As a white Southerner in the United States, I am deeply appalled. Words absolutely fail to describe how this gerrymandering could downspiral from the loss of political representation for Black Americans to loss of professional opportunities and individual personal freedoms. And don't get me started about educational equality. This is an outrage, and an assault against the memory of the Black slaves whose labor literally built the Southlands from the ground up. It's a misery and a heartbreak for their descendants, many of whom still live in poverty, oppression, and injustice.

Mother Jones is not a reliable source.
Its business model is all about getting people outraged, so they click more and align with their causes.
They're manipulating you with misinformation. Always go to primary sources, and you'll see how outfits like MJ are peddling conspiracy theories that are really bad for society.
