| This isn't America and neither is the filibuster |
Digby ran a great piece this week wherein she featured a historian showing the historical proof that the filibuster is, and always has been, a racist tactic. Frankly, it's no different a racist symbol in American history than white hoods, burning crosses, southern states that seceded, and the republican party since Nixon began their southern strategy.
One wonders what it will take for Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema to see this--unless of course they prefer not to because white privilege is more important to them and their careers than the ideal that in America we are all created equal. It's high past time for Manchin and Sinema to be asked why they support a maneuver that is designed to oppress people of color--especially since neither of them has an exemplary track record when it comes to civil rights.
As far as I'm concerned, "Racist much?" works just fine.
It Was an Insurrection--the Blood of Those Killed on January 6th Is on Republican Hands
