By All Means: Let’s Make Everything About Race, Not Qualifications

So tired of this.

NAACP: White Democrat Voters ‘Will Not Vote for Black Candidates’
Hot Air | October 26, 2025 | Larry Elder

The Supreme Court is considering a Louisiana redistricting case that could have a greater impact on U.S House of Representatives seats than the Texas and California “gerrymandering” maneuvers combined.

The New York Times wrote, “Democrats would be in danger of losing around a dozen majority-minority [[[ translate, please? ]]] districts across the South if the court struck down part of the Voting Rights Act.”

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller tweeted, “How many people just realized that Dems had as many as 20 extra seats based on years of unconstitutional race-based gerrymandering?”

For the purpose of “racial justice” under the Voting Rights Act, Democrat legislatures and politicians created several “majority-minority” [[[ ? ]]] districts in order to elect black and Hispanic congressional members. The Supreme Court will rule on whether these districts violate equal protection under the Constitution.

ACLU Voting Rights Project Director Sophia Lin Lakin, who supports these majority-minority districts, said: “Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act has been a critical tool in safeguarding the promise that people of color

Yo-yo! Y’all trippin” wit dat yo-yo. But I ain’t playin’. I have a color, too, bro; know what I’m sayin’?

can participate in our democracy on equal terms. It has been our shield against discriminatory maps and our answer to laws designed to suppress the vote. Congress passed the Voting Rights Act with overwhelming, bipartisan support — and reauthorized it again and again — because our leaders understood a fundamental truth:

Pandering, pandering, pandering, pandering always works?

you cannot cure discrimination by pretending it doesn’t exist.”

NAACP lawyer Janai Nelson told the court, “It was clear that, regardless of party, white Democrats were not voting for black candidates whether they were Democrats or not. We know that there is such a significant chasm between how black and white voters vote in Louisiana that there is no question that even if there is some correlation between race and party, that race is the driving factor.”

Yawn.

The Supreme Court decades ago in Shaw v. Reno (1993) and Miller v. Johnson (1995) ruled against districts where gerrymandering by race was the dominant factor. “Ethnic cleansing!” cried Jesse Jackson after the Miller decision. Elaine Jones of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund

The Elmer defensive Fudd?

said, “The noose is tightening.”

That’s racist. For real.

Her colleague, Theodore Shaw, warned that once this decision goes through, the Black Congressional Caucus “could meet in the back seat of a taxicab.”

On whose dime?

But of the black House members in the four redesigned majority-white Southern districts who decided to run for reelection, three won. One chose not to run.

Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act provides that jurisdictions with a history of race discrimination in voting may change their election systems only if they get “preclearance” from the attorney general or a three-judge federal district court.

Each time the preclearance requirements were about to expire, Congress extended them. In 1982, Congress …extended its provisions for another 25 years. Before the requirements were set to expire in 2007, …the Senate voted 98-0 to extend the law for another 25 years; there were only 33 “no” votes in the House of Representatives. Then-President George W. Bush signed the extension into law.

Straight Line of the Day: Good Lines To Add to My Horror Movie…

I’m always working on this. I’ve only got like an hour and 58 minutes remaining, to fill in.

I’ve already got “I’m just gonna go find out what the hell that was. Stay here! I’ll be right back!” and

  • “Wait! Did you hear that?”
  • “Great! … my phone’s not working!”
  • “Come on, Babe, let’s find somewhere private to sneak off to. No one will miss us for a few minutes.”
  • “Damn these cheap batteries!”
  • “A chainsaw? Here?? Doesn’t add up.”
  • “Wait — what’s that under the tarp?”
  • “What’s up there?”
  • “What’s over there?”
  • “Did you see that?”
  • “That’s what you’re afraid of? Some stupid old magic mumbo-jumbo?”
  • “Ugh, you guys! I can’t wait to get back to the sorority!” (Pouts)
  • “Quit kidding around! It’s not funny!”

Oh, wait, that last one is from a different thing I’m always working on.
