>powerful interests have committed eugenics campaigns and taken the vote away from certain groups of people
yes they /had/ political power which is exactly why they could pass legislation to oppress those groups.
Who do you think has more political power in the United States today, the Congressional Black Caucus, or Richard Spenser and the Alt-Right?
note: This is not an endorsement of racist policies or an argument that the Alt-Right should have more political power, but an example showing that protected groups have more political power than racist groups, which is exactly why we have legislation to protect the protected groups!

Considering the White House is full of people who support Spencer and the alt-right, and this country still gets super riled up when black men peacefully and quietly ask the police to stop murdering them, I'm probably not going to go with the Congressional Black Caucus.

- s73v3r_ 8y agoHow about the actions of this administration? How about refusing to condemn the actions of the marchers in Charlottesville? How about separating parents from their children at the border? How about the Muslim Ban? The actions are directly in line with what the alt-right has been asking for.
