the WaPo race and ethnicity reporter, Emmanuel Felton, is ticked off about the new SCOTUS case holding that the LA districting violates equal protection. so he says that the second blackest major city, Memphis, will soon have a white Republican rep in the House.

Memphis is the second Blackest big city in the country, and it’s about to be gerrymandered within an inch of its life so a white Republican can represent it in Congress. This was exactly the thing Congress was trying to address with the Voting Rights Act.

what's funny is that for 20 years Memphis' rep in the House has been a white guy named Cohen. and a black woman is the GOP nominee running against Cohen.

wild scene in the TN statehouse as the legislature moves to terminate Steve Cohen's "black seat" in Memphis and Dems storm the floor.
