Japan and Germany have been making their own decisions for years, but the southern states (and some other isolated areas) of the USA have been treated like occupied territories for 148 years. The people who hate us the most have never been down here. I’m sure of that, because once you get a Yankee in here you can’t run ‘em off with a stick.

Since, as Justice Roberts pointed out, a larger percentage of blacks (relative to their numbers) vote in Mississippi than in Massachusetts, maybe its time to give us Southerners equal rights for a change.

“...but the southern states (and some other isolated areas) of the USA have been treated like occupied territories for 148 years.”

Sadly, white Southerners are the architects of their own “occupation” because of their obsessive problems with black Americans doing things like...using the same bathroom....eating nearby...or voting. Those were your racist laws, not something imposed on you by yankees. If the affected States were following the 15th Amendment under their Constutitional obligations, the voting laws would never have been passed.

The court is saying that you folks have finally fixed your s**t. Hopefully that is finally true.

It will make my mother happy; an AMERICAN of hispanic decent from New Mexico (a Southern State too btw) who visited y’all in 1957 with my white father and was told point blank that “darkies” weren’t allowed to use the white bathroom.

Again, it’s good you folks finally fixed your crap. This was a good ruling.
