The Voting Right Act served its purpose back in the 60’s when congressional were being drawn in southern states to dilute black votes for Raciest Intent. Fast Forward to modern times it’s kind of outdated in its intent. Now both parties want to their party to the biggest advantage in redistricting as possible and if happens to be a partisan or racial gerrymander so be it. So essentially there no need for that part of the voting right act anymore.
Harvard said it was fine to be racially discriminatory as long as they referred to it as "diversity".
Democrats in all 50 states redefined "woman" to duck gender fairness in voting AND non-voting districts across the country — even going so far as to rewrite laws that, in many cases, mandate gender discrimination.
Redistricting is political corruption.
Wow🧍♀️I’m surprised how these white republicans keep running our state when majority of what I’ve seen is black liberals/independents. And I’m from north Louisiana 🫢
Well why not? We've already changed the definition of woman and recession.
It just can't believe huh they are so successful at convincing you to vote democratic. The republican part is your party black people. Wake up and stop falling for the hoodwinke.. the democratic is the party of the k.k.k
Did you notice where they picked your pockets?
Ill be voting Red and im White
There is no part of the South that is not garbage.
This woman said a whole bunch of racist black, black, black mumbo jumbo that didn't make any sense. We see right through you MSNBC and it doesn't work anymore.
Lmao 🤣🤣🤣 let's do the racial draft the black delegation except tiger woods.
It's so sad that the left want to try and make stuff about racism. And always around election time.
Wow 😯 I’m from New Orleans I totally agree she right
I hope they try to define white too, just to, you know, make things even.🙄
If Democrats get in power this wouldn't happen ,,, wait a minute!!!
Let's redefine stupid…..a lousiana politician.
Speaking of LA, the Democratic candidate challenging Steve "The Sleaze" Scaliese is exceptional, a rising star ⭐ I first heard about her when Velshi highlighted her. Love to hear more from her, even though she is up against steep odds of winning in such a red district, but 🤞
Vote blue and get rid of the loser party
And the lies just continue.
REPEAL THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT!
So the ability to check DNA and identify one drop of black blood has now revealed that EVERYBODY has at least one drop of black blood is making GOP racists go Apeshit, wait until they learn that ALL humans on earth ARE apes!🤔🤣😂😭🙏
Are they black?
Yeah, they have been pulling this kind of stunt for DECADES.
Next thing you know kanye show up at one of trump qanon hates rallies with that finger thing in the air…YIKES
Alex Wagner is black!
