Among its other provisions, the Act contained special enforcement provisions targeted at those areas of the country where Congress believed the potential for discrimination to be the greatest. Under Section 5, jurisdictions covered by these special provisions could not implement any change affecting voting until the Attorney General or the United States District Court for the District of Columbia determined that the change did not have a discriminatory purpose and would not have a discriminatory effect. ~ terminate gerrymandering ~ GA congress districts ~ extreme gerrymander ~ Court Draws Georgia Map Of Congressional Districts The State Legislature, which is controlled by Democrats, ceded responsibility for drawing new Congressional lines to the courts in September when it failed to agree on a plan in a 20-day special session. That session was called after the United States Supreme Court ruled in June that Georgia’s 1992 Congressional map was unconstitutional because race played a dominant role in the configuration of the 11th District. Represented by Cynthia A. McKinney, who is black, the 11th snakes 260 miles through east Georgia, pulling pockets of black voters into a gerrymandered district that was intended to elect a minority candidate. ~ garymandering ~ The Gerrymandering Project ~ stephon clark talk ~ Denying Genetics Isn’t Shutting Down Racism, It’s Fueling It ~ Great TED Talks to inspire fiction writing ~ facebook live ~ Locals Reveal Why Tourists Might Not Want To Visit Their Country ~ Black Lives Matter activist arrested after dispute at anti-racism training ~ These Are The Mistakes You’re Making At Fancy Restaurants ~ Thelonious Monk’s 25 Tips for Musicians (1960) ~ @chamblee54 #QuotableVegetables “I yam what I yam” Popeye Translate from Turkish ~ Tear down this paywall, Mr. Sulzberger ~ I use PG as a doppelganger on my blog It stands for Piers Gaveston Parental Guidance Perverts Galore Passing Gas and now Personal Gain ~ @dumbbeezie Before you state your opinion, remember that you can always shut up ~ @chamblee54 I just copied a url, went to another browser, to see a tweet by someone who has blocked me… i should add, without my knowing them or leaving them a tweet… i saw the word cognitive dissonance @tcboyle Ah, well.

All you have to do is add one more word. ~ “We are monitoring this situation closely #Monkenzie. According to the Fraternal Order of Police handbook, and Codex of the Blue Wall of Silence, police can only get away with running over #Negroes and #Niggralinos. They are authorized to run over certain types of white people. The woman in this case appears to have been completely innocent and was just going on about her business, not bothering anybody. We’ll conduct a thorough, internal investigation to see if this cop was actually responding to a high priority call, or speeding past traffic to hurry up and get some donuts or something. Similarly to the case of a woman in a town outside of Buffalo, who was walking in the woods near her house, who was shot and killed by a hunter (who was hunting after hours) who thought he was shooting a deer – we may very well take some minimal criminal action against this officer. We’ll have to finish our investigation to sort out all the details. #LonnieBarlowShow #Niggerology” (311) ~ @TweetPotato314 Jesus: *doing crossword* I’m stuck on 2 across. ~ @pdxjohnny99 The last time I danced in public people gave me money to find a cure. ~ In 2016, 574 white people were killed by police, while 266 black people were killed by police. source In 2016, there were 6,576 white homicide victims, and 7,881 black homicide victims. source If you divide the first number by the second number, you get the percent of homicides by police.
