The conservatives on the Roberts Court are channeling Justice Joseph P. Bradley’s infamously rascist Supreme Court decision in the Civil Rights Cases, 109 U.S. 3 (1883)—invalidating post-civil war laws protecting newly freed slaves from continued domination by whites—that African Americans should cease being “the special favorites of the law.”

While the reactionary conservative backlash had begun under the Berger Court in the mid-to-late 1970’s, and had reached an uneasy state of equilibrium under Rehnquist, it has now finally reached fruition under the Roberts Court’s conservative majority, which has been aided by the right’s successful campaign of securing mostly conservative judges appointed to the lower federal courts since Reagan in the 1980s.

This “new” conservative era is akin to the post-civil war period when the federal judiciary had critically undermined the Civil War Amendments’ (the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments ) promise of ending racial domination with decisions typified by the infamous Plessy v. Ferguson, causing African-Americans to continue to remain in a legally-sanctioned state of subjugation for nearly 100 years after the end of slavery. What underlies both the old and new Plessy judicial eras is a whitewashing of the long history of racial subjugation of African-Americans and an undying denial that institutionalized racism is still pervasive in American society. In this context, the judiciary’s current role—like that after the Civil War—is to roll back what is perceived to be overly expansive civil rights remedial actions.

What is happening now on the Court is part of the larger reactionary conservative movement that has sought to dismantle the fundamental changes made by and flowing from the New Deal, the Great Society, and the civil rights movement—changes that have made this nation much more fairer, inclusive, and just. The goal of this conservative counter-revolution is to have society revert back to some fictionalized notions of “traditional” values that existed before the New Deal--typified by the oppressive19th Century laissez-faire economic, political and social order.

While Reagan and Bush I & II had largely failed to accomplish this attack through executive power, and Gingrich through legislative power, the Rehnquist and now the Roberts Courts have increasingly succeeded through judicial power.

The current court rules against reactionary liberals. As a result American of all races will be treated more equally. Does not it suck to be a fascist-reactionary-liberal like you? So much hatred - it must be eating you alive.

Reactionary liberals?? oh you've been drinking the Hannity KoolAide too long Gringo. 5 old men who grew up in an age of legal male privilege, 4 of them white who grew up in an age of legal WHITE privilege are in tune with what is more equal for all other races?

Get a grip.

As for your hatred comment - me thinks thou are projecting again.

I grew up in the USSR. All the crap you are trying to sell here is old, very old. You may confuse some simple minded folks here, but I've seen and heard everything you have to say. In fact, I lived in a state that fullfilled all your dreams.

So yes, reactionary liberals. It's a very accurate term.

Growing up in the USSR - well that explains a lot. Maita Krievs.

American liberals hated the guts of every dissident from USSR who escaped to the West. Sounds like you guys can keep the grudge...

Really? I guess that's why liberals still celebrate Solzhenytsin

Try again.

Those who support “equality of outcome” are, in fact, “racial Marxists” and are factually part of the most murderous ideology in all of human history! As non-racists, we support “diversity of outcome,” because we support absolute individual liberty for all, where people are free to succeed and fail.

It is irrational to create an “hierarchy of victimization” where groups are ranked according to “oppressor/victimization” status, because all groups have both oppressors and victims in their histories. For example, Jared Diamond’s, “Guns, Germs and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies,” in the Chapter titled, “How Africa Became Black,” concludes that black-skinned Africans hunted the reddish-skinned Bushmen to near genocidal extinction. So, even victimized black Africans are the oppressors of reddish-skinned Bushmen.

We argue that all laws should be enforced equally; no ethnic group is above the law; and no one should have special victim status protections.

Racial Marxists do not exist. It is a term you invented as a straw man for your own ideology.

Marxism can be summed up in only a couple of phrases, "class struggle" and "victims vs. oppressors." Racial Marxists, like Obama, use race and gender as proxies for the victimization class to promote economic envy, class warfare and racial hatred in order to facilitate their progressive redistribution schemes.

"Freeman and slave, patrician and plebeian, lord and serf, guild-master and journeyman, in a word, oppressor and oppressed, stood in constant opposition to one another, carried on an uninterrupted, now hidden, now open fight, a fight that each time ended, either in a revolutionary reconstitution of society at large, or in the common ruin of the contending classes." - Marx and Engels

Obama was nurtured under Rev. Wright in Black Liberation Theology, based on the teachings of James H. Cone:Theology scholar Dr. Morley states “black theology turns religion into sociology, and Jesus into a black Marxist rebel. While making statements against whites and Asians, it promotes a poor self-image among blacks, and describes the black man as a helpless victim of forces and people beyond his control. Black theology calls for political liberation instead of spiritual salvation.”

