Of course this election had nothing to do with racism. Its obvious

Supreme Court Invalidates Key Part of Voting Rights Act
"“Our country has changed,” Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. wrote for the majority. “While any racial discrimination in voting is too much, Congress must ensure that the legislation it passes to remedy that problem speaks to current conditions.”

The decision will have immediate practical consequences. Texas announced shortly after the decision that a voter identification law that had been blocked would go into effect immediately, and that redistricting maps there would no longer need federal approval. Changes in voting procedures in the places that had been covered by the law, including ones concerning restrictions on early voting, will now be subject only to after-the-fact litigation."

8. Robert's told us when he strike down the key point in the voting rights act that

"no more racism. After all Obama was African American proves it"

Of course they conveniently leave out how President Obama was treated throughout the eight years as President with such disrespect, its sickening their hypocrisy

[3catwoman3]

3. Two elections. Two messages.

The election of Barack Obama revealed just how deeply racist many Americans still are.

The rigged-for-him election of DFT (Donald Fucking Trump) has given this racism a stamp of approval.

[NoGoodNamesLeft]

4. No one said that racism wasn't a factor for SOME voters...namely the alt-right

But to say that ALL white voters who voted for Trump are racists even when many of them voted for Obama twice is wrong and untrue.

[True_Blue]

5. Maybe all Trump voters aren't racist

But obviously racism wasn't high on their list of priorities. It's just hard to fathom why anyone opposed to racism would vote for Trump.

[stone space]

6. I find it hard to believe that Trump is xenophobic and misogynistic. Look at who he married.

even when many of them voted for Obama twice is wrong and untrue.

[gollygee]

7. They are all racist. Either actively by liking what he said, or passively by being OK with it.

And you have no idea how many Obama voters voted for Trump. You make a lot of assumptions there.

9. Approximately 25% of the American public believe President Obama isn't an American,

Similar numbers that believe he is a Muslim.

A coincidence I am sure that same number voted for trump.

Nothing to see here

11. If they voted for Trump

they voted for racism. He never tried to hide it. It was no longer a dog-whistle, more like a trumpet. If they voted for Trump, they were okay with racism, which in the end is as bad as the White Supremacists. (I refuse to call them alt-right because that's what they want to be called.)

10. Thank you for this, stillone..
