A white person and a Black person vote by mail in the same state. Whose ballot is more likely to be rejected?
The changes states are scrambling to make ahead of November to help protect voters from COVID-19 could disproportionately disenfranchise people of color.

Dolly Parton backs BLM: 'Our little white asses' aren't the only ones that matter

https://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-kno...le-white-asses

Quote:
Acclaimed country singer and performer Dolly Parton voiced her support for the Black Lives Matter movement in a wide-ranging interview with Billboard.

"Of course Black lives matter," Parton told the magazine. "Do we think our little white asses are the only ones that matter? No!”

She added: “All these good Christian people that are supposed to be such good Christian people, the last thing we’re supposed to do is to judge one another. God is the judge, not us. I just try to be myself. I try to let everybody else be themselves.”

Amen Dolly. Think I'll spin up, 'Trio' in her honor. What a voice!

The moronic Q-anon sponsored bonfire of her records will be conducted forthwith.

A bottle of bubbly to the first reporter that asks tRump what he thinks of Dolly's statement.

Ruby Bridges was 6 when she walked into a segregated school. Now she teaches children to get past racial differences.

Not a bad article. I like this quote.

"I spent so much of my time ... speaking to kids about my experience and trying to get them to understand that racism really has no place in the hearts and minds of our children. I believe that if we are to get past our racial differences, it’s definitely going to come from our young people."
