    SCOTUS:

    “These low IQ n-words need to get it through their monkey skulls that racism is dead in America! They don’t need these kinds of protections anymore because one, we don’t protect animals, and two racism isn’t here anymore. They’d understand that if they had human brains, but they don’t so they need us to rule over them. Therefore we’re striking down the provisions regarding racial gerrymandering. Racism is dead in America you stupid monkeys.”

    This is a VERY IMPORTANT case that will allow republicans to gerrymander majority black and hispanic districts away in the south, essentially depriving them of representation not to mention giving Republicans a bigger majority in the congress. Guess which way the Supreme White Court will rule?

        Yes. They are currently protected from race-based gerrymandering. The Supreme Court already allowed politics-based gerrymandering, which was race-based by another name, so this won’t change things much more than that. But it will change what color the people are who get elected. They could change 2 majority R districts that are both mostly black into one majority white R district and one majority black R district.

          Ah okay I understand now. I was trying to figure out how they were gonna get more republican seats in states that are already gerrymandered to shit. This changes WHO gets elected.

        These areas are protected from gerrymandering by law. This court case is trying to change that.

        The white supremacists are losing the numbers game, so “something must be done before it’s too late.”

          46 percent in 2065 is still majority white. The people and families with real power will remain to be a way higher ratio that that. I really wish we had some kind of simple messaging to get across to these people that they’re hating the wrong people. We should hate greed. It’s a decision you’re not born with and it actually has inherent negativity.

          Why are people so fucking stupid
