Also an issue: "Today, the Court, for the first time in its history, grants a business open to the public a constitutional right to refuse to serve members of a protected class," Sotomayor wrote. "Our Constitution contains no right to refuse service to a DISFAVORED GROUP."

The use of language is one of ‘their’ many means of persuasion. Selectively calling out associations with their disfavored people and groups is another – think Thomas and the many hit pieces on him to force new myopic rules on the justices.

Lbj's great society was a monumental mistake. Aside from creating the civil rights div in the doj which is as corrupt a deep state agency as there is, you cannot legislate out prejudice. It will out itself when the culture is ready. Okla was a fully segregated state. However, when an upscale restaurant in OKC insisted on resisting integration customers simply quit eating there. Only took a week or so and they came around. OKC was ready and it did not require fed intervention. Conversely, when lbj pulled the trigger on his pathway to welfare serfdom I saw a resurgence of race animosity I had not seen in many years.

Exactly. Want a more enlightened society? Invest in the children and wait 20 years.

We did the opposite in America, the equivalent to feeding sugar to kids and wondering why they went nuts.

Or injecting them with vaccines and drugs to dumb them down hen filling the heads with garbage knowing garbage in garbage out.

Exactly, Shelley, the vaccines, the poor diets and the drugs that follow to temper the effects of vaccines and poor diets, it is a perfect demonic self perpetuating imprisonment of the body and mind, and it leaches down generationally.

Furthermore, the effects of that cycle (and other cycles) creates a scenario where it is very difficult to reach people for the overwhelming reason, they have no other way to go. The rest are comforted by ignorance and likely more high scale brain candy.

That's very true, all of it. There were many naysayers at the time and they were obviously roundly rebuffed for having such wisdom. I remember when Rand Paul first ran for his senate seat, he made the comment the CR Act was a mistake. He was mincing around that statement for several months trying to water it down to only this or that. Again, it's the narrative spin, if you don't like what we are doing you are a xxxx. Obamcare got the same reaction, Ryan pushing grandma in a wheelchair of the cliff. Don't like the $$$$$$$$ going to Ukraine, or the open border ... or the green new deal
