    “We don’t need these old protections, we’re different now.”

    Oh, really? What, pray tell, makes us, less than 100 years later, so fundamentally different from Jim Crow supporters and the fucking Nazis that we don’t need to be concerned about it anymore? I find it to be particularly shocking news that Dr. King fixed racism for all time, considering my experience living in the south when Obama was running for president.

    I don’t buy it. I think this is ultimately about keeping the poor down.
