Like you said, the fact that this was even brought to the Supreme Court menas that we are still living in a highly racist society. Additionally, we currently have many issues with inequality in our society that go beyond race. What about gay rights? I am very glad that we have made these strides towards racial equality and civil rights but we clearly still have very long way to go! What imbecile would think that we are in a post-racist society if we want to repeal a civil rights act?!

Just ...I agree our society is far from post racial. Just because some progress has been made doesnt mean that the problem has been solved especially since Section 5 has been used as recently as this year to strike down discriminatory voting laws. It does have to be recognized that while section 5 is useful it does it apply to every state and is in this way unfair.

I mean we have a KKK rally...I 100% agree with you. I mean we have a KKK rally in Memphis to protest the renaming of a park named after a former slave trader. When you have people not voting for a President because he is black and just as much so voting for him because he is black, you cannot be in a post-racial society. Colbert usually does a good job talking about these racial issues as well always saying that he is colorblind or does not see race. He is clearly saying this to point out how ludicrous that statement actually is. The idea about repealing the Voting Rights Act would be about as equal to saying we do not need to work on integrating schools. It makes no sense.Sam Mattsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06877740182417949568noreply@blogger.com
