    If only there were a body of legal thought that could explain how superficially color-blind can have a discriminatory effect & reproduce racial inequality. Some sort of critical legal theory of race.https://twitter.com/JuddLegum/status/1410612685222252545 …

    A STUNNING admission by the SCOTUS majority weakening the Voting Rights Act. The six justices say that disparate racial impacts of many voting rules are OK because of differences in "employment, wealth, and education" among races. pic.twitter.com/MjPgEGpK8v

        Just spitballing here, but interesting Critical Race Theory (I mean the real the real CRT) is being turned in a bogeyman at precisely the moment when it's most necessary.https://jeetheer.substack.com/p/critical-race-theory-as-a-bogeyman?r=bh54&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email&utm_source=twitter …

        If you mean that CRT is just mainstream liberal civil rights legal thinking working on issues of post CRA & VRA act, then you're right!

        The rule in question is not neutral; if it were, they wouldn't have passed it, especially in states where the party that doesn't support minorities marginally lost.
