For years, conservatives on the court have claimed to be “colorblind.” Yet when it comes to criminalizing our communities, suddenly race matters. This is the contradiction at the heart of the Roberts Court: no race in college admissions, but race is admissible in immigration stops.
Nazi DEI
My inability to tan is no longer a laughing joke.
I’m privileged to be a wasp, but more specifically, I literally cannot tan. I’m not albino. I’m just pale. now have a privilege that not even everyone in my family has.
My dad is a wasp, but tans really easy. In Missouri and Indiana, he’s been profiled already like this. Over a decade ago too. Black hair, tan skin. That’s it. That’s all that does it.
There’s a very disturbing plan here. It makes the Nazi racial policies seem tame.
Gee I wonder if there will be any ICE presence near voting/polling locations in swing states? I just wonder.
I’m light-skinned, but my wife and kids are brown. I don’t want them living in a country where I can vote without fear, but they can’t.
This is the most likely 2026 election rigging method. Mass arrests at polling places and then watch the nonwhite turnout plummet
The decisions of the Supreme Court really have less and less to do with the constitution—now apparently only in the sense that they contradict it in a grotesque manner.
Not even just Mexicans, but Mexican-looking people (aka Latino).
But it’s not just license to hunt Latino looking people either. The stay was not on that population specifically. The stay was on arresting people on the suspicion based off of any of these henious criminal factors:
- Existing while non-white (this can include Black/African/Caribbean, East Asian, South Asian, Middle Eastern, and Native Americans)
- Waiting for a bus
- Looking for work
- Working at a car wash, a recycling centre or on a farm
- Speaking English with a foreign-sounding accent
- Speaking Spanish (which could be any langauge to a cop that can’t tell foreign languages apart)
No visible minority is safe from this.
No one* is safe from this. They’ll twist this and other rulings to make it so they can easily discard the rights of anyone against the MAGAt regime.
Not just latino. Anyone with slightly darker skin, including indigenous people.
The real problem in this Sept. 8 decision is that the Supreme Court justices are now saying the quiet part aloud: Brown skin is a problem to be policed. And that leaves us with a dangerous question—can a country built on such contradictions hold together when its highest court openly sanctions racism against millions of its own people?
I don’t think it can or maybe it is that I don’t want to think about a preservation of so much suffering in an unnatural state of cruelty because it is too cynical.
This country has never been the place we were taught to believe it was. I think we started to come close to reshaping it into that image, though; this offended the parasitic ultra wealthy sociopaths, so they put Trump in power to remind us of “our proper place”.
They couldn’t have put Trump in power without the help of the American electorate.
American citizens are inundated with propaganda. In fact, we always have been. The voters are given plenty of involuntary help to make sure they make the right decision.
Don’t get me wrong, the willful ignorance is infuriating. But focusing on that won’t do
anythingmuch to address the root issues, I’m afraid.Edit: changed a word
America is a slaver state and shouldn’t hold together. This is out permission slip to remake society from the ground up
