[EL] Thoughts on Shelby County/My latest blog/The End of the Second Civil Rights Era and the Coming of the Second Great Disenfranchisement

[Schultz, David A.]

Hi all:

Given that everyone else seems to have chimed in on the Shelby County
decision, let me add to that discussion.

The End of the Second Civil Rights Era
and the Coming of the Second Great Disenfranchisement

http://schultzstake.blogspot.com/2013/06/the-end-of-second-civil-rights-era-and.html

    With Monday’s affirmative action decision and Tuesday’s Voting Right
Act case the Supreme Court has just about ended the second civil rights era
in American history, paving the way for the second great disenfranchisement
in American history.   While the decisions were no surprise, they
nonetheless tell us many things about race, class, and power in American
politics, and also about who the Supreme Court favors. . .and it is not the
powerless and oppressed.
