(August 14, 2013 at 4:02 pm)The Germans are coming Wrote: I am talking about officialy racist policies. Do you and Faith No More really think that a state goverment or governor of a Southern state would implement a law which is in it`s wording and enforcement officialy racist?
If they thought they could get away with it, sure. The fallout would probably not be worth it, though.
Most politicians are crafty enough, however, to avoid having to deal with fallout from such policies by making them unofficially racist. Arizona enacted a law that allowed them to stop anyone suspected of being a immigrant to ask them for their immigration papers. How many people do you think they stopped because they believed them to be from Austria or England? That is exactly what the voter fraud legislation seeks to achieve, racist policies without obviously labeling them as such.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
