In this clip, Speaker Johnson says maps that gave Black voters representation "divided Americans."
This is the exact language used by segregationists and opponents of the Civil Rights movement to attack figures like MLK. They are using the same playbook to destroy his legacy.

James Baldwin said it in 1965 and it has not aged a single day:
The reason Americans cannot face their history is that the history indicts their identity.
And you cannot ask someone to accept the evidence that destroys who they think they are.
White Americans, he said, need the Black American to remain inferior, because their own superiority is the only thing that makes sense of a country built on those terms.
The same structure applies outward.
Americans need the rest of the world to remain in need of American guidance, American intervention, American rescue.
Because without that story, what exactly was all the violence for?
The empire doesn't just extract resources.
It extracts meaning.
And the people who built their inner lives on that meaning will fight as hard to keep it as any general ever fought to keep territory.
Harder, maybe.
You can negotiate territory.
You cannot negotiate with someone's need to believe they are one of the good ones.
Trump after the shooting: “I ask that all Americans recommit with their hearts in resolving our differences peacefully."
He really said ‘revolve our differences peacefully’ as the US and Israel are dropping bombs on Lebanon, Gaza & Iran.
Violence is all the US empire knows.
On the left is what Israel did to Gaza. On the right is what Israel did to Southern Lebanon. Anyone who cannot see that it is Israel who is the terrorist cannot see reality.

Israel/US attacking one Iranian university campus after another.
If 3 months ago you told millions of brave Iranians protesting the regime across Iran including on this university campus that by “Help is on the way”, US/Israel mean they will destroy your places of learning, your country’s industrial base and pharmaceutical factories, they would call you crazy.
While Iran is targeting US F-15 fighters jets that invade its airspace…
The US is targeting civilians & bombed Beheshti University today, a public college with free tuition.
We don’t have free college in the US because that money is instead being used to bomb colleges in Iran.
Under Bernie’s 5% billionaire wealth tax, Jamie Dimon would owe $135 million in taxes, he’d still have $2.57 billion in wealth & every senior would get dental, vision & hearing benefits. Seems pretty fair for the CEO of a bank fined $27B for fraud & $290M for the Epstein scandal.
