The American Steal of #stopthesteal

American democracy is rife with fraud and theft against a certain segment. In fact the steal is so obvious that it's written into the Constitution and enacted as laws without questioning how this makes us more free or democratic. 

We still have an electoral college in the House to benefit slave states, a made-up filibuster rule in the Senate to benefit Jim Crow politicians trying to stop civil rights, and court-approved gerrymandering to limit Black representation in all state and federal positions. DC has taxation with no real representation in the Congress or the Senate b/c it's too black and would actually represent its constituents while Wyoming has a smaller 99% white population and gets 2 Senators...this is along with North Dakota, South Dakota, and about 5 other tiny states that each get 2 Senators for a population under 1 million ppl).  

None of these rules makes us more democratic or fair. Quite the opposite, these rules were surgically employed to ensure that whiteness trumps fairness and equality.

After the system has been tilted, rigged, partially paralyzed, and warped for all black voters who have to run through a legal quadrathlon in Southerns states, Republicans are still trying to find ways to make voting as difficult, limited, and arduous for black people while chanting 'stop the steal.' The steal has been in place for over 200 years. The steal is so great that Stacey Abrams was nominated for a NOBEL PEACE PRIZE b/c it takes a Herculean effort, massive organization, and around-the-clock fundraising to make sure black ppl are somewhat, kind of democratically represented...in one single state. 

Stop the steal indeed. I wonder what the South would look like if voting was fair? I wonder what the Senate would look like if it was an actual majority rule like, you know, a democracy.
