It's not about what Alvin Holmes said, it's about what Alabama House Republicans did
Bama house republicans voted to deny black/poor women access to a safe legal abortion yesterday, blame Alvin Holmes callous rant. Not. According to a report by the Kaiser Foundation African American women obtained the majority of legal abortions in Alabama.
Ill doctrine
says racism is not about that thing you said, it's about that thing you
did. Let's be clear about what Alabama House republicans did, not what Alabama State Rep.Alvin Holmes said.
Alabama House republicans voted for more children born into poverty blame Alvin Holmes. Snark

And all these issues adversely and disproportionately affect black and brown Alabamians.
The ides that this is not racially motivated is ludicrous. Slavery followed by Jim Crow was overt, what we have now is covert.
It can even go to our base natures. We are psychologically programmed to prefer and select those other people who look and act like ourselves.
Until we break down the barriers and the institutionalized racism and create equality, not just lip-service, it will not change.
Standing by and ignoring or pretending this doesn't exist as a fact of our lives and existence is shameful and evil.

But none dare call it racist/racism. Thanks for my topic for the day. :)
I agree with Yellowdog but also say that can also be sad for black racism!

What does any of that have to do with republicans passing a bill that will prevent pool/black women from having access to a safe, legal, abortion? Stay on topic. This is your warning.
AGAIN you said it prevent all women why constantly say poor black women?
Again, because this bill does not affect ALL women. This bill adversely and disproportionately affects black and brown Alabamians.
