Tennessee State Rep. Justin Jones appeared on MSNOW Sunday and delivered exactly the kind of racialized political rhetoric the modern left has made routine.
The interview centered on Tennessee Republicans’ redistricting push, which would split Memphis into multiple congressional districts and likely weaken the state’s only Democrat congressional seat.
Democrats immediately framed the move as an attack on black voters, while Republicans argued the map was about politics, not race.
Redistricting is political by nature. Both parties use maps to gain power by controlling state legislatures.
Democrats have done the same in states across the country. Massachusetts, for example, has no Republican congressional seats despite being less blue than Tennessee is red. Yet when Republicans act in their own political interest, Democrats suddenly discover a new moral crisis.
Jones did not merely criticize the map. He turned a partisan redistricting fight into a sweeping accusation of racial terror.
During the interview, Jones claimed Republicans were carrying out “policy violence” and compared Tennessee’s GOP lawmakers to the “children of Jim Crow,” Bull Connor and George Wallace.
At one point, he said a Republican leader had “taken off the white hood” but still had the same intentions as those who came before him.
That kind of language is not normal political disagreement. It is a dangerous attempt to paint Republican lawmakers as Klansmen because they support a congressional map Democrats dislike.

I posted this to say two things.
1. The Klan was a born of the democratic party but this idiot is too uneducated to know thst.
2. If we WERE the Klan, this jackass and other race hustlers of his ilk woulda done a disappearing act a long time ago......again, this moron is too thick to realize that.

It’s the same ole tired rhetoric from the left.
Nazis
KKK
Fascists
Racists
etc,etc,etc...
Exactly. The KKK was started in Pulaski, Tennessee by Democrats who hated the fact that blacks were free. It was the paramilitary arm of the Democrat Party that was looking to terrorize blacks into NOT voting for Republicans so that Democrats could stay in power. The irony of Democrats calling Republicans KKK members is galling.
They also hated Catholics, especially ‘Polacks’.
And don’t forget the Jooooose!
And don’t forget the Jooooose!
That goes without saying.
The democrats created Slave Districts and want to keep their Slaves
If the black population in the United States started voted for the political parties in approximately the same ratios as the other socioeconomic groups, then there would not be the same clamor for “majority-minority” congressional districts. Much of the US is now becoming color-blind, a principle stated so long ago by MLK Jr.
Not the color of your skin, but the content of your character.

Free your mind
And the rest will follow
Be colorblind
Don’t be so shallow
The Dims are actually in such an enraged state that they’re talking about “getting rid of” the entire VA Supreme Court and replacing them with their own hand-picked stooges.
As if they have time for this.
And what's old is new again. They still want their slaves. Anyone seen Alejandro Mayorkas?
BOTH SIDES DO IT.
Same old same old. It never changes. Morons can’t think of anything new.
If the White population in this country stuck together like the blacks I would submit that there would more than likely be a hell of a lot less of this jackassery going on to begin with.
But White people are scared to death of the accusation of being racist.
Never in the history of the world has one word had more of a negative influence on a race....it truly is unbelievable and it’s more than likely THE greatest falsehood ever perpetuated in our country.
With covid shots being effective as a close second.
“They also hated Catholics, especially ‘Polacks’.”
Yeah, and that’s why they founded it in a city named Pulaski. Sheesh.
It gets politics and race entirely out of the picture and reduces the travel distance for candidates and representatives.
As I have posted about Maidenhead Grids, I've noticed folks from all parts of the political spectrum are for it, nobody against it.
I just now finally found a good explanation of how it and the sub squares works. Grid Square Locator System Explained
Racial accusations are all the Democrats have left.
They cannot argue their positions - open borders, higher taxes, pro-trans policies including surgeries on children, anti-White, DEI open discrimination, defunding police - and win.
Ask Spencer Pratt in California:
“Los Angeles mayoral hopeful Nithya Raman is desperately backpedaling from her former ‘defund the police’ rhetoric in a dramatic campaign U-turn that could alienate her far-left base.”
