@annamuneca It's crazy how we can get banned for telling someone to walk into a door of all things but this is acceptable.
@annamuneca As a European -- what are these two about?
@Paradise7D Plessy v Ferguson in 1896 the Court held that separate accommodations based on race was constitutional & did not violate the equal protection clause of the 14 Amendment (forbids the states from depriving any person of “life, liberty, or property, without due process of law” and from denying anyone equal protection under the law).
Later Brown vs Board of Edu of Topeka in 1954 ruled separate accommodations based on race were inherently unequal & unconstitutional (thus desegregation).
@stueytheround @Paradise7D yeah… I’m disgusted that people still think this way. It’s animalistic.
Yup: how incredibly racist of John Cornyn, right?
I mean, he’s not even being veiled about it.
@Paradise7D because it became incredibly obvious that “separate but equal” was NOT equal.
@annamuneca So if I understand that correctly, they want their apartheid state back?!
@Paradise7D yes. They want racial segregation to return as rule of law
@Paradise7D @annamuneca
Yes, you got it. That is exactly what they want, and they're not being remotely subtle about it
@annamuneca That's catastrophic. Unimaginable. The world would shun this and apply sanctions -- the US would lose its seat at the table forever. Truly out of this world. Oh my God.
I went over to 🐦 and reported this piece of shit. You should too.
