As a white Southerner in the United States, I am deeply appalled. Words absolutely fail to describe how this gerrymandering could downspiral from the loss of political representation for Black Americans to loss of professional opportunities and individual personal freedoms. And don't get me started about educational equality. This is an outrage, and an assault against the memory of the Black slaves whose labor literally built the Southlands from the ground up. It's a misery and a heartbreak for their descendants, many of whom still live in poverty, oppression, and injustice.

Alito said racism was over. Southern states are now rushing to revive Jim Crow.

Republicans are set to dismantle at least five majority-Black districts in the South.
