and blacks voted in all the great leaders in the special districts , Waters , Sheila Jackson Lee etc etc
Black voters can still vote for whomever they wish, and black candidates can run for Congress, but fewer black voters will have incumbent black Democrat Congressmen with guaranteed re-election, freeing them to use extreme rhetoric against Republicans and against whites with no political consequences. Black Congressmen may have to consider the views and needs of all of their constituents to be re-elected.
