So the Supreme Court made a decision to keep the historic Voting Rights Acts alive today, but that Uncle Tom of Uncle Tom's Justice Clarence Thomas voted against renewal!!!
In a 8-1 Decision, the lone nigger on the court, was the lone "nay" vote! Claiming in his ironic and asinine opinion that the heinous behavior that was kicking Black people in the teeth and prevented them from voting has basically been regulated to the history books, so the Voting Rights Act doesn't need to be part of the Constitution any longer. How 'bout for historical purposes, so the Constitution is a document of record as well as the document that defines our country?
I bet that Justice Thomas will be condemning the Senate for voting to apologize to all African-Americans for slavery!
What a Tom!!

Judge and Jury are forced to confront each other
To there was a groundbreaking case before the Supreme Court about discrimination during jury trials. The issue at stake is that prosecuting attornies were using their pre-emptory strikes (where they can just say, "you, you're off the jury" no questionsed asked) to systematically remove Blacks (and probably other minorities, too) from jury pools.
The Supreme Court, in a 7 - 2 Ruling, overturned a 1996 case in which the DA took five niggas off the jury, and sealed this ex-G.I. Joe's fate and sent him to death row by packing the jury with white folks. The details of the jury selection revolve around thsi one Black 26-year old student, who offered up some potential excuses that the trial might force him to miss a few days of class, and he was concerned about that. Even though the dean of his school said it would be okay, the DA kicked old boy off... so he could keep this one white dude on the jury, who was a contractor with two houses under construction and a wife coming home from the hospital after a major surgery, and he had no help at home. Now, who really needs to be removed?
The prevailing justices stated that it was egregious for the prosecutors to behave this way, and now they were on blast -- you kick niggas off the jury, then your conviction is apt to be overturned.
And the issues raised by Rev. Jerry Wright are labeled outrageous?
