America according the lyrics by Big Bill Broozy
“What you gonna do about the old Jim Crow?
Now if you was white, should be all right
If you was brown, could stick around
But if you black, whoa brother, git back git back git back”
And so the conservative, oh so pious republican appointees on the Supreme Court affirmed Big Bill’s observation in it’s ruling on Affirmative Action.
The ruling ignored our history of slavery, Jim Crow, segregation and white’s only advantages for 250 years and declared that “magically” America has done away with the lasting multi-generational effects of our history, which they also no longer wish to acknowledge or for that matter include in our history.
Justice Ketanji Jackson Brown’s dissent puts it into the correct historical and legal perspective.
