This is what happens when you play racial identity politics and you are only about 10% of the population. You lose.
You elect idiots that only run on race, inflaming everyone with their race pimping so they get re-elected over and over. So of course the natural reaction is to give a double fistful to you fool suckas chased with a garden hose cocktail to wash it down.
So buy yourself a cup of STFU already Miss Cynthia. You did this to yourself.
You should see what the Voting Rights Act is doing in Michigan.
We lost a seat because of the 10+ year long recession. Detroit lost 25% of it’s population, but because of the VRA it will retain control of two seats. Conyers and Hanson Clarke will keep their “protected” status and the new districts are horribly gerrymandered. One proposal has a geographical “finger” snaking out of Detroit to snag Pontiac.
If there’s a benefit, it forces Sander Levin and Gary Peters into a primary against each other.
