@GovWesMoore Wow! This algorithm no longer offers all replies just the ones deemed "relevant", "most liked" or "new". So Elon's company is now controlling what responses you see......... I'm so glad this platform is not my sole information source.....
In 250 years, Louisiana has sent 171 white men to Congress.
During Reconstruction, Black people were elected and denied their seats. Only one Black man — Charles Nash — served in the 1800s.
Then from 1877 to 1990, Louisiana sent zero Black people to Congress. Zero. For 113 years.
In 1990, Black Louisiana finally got a member of Congress again. Since then, white voters have elected 25 members. Black voters have had 4.
All 4 were in the same room fighting to keep the two seats Black Louisiana fought for.
Don’t tell us this isn’t about denying Black people representation. It always has been.
@repcleofields_ and @reptroycarter were joined by former Congressman Cedric Richmond and William Jefferson to let the record be clear that Black voters are due fair maps.
This image should put things into perspective for you.
Today at the state Capitol, the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee will vote on which congressional map Louisiana will have.

@Nibiru1000 Pro illegal immigrant? What kind of sambo bs is that? If you don't like people from other countries you better be able to trace your family on both sides back to the indigenous people. Civilization began in Africa....Everyone has Black in them....
@mmpadellan@kb_mario03 Everyone has their own style but i must ask, is it working. If your goal is to win elections but not total stability for the working class AND poor, we do not want you!!!!
The White Nationalist Party openly admits that it cannot win majorities in federal elections if everyone votes.
Their solution is only logical: Reduce the number of people who vote.
Embrace their admission and the logic behind it.
Then make sure you are registered and in the appointed hours go to the polls and break their political backs again, and this time forever.
