A Sane and Moral Choice for Prez

[MichaeltheGreat]

The Fact is that Texas still hasn't been able to redistrict since the Republicans came to power. Why? Because it would mean undoing all the Democrat gerrymanders, some of which date to the 60s.

Are you an idiot, or a liar? Well, you're both, and you're a bigoted ****ing turd as well.

Summary of the State Redistricting Process

Note: This summary does not address judicial redistricting.

Although the formal redistricting process under the Texas Constitution may remain the same, every decade sees a different, often unpredictable, path for state redistricting plans, depending on legislative, gubernatorial, Legislative Redistricting Board, and judicial action. The history of the redistricting process during the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s illustrates some of the different courses decennial redistricting can take. The timing and legal requirements, however, dictate that the basic process generally takes the following course, which is described in more detail in the associated sections.

That's from the Texas Legislative Council, boyo. Hmmm, they talk about the redistricting they've done in each of the last four decades... I guess ol' Uncle Ben is full of **** once again.

You are a willfully ignorant, bigoted foreign ****wit. When I went to public schools in Harris County, Texas, as late as 1970, 15 years after the final Brown v. Board of Education, those schools were still 100% white, with a separate set of ****** schools. At the same time, in Galveston, they had a trifurcated school system, and the first "integration" that occurred was busing black kids to the Mex school for lunch, then busing them back to the ****** school for the afternoon.

The university of Texas was a party in an absurd series of cases trying to keep an academically qualified black man out of the all-white law school. In various cases, they tried to pay (only partly) to have him go to law school in another state, to have him by himself in a separate classroom by himself, to have him in a desk in the hallway just outside the regular classroom, until they finally lost every single time.

Texas has a damn near two century history of rampant racism and injustice. When they licked the Union's boots and begged to rejoin, they did everything in their power to disenfranchise minorities. When physical intimidation and lynching became unfashionable, they did it with gerrymandering Deep south racists and their shrill "good German" enablers like you brought the Voting Rights Act down on themselves, to un**** what decades of white racist disenfranchisement created. And they keep on trying. So cry me a ****ing river when they don't get everything they want and actually have to be a little creative about the continued disenfranchisement.

What Texas HASNT been able to do is redistrict in a manner so as to create 100% white Republican districts.

Interesting argumentation style. You actually concede that yes, gerrymanders have existed from the Democrat governor in the 80s, that yes, Texas hasn't been able to redistrict since, and that yes, Texas deserves it... because they were racist and you say it's so from the 70s, probably while you were flying over it.

All you left out was calling me a snowback. Yer getting old, MtG.
