And yet a bunch of people, mainly good ol boys, from the south say racism isn’t real. How messed up has the US become. It doesn’t matter what your skin color is, what matters is your integrity. This is why I am actively trying to get the hell out of Texas, I can’t stand racism no matter who it’s by.

One of those "racism isn't real" is the Chief "Justice" of the USSC

It goes even deeper in congress, especially those that represent the south

Yep, Congress still can't pass a Federal anti-lynching bill.

Like a lot of people in the US, congressional members are all about control and money. Not necessary in that order
