Ron crushing it again - end race based districts in Fl, and there are children in the room

Listen to those stupid animals screaming in the background.

All gerrymandering is wrong and especially those done off strictly racial lines. It gives us unimpeachable candidates that have no motivation to represent their state or country effectively.

Louisianas second.

Can someone explain this like I'm a spermatozoa?

What is a "race-based district" exactly? When a certain demo is a majority?

Race is used both as a proxy for political party and for racialized politics in general.

If a state has a majority of white voters over black voters, and the population is generally distributed evenly throughout the state, there will not be any majority black districts.

Even in a state with say, 40% black population, and the major cities are predominantly black, you can often only count on one or two districts to be predominantly black, so even then, black people (and Dems generally) think it’s unfair since they won’t get 40% of the district seats.

However, if you simply stop seeing people as either black or white voting blocks, with blacks always voting Democrat, and divide up the state by geographic regions, you probably won’t have any (or very many) minority party districts.

I’d love to know what they are screaming so that I could enjoy it with my morning coffee
