re: #384 Belafon

I fully expect that the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 (and subsequent amendments) and Voting Rights Act of 1965 will both come before a repeal vote in Congress during this session, and Republicans will strip 100 years of progress from minorities in a few short days’ time.

Keep in mind that things like redlining, fair housing, gerrymandering, literacy tests, and the like are NOT explicitly banned via the Constitution, but by legislative action. States weren’t able to overturn these due to the Supremacy clause, however they can be undone at the federal level by a simple majority vote.
