INSOMNIA STREAM： WHITE SUPREMES
Stream Summary
This stream, hosted by Devon Stack, explores the history and evolution of U.S. immigration law, focusing on the legal definition of “white” in citizenship eligibility and the Supreme Court’s 1923 decision regarding Bhagat Singh Thind. The discussion covers the Naturalization Act of 1790, subsequent amendments, and the impact of the McCarran-Walter Act (1952) and the Immigration Act of 1965. The host analyzes the consequences of changing racial qualifications for citizenship, the role of political and religious figures, and the broader cultural and demographic shifts in America. The stream also features commentary on Supreme Court justices, legislative history, and the influence of external groups and ideologies on U.S. policy. Audience hyperchats address topics such as religious debates, nonprofit formation, historical documentaries, and personal anecdotes.
