At what point does it become ghettoization? The answer appears to be when Republicans do it. The one spot where a certain degree of ignorance might lead to a sweeping statement that factually has no bearing on this incident is how the person who wrote that article feels about majority minority districts in general. Maybe the blogger is a strident opponent of majority minority districts in all of their incarnations.

Michael McDonald said a sixth district could be created but they didn't look at it as closely because of limited budget and concern of how it would hold up under judicial scrutiny. The five current majority minority districts were left intact in the new map so that should alleviate the judicial scrutiny concern about that aspect.

Jesus Christ. Maybe when it looks like this? http://www.vpap.org/redistricting

The sad part about this conversation is that you're operating under the flawed assumption that I agree with gerrymandering by either party. So forget about the "ghettoization" comment. After pressing you on it, that seems to be the only thing you consider *absurd* despite your sweeping characterization of Waldo's post as such. Never mind that the crux of his criticism was aimed at the method far more than the outcome, which was still very much indecipherable at the time of his post due to the surprise nature of the floor substitute.

Can we now have an intelligent conversation now or are you going to continue bringing up Texas as if it has any bearing on what happened here?

Edit: And why are you angry about the wording in your own post that you deleted? Did someone else delete it? I didnt see the post, but it's hard to claim that everyone else is unreasonably judging it after you deleted it and cant let the words speak for themselves.
