of how Republicans are trying to suppress minority votes. His column in today’s Washington Post will give you the complete low down on the the attempts by Republicans in North Carolina to specifically target minority voters, which is why you really should read The ugliest, most appalling spectacle in American politics.
He describes the attempts to suppress minority votes with the words used for the title of the column, warns us that such attempts did not end with the passing away of Jim Crow, and then tells us that even though SOME of the worst features of such laws have been blocked for now by Federal courts, that
the most effective response would be for black and brown voters to send the GOP a message by turning out in record numbers, no matter what barriers Republicans try to put in our way.
Note the words: “our way.” Robinson as a Black man, even one of privilege living in a community (Arlington VA, where I live) that is liberal but in a state that has passed more restrictions even though his right to vote is not in direct question, takes this personally.
