#Black Americans have carried extraordinary burdens in the #UnitedStates, not only to exercise their own rights but also to make the country a #democracy. The #VotingRightsAct, passed in 1965 & strengthened in the decades that followed, had protected them from #RacialGerrymandering that divided them across multiple districts to blunt the impact of their votes. This was just one of a multitude of tactics Southern officials used to limit Black #suffrage & stifle competition during #JimCrow.

#Republicans, cheered on by #Trump, have rejected those claims. Instead, they have said, they are responding to the #SCOTUS ruling, which raised the bar for what constitutes a #racial #gerrymander under the #VotingRights Act of 1965.

#Democratic lawmakers, whose opposition means little under a #Republican supermajority in the state’s General Assembly, & #Black leaders across #Tennessee have compared the effort to carve up the Ninth Congressional District to #JimCrow era voter suppression tactics. They have accused conservatives of a power grab that undermines Black voters in #Memphis, who have long favored #Democrats.

#Tennessee #Republicans on Wednesday proposed a congressional map aimed at diluting the state’s lone majority #Black district, a swift response to last week’s #SCOTUS ruling that weakened a landmark #VotingRights #law.
The new map slices #Memphis, a majority-Black city, & #ShelbyCounty into 3 districts & likely will give Republicans the ability to flip Tennessee’s lone remaining Democratic seat.

The #SupremeCourt upheld a #SouthCarolina congressional map, easing #Republican #racialgerrymandering. The 6-3 decision, authored by Justice #SamuelAlito, dismissed prior findings of racial bias due to insufficient evidence. This ruling, criticized by Justice #ElenaKagan, raises the proof bar for gerrymandering cases, potentially weakening #VotingRights for minorities and reinforcing GOP electoral advantages.

I can’t imagine why SCOTUS justices would find affirmative action for people of color “unconstitutional.” It’s been “constitutional” for Whites for well over two centuries.
