What would you call state voter repression laws deigned and aimed specifically at black voters?
The Federal courts would not preclear them because we used to have a strong Voting Rights Act in this country, up until two days ago.A figment of your vivid imagination?
Please list current voter repression laws aimed specifically at black voters.
Come on, really?? For one thing, she'd be paying those "slaves," yes? Do you really think it's a horrendous nightmare for a woman to dream of an antebellum wedding? Jesus. Lighten up. Go watch Gone With The Wind. Go tour antebellum mansions in the South.
Yes . A desire to return Black Americans to slavery status even if only in appearance is a horrendous nightmare.
There is nothing innocent about that dream... it is an inexcuasable longing for "the good ole' days" when people could own people.
I'd venture to guess that an antebellum-type wedding would be many a young woman's dream (of Paula Deen's age)...totally harmless.

Except for the Black people who would be reduced to a lower level and demeaned by it.
It's a very sick idea.
That is absolutely disgusting. Sick people willing to spend "millions" does nothing to justify anything.Tell that to these sites who spend millions of dollars putting them on every year. https://www.google.com/search?q=ant...7j60j0j5j0j60.3183j0&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

I get sick to the stomach just thinking about some of the things that have happened in Alabama.
I get sick to my stomach thinking about what our country has done to American Indians -- that's still going on to this day -- that almost completely destroyed a race of people. There's a great deal in our history that's ugly.
Slavery was wrong. Antebellum weddings are beautiful. Did Paula Deen take her fantasy over the top? Yes, she did. Does she deserve to be completely destroyed for it? No. And she won't be, This, too, shall pass.
Of that there can be little doubt.I get sick to my stomach thinking about what our country has done to American Indians -- that's still going on to this day -- that almost completely destroyed a race of people. There's a great deal in our history that's ugly.
No they are a sick nostalgia for the days of pre-war slavery... As I said it should be a huge embarrassment to any patriotic American.Slavery was wrong. Antebellum weddings are beautiful.
Yes . There is no place for people who long for a return to slavery and who obviously harbor racism in American public entertainment.Did Paula Deen take her fantasy over the top? Yes, she did. Does she deserve to be completely destroyed for it?
In the context of what you were replying to, was that supposed to be a pun? You racist!Lighten up

The fact that she sees nothing wrong with her dreams and your view of these desires as "totally harmless" , is least equally disturbing.
She destroyed herself with her lack of sensitivity and her unabashed racism.
Indeed it is gratifying to expose and condemn any level of racism.Must be sooooo gratifying.
A day without racism in the news is just devastating to some. Why, there must be racism patrols or something like that roving the country and sniffing out every hint of something that's possibly racist. And viola, they find them some racism. Must be sooooo gratifying.
No doubt. The Inquisitors found heresy nearly everywhere.Those who deny that racism still exists all over the USA are part of the problem.
Those who do not confront racism wherever it shows its ugly face are part of the problem.
Those who are not with us, are against us.
We will win this battle.
As we have others in the past.
No doubt. The Inquisitors found heresy nearly everywhere.
Count me as part of the problem then. Personally, if someone wants to call me a cracker, I say have at it. I don't care. I've been called much, much worse, and I'm still here. Now, if it was as easy to find a job as it seems to be to find racism, we might be getting somewhere.Indeed it is gratifying to expose and condemn any level of racism.
Racism is not all that hard to find in modern America. The "search" is not necessary.
To say nothing when racism is seen, is to accept it ... to accept it, is to be complicit ... To be complicit makes you part of the problem...
I will certainly agree that the Inquisitors were just as guilty of inhumanity then as the racists are today.
Pfft. What a crap comparison. A racist today is a stupid idiot. They sound like stupid idiots; they look like stupid idiots; most perceive them as stupid idiots. Some people see racism everywhere. Know why? They're looking out of racist eyes.
I've heard malarkey like that many times before from a lot of racists.
I am not impressed by that kind of BS.
