Trump is a perfect example of why the Civil Rights Act is still needed, he gins up racial hate to get votes and political power.

Can't wait until the Supremes tell us how racism is over (again) and how we don't need any of them Civil Rights protections anymore.

Because Trumpy said so.

There were some pretty dumb arguments being made.
Too bad they didn't have better representation.

I noticed both side were people of color, which is hilarious.

You do understand the laws right? You can't draw the district based upon race.

That's not hatred.

You do understand democracy right? Is it good for democracy to have politicians choose their voters instead of voters choosing their politicians?
