Looks like Republicans won the House by explicitly defying court orders to allow Black representation

The craziest part is about it is that they did this in states they already historically win at everytime. It was made hard for no reason no hmo


These aren't state seats though, they're US House seats. The Republicans are using their control in individual states to rig the votes and fukk up the whole country.

They couldn't do that before because it's unconstitutional to fukk up Black representation like that and the Voting Rights Act blocked them from even trying. But the right-wing Supreme Court rewrote the Voting Rights Act so that it can't do shyt anymore.

Reminder: the average republican either was old enough to be on the front lines opposing civil rights, or were children at the time listening to their parents talk about how awful it is that 'those nigras don't know their place' this is who they've always been and if you're black and a republican that is who you're rocking with.

For those who didn't follow it, judges blocked racially biased congressional maps in Louisiana, Alabama, and Florida that were purposely created to eliminate Black congressional seats.


The the Trump-led Supreme Court came through and overturned the judges' decisions, letting those states keep their anti-Black congressional maps.

And it looks likely that that will literally be the difference giving Republicans control of the House of Representatives, thus knocking 5 Black chairmen of Congressional Committees and 20+ Black subcommittee chairs out of power.

Those Congress people were not delivering tangibles for FBA. It’s much better to have white Republicans take their place. I like my racism out in the open.

Here's the background:


Alabama Republicans eliminated a Black congressional seat. Federal judge told them they had to reinstate it.









Supreme Court stepped in, and the 3 Trump judges + Sam Alito and Clarence Thomas said, "Nah, you don't actually have to, go ahead and keep the racist maps for this election."

Now only 1 out of 7 Congressional districts (14%) is majority-black, even though the state's population is over 25% Black.





This is EXACTLY what the Voting Rights Act was supposed to stop, and what the conservative justices destroyed when they gutted the VRA without a legislative vote and said Southern States don't need to seek prior approval for denying Black representation anymore.
pay a few blacks to lead the rest to not vote or vote against their best interests......Been an old yet very effective ploy
