    Nothing like Orwellian doublespeak than a bill that declares racism over “because I said so”

        The bill did not call for racial equality, it declared there is already full and complete racial equality. If there are in fact ongoing inequalities, doing this locks them in and prevents them from being addressed. That is a big difference and is one of the reasons it was so widely opposed.

        Laws are not some magic Harry Potter spell that immediately make things true because they’re said a certain way. Youve either been taken in by this fantasy, in which case, grow up and learn something about the history of this country and how it still shapes us today, or you know what the grift is here and in which case, fuck you - you’re a facist and a racist because it’s always projection with you ghouls.

          No it doesn’t. Read it. It requires legal racial equality. If the only way for you to argue this is by pretending the bill says something it doesn’t, reconsider your premise.
