Alabama Republicans, under orders of the U.S. Supreme Court to redraw congressional districts to give minority voters a greater voice in elections, rejected calls Monday to craft a second majority-Black district and proposed a map testing the judges’ directive.

    I’m not even sure it’s that… “principled”? For lack of a better word. I don’t know what the piece of shit version of that word is. But I think this is just them clutching at power any way they can. Being racist is either a non-issue or the asshole cherry on their asshole sundae.

      This tracks. I have some republicans in the family, and they aren’t super racist against conservative voting non-whites. Democrat is a much worse word to them than Black or Mexican.

        So they’re not super racist. Just kind of racist. And only kind of racist to minorities who vote against their own self interests to try and I guess win over said ‘only kind of racist’ family members.

        I think you’re in denial about your racist family members and I suspect when you’re not around they’re more than happy to discuss their racist viewpoints amongst each other. Just a guess tho.

          No. They are very racist against minority democrats in front of me. Being a conservative makes someone “one of the good ones”. I’m not justifying or excusing their behavior. Just providing some insight as to their priority ladder of hate.
