“States Rights” is an old code phrase for racism, racial discrimination, Jim Crow laws, etc. I DO understand what people mean when they say this phrase.
To be clear, I’m:
Ok, so you really have zero idea about states rights or define racism for that matter
The Meaning Of States’ Rights
Advocates of states’ rights put greater trust and confidence in regional or state governments than in national ones. State governments, according to them, are more responsive to popular control, more sensitive to state issues and problems, and more understanding of the culture and values of the state’s population than are national governments. For these reasons, they argue, state governments are better able to address important problems and protect individual rights. In the United States, states’ rights proponents also have maintained that strong state governments are more consistent with the vision of republican government put forward by the Founding Fathers. They cite in support of their view the Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which reserves for the states the residue of powers “not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States.”
