MS NOW Analyst: GOP Moves = 'American Version of Apartheid'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelsein

Posted on 05/10/2026 10:22:58 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

n a wildly inflammatory segment on Saturday's edition of The Weekend: Primetime, MS NOW analyst Basil Smikle declared Republican-led redistricting and other moves tantamount to “an American version of apartheid.”

In his view, restricting black civic engagement "rings very true to an American version of apartheid.”

Earlier in the segment, law professor James Sample admitted that the Virginia Supreme Court’s decision striking down the Democrat mid-decade power grab was “probably right on the law” — before declaring it a “disaster for our democracy” anyway.

It’s official: the SCOTUS VRA decision and the overturning of Virginia’s redistricting referendum have caused the left to lose its collective mind.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Of course, MS NOW has it backwards and upside down. “Apartheid” is what the Dems were doing: drawing congressional maps along racial lines. Dems are also the ones who support segregating graduation ceremonies by race.

Their opening gambit is slander, and nothing they say can be taken at face value.

The court has restored “one man one vote” to its rightful place and they absolutely hate it.

Progressive journalism is ruining this country.

South Africa was a mostly empty place of people when the Dutch moved in. They built a properous high trust society. The rest of Africa noticed and started moving in . In order to maintain political control the Africaners implemented Apartheid.

The Soviet Union, eager to deny the resources of Africa to the United States, took advantage of the racial strife and turned the government Communist.

South Africa is now a failed state. The remaining Whites are being systematically murdered and oppressed.

When the Left starts accusing the US of Apartheid be aware of the kind of future awaiting us if they win.

And black South Africans are attacking illegals from other African countries. So much for black solidarity.

law professor James Sample admitted that the Virginia Supreme Court’s decision striking down the Democrat mid-decade power grab was “probably right on the law” — before declaring it a “disaster for our democracy” anyway

From A Man For All Seasons:

“William Roper: “So, now you give the Devil the benefit of law!”

Sir Thomas More: “Yes! What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?”

William Roper: “Yes, I'd cut down every law in England to do that!”

Sir Thomas More: “Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned 'round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to coast, Man's laws, not God's! And if you cut them down, and you're just the man to do it, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake!”

To the left, the law is a tool for the revolution, to be manipulated as necessary. To the rest of us, it is the one wall that keeps us from tyranny and true injustice.

Blacks have gotten used to that preferential treatment.
They don’t want it to go away.

Stupid nonsense.

“Red States Press Forward with Gerrymandering Push” - Lies. You want to say those Louisiana districts being removed is gerrymandering? It was gerrymandered *before.* They are reducing gerrymandering. Gerrymandering is why the Democrats had those seats. On the whole, Democrats will have fewer “safe” seats in *every* state if districts are drawn to be more compact and contiguous.

restricting black civic engagement

No. Nobody’s vote has been taken away. This is not complicated. Basil seems to believe black people need special treatment in order to engage. He must believe in white supremacy or he would know blacks and other minorities already have the power to succeed on a level playing field if they compete with ideas, policy, well thought-out plans, and figure out how to form coalitions of people with like minds and/or similar needs. People actually do vote for people who “don’t look like them”.

Wait... Black people having their own separate voting districts ISN’T Apartheid? But having them vote in the same districts as White people IS...? Uh... so confused right now.
