Spike Lee's place in Martha's Vineyard.

Director Spike Lee, in a recent interview with CNN, called the United State Supreme Court’s 6-3 ruling declaring a race-based redistricting map in Louisiana an “attack on voters.”
“They’re going to be movies and documentaries about this period of the United States of America. With this guy in the White House — just down the block, right?” Spike Lee said of President Donald Trump. “It’s not the first this country’s been through stuff. And it’s found a better way to live and we gotta work at it.”
“Let’s realize, black folks, we got a lot of our stuff through voting,” the Malcolm X and BlacKkKlansman director said. “So, you know what the game plan is when you see this attack on voters. So, we know what they’re doing.”
Writing for the majority in the case, Louisiana v. Callais, No. 24–109 in the Supreme Court of the United States, Justice Samuel Alito accused lower courts of enforcing race-based discrimination as a mean to eradicate race-based discrimination. “Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was designed to enforce the Constitution — not collide with it. Unfortunately, lower courts have sometimes applied this Court’s §2 precedents in a way that forces States to engage in the very race-based discrimination that the Constitution forbids,” Justice Alito wrote.
“This tension between §2 and the Constitution came to a head when Louisiana redrew its congressional districts after the 2020 census. In 2022, a federal judge in the Middle District of Louisiana held that the map adopted by the state legislature likely violated §2 because it did not include an additional majority-black district,” Justice Alito explained. “But when the State drew a new map that contained such a district, its new map was challenged as a racial gerrymander.

The complainers never see Voters they just see Color
I call most of what Spike Lee creates and says to be an attack on good taste, not to mention racist.
This clown says what??
Who gives a rats A zz!!!
I expected more from this hack... “I am very cross with the USSC”
treating everyone equally in an attack on voters
If Spike Lee hates it, I love it
Spike doesn’t care about voters. He only cares about black voters and their vote harvesting scams. And states requiring proof of citizenship to vote. Going by the Congressional Black Caucus of show boaters and utter boobs .... the blacks votes are picking the worst to send to DC.
Who cares what Spike Lee says.
and blacks voted in all the great leaders in the special districts , Waters , Sheila Jackson Lee etc etc
Mr. Lee: “Let’s realize, black folks, we got a lot of our stuff through voting,”

Pure racist politics. He wants black people to all think the same way. It’s made him a lot of money, and he’s trying to protect that.
Of course he did, because Spike Lee is a race baiter. It is the only reality he knows.
bttt
Wow spike Lee said that ! Very interesting

“Dey gonna put us back in chainzzzzzzz!”
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.

The complainers never see voters. They only see democrats
