    You can always rely on Alabama politicians to do the right thing after they’ve repeatedly made no effort to change racist behavior/norms and the Federal government forces them to comply.

    I don’t know whether to cry or laugh that this happens all the fucking time with them. I don’t think they realize that there’s no silent majority of racists behind their back, and that the actual majority of society sees them as racist dregs incapable of not being racist.

      They aren’t doing the right thing though, the court is bypassing them to have a special master draw up a fair map instead.

      There isn’t a silent majority of racists behind them? What has changed since I visited the state 10 years ago?
