Alabama Lawmakers Refuse to Create 2nd Majority-Black Congressional District
Alabama has refused to create a second majority-Black congressional district. The decision Friday could defy an order from the U.S.
If there are no consequences here…that means states can just keep enforcing gun bans SCOTUS deemed unconstitutional and that all rulings from the Supreme Court have no merit.
As there are no real consequences for the corruption in the supreme court, there will be none for those who ignore their decisions.
“Now let them enforce it” -Some racist dickhead president the Orange One idolizes-
And yet, they're 10th in line holding their hands out for federal funding. Seems like it's time to shut off the tap and see how strong their disgusting ass convictions are.
And new instance is created ... Alabama's Disgusting Ass Convictions.
jk lol
Never go full ADAC
Funny how the people who claim to oppose racism are up in arms that race isn't the driving factor in districting. Almost like they're not opposed to racism at all, they just want to use it for their own ends.
Opposing districting that is explicitly designed to lessen the voting power of black people isn't opposing racism?
They fully recognize race is a factor. They are only recognizing two distant areas with a high population of black people shouldn't be one district. If you look at the map it's grouping two random areas together that's are not even close and it just happens to be areas with more black people. Democrats recognize race and that it plays a factor in this country, republicans deny race exists and that it plays a factor while designing a system that systematically targets people of color.
Have you read about a decade before the 1960s?
Racism already is a driving factor in how Republicans draw district maps. There is no other plausible explanation for why there has never been more than one Black representative in a state in which over a quarter of voters are Black.
It's not racist to be capable of identifying the effects of racism. It's not racist to try to eliminate the effects of racism.
why do the Democrats want to redistrict? is it because they're losing? some other reason?
1/7 districts (14%) were majority black, but the population is 27% black. The argument was that the black voters were unfairly concentrated into one district and diluted into the other 6 so as to limit their effective representation in the government.
Why wouldn't you want to redistrict when it's been gamed for minority rule?
Why do Republicans want to disobey a court order? Is it because they are lawbreakers?
Do sea lions like fish?
