In America there are only two parties. The Republican party is actively hostile to the interests of black people, if not explicitly racist. Since the Democrats - while not generally taking any actions to, you know, improve anything - are not. So like 89% of black voters choose Democratic candidates.

The Supreme Court recently ruled that it is not illegal to change voting districts to prevent the other party from winning. A simple example of that might be taking a city and dividing it into three sections, each of which extends far out into the countryside. Now no single section has a majority of city voters.

In the latest rulings, the Supreme Court also ruled that anyone in such a district must prove that it was done for racial reasons, and not for a pure partisan power grab. States all across the South of the US immediately rewrote their election maps to favor Republicans.

This ends up taking away black representation. Some states have 40% black citizens, and will now have 0% representatives.

Sure seems racist, but the people in power say it’s not.
