Democrats weaponizing race only further divides the country

Last month the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments in a case from a Colorado web designer who doesn’t want to work on same-sex weddings. Using a photo shoot scene from the 1946 film “It’s a Wonderful Life” as a hypothetical, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson suggested the designer’s argument could be used to endorse racial discrimination. For example, a photographer in a mall wants to take “old-time” photos of Christmas scenes, and he only wants to take photos of White children. Would that photographer be allowed to do that? Straight Arrow News contributor believes this is only one of many attempts by the Left to link race to polarizing issues and will end up dividing the country even further.

The issue of race and building race relationships is no doubt a long and complicated thread in the woven fabric of our nation’s history, and yet the issue of race has continued to be used as a tool by the Democrat Party, not an effort to try to build race relationships to unify the company, but rather to divide. They’re dedicated to dividing the country instead of trying to fix what is broken down mostly because of public policy to keep certain people trapped in certain zip codes.

The matter of race is weaponized in pushing unrelated Leftist opinions and policies on a very regular basis. The perception of racism exists in any and all instances that are useful to Democrats for promoting their left-wing ideology. They badger, they beat, they demonize the Right by interjected race.

Most recently, a case before the Supreme Court centered on whether Colorado’s anti-discrimination laws violate the First Amendment by compelling a website designer to create a same-sex wedding website. The Supreme Court’s newest member, Judge Jackson, wasted no time in making the far-flung case that this debate is linked to racism. Jackson went as far as to suggest that the argument of the website designer in the case could be used to to endorse racial discrimination against people of color in a hypothetical “It’s A Wonderful Life” film-themed photo shoot. This is bizarre for a judge on the United States Supreme Court. What does racism and a movie from 1946 have to do with the religious liberty of a website designer today?
