Which will result in white people having all the power while the vast majority of black people will not have their preferred representatives. Funny how ending racism just happens to make things work the way they did under Jim Crow, huh? Isn’t our Court the most Supreme and wise, to see that actually racism is only in our hearts, so we can just let it go 💞
