The one question to ask when debating gerrymandering and black-majority districts
Posted on 5/9/26 at 8:44 am

Why are black voters the only ones who need special districts carved out for them?
Why not Hispanics (roughly equal percentage of the population and “close enough” socioeconomics)?
No need to get into anything else. Just that one question has so many rabbit holes to go down and none of them defensible.

Hispanics are 20% of population vs 13 for blacks and far ahead socioeconomically and generally keep their families intact similar to whites and Asians.
By 2050 Hispanics will be 30% of population and Blacks under 12. More blacks will need to become conservative to save their race and repudiate the Great Society if they want seats in Congress.
They’ll scream the loudest and be the most disruptive race but their era of influence is in decline. Obama was their peak and all they got was statues removed and street/school name changes with no betterment of their plight.

Forget the districts from a racial definition and just believe a conservative black is hard to beat in a general election. The democrats are angry for they know this strategy has been exposed which enabled them to only use the black people for votes thought the democrat plank harmed the blacks tremendously.

Race baiting is a whole industry. It was on life support before Obama. He resurrected it and here we are.

They don’t need “special” districts; that’s the problem. Just divide the state into districts, regardless of population mix. Race and party have zero relevance. Just do it.

Because dey wuz Kangz and shite, and dey bees needing their own districts and shite.

Yeah. Blacks really blew a golden opportunity. But a few got wealthy at the expense of the majority. The gradual decline they are about to experience as a race in America when juxtaposed with Hispanics is going to be shocking. They did it to themselves.

Black fragility has been enabled for faaarrrr too long.
Excuses, victimhood and a false sense of pride based on lies they have been brainwashed to believe.
No other race struggles to survive the way blacks struggle.
They need heavy doses of reality with no coddling or pandering.

Absolutely, they voted for Dems who opened the border and accelerated their demise in clout. Not the brightest bulbs.

Cohen and the Democrats spent a lot of money to keep a Republican black woman from representing Memphis.

The left dropped the term melting pot from their lexicon pretty much after the bicentennial.

Blacks needing special district carve outs in 2026 show just pathetic they really are.

Is there another example of any other country on the planet carving out special districts so their minority populations can be represented in government? Do any African countries for example do it? We're all suckers for going along with this kind of stuff for so long.

If republicans can bring hispanics into the fold, it will be game over for democrats.

A) I think that 20% number masks an important truth: The difference between primarily Mexican-born (or second generation) who have been more likely to be convinced they are victims of something versus the more recent influx from other countries (Venezuela, etc) who are more analogous to the African immigrants that do better than native-born blacks. (Leaving aside the Somalia problem.)
B) I don’t agree that they are “far ahead” on socioeconomics. They are moving much faster, though. Again, I would argue that this is being fueled by more recent immigrants from who have not fallen victim to the “oppression” narrative.

There were two groups, if they truly believed in their cause and weren't just in it to enrich themselves, who should have been at the border with a trowel in their hand building that wall: black leaders and "greenies". The two biggest Uncle Toms in my lifetime were Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. They were steppin' and fetchin' to sell out their people for a price to keep blacks on the Democratic plantation.

"They" have a special word for woman like this. I can't recall what it is right now
ETA: Thought of it, Bed Wench. It is the female version of their term House N*gg** and used to mark Blacks that in their mind, act White

In Malaysia, the majority-population natives (Bumiputera) are legally protected to have majority rule in government legislatures. Otherwise, the thinking goes, the minority ethnic Chinese (not PRC immigrants) would run everything.
