There’s some controversy over the new cover of the NAACP’s quarterly journal The CRISIS that depicts Justice Antonin Scalia with a Confederate bandana.
The cover is a result of some choice of words the conservative justice said when he called the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (an act that prohibits discriminatory voting practices) a “perpetuation of racial entitlement.”
Check out what people are saying about it:
