Whites Have Voting Rights, Too!

The New York Times is complaining about the redrawing of formerly black-majority districts in Southern States like Louisiana and Tennessee.
The thing about these districts is that, given the nature of American politics and the tendency of blacks to vote at 90 percent Democratic, these districts don’t necessarily promote black politicians, supposing that to be a worthwhile goal, they are gerrymandered safe seats for Democrats.
In Florida’s 20th District, which is 21 percent white, the Democratic candidate for Representative is former DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
As a result, the Washington Post is asking Who should represent a historically Black district?.
The 20th, which includes parts of Broward County, is “historically” black, but not majority black. This is result of mass immigration—more than a third of the people Wasserman Schultz is running to represent were born outside the United States.
The demographic breakdown is
Black / African American: ~48% to 49%
Hispanic / Latino: ~24% to 27%
White: ~18% to 21%
The Hispanic population is not only very large, but something like a quarter of the “historically” black population aren’t even “historically” American blacks, according to Data USA:
Foreign-born: About 36% of the district’s residents are born outside the United States, which is more than double the national average.
Languages spoken: While English is widely spoken, significant non-English households rely on Spanish (over 21%) and Haitian Creole (approx. 11%). [1]
The Washington Post points out that the District did have a black representative…until she resigned in disgrace after being caught stealing.
The 20th District is nearly half Black and contains several historically Black communities in Broward County. It was drawn to ensure Black Floridians in the area would not have their votes diluted under the Voting Rights Act. Former representative Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick last held the seat from 2022 until her resignation this year. She stepped down following allegations she stole FEMA funds.
If you’re wondering what kind of a name Cherfilus is, it’s Haitian. Representative Cherfilus-McCormick was born in Brooklyn to two Haitian parents. Her decision to run in the “historically” black Florida district was probably based partly on the Haitian factor.
The man she replaced was Alcee Hastings, 1936–2021, who was a genuinely American black legislator, who before running for Congress had been one of the few Federal judges ever impeached and removed for bribery.
When Hastings died in 2021, I wrote that
Alcee Lamar Hastings, September 5, 1936–April 6, 2021, was the Congressman for Florida’s 20th congressional district. Wikipedia points out [April 2021]that this district “includes most of the majority-black precincts in and around Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach”—that is, it’s the result of a Voting Rights Act gerrymander intended to produce a majority black district.
It also produced voters who don’t care that their Congressman was impeached and convicted, while a Federal Judge (he was a Carter appointee...of course), of soliciting a bribe.
Steve Sailer talked about Voting Rights Act gerrymanders and the politicians produced by them in 2010:
Indeed, the VRA has been terrific for the careers of low-level black and Hispanic politicians. There will be 42 blacks in the House of Representatives, or 9.6 percent of the 435 total.
This included black Republicans Allen West and Tim Scott, elected by overwhelmingly white constituencies, which shows why we no longer need Voting Rights Act gerrymanders.
Nevertheless, forty are Democrats, generally of less than edifying quality: Maxine Waters, Alcee Hastings, Bobby Rush, and the like. (One reason the MainStream Media boosted Obama so shamelessly in 2007–08 is that, for all his shortcomings, he’s a much classier product than the typical black politician of the 21st Century.)

For years, blacks have had special privileges under the Voting Rights Act, and whites have been inherently suspect. See No Democracy For Whites In The New America, by Steve Sailer, VDARE.com, 2005, and The Voting Rights Act: Time To Include Whites by Sam Francis, VDARE.com, 2003.
Maybe now that Trump has upset years of the GOP’s and Conservatism, Inc’s losing policies, and the Supreme Court has declared that racial gerrymanders are illegal even if they (theoretically) benefit blacks, the GOP can stop cringing whenever its racial makeup is mentioned.
James Fulford has been writing about the national question for over 20 years, mostly for VDARE.com, more recently for WhitePapers.
The GOP is jews getting gullible Whites to vote for jew-whores who slather benefits on jews and darkies while demanding Whites bootstrap.
As you allude to in your article, non-Whites aren't fit to govern and sit in judgement of the White man. Chaos and corruption always follow non-Whites into public office.
