1. Stacey Abrams:

   Voter suppression is no longer billy clubs Jim Crow. It's closed polling sites + 6 hr waits w/o pay. COVID is no excuse, who needs to vote in person ? The disabled. The homeless or displaced. Voters w/language barriers. Folks who didn't get their ballots in time. Americans.

2. Republican Rep. Jason Lewis:

   What the welfare state has done to the black community, a hundred years of racism could not do, a hundred years of racism could not break it up, it could not destroy black families. Jim Crow could not do it. But what dependency has done, is has caused unwanted pregnancy, illegitimacy. It has told young black males that they are dispensable, they don't need to hang around when mom needs support or whatever and it has destroyed -- and not just black communities, but any urban community, and so what you've got here is now they're addicted. Large swaths of Hispanic communities, black communities are addicted to these, these subsidies.

3. Jennifer McClellan:

   I drive past a Robert E. Lee statue... every day going into Virginia General Assembly knowing I'm their worst nightmare, a Black woman working to eradicate the legacy of slavery and Jim Crow that they worked to keep in place.

4. Barack Obama:

   And lest we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ, in our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ. Michelle and I returned from India — an incredible, beautiful country, full of magnificent diversity — but a place where, in past years, religious faiths of all types have, on occasion, been targeted by other peoples of faith, simply due to their heritage and their beliefs — acts of intolerance that would have shocked Gandhiji, the person who helped to liberate that nation.

5. President Obama:

   Lest we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ, in our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ. ...So this is not unique to one group or one religion.
