As a member of a mixed race family I am more than horrified at these changes and directions. As someone who is a US citizen and lives in Africa, how interesting that the majority black societies here never challenge voting by making it harder for ethnic groups or people of color to vote. Including, by the way, South Africa. The US has lost its way as can be seen by all such decisions and changes.

I still regularly see posts with something like, "Oh, yeah, well Democrats backed slavery in 1860s!" That's our level of debate...

It is no secret that in the 19th Century, the fields were reversed, with D's the party of slavery, and R's the liberal anti-slavery party.

My response is always, "Well, which party is the Klan voting for these days?"

Now we have a deeper understanding of why many of the insurrectionists who stormed our nation’s Capitol were waving Confederate flags. Thanks, Jon.
