Matthew's taking the week off, and has chosen this episode to revisit.

The media and moderate pushback against accusations of the resurrection of Jim Crow have begun. As soon as people, mostly Black, started to say the GOP was pushing Jim Crow laws, mostly white men decided to climb their self-built pedestal of the only "objective" truth-tellers to say this was an overreaction. In response, Black writer and thinker Jamelle Bouie said, "Jim Crow wasn't Jim Crow, until it was." We must look at these laws in the context of intent, and the larger conversations of voting, and whose votes "count" coming from the anti-democratic party of the GOP.
