Of the 107 Republicans in the Legislature, none are black, and only two (a Hispanic and an Asian American) are minorities.... Only 22 of the Legislature's 74 Democrats are white.... This is amazing.

The amusing thing about Gerry Mandering minority districts is that it helps the GOP. When you concentrate the minorities into one district that votes mostly DEMONcrat who have removed those votes from districts that could go either way, thus ensuring a Republican win in those districts.
The one thing that none of the major news outlets (Paper or electronic media) will say is the reason the Dems are in the majority in Texas Delegation to Washington is that the districts in Texas have been Gerry Mandered by the Demoncrats for years. The Republicans are only trying to get a percentage that reflects the Republican vote in Texas.
