Someone explain this SCOTUS thing like I’m 12

Democrats aren't able to do democrat things as easily now. They big mad.

are blacks mad

Usually, but I don't think they care about this one.

Do you think it’s fair to form a Congressional district that doesn’t even approach being a regular shape with the intention of producing a demographic within said district that is super majority black population so that you ensure that a Democrat always wins the election?

That’s what SCOTUS just ruled unconstitutional.

Blacks aren't collectively mad about anything until white liberals spoon-feed the outrage to them.

Democrat position: Not being able to be racist is racist.

I wish they'd stop talking and just come after us already. Getting tired of waiting.

That La. Legislator must be a product of this states public education system.Probably N.O.IDIOTS like that are the reason this country is in the shape it’s in.Democrats are nothing more than sheep being led to the slaughter by their leaders and don’t know it.

are blacks mad just because it “goes against” blacks in their eyes?

Democrats need blacks to continue to believe they are victims of constant oppression by whites and that only Democrats can save them. Because of this they desperately hang on to the acts of racism of many decades past (Jim Crow, slavery, red-lining, etc) by trying to perpetuate that it's still going on today.

One of their tools they used was a part of the Voting Rights Act which had been interpreted over the years into the stance that the percentage of a state's population should equate to their representation in elected offices, even to the point of creating special voting districts where they had enough population to pretty much ensure a black candidate would win regardless of anything else. This sometimes meant states had to create extremely bizarre voting districts, such as the one Cleo Fields currently holds (and what was the subject of this case) due to the black population being spread out too sparsely.

This is what happened with the district Cleo Fields now holds. Prior to the current district map, a federal judge said there was enough black population that there should be two black-majority districts in the state. In order to make that happen, the legislature had to create a district that stretches from Baton Rouge up to Shreveport.

That was challenged in court because the Constitution bans gerrymandering via a few different methods. The majority of the SCOTUS agreed that gerrymandering on race is unconstitutional unless there is specific proof of race being used to deny voting rights.

So now voting districts cannot be created just to satisfy some racial quota and that's going to hurt the Democrats tremendously due to that quota aspect being a large part of why and how they have been able to hold as many offices as they have even while having batshit crazy ideas.
