When you thought racism was a solved problem, but the USA absolutely has to prove you wrong.

I used to. When I was a kid in school, I figured it was a holdover from “the racist times” back in the 1960s.

Then I saw how people treated Obama. Real eye opener.

Same here, I thought we were past it and that every year would get better. Guess not.

That’s what made me stop being Republican(a lazy not paying attention 18-22 yo Republican) after Obama was elected I started paying attention and the rise of the tea party was clearly stupid. The more I paid attention the further left I went. Happily voted Obama the 2nd time grudgingly voted Dem the next 3 elections.

Things seemed to be getting better in the 90s. It wasn’t solved, but it was on course to be getting better. And then 9/11 happened and all of a sudden, it was ok to be prejudice against brown people and it didn’t take long for that to snowball. Seeing that felt like everyone around me was replaced with pod people.

Do you think that scene from Blues Brothers would be included if it was made today or would the executives play it safe and veto it?

The Supreme Court literally ruled that racism was over when they overturned the voting rights act.
