LOL!
Apt name.
...this kind of thing has been going on for a while in NC...we have one DOJ/Court-ordered congressional district that’s laid out specifically to ensure a black Congressman...it’s over 60 miles long and some places only a mile wide....what DOJ did in Kinston was racial gerrymandering...but what else can we expect from a black Attorney General?
The federal government poking its nose into local elections? Where was that power enumerated from?
That’s something for silly white people.
Don't use Bush for an example. His justice department circumvented state sovereignty by sending in his thugs to arrest medical pot smokers despite the state legalizing it. Right or wrong, the state made a decision that only affected folks within their borders and Bush poked his nose into it. Wrong is wrong no matter what party you belong to. He should have been the example, but he let us all down.
But what else can we expect from a racist black attorney general with a chip on his shoulder.
More accurate.
I imagine if a black conservative would take a mighty good portion of the votes over 50%.
This country isn’t as racist as the media and the dems keep saying.
Hmmm...The justice dept is saying that black candidates can’t get elected on thier own merit?
Non partisan elections are common in other parts of the country. Will the federal government somehow declare they are no longer valid? When they can use their authority like that it is yet another sign of danger.
After the 1990 census determined that North Carolina was 22 percent black, the state's redistricting created a black-majority congressional district. President George H.W. Bush's Justice Department deemed this insufficient under the 1965 Voting Rights Act. Hence the creation of North Carolina's 12th District, which slithers 160 miles down Interstate 85.

Yes my friend, so I'd heard.
Rush spoke at some length Tuesday concerning this atrocity perpetrated by our inJustice Department. Thanks for the nudge, though. ;^)
"All this does is prove the Bell Curve and blacks should be ashamed of themselves over this! I am."
You're an anachronism, dear friend.
"Shame's" fallen from grace. Rendered moot. It's the age of anything goes, don'tcha know? Thank Clintigula for the potentially lethal, culture killing change in the Republic's paradigm.
BTW, welcome to the forum.
Your "Born On" date's my bride's birthday, impossible for me to forget. LOL
