Supreme Court Rulings and its impact on people of color by August H Mallory

As I begin this story, I  had learned that the supreme court had struck down a civil rights bill that would keep the voting rights act in place,  the supreme court claims that the south has changed,  and this is where I tend to differ,  true enough,  african americans do not wear chains and leg shackles and are no longer sold on the auction block,  true they are not sold to white slave owners and forced to work on plantations to pick cotton. and true enough african americans are no longer subjected to be given 500 lashes on their naked behinds if they run away from their owners,  but the question is has the south really changed, maybe it has from what we once knew it,  but the institutionalism of racism is ever so prevelent,  you can still see prejudice in the attitudes of many whites in the south,  the 14th amendment allows a person to go whereever they choose within the state that they reside  but in various states in the south if you are  african american, the 14th amendment does not apply to you.  but then this attitude doesn't just exist in the south,  its all over the united states. racism still exist in america, and the supreme court of the united states needs to take a closer look at what they are striking down. 
the right to vote was fought for minorities and women across america, and now such a law that was fought for so strongly is now being taken away.  but the supreme court will allow same sex marriages, how disgusting,  two men cannot produce,  two women cannot produce,  it will take one man and one women to produce an offspring,  the gay and lesbian communities need to wake up.  and read what the bible says about homosexuality and the consequences of it,  people may sing, dance, and rejoice over ruling of same sex marriages but trust me my friends,  almighty god is not rejoicing over this, he is very upset over this, and when those in the gay community stands before all mighty god they will have to give account for what they have done,  hell is very real,  the lake of fire is very real,  but if this is the life people want then I can only pray that almighty god will spare their soul'
