Supplementary #1965_VotingRightsAct i.e. "This act was signed into law on August 6, 1965, by President Lyndon Johnson. It outlawed the discriminatory voting practices adopted in many southern states after the Civil War, including literacy tests as a prerequisite to voting. This 'act to enforce the fifteenth amendment to the Constitution' was signed into law 95 years after the amendment was ratified. In those years, African Americans in the South faced tremendous obstacles to voting, including poll taxes, literacy tests, and other bureaucratic restrictions to deny them the right to vote. They also risked harassment, intimidation, economic reprisals, and physical violence when they tried to register or vote. As a result, African-American voter registration was limited, along with political power. In 1964, numerous peaceful demonstrations were organized by Civil Rights leaders, and the considerable violence they were met with brought renewed attention to the issue of voting rights. The murder of voting-rights activists in Mississippi and the attack by white state troopers on peaceful marchers in Selma, Alabama, gained national attention and persuaded President Johnson and Congress to initiate meaningful and effective national voting rights legislation. The combination of public revulsion to the violence and Johnson's political skills stimulated Congress to pass the voting rights bill on August 5, 1965."

Context response [tweet] to this article: #MagazineNewsweekDavidBenMoshe "Watching the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, I observed the same pattern: Everyone saw injustice, but the two conflicting narratives also lacked nuance. The Right saw a hero being dragged through an unjust court system, a victim of media demonization. The Left saw a white supremacist who drove 'across state lines' to kill peaceful protesters demanding dignity for Black Americans. The assumptions of both sides were proven false in the courtroom: Rittenhouse certainly made poor decisions, but that doesn't make him a criminal. Criminals are convicted in a court of law by a jury based on the available evidence. That is justice. Huge amounts of time, energy, and money have been spent on a dysfunctional conversation that is encouraging a violent reality, instead of what we need: a better future. We should be having serious discussions about gun laws, self-defense laws, and the ability of our system to keep law and order on the streets. Because in a reality where civilian teenagers can legally walk the streets with assault rifles while the rioters loot and burn cities, people will die. Our national conversation shouldn't be limited to high-profile cases such as Rittenhouse and Blake. There are vigilante murders happening every day in America, most occurring in Black communities, with innocents getting hit in the crossfire." https://www.newsweek.com/im-black-ex-felon-im-glad-kyle-rittenhouse-free-opinion-1652402 #IRLPrivateCitizenKyleRittenhouse #CharacterisationMonsterDemonisation #PoliticsNationalismWhiteSupremacy #PleaDefenceSelf #IRLPrivateCitizenJacobBlake #ToponymAmericaNorthUSWisconsinKenosha

@IndiaMaruszewski [name pseudonymized] [ontology] : President Lyndon B Johnson (D), hailed as a champion for the black community by the US media. Here’s a couple quotes by LBJ It’s one thing to be shit on as a race, it’s another thing to support the ones shitting on you #BLM #Woke #Trump2020 #WWG1WGA #WWG1WGAWORLDWIDE #REDWAVE [URL redacted]
#WebsiteSnopes "A viral quote circulating since the 1990s attributes the following statement to Lyndon Baines Johnson, the 36th President of the United States: 'I'll have those niggers voting Democratic for 200 years'... We don't have a high degree of confidence that he actually said it, however." [fact-checked] #1965_VotingRightsAct
"These Negroes, they're getting pretty uppity these days and that's a problem for us since they've got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we've got to do something about this, we've got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference." [commentary] "To be fair, historians point out that sometimes -- as in the case above, presumably -- Johnson's more bigotry-laden statements were calculated to achieve a specific end, such as convincing his pro-segregation Dixiecrat colleagues that it was in their best interests to support civil rights legislation."

Addendum "uppityness" in this context somewhat alludes to #OtheringCaricatureSlaveryNat "The Nat caricature portrays African and African American males as angry, crazed, revengeful brutes with a bloodthirsty hatred for white people. Like many anti-black caricatures, the Nat portrayal was popularized during American slavery.... 'Nat was the rebel who rivaled Sambo in the universality and continuity of his literary image. Revengeful, bloodthirsty, cunning, treacherous, and savage, Nat was the ravager of white women who defied all the rules of plantation society. Subdued and punished only when overcome by superior numbers of firepower, Nat retaliated when attacked by whites, led guerrilla activities of maroons against isolated plantations, killed overseers and planters, or burned plantation buildings when he was abused...
