Does anyone have a feel for whether the article is click-bait for the JPost's user demographic? With recent headlines, I'd hope that those folks would already have picked up on America not being any Promised Land of truth & justice.
In my experience, a HUGE proportion of white gentiles don't believe that racism and anti-Semitism exist. Yes, if they vote Dem, they might believe these things exist "in theory." (Maybe they even have a Black Lives Matter sticker.) But almost never in any specific instance. For a specific instance, they'll always find a "logical alternative" to explain the behavior, one that is not racism or anti-Semitism.
People like the goddamned supreme court, who kneecapped the voting rights act just recently.
But yeah, "racism is solved" is their justification, at least until Trump II when then can drop the façade.
Is the point of the article to be a "no, you are not crazy, nor imagining it" reassurance to JPost readers?
My point is about this type of coverage in general, even on topics that might seem "solved" or "obvious" to you.
And even this article in the JPost is a useful reference for a JPost reader to use when a white person says "that never happened," which is EXTREMELY common.
The JPost article is 99% worthless as a rebuttal for "that never happens" denialism - because it has zero cites to original sources. (Or is my AV software erasing a sidebar full of links to supporting government documents?)
"The US Supreme Court says that five factors weigh strongly in favor of overruling Roe and Casey."

"Page 43 of the ruling - https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/21pdf/19-1392_6j37.pdf - states that five factors weigh strongly in favor of overruling Roe and Casey."
