Segment: Lay of the Land in Memphis, TN and Beyond Following The Supreme Court Ruling Regarding Section 2 of the 1965 Voting Rights Act
There are moments in life where reflection and thought are the preferred choice to ensure the reaction is as measured and balanced as possible.
In regards to the immediate gerrymandering that most Southern States decided to enact after the Supreme Court ruled against specific race based protections within the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
All I can conclude as a citizen of humanity is as follows:
1.) If no weapon formed against me shall prosper. Well, no weapon formed against me shall prosper. I am not religious by any stretch, but for those that are. I believe this scripture should settle it.
2.) Gerrymandering is a tool rooted in insecurity and scarcity mindset. It is also a tool that forces one to go into the mud because of the entire premise behind it being by design a rigging of the system either directly or in response to.
3.) Winning elections is still a viable option. Capitalism ensures the reality of have and have nots. More rural Tennesseeans and Urban Tennesseeans share similar socio-economic realities. They just don't realize it because they aren't in community nor communication with each other.
4.) In fact when these two communities are in communication with each other. It's usually hostile, rooted in ignorance, and fed by the world of chaos that the internet thrives off of because controversy plus ill-informed, plus isolation yields lucrative opportunities to exploit the made up divisions such as race.
5.) There is no black voice politically. There are issues that are uniquely impactful towards African-Americans, but the idea of a black voice or black representation politically isn't accurate.
Until there are resources specifically for black people such as a "black currency" which there probably never will be. There is only resource allocation rooted in behavior ie politics.
The resource allocation is based on the exploitative practice of capitalism. Have and Have Nots are the result.
But hey. This is just my opinion. What say you.
