I can see one member of the CBC asking another:
“I suppose putting in that voting rights act that a African-American automatically gets three ballots is not on the table this time?”
Yes, it is.
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is a racist organization.
The United Negro College Fund is a racist organization.
Black Entertainment Television is a racist propaganda channel.
Ebony magazine (if it still exists) is a racist propaganda publication.
I CONCUR.
Republicans should ban all gerrymandering racial and otherwise in any bill offered. That will kill it.
Fine. IIRC, According to the US Census, "Black or African American. This number includes 34.7 million people, or 12.3 percent, who reported only Black."
Of the 435 members of the House, 43 are members of the Black Caucus, which would be 10%. Given that blacks are a minority in many districts that are dominantly white, this is hardly a major disparity.
Done.
Old GK Butterfield is my congress critter. He is from a district carved out just to make it a majority black district because there is no possible way he could be elected in a fair vote. I find it ironic that he is the least bit worried about voter discrimination since my vote is guaranteed not to count.
Voting rights? Someone needs to tell him that democrates always get 95% of the black vote anyway. And they steal the other 5% Black people don’t even need to vote.
I think that’s true with most, if not all of their districts.
You’re absolutely right.
