[QUOTE="RobGMN, post: 8913689, member: 683408"] They were created at state and local levels, by officials voted in by the people, and affirmed by the SCOTUS. Suggesting that this somehow all happened against the collective will of the people is rather disingenuous, no? This is not a "whataboutism" discussion. It's about people wanting to "go back to the way things were", when the "way things were" were often quite crappy. "Looking backwards". Interesting coming from the right wing, whose mantra ends in "AGAIN". AGAIN, means to repeat. A desire to repeat the way things used to be. Why not a mantra that says "Let's Do It Better"? It seems that may not be what some people actually want. They want the past, when much of the past was really not that great. Have I ever lived with Hispanics? I grew up 30 minutes from the GWB. Have you ever lived with Italians? Some of the biggest racists around. Have you ever live with black people? Some of the biggest racists around. Have you ever lived with white people? SOme of the biggest racists around. Stop saying your own faults are OK because someone else has the same faults. Fix that shit. [/QUOTE]
