Can Republicans have as many white house members as they want?

When will Repubicans stop dishonestly pretending that white is not a race?

Definitions for New Race and Ethnicity Categories​

Categories developed in 1997 by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) that are used to describe groups to which individuals belong, identify with, or belong in the eyes of the community. The categories do not denote scientific definitions of anthropological origins. The designations are used to categorize U.S. citizens, U.S. residents, and other eligible non-citizens. Eligible noncitizens include all students who completed high school or a GED equivalency within the United States (including DACA and undocumented students) and who were not on an F-1 nonimmigrant student visa at the time of high school graduation. Find more information about other eligible (for financial aid purposes) noncitizens .

Individuals are asked to first designate ethnicity as:

• Hispanic or Latino or
• Not Hispanic or Latino

Second, individuals are asked to indicate one or more races that apply among the following:

• American Indian or Alaska Native
• Asian
• Black or African American
• Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander
• White

Let's start with the first truth: By our government's definition, white is a race.

So, let's get to the second truth.

How did voting districts become all-white?

There were several ways, with residential segregation enforced by the government being the main one.

Ferguson (1896) established "separate but equal" zoning ordinances that specified exclusively black, white, and mixed districts and legally established segregation in housing opportunities. Many large and mid-sized cities in the South and mid-South adopted racial zoning.

Third truth: All white voting districts were created because of race, but we do not see all white districts being broken up, so:

Can Republicans have as many white house members as they want?

When will Repubicans stop dishonestly pretending that white is not a race?

The notion I get is that your question here misses the mark. From what I've observed Republican opinion of this race identification business is a Democrat thing and they're simply not into it. And that's how I see their approach on redistricting. For purpose of gaining advantage it's a (R) versus (D) matter, not black versus white.

I'm not a Republican and so perhaps I'm tacking onto them my view of the matter. But I suspect not and they can correct me if I've gotten the wrong impression over the years.

You've missed everything if that's what you think. White districts were created because of race. White identity is what the Republicans are all about. If it was about R vs D, then why are only black districts being cut up? Do not fool yourself with that Republican colorblind lie. These Republicans will tell you how they don't see race, but you can't be stupid enough not to see what they ae doing.

 

[my2¢]

If it was about R vs D, then why are only black districts being cut up?

Because by far Democrats hold the advantage there.

Secondly, there is the recent Supreme Court ruling that went against racial gerrymandering, gerrymandering which treated citizens as if they're different breeds of dogs.

I think you need to realize that white is a race an that when you consider that TRUTH, then Repubicans have had a huge advantage. Then, as you purposefully ignore the facts presented in the OP, you will understand how we got white and black districts is because whites treated citizens like different breeds of dogs. I really get tired of whites such as yourself who choose to ignore what has been done, then try virtue signaling about race.

WHAT THIS RULING DID WAS GIVE RACISTS THE ABILITY TO RACIALLY GERRYMANDER DISTRICTS, THEN SAY THEY CHANGED THE DISTRICTS POLITICALLY.

I really get tired of whites such as yourself who choose to ignore what has been done, then try virtue signaling about race.

I believe in sticking to the matter at hand and to me it struck me that the topic of gerrymandering. You have no idea what-so-ever how I think about other issues concerning past injustices. Given that I haven't brought them up here, your thought process strikes me as being bigoted.

LOL The guy in Nashville area is white, and Jewish. He has defeated a black woman in several elections. Duh!

Past injustices have created the current reality. White districts were created due to racial gerrymandering. White shutting down only black districts is racial gerrymandering. What you chose not to bring up was presented in the OP. So I was discussing what I presented in the OP. You keep talking about racial gerrymandering as if the only time racial gerrymandering has happened is when black majority districts were created. Like I said, all this decision does is give racists an out by using political party membership as an excuse to racially gerrymander.

Diversity, quotas, affirmative action, and feminism demanded we ended up as races, cultures, ethnics and genders several decades ago for privileged employment.

Thus far, only black districts have been shut down in the South.

May 13, 2026

I'm seeing Hakeem and others complain about the recent Supreme Court ruling against "race based" gerrymandering.

But, most democrat districts are "safe districts", or as Nancy Pelosi says: "This glass of water would win with a D next to its name in those districts,"

Nancy Pelosi Keeps Criticizing Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

"This glass of water would win with a D next to its name in those districts," Pelosi said, seemingly referring to Ocasio-Cortez.

So if democrats want more black House members, just put them on the ballot in safe districts. Simple.

...so why is Steve Cohen elected in a majority black district?

No deflection. When the thread I linked shows proof supporting their claim, I will show proof that everybody has seen of how Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Florida have eliminated just black districts.

Do not ask me to provide things you don't ask white right-wing posters for.

8 states out of 50, and the majority of the people in these states are Democrats.

Another disingenuous Republican post.

This gerrymandering Trump has asked for is not about political parties.

The fact is if districts are being changed, it will effect more than just a hand full of districts. The numbers have to balance.

There is no need for this. If Trump did not know he was going to lose contol of the majority, there would have been no redistricting.

You're forgetting one thing, States are required to redistrict to comply with the SCOTUS ruling. TX can't because we are already voting based on the current maps, which contains race based districts.
