Gerrymander based on ideology instead of race

[BeyondKnowledge]

I don't understand how it is good for racism to be used to fight racism. I don't understand how racial safe spaces are different from segregation. I don't understand how one group was damaged as a group more than any other enslaved group. Every race has been a slave at one time or another in some place in past history by some other ethnic group.

 While we keep going on about how bad racism is, no one is explaining any of these things I don't understand. 

Please educate us without just spewing MSM crap or arguing. Do you have any facts relating to ongoing racism? Not from something that happened over 50 years ago.

How much African American ancestral money was lost forever when white racists burned down the section known as 'Black Wall Street' in Tulsa?

Today it has shifted from those with African, Asian and Middle Eastern origin, to South American immigrants.

It's still there.

Who is that racism coming from? I see it more form other minorities.

The southern border was open and that permitted many illeagle aliens to enter. They have not been in place long enough to understand the culture they moved into. This makes them fit in less than others. That is why they stand out so much. Also the ones that came over the border illegally are in fact illegal. I had say that again for clarity.

You haven't seen racism until you see how Mexicans hate Myans. I have personally seen that once. Not verbal, not beating, just not caring at all when one got hurt.

I try to use culture instead of race.  There is Gerrymandering everywhere (see Arizona) - but this one is specific to Virginia (a southern slave state).

A majority of these voters are descendants from the slave trade.  It's part of a culture they evolved from within. Those of dark skin have only had Equal Rights since 1964.

Yes - equity is the right word:  the quality of being fair and just, especially in a way that takes account of and seeks to address existing inequalities.

Declared illegal by The Constitution of The United States and Amendments!
They called it "EQUAL" Rights for a reason didn't they.  Discrimination "get even" tactics is revenge based and illegal.

You do know the American SW was built mostly by hispanics - right?
 Origins and Role in North AmericaRancheros were large landowners in Alta California, New Mexico, and Texas during the Spanish and Mexican colonial periods. They were granted vast tracts of land (ranchos) to raise cattle, sheep, and crops, often along rivers and in fertile valleys Wikipedia+1. These ranchos became centers of agriculture, livestock production, and community life, with many including chapels, schools, and small towns

I chose not to answer, I chose to question to make a more important point.

Well - I've been around for 80 years.  Seen a few changes.

And I will forever thank my parents for relocating from Ohio to southern California.

Here comes GA in to the act!    Guess how many seats will "change"

Did everyone see this gerrymandering report card?

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

But the Supreme Court Justices also don't agree with each other, either, which just goes to prove how badly the US Constitution was written.

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. 

... like Trump?

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

There were some, but Biden backed down immediately, he accepted defeat, instead of doubling down as Trump does.

Most of those laws which were struck down during his administration didn't originate with Biden (such as Roe v Wade - a law that had been in place and was considered Constitutional for 53 years!, abortion related laws, gun control and Federal Regulatory powers).

The truth is that Trump has stacked the Supreme court so it was six Conservative Justices to three liberal Justices. So the Judicial branch is now out of balance and is shown to be just as partisan as the Congress, the Senate, and the Executive. No-one can be trusted anymore and who was the biggest instigator of that distrust?

Do we need to go back to Schoolhouse Rock again?

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

In US Civics classes, you are instructed in how your government is supposed to work.

But I never attended a US Civics class. Instead, at school, I learned how my country's political system worked, but we had a modified Westminster system under a Constitutional monarchy, with proportional representation and distributed preferences in elections (the country I now reside in does not have distributed preferences, but uses MMP instead). You'd know what they are, right?

The thing is, at school, I also did learn how the US governmental system worked, and the organizational structure of the United Nations, and the Chinese system post-Mao, and the USSR and how it changed from the revolution up until Brezhnev, and various historic Monarchies and Empires, and the British Commonwealth, and the German Bundesrepublik, and post revolutionary France's government.

I'm pretty sure that an education that doesn't explain all that other stuff, is only really political propaganda. I mean, you can totally believe it when someone tells you your political system is the best and fairest, when you know nothing of any other political system (except that they are somehow 'bad').
