Gerrymander based on ideology instead of race

[govshill2]

I've mentioned before my mom was a Polio victim - in the 51/52 epidemic.

This was 38 years before the Disability Act was signed in 1990.

We were treated terribly -- much the same as the way LGBT were treated before protection laws.

------------------------------------------------------------------

1981 -- On this date, less than a week after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the House of Representatives passed the Fair Housing Act of 1968
1981 – Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) expands protections against sex, race, color, religion, national origin, marital status, or age in credit transactions
1982 – Civil Rights Restoration Act reinstates federal enforcement of Title VI and Title VII, closing loopholes that allowed discrimination to persist 
1990 – ADA (as above) becomes law, marking a major expansion of civil rights protections
1993 – Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) signed by President Clinton, providing federal funding and legal tools to combat gender-based violence
2004 – Civil Rights Act of 2004 signed by President Bush, strengthening enforcement of civil rights laws and addressing employment discrimination
2015 – Obergefell v. Hodges Supreme Court decision legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide, requiring states to recognize it 

This is just some Legal Acts/Laws past by our government for fair equal rights and treatment.

No matter how or how much one professes their self-righteous ideology.

There is only one reality -- Equality has to be forced.

And they wonder why Gerrymandering exists!

Statutory law needs to be clear and unequivocal, and the US Constitution is not.

There are Constitutional experts today who still can't agree with each other about what it means.

And that is exactly what the Supreme Court is for. They decide what the laws mean. Including the Constitution.

You don't seem to understand the way the American government works. You know the words and documents but not how they work and the different parts work against each other to stop any one form taking over and doing bad things to this country. 

Where were the calls for punishing Biden when the Supreme Court ruled against his decisions several times?

Do we need to go back to Schoolhouse Rock again?

We the people, in order to form....... Come on, sing it!

Exactly!

It’s about equalizing. Those that try to make it about race - exposes themselves. 

Something that’s gone on since the beginning of civilization. 

The biblical law to leave parts of a harvest for the poor, often known as the law of pe'ah (corners), requires landowners to not reap to the very edges of their fields nor gather the "gleanings" (leftovers). These, along with fallen fruit, were left for the poor, the foreigner, the widow, and the orphan, as mandated in Leviticus 19:9-10 and 23:22.

Exactly.

Not equity.

Equality.

[ANNEE]

Exactly.

Not equity.

Equality.

I have no expectation that you’d understand. 

You have used race as a reason. Even anti-race in trying to justify. 

It’s really more about economics. The Civil Rights Bill was signed when I was a senior in high school. People of dark skin color did not have equal rights by law — in my lifetime — when I was 17 years old. 

That generation only had a beginning to evolve with better circumstances by law. They were standing on the starting block when I was 17 years old. Compared to those who had generations of opportunity. 

We’re not there yet. Laws are still needed to provide opportunity to even the playing field.

Its about economics.

No.  It is racist to promote some over others based on skin color.

Period.

And it looks like some race based districts are now being declared illegal!  go figure!  All those years and now it's race illegal!

[DBCowboy]

I don't know why the left can't get over skin color.

Grow up assholes.

Move on.

To segregate voting districts based on skin color is racist.

Go burn a fekking cross on a lawn if it pisses you off so much.

[quintessentone]

No.  It is racist to promote some over others based on skin color.

Period.

It is named racial equity, which you obviously don't know the meaning or how it benefits everyone.

Equity is not equality.

And it only benefits those who can't succeed on merit.