The founders of BLT “have worked to incorporate Marxist thought into the black church, forming an ethical framework predicated on a system of oppressor class versus a victim much like Marxism”

Other experts contend that BLT is a “scarcely concealed, Marxist-inspired indictment of American capitalism pervades contemporary 'black-liberation theology'...The black intellectual's goal is to "aid in the destruction of America as he knows it." ... Such destruction requires both black anger and white guilt. The black-power theologian's goal is to tell the story of American oppression so powerfully and precisely that white men will "tremble, curse, and go mad, because they will be drenched with the filth of their evil”

Wikipedia: Black Liberation Theology Quotes:

1. "To be Christian is to be one of those whom God has chosen. God has chosen black people!"

2. "Black Power is an affirmation of the humanity of blacks in spite of white racism. It says that only blacks really know the extent of white oppression, and thus only blacks are prepared to risk all to be free."

3. "All white men are responsible for white oppression....Racism is possible because whites are indifferent to suffering and patient with cruelty…because they are men, a solidarity through which each shares responsibility for every injustice and every wrong committed in the world, and especially for crimes that are committed in his presence or of which he cannot be ignorant.'

4. "The demonic forces of racism are real for the black man. Theologically, Malcolm X was not far wrong when he called the white man "the devil."

5. "Racism is a complete denial of the Incarnation and thus of Christianity...If there is any contemporary meaning of the Antichrist (or "the principalities and powers"), the white church seems to be a manifestation of it. It was the white "Christian" church which took the lead in establishing slavery as an institution and segregation as a pattern in society by sanctioning all-white congregations."

6. “Either God is identified with the oppressed to the point that their experience becomes God's experience, or God is a God of racism...The blackness of God means that God has made the oppressed condition God's own condition.”

7. "Black theology cannot accept a view of God which does not represent God as being for oppressed blacks and thus against white oppressors”.

8. "What we need is the divine love as expressed in black power, which is the power of blacks to destroy their oppressors, here and now, by any means at their disposal.”

Why are Sharpton, Farrakhan, Malcolm X, Jackson, Wright, Khalid al-Mansour, Obama and other Racial Marxists vicious anti-Semites?

Racial Marxists, like Obama (and the aforementioned “Civil Rights” leaders) use race and gender as proxies for the victimization class to promote economic envy, class warfare and racial hatred in order to facilitate their progressive redistribution schemes.

Because oppressed Jews do well economically and are relatively well educated, their vicious hate-filled "racial Marxist" dogma has been proven to be as false.

If oppressed Jews (the most oppressed people in world history) don’t need affirmative action, then their entire racial Marxist ideology is as incorrect as their false Marxist Messiah, Obama.

Marxism can be summed up in only a couple of phrases, "class struggle" and "victims vs. oppressors." Obama is clearly not interested in the ideas of Milton Friedman and Adam Smith. However, racial Marxists, like Obama, use race and gender as proxies for the victimization class to promote economic envy, class warfare and racial hatred in order to facilitate their progressive redistribution schemes.

How many anti-Semitic “civil rights” leaders do you all need to see before you see a trend? <link> “a recent poll found anti-Semitism among blacks three times higher than among non-blacks.”

Black racism comes from the failure of African Americans to achieve at the same rate as Jews, Chinese, Indians, Muslims and etc. Luckily, of the civil right leaders mentioned only MLK didn’t preach racial Marxism. MLK preached a color blind society. So now leftists require racial preferences. Obama is ready to entrench racial discrimination into our judicial system…

The New Deal failed; see these articles:

3. FDR's programs didn't succeed in pushing unemployment below 20 percent.
4. New Deal or Raw Deal?: How FDR's Economic Legacy Has Damaged America."
5. Cato's Jim Powell makes the case against the New Deal.

"We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work.…I want to see this country prosperous. I want to see people get a job. I want to see people get enough to eat. We have never made good on our promises….I say after eight years of this Administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started. ... And an enormous debt to boot!" - Henry Morgenthau Jr. (May 9, 1939,) -- pal, lunch companion and loyal secretary of the Treasury to President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

"I have never seen an economist lay out a case that the New Deal succeeded." – (<link>) Library of Economics

<link> Business Leaders concluded New Deal Failed. Public opinion polls in March and May 1939: Sixty-five percent of executives surveyed thought that the Roosevelt administration policies had so affected business confidence that the recovery had been seriously held back.

Professors Cole and Ohanian research concludes that FDR's policies prolonged the Depression by 7 years. Should we gamble with America’s economic future based on flawed redistributive economic policies that have never worked as intended?

Shoo IM.

Think - Kook!
