It's a fair ruling. African Americans currently only have 14% representation in the state when they are almost 27% of the population.
Can people only be represented by someone that matches their race?
What if an African American votes for a white candidate?
Is that legitimate?

It’s more about the political party and /or those who support their interests than race. So they won’t have a problem with a white candidate who fits the mold.

The Court's ruling is likely to affect the identity of the newly-drawn district boundaries by political party, not by the racial identification of the winning candidate.

The only way this happens is if the AA is (R), and whitey is a (D)
