Racism already is a driving factor in how Republicans draw district maps. There is no other plausible explanation for why there has never been more than one Black representative in a state in which over a quarter of voters are Black.

It's not racist to be capable of identifying the effects of racism. It's not racist to try to eliminate the effects of racism.
