This is why I am actively trying to get the hell out of Texas, I can’t stand racism no matter who it’s by.
One of those "racism isn't real" is the Chief "Justice" of the USSC
It goes even deeper in congress, especially those that represent the south
Yep, Congress still can't pass a Federal anti-lynching bill.
Actually they finally passed one in 2022.

Took them over 100 years though.
TIL, thank you!
Like a lot of people in the US, congressional members are all about control and money. Not necessary in that order
