IN THE NEAR FUTURE WE BLACK FOLKS MAY NOT BE ABLE TO VOTE….BUT WE CAN BE GAY AS HELL!!!! WHAT’S UP PEOPLE????

You know, there’s something to be said about the Supreme Court striking down the Voting Rights Act of 1965 while America’s supposed first Black President is in office. If I had to choose one word to describe what the nation’s highest court has done to us, the word progress would not be the motherfuckin word! But I suppose that would depend on who you ask; because, one man’s progress can be another man’s, “We want our country back!” And of course we know why.

To that point, as ridiculously absurd as the reasoning for the decision by Justice John Roberts, I suppose us Black folks are supposed to trust “certain people” to do the right thing. Which is ironic today, when you consider that the lazy ass Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) asked President Obama to establish a task force to look at and secure Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act way back in 2011. Unfortunately, that request like all of our other requests to his greatness fell on deaf ears, and was never fulfilled. Hum?

Yea, we’re now forced to be post-racial in spite of evidence to the contrary. What matters now in the eyes of some, is that there’s a Nigger in the White House which signals the end of racism as we know it.

Never mind recent attempts to suppress the votes of Black folks. When the Black voter turnout surpassed that of white voters in the November 2012 general election for the first time in history, I knew our fate was sealed! The aforementioned record voter turnout which also saw 72% of Mexican voters casting a ballot for President Obama may have been the nail in the proverbial coffin for freedom, justice, and equality. In my opinion, the results of last year’s elections which secured President Barack Obama a second term in spite of failed attempts of disenfranchisement was the straw that broke the back of whiteness, thus the Supreme Court’s decision.

Until congress acts on this, we can expect an explosion of laws designed to disenfranchise Black voters across the country. As a matter of fact, it only took two damn hours from Monday’s announcement for several states to announce plans to do just that. Until Congress acts, we won’t see a return to poll taxes and literacy tests for would-be Black voters in the future like the days of old. But you can bet your bottom fuckin dollar that we will see lines redrawn to weaken Democratic districts and strengthen Republican strongholds. You know that’s something contrary to the intent of democracy. This may be a victory for some white racists today, but given the success of the Civil Rights Movement in the past, I suspect that this fight ain’t over. If anything, I believe they’re underestimating the power of the Black vote, much like they did in last year’s general election.

I tell you one goddamn thing folks: Given this week’s Supreme Court decision to gut the 1965 Voting Rights Act, don’t ever tell me anything about the Republican Party being anti-slavery, pro-freedom, and the party of Martin Luther King Jr. and all that shit!! Sorry, I’m not buying that bullshit after this week.
