These eagles sound like so many advantaged in this system. Unless challenges impact them directly, they seem to be oblivious to the difficulties, disbelieving those who speak of their lived experiences.
Many resources point to many issues that impact marginalized groups. They don't often specifically speak of racism, although they speak of civil rights. There are many issues that cross state lines that require the understanding and compassion of those who are not directly impacted by them.
I understand why race does not factor in for the shrinking majority in this country, because they don’t experience racism. Some anti-racist educators even call them “non-racialized.” I guess they also have a tinge of conservatism given that they often need to face their need to hurdle race if they perceive it at all.
Contrary to what is indicated by this content creator’s other videos, political psychology, especially in the United States of America is tied to racism. It is central.
Not experiencing violations of human rights impacting the marginalized in this country is also probably why people see no issue with “states’ rights.” One either knows that it is how status quo power is maintained or doesn’t and it just sounds reasonable. Most people in marginalized groups, save the affluent, cannot enforce their rights because they often don’t have the money to hire a lawyer to enforce their rights.
Exhausting the funds of the average person is a tactic I have watched many wealthy employ when facing accountability. They can often outspend others on legal fees/compensation. The marginalized also rarely have the network of people to leverage contingencies. And the bandwidth of many lawyers cannot afford the demand for contingencies in the population of average people when most of the wealth is held by less than one percent of the population.
When coordinated efforts, or exclusionary and common worldviews across states violate people’s human rights across states, it would be a heavy burden to fight on 50 fronts. Hence the need for federal answers to issues that span the states. This Reddit thread covers a lot of the kinds of issues I’ve heard others discuss.
In this segment about racial covenants found often in the small print in property deeds, the scramble and ripple effects are clear. It is only one of the many ripple effects of the unjust racial context, not just the history, of this country.
Let's create a more perfect union by protecting the rights of those who do not have the power to protect themselves. I am thankful for the power of the federal government to protect its citizens and not just the status quo of states' rights that often reinforces harm.
I just saw (9/22/2024 edit) these content creators speak about it regarding pregnancy health care:
