America certainly wasn’t over it before the Civil Rights Act; before that, we were an apartheid state.
i think it’s fascinating that we’re going back in that direction. Texas, for example, has a majority non-white and democrat registered state per the last census; but neither group are represented proportionally in the state’s government.
and i think the bigger indictment of our system is that there are are MANY “get out and vote” initiatives/groups to help increase voting (especially in texas and georgia); but they all seem to pretend that gerrymandering and voter suppression are either not a thing or not definitive enough to take action even though the last census confirmed (and previous censuses suggested) that it this trend of lack of representation for non-white/democrats is increasing.
