I'll just keep it real...I'm not buying it and I refuse to even consider the other side of the issue. If you're a politician saying Civil Rights Act and unconstitutional in the same sentence, you're getting facepalmed. I don't wanna hear the rationale.

The stuff you're saying sounds great and all, but that's easy for white folks to say. They weren't the ones living under Jim Crow.

So that's all I have to say about it.

There were more gains in jobs by blacks in the 2 years preceding the CRA than the 2 years after. We the people made the difference during the Civil Rights marches. Government, which forced Jim Crow on us, came after the fact and overstepped it's bounds when they included the private sector to fall under their thumb instead of just the public sector. It isn't government role to be our moral compass.

The Redeem Act, which Rand Paul and Cory Booker cosponsored, helps level the playing filed without using force on others.

You'll come around.

Your position is: Blacks first, everything else is secondary. Everyone should be so honest.

Well, I am going to vote anyway. I make my own choices.
