"I'm not sure people are fully understanding where this puts us. I think that the reality is that people will start to see states both red and blue start to look dramatically different from the way that they looked like before. And that if you are a person of color in the South, they may eradicate virtually all political representation for you in some of those states."
"These laws exist. The Voting Rights Act exists because people marched and protested and fought and bled and died for these rights. And this week, these six aristocrats took a look at that and said, Okay, but it's too much. We can't have any kind of race consciousness when it comes to things like education, getting into school."
"What they've done now is unleash it. We're seeing all the all the red states are now trying to speed redistrict. And what it really is, is racist Photoshop. They're putting it all through an Instagram filter to make everything whiter."
Abby Phillip expressed concern that the Supreme Court's ruling against race-based gerrymandering could lead to a significant loss of political representation for Black Americans and other minorities in Southern states. She noted that both red and blue states would undergo dramatic changes in their political landscapes. John Fugelsang echoed these sentiments, emphasizing that the ruling undermines the progress made by the Voting Rights Act and opens the door to racism against non-White Americans, particularly in political and educational contexts.
