All Roads Lead To The South rally brings old and new generations together in fight for black voting rights

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 is part of the Civil Rights Era’s worst showings. It is racist and a violation of individual rights. It says that certain areas can be recognized based on race. This is highly problematic. The reality of race in this country is only exacerbated by the attempt to equalize everyone not based on the law but in outcomes.

There should be no voting act for blacks and others just as there should be no legislation for whites in this country. These special favors for a few continue to deteriorate the body electorate over time. If there is to be another two hundred and fifty years of this nation, it must start with identifying everyone as potentially rational and upright morally.

Democrats recently flocked to Montgomery, Alabama, a one time hot bed for racial injustice now turned into a rallying center for the gutted Act. It seems as if they’re whining to get votes that might not be in their favor. They’re pleading to the government to not change the way that lines are drawn on the political map.

The irony is that the Voting Rights Act is so corrupt that it seeks to change skin color from a nonessential to a priority. This is embarrassing. What may have been a step in the right direction now displays a way for Dems to wail and cry about a non-primary right. Voting is a function of a free (or at least semi-free) nation and only the right to it should be exercised based on the public who qualifies, usually residents of the United States and over eighteen years of age.

Why is there no FIRM (For Individual Rights Movement)? The Civil Rights Movement launched people in the wrong direction, totally. The cry during the mid twentieth century was “Equality and Jobs.” Also, some signs read “I am a Man.” When in the history of humanity have people marched with signs that read that? That was probably one of the only picket signs which cut into the consciousness of Americans. It said, especially, that black men could be counted on as responsible adults who run businesses and stand as head of household. This demonstrates the level of racism that predominated the sphere of politics and business in all parts of the country, particularly the South.

Today, there needs to be a shift away from the collectivistic and backwards ideals of the past and show the truth about what it means to be an individual who is rational and selfish in their deportment. That’s what FIRM would look like. It would be a fine and upstanding representation of the men and women who have had ancestors beaten, tortured, raped, shot, dismembered, castrated and had their genitals stuffed in their mouth, set ablaze and strung up in a tree to finally say no to all of that.

FIRM would blast away all of the nonsense that populates the political diaspora, yes. But it would also be structured to sustain moral fortitude. It would be built upon not “Equality and Jobs” but “Reason and Individualism.”

The best way to describe it is to consider how the smallest minority––the individual––can survive, thrive, and flourish into something even more rewarding because collectivist thought is a callus on the mind of most people.

They feel like they must be lumped into a category based on hair texture, eye color, and skin tone. In truth, none of these things matter in the realm of ideas.

FIRM would show that there is an ethical basis to all governance. It would show the reality behind this nation as it upholds the virtues of reason, individualism, and capitalism as outlined by Ayn Rand.
