So basically what they said, you could prove that a district had this discriminatory effect.
But if you try to repair it, if you try to remedy it by creating a district that creates an opportunity for black voters to be able to elect their representative of choice, that makes you the racist.
Well, the only way you can actually make majority black voting districts is because of segregation.
Absolutely.
So it's not like, you know, black people are all coming together and saying, let's come together and form a district.
We are the most segregated country that we have ever been.
And that's the reason why you can create those districts.

It could be county commissions.
It could be city council districts.
