Wow, is there anything you wouldn’t work so hard to justify? Can you reference anything you perceive as racist?

Sure, for instance, SCOTUS justice RBG once wrote a minority opinion in Rice v Cayetano that it is OK to ban certain races from voting in certain public elections. Obviously, RBG was a flaming racist and thankfully her opinion was overruled.

So yes I would say people like Ruth Ginsburg who didn't believe in the 15th amendment allowing equal voting rights with regards to race, are racists.

Look at all those details omitted!

This was an indigenous people treaty case, and when mothballed says "certain public elections" they mean "a single election for a position in Hawaii which was established in negotiations with indigenous Hawaiians in the 1970s. Not, however, a treaty obligation.

I don't know that I agree with RGB here, but I don't find that to be a racist opinion.
