This long-winded essay about "how the civil rights movement will end" boils down to a couple sentences in which the author describes a few Republican votes he didn't like:<p>"Republican majorities in Southern statehouses are undoing so many of the hard-won gains of the civil rights movement suggests that the end is nigh. Whether it’s by imposing new voter-ID laws, slashing public assistance, refusing Medicaid expansion, or repealing progressive legislation like North Carolina’s Racial Justice Act, the GOP-controlled governments of Southern states are behaving in ways that are at times as hostile to the interests of their African American citizens as Jim Crow Democrats were half a century ago."<p>So his basic thesis is, if you don't believe in welfare you're as hostile to blacks as Jim Crow.
