    This seems like a layup question.

    No pgabs, but I'm black, grew up in Texas and my parents came here on student visas in the late '60s. I'll admit I don't know squat about the law, but I don't feel that this response is meant to imply Vitter doesn't agree with it. Roberts did a good job calling the Roe decision settled law, but I can see why she's avoiding commenting on individual decisions to preclude either having to do so with other cases, or to avoid any possible rhetorical analogy to some other policy that she may have disagreed with. Trump continues to be human garbage and anyone or anything associated with him is necessarily a maggot, although we obviously still need judges.

    Is she actually implying that she supports segregation, or is this more a states rights thing for her? Seems like a pretty easy question to answer in this day and age.

    I'm guessing she had committed to a strategy of not answering any questions in any meaningful way.

    Trying to maintain plausible deniability and appear impartial, so as to not get smacked with the banhammer.

    If said "yes" to this question she'd have to answer more questions... and it'd go downhill from there.

    When I started that thread I said that was an unintended consequence. I didn't say integration was bad

    Your thread labeled it the "Big Negative from Integration," so either grow up and learn to take criticism for your blindingly irrational ideas, or stop broadcasting them to the world as a means of coping with your own missteps.

    Yes it's a bit negative. I could have titled it more clearly

    I don't have to justify **** to you bro. I know what I meant. If you're gonna ride my dick calling me out in another thread then at at least be correct and don't get upset just cause of my clarification

    No need for you to ever mention me in this thread
    I don't post about pouhe

    Perhaps it was because you were lamenting the good 'ol days of segregation in the other thread so didn't want to predetermine your response to this one.

    I was lamenting the good old days of nice black neighborhoods.

    You guys are the ones who think blacks are only capable of ghettos

    Integration isn't about living with whites it's about rights

    I disagree. Had she said "yes" to the question of if Brown was settled law and the correct decision, there would be no further questions on it. What else would there be to discuss?

    Historically states rights was almost totally about slavery. Today most of states rights is about support for segregation or a desire for American oligarchs to dominate by playing off one state against another state for tax breaks, gun industry profits, pollution breaks, anti-union laws, lower minimum wage laws or similarly undesirable factors.

    I would not say GOP is a racist party, but most racists are Republicans, there is a difference.

    And then they ask you, "do you agree with Roe v. Wade" and she'll have to answer "yes/no" and can't use the dodge tactic anymore.

    Cover blown.

    Lawyers are VERY sneaky and have a way of trapping people - and she knows it. Her lack of response is an effort to avoid any potential traps.

    Hell - even with her non-response she's been trapped. The insinuation here is that she doesn't agree with Brown v. Board and that she's racist. Which is NOT a conclusion that anyone should make from her response.

    One thing I will say I was wrong about. We don't need black neighborhoods. When middle class blacks lived among poor blacks it was beneficial to poor blacks. However we can't go back in time.

    We have to be mindful we can do more to help poor blacks but blacks of different classes living together is a thing of the past and middle class of different races living together is the ideal

    I would venture to guess that most racists are conservative but not necessarily Republican, when only 26% of the nation identify as Republican. Anecdotally, I've encountered all sorts of bigotry that's quietly accepted and ignored within respective tribes. I don't think Republicans are any more identarian than anyone else as much as they are demographically old and white.
