My first experience with those "white only’ fountains and restrooms was in 1966, in FLORIDA! Alabama and Georgia were already getting in compliance. Scalia must miss the “good old days”? (And yes, I know that it was the Democrats at that time doing the objecting, but those are the clowns that became the right-wing “southern Republicans” or today.

Our founding documents say “All men are created equal.” Scalia has a problem with that. He believes he should be Pope, because he’s been given the truth straight from God! And that makes him infallible.

Google George Wallace, a Democrat Governor of Alabama during the Civil Rights Movement…

Proof Democrats are more Racist than Republicans as at the Time Alabama at that time also had a Democrat Controlled State Legislature.
News Flash! Republicans passed the Civil Rights Bill while Democrats voted against it.

Even though he’s a dirty, crusty old man, Scalia obviously doesn’t appreciate when Italians were considered a lower form of life than “natives.” Of course, if he’d been on the court then he’d have been a white man.

Seriously?
A black man has obtained the highest office in the land.
Remember the 14th Amendment: “…equal protection under the law.”
It is now time to decide.
Do I want and get special treatement due to race?
ORDo I move forward, stand on my own and step out of the shadow of protectionism. Clinging to the Voting Rights Act will never allow “equal protection under the law.”
As long as there is protectionism, quotas, set-asides and the VRA, then there will always be suspicion that I did not make it on merit alone, I got special treatment, I was a special needs case.

And as long as Republicans continue to push repressive laws in the name of “voter fraud”, we will need laws like the Voting Rights Act. BTW: It was Lincoln (a Republican) who freed most slaves with the Emancipation Proclamation. Peoples and parties do change. What they did in the past is mostly irrelevant when talking about today’s actions. Because someone has a good marriage today, are they to be vilified forever for a bad earlier one? If our country is based, as so many claim, on Judeo-Christian values, then forgiveness should be among those practiced.

1966 was the year we moved from NC to VA.
In my high school class there was one black guy out of almost 300 students. He was a popular dude and went to Va Tech as I did.
