You could make up for it with a few more 'community organizers'.
I bet the Republicans in the legislature would be very happy to accomodate another “black” district.
Why not make lemonade out of this lemon, and come up with a way to add plenty more black voters to the Jim Moran district and maybe get rid of this individual in exchange for a black guy to be named later?
Hmmmmm, I guess the black caucus does not like “diversity” in their districts.
“...to have one black member of Congress is “not representative”
What a pathetic token thing to say; this is an admission of inferiority, an inability to win outside of a gerrymandered district. Let’s just give them 10% of the land and be done with them; they can have 100% representation, and pay for 100% of the costs they incur...
Can we PLEASE stop sorting people by melanin level?? Please?
“I guess the black caucus does not like diversity in their districts.”
Actually, they seem quite comfortable with a slim majority; maybe they know SOMEONE has to pay the taxes necessary to feed, clothe, house, and “educate” them.
Say whut?? How do you "maximize their opportunity" to elect someone by NOT making them the majority in the district? Send them a couple extra thugs to stand in front of the polls with blackjacks?
Can *we* stop sorting people by melanin?
Why don’t you ask the blacks and the Democrats?
They seem to want to.
B..b..but diversity is our strength!
Well, I meant **we** as a nation.
I'm sorry, how insensitive of me. African-American Jacks. Jacks of color. There.
I guess they think that they need a Shelia Jackson Lee or Maxine Waters to fairly represent 20% of the state population? This is what gerrymandering produces. I would rather have a great rep of whatever color rather than such as these. It seems as their 20% has not produced any worthy leaders.
Absolutely. The GOP in the VA General Assembly would be proud to draw a 50 percent voting-age African American congressional district. It would about guarantee a more bullet-proof GOP delegation.
for your VA ping list
So liberal logic would/should have the goobermint dictate
the NBA be made up of 87% white players,correct?
Blacks being 13% of the population.
That way you would have a league that “looks like” America.
I’ve seen that example before; maybe the immigration from Eastern Europe will make it a reality (though I’m not holding my breath). As more of the “token” jobs go to Hispanics (due to higher numbers, both parties courting them, etc.), it was thought blacks would lose their lust for quotas. Apparently not...
“I guess they think that they need a Shelia Jackson Lee or Maxine Waters to fairly represent 20% of the state population? This is what gerrymandering produces.”
Your absolutely right; gutter trash that just happens to run that particular plantation. I really miss that Cynthia McKinney freak; she acted like something from the Maury show...
I started to add Cynthia to the list, but then figured I would need to add Rangle and others.
