They’ll still be represented
This isn’t the 1st time he’s called for it:
quote:
Tennessee State Representative Antonio Parkinson (D-Memphis) is calling on Memphis to secede from the state of Tennessee following a redistricted map that will likely ensure no Democratic representation in the state.
They’ll still be represented
quote:
“This is no longer simply about maps,” said Rep. Parkinson. “This is about whether Memphis — a majority-Black economic engine for this state — is expected to continue contributing billions in tax revenue, culture, labor, and commerce while being systematically stripped of political power," Parkinson said.
This isn’t the 1st time he’s called for it:
quote:
Parkinson also called for the City of Memphis to secede from the State of Tennessee back in 2018.

"a majority-Black economic engine for this state — is expected to continue contributing billions in tax revenue, culture, labor, and commerce while being systematically stripped of political power," Parkinson said."

So a Democrat.
It’s blatantly obvious what their beef is. They want carte blanche from the federal government to be as openly racist as they want to be. SCOTUS said ‘NO’ and now they’re pitching a fit.
