You might want to look up slavery, the civil war, the KKK, lynching, the failure of reconstruction, segregation, the daughters of the confederacy, the myth of the lost cause, the glorification of the Confederacy in the 21st Century, MAGA paramilitary groups, neo-Nazis, and your soul.

Think about it.
I did. You are a racist, for completely ignoring reality and promoting Jim Crow memes.
The actual situation is NOT an assumption. 81% of Black Americans said that if the 2026 midterm elections were held today, they would vote for the Democratic candidate over a Republican candidate.
But it looks like maths is not your forte.
PS: I will concede that Nicki Minaj and Kanye might go Republican.

No, but this is the strawman you're going with, it'ss not like Maths works in your favor.
I would tell you more, but this means I will have to explain how elections work, and that might be too much for your brain to handle.
So, believing that black voters have minds of their own and are individuals each with their own thoughts and opinions makes me a racist? Interesting take.

That's what the Supreme Court says.
But if you're really sure about your logic, having a majority black district shouldn't scare anyone either because it could potentially vote Republican!
So why did they cancel an ongoing election to redraw the map? They should have trusted black constituents could vote Republican!
You see now that it's Partisan gerrymandering? SCOTUS shouldn't have intervened.

@eMortal And of course no jerrymandering occured to get that majority black district, eh
eMortal · M
@sunsporter1649 it happened. SCOTUS has refused to get into Partisan gerrymandering in the past. Why now? Because the case of disguised as a racial issue. The loophole the GOP found.
sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M
@eMortal Nope, the loophole SCOTUS closed, now you demonocrats will have to rely on the quality of your ideas, not the color of one's skin to win elections

So eliminate "congressional districts" entirely and assign seats by proportional representation.
There's no reason to tie politicians to any specific areas at all unless you think groups of people have a reason to be grouped together.

@DealingWithTrouble There is some rational basis for geographic districts on the basis of local communities having local issues best understood by the people who live there.
DealingWithTrouble · 41-45, M
@justbob so you're saying it's a legitimate and important consideration for a representative to speak on behalf of a group of people who have common interests?
Say, like the shared experience of dealing with racism?

@DealingWithTrouble It’s okay to gerrymander for whites, but not blacks.

@SumKindaMunster Democratic thinking? No, it's thinking, not repeating party lines.
Black voters indeed don’t need to be coddled. They need their votes not to be sliced into two or more districts so none of them can elect a representative of their choice.
Gerrymandering isn’t about helping Black communities — it’s about preventing them from having the same political voice everyone else takes for granted.
Equal representation isn’t charity. It’s democracy.
When the government chooses the voters instead of the voters choosing the government, that’s not destiny. That’s manipulation.

Voting as a community could maybe once have been a human right. ROFL,,!
Anything goes! You're civic incapable. Community makes absolutely no sense in a brutal society! Like this!
