November's election is still about racism

A hundred women can come forward regarding Kavanaugh. It won't matter.

In today's America, the Republican Party has made every election about racism. And even if Kavanaugh goes down in flames, Trump's voters will still vote for Republican candidates in November.

It's not about Supreme Court nominees. It's not about Republican hypocrisy. It's not about right or wrong, justice or injustice. It's about the racists that have been gerrymandered into a sufficient number of districts to keep Republicans in control of the House.

I hope I'm totally wrong about this. We'll see in November.

If they hold onto the House and Senate, it's just a matter of time before Trump nominates another Kavanaugh, or worse.

If one or both have Black governor elect(s) on the night of November 6, the nation truly has turned a corner, IMO, and there will be no going back.
