Except Landry had the 6th district lines redrawn because, as he said, we needed another black district. As far as Landry allying with Trump, he has gotten to be podnas with DJT, Jr taking him on alligator hunts annually.

Typically, those of Vietnamese descent vote GOP overwhelmingly. Yet, they really don't want anyone from the GOP or Dems involved in their community at all. I learned this in the 2008 campaign.

How does a skin color turn someone into a fine upstanding political leader?


The black political leaders that residents have elected have not fared well.

Teedy used the mayors office as her personal vacation club to visit every country and continent in the world and is now indicted.

Mr Chocolate city just got out of jail. William Jefferson was sentenced to 13 years. Broome looks like she’s headed to be indicted.

60 mins is wondering why Louisiana citizens stay away from black politicians? The results are slapping them in the face….

I really don't think so. Cubans, for example, have assimilated well into the USA.

What if I told you that whites were the only ones that didn’t vote down racial lines

Wrong, that was Obama appointed Federal judge Shelly Dick that said they needed another black district.

Correct, I think blacks vote something close to or over 90% for a black candidate over a white one. Race is the most important factor to that group…

When asked if he cared if Louisiana didn't have a black Representative he should have said, they can all be black, or all Asian, or all Hispanic as long as the voters have a chance to fairly elect who they think is the best candidate based on the content of their character.


the best candidate based on the content of their character

pulling it straight from MLK!

I say this as someone who used to despise him to my core, but could Landry have a future on the national stage? I could see an America that voted for Trump twice (or three times haha) being attracted or at least intrigued by Jeff Landry.


He can not hold a candle to some of the National Republican Leaders currently. He may tap out as a Cabinet Secretary if he gets lucky though.

Or Asians which Louisiana has had as a Governor for 2 terms named Bobby Jindal.

The left doesn’t give a rats arse if black people are represented by black representatives. They only care if they are leftists, and if they are also black, then so much the better.

We could have done like Alabama and kept the 2022 map which nothing happened to Alabama for going against the SCOTUS ruling

And don’t forget about the Asians.

They never whined about not having people that looked like them as a prerequisite to succeed.

I must say they do not ever learn. The democrats have used or abused them throughout the history of this country to their very own demise.

This may sound stupid but black represent a little over 10% of the United States pop. Then media magnifies this whole bs narrative to keep them on the reservation. If it wasnt for votes , "they, the liberal mass media would not give a frick about black people". This is the wild thing to me is that blacks as a whole dont see this and do something about it. In the end, the media is magnifying the belief that blacks need representatives based on color or race and not merit. End of Story.

It is the only argument to make whenever there is a discussion. Look at the number of Asians or Hispanics that are elected in this country. Not one of them has a special district.

What a stupid media shill question. As of a few thousand early votes was too much of a burden to delay an election map that was ruled unconstitutional.
And to use wartime elections as a whataboutist justification for electing illegal representatives in illegal districts is just the icing on the shill cake.

If race is a defining trait for political districting, why don’t we have widespread Hispanic gerrymandering? There are far more Hispanic people in the US than black.
