Just so everyone is clear, the main issue in the Supreme Court voting rights case tomorrow is whether it's racist against white people to enforce the Voting Rights Act. I'm dead serious. We live 10/15/25 12:31 PM

in incredibly stupid times. https://bsky.app/profile/angryblacklady.blacksky.app/post/3m3654l5ckk2u
There was an identical case out of Alabama in 2023. Alabama drew a second majority Black district. Alito was all chin strokey like, isn't it bad to take race into account here?
As in it's bad to be race-conscious in order to make sure Black people aren't underrepresented.
I remember at the time ranting on my podcast that of course you have to take race into account in order to draw racially fair maps.
But I guess we're gonna be stupid and say SFFA v. Harvard eliminated race consciousness across the board and so drawing a non-racist map is in and of itself racist.
Again, the argument is that the Voting Rights Act violates the Constitution (14th and 15th Amendments) because you have to take race into account in order to draw a map that has a second majority Black district and taking race into account violates the Constitution.
It's an ouroboros of stupidity.
Like how you gonna draw a second majority Black district if you don't analyze the racial makeup of various districts?
IT'S REALLY DUMB Y'ALL.
ugh i can't.
n 2023, Kav & Roberts sided with the liberals in Allen v. Milligan and let Black people in Alabama have their 2nd majority district.
But that case didn't raise the "Is the VRA racist against white people?" question. This one does.
The fact that they took the case means they're going to say yes.
For about three years now, I've been ranting to anyone who will listen that the Equal Protection Clause is being rewritten so that it protects white people from so-called anti-white discrimination.
That's what's happening here.
