BREAKING: Rep. Eric Swalwell to lead House Democrats and activists in singing "We Shall Overcome" on the steps of U.S. Capitol to express solidarity in opposition to "Jim Crow 2.0."

"We're gonna sing our way to giving blacks the right to vote," Swalwell told reporters.

And then were going to abolish slavery!!


Snark aside the way white liberals talk down toward black people and treat them as perpetual victims who need saving strikes me as incredibly condescending and racist. "We're going to give blacks the right to vote"? Who the frick are you? They really think they're the heroes here to save black people.

ETA: a satire account got me. It sounds so much like something Democrats would do.

Why did they lobby to have all people of color removed from marketing/packaging?

He might want to check with China to see how they feel about this first.

It's always the Dems who hear those "racist dog whistles" first, so they can tell us about their existence

The line between Democrats behavior and satire has become incredibly blurred.

Black people can't vote? Someone should tell all the people I saw at the polls then.

No, no they don't, it is all an act, a fraud to try to fool and retain those voters and other voters who thing they have to be the heroes to those type of folks as well. All for show!!!

Any democrats want to come in and fact check that blacks dont have the right to vote?



Is it satire though?


Welcome to Jim Crow 2.0 - Ny Times

Clyburn: Republicans Are Doing "Jim Crow 2.0" With State Voting Laws - real clear politics


Jim Crow 2.0 is about two insidious things: voter suppression and election subversion. It’s about making it harder to vote, who gets to count the vote, and whether your vote counts at all. - Joe Biden

they even have a website...
