It will get thrown out again.
Judge Dickhead can have her moment, SCOTUS will shut this down in about 2 seconds.

That's the point. The state has racial division in housing and residences. Black citizens comprise 32.4% of Louisiana's population. White Republicans in the Legislature have gerrymandered the congressional maps along racial lines to dilute black vote to the point that black citizens can elect no more than one of six U.S. reps. That's 32.4% of the population who can not elect any more than 16% of the representatives.
You are correct, racial gerrymandering is illegal. That's why the judge ruled the way she did.

Because they’re voting for the wrong guy
If they voted for the right guy they could elect all 6

You're complete f****** idiot aren't you... And a disingenuous one at that. The majority of the black population in the entire state lives by your state lives between Baton Rouge and New Orleans, but There is also a large population in the Delta. To draw 2 districts Is to be majority black is Jerry mandering to epic proportions.
Not to mention, if you do this, You're taking the little bit of power that other minority groups have to effect elections away

No, but white Republicans have already been forced to gerrymander the map to create a single blue district.

Too fricking bad. I bet you don’t feel this way about Republican representation in California or Illinois. It’s not Republicans fault that the black population only votes for black candidates, or that you hold the racist belief that people can only be represented by someone of their same skin color. Likewise, it’s not Republicans fault that the black population is spread out amongst the State’s urban areas such that there is not even a coherent geographic footprint for the one “black” district we have.
I’m sorry that you want to create racist districts whose only commonality is skin color.

You could either try to understand what is going on in the world or you can just spout off whatever outrage comes into your little head.
What I provided is the reasoning likely used by the judge in making her decision. I understand that you can only look at this from the perspective of a white conservative voter who wants to maximize white conservative representation. To you, drawing the maps so that a white population that comprises only about 68% of the population holds 83% of the representation is good, because it is for you.
Too bad you don't perceive the racial gerrymandering in your favor. That's a sign of intentional ignorance.

I notice that you didn't respond substantively to any point I raised.
I am well aware. She is as wrong as you are.
Districts should be drawn with absolutely zero consideration for any demographic information beyond raw population numbers. They should have a focus on geographic continuity, existing administrative boundaries, and commonality of interest amongst the constituents.
Once again, there is zero place for any discussion of race whatsoever. I want them geographically coherent with no regard whatsoever to any demographic factor. That way people within administrative communities can elect someone to represent their areas.
The only reason that LA's map is currently gerrymandered is because the 2nd District had to be created by snaking it up the river from New Orleans to Northern EBR, excluding most of the areas in between in a way that eliminates ALL commonality of interest for the constituents EXCEPT for the fact that they are mostly black-skinned. There are NO, I repeat NO local issues that impact both someone living in Scotlandville and someone living in New Orleans East.
I'll ask again, why do you hold the racist belief that people can only be properly represented in Congress by someone with their own skin color? We do not have proportional representation in this country, and it is unequivocally NOT required by the Voting Rights Act.
Judge Dick, as usual on constitutional or tangentially political issues, is wrong and will be overruled.

In what world can a white person only be represented by a white politician and a black person by a black politician? It's patently absurd. Section 2 of the VRA even says that nothing in the act is to be construed as requiring proportional representation by race, etc...
