For sixty years, Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act served as a kind of quiet referee in Southern politics. It didn’t tell voters how to think or politicians how to govern. It simply enforced a basic principle: lines couldn’t be drawn in a way that systematically canceled out minority votes.
Last week, in Louisiana v. Callais, the U.S. Supreme Court effectively put that referee back on the bench. The Court did not formally strike Section 2 down. But by requiring proof of intentional racial discrimination—and allowing partisan motivation to excuse almost any racial effect—the Court rendered Section 2 something Justice Elena Kagan called “all but a dead letter.” That ruling has immediate consequences for Louisiana’s congressional map. But the deeper question—one Mississippi ought to face squarely—is what this ruling could mean over time for White Mississippians themselves. Mississippi is already something of a demographic outlier. It is one of the few states where Black citizens approach 40 % of the total population. And yet, despite that near parity, White Mississippians continue to exercise disproportionate electoral influence—especially in statewide and congressional elections—thanks to turnout gaps, district design, and the slow churn of demographic change. Some Mississippi Republicans, particularly those preening for higher office or those smarting from Second District U.S. Rep. Bennie Thompson’s starring role in the Jan. 6 hearings, see Callais as the drop of the political checkered flag to unseat the state’s most powerful Black elected official with impunity through a congressional redistricting that is not filtered through the lens of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. But history suggests that power preserved by law rather than persuasion comes with long‑term costs. Demographers have been warning for years that the United States is on track to become a “majority‑minority” nation in overall population sometime in the 2040s. Mississippi won’t be first, but it won’t be last either. What’s more, the electorate changes faster than the general population, as younger voters age into eligibility. In the Deep South, those new voters are disproportionately Black and Hispanic. The safety—if that’s the word—of the old Voting Rights Act was that it forced biracial coalition‑building early, before numbers alone compelled it. Section 2 didn’t guarantee outcomes; it guaranteed seats at the table. Without it, change doesn’t stop. It just arrives less gracefully. Political scientists have a term for what tends to happen next: backlash politics. When demographic change proceeds without institutional guardrails, anxiety rises faster than adaptation. The result is polarization, not stability. You get more zero‑sum thinking, not less. Mississippi has already lived through this cycle more than once. Reconstruction. Redemption. The civil rights era. Each time, short‑term resistance delayed inclusion—but ultimately deepened mistrust and hardened divisions. Callais risks putting the state on a familiar path: political systems that lag demographic reality until pressure forces sudden, destabilizing change. There is another irony here, one often missed in the applause lines. By weakening Section 2, the Court didn’t just reduce protections for minority voters. It also narrowed the mechanisms that once legitimized White political leadership in racially diverse states. When elections are perceived as fair—even by those who lose—governance is easier. Consent matters. Section 2 helped provide it by ensuring that minority voters saw clear pathways to representation. Without those pathways, distrust fills the vacuum. That distrust doesn’t stay neatly compartmentalized. It shapes juries, school boards, tax referenda, and the day‑to‑day legitimacy of public institutions. For White Mississippians, the long‑term question isn’t whether Callais preserves influence in the 2026 map cycle. It’s whether clinging to legal insulation today makes political adaptation harder tomorrow. Demography, after all, doesn’t read Supreme Court opinions. The real test ahead is not whether Mississippi can draw maps without Section 2 looking over its shoulder. It’s about whether the state can foster a political culture in which biracial coalitions emerge by choice rather than compulsion. The Voting Rights Act once helped ensure that happened before the pressure boiled over. With Callais, that safety valve is gone. What fills the space it leaves behind will shape Mississippi’s future—for Black citizens and White citizens alike. Sid Salter is a syndicated columnist.

Trollfest '09
Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.
Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).
Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.
Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".
In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.
In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.
Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.
Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!
This is definitely a Beaver production.

Ole Sid actually proves the point that change was needed. Look at Bennie Thompson's distract and how far it has come under his leadership (or regressed), and it is all the proof needed that the districting map in Mississippi has not worked to the benefit of a single person of color. With that said, it's 2026, and frankly, people don't care about the color of one's skin, they care about the content of their character. Sid, maybe it's possible that the Supreme Court was in fact correct
Au contraire FUJ, the map in Mississippi has benefited Bennie Thompson handsomely.
Sid highlights Thompson's performance during the Jan 6 sham hearings as if the entire orchestration was something legit.
No one needs a special district based on race or gender or religion.
or majority
Time will tell if he's indicted for his part in orchestrating that treason.
Yellow Dog Democrat Sid doesn’t care about the poverty and apparently doesn’t even care about the innocent children that die in these high crime Democrat districts like Bennie’s.
It’s all about power to his party for Sid. He’s exactly what Malcom X warned us about; that while person calling himself a liberal, the most dangerous thing in the entire western hemisphere.
Sigh...let's just pretend that neither party or race wants to divide districts to their advantage. It would make more sense to divide up into counties or take a ruler and divide into equal square miles.
The truth is Benjamin Franklin's worse fear has been realized and frankly, we will be a dictatorship by the end of Trump's term.
The irony is some of you that are happy in the short term will come to regret it. Ask a Russian. Putin was democratically elected. This is his playbook.
Is it possible that independent moderate minded voters may have an opportunity to elect non- radical dems & non-radical republicans that will represent all Mississippians?
@10:20 It's not time that decides if his investigation of the "uprising" was treason. It's political power or WHO makes the rules that will decide. The political winds blow in both directions. The rules are written on the wind.
Dear Sid
If Voting Rights Act Section 2 is so good for Mississippi then maybe it should be used in all 50 states!!!!
I thought equality was something everyone wanted. Everyone has one vote. Race does not matter. If anyone really wanted equality there would not have been any Voting rights act section 2.
Cry me a river- let the chips fall where they may-the sun will some up tomorrow.
"When people get used to preferential treatment, equal treatment seems like discrimination”
Thomas Sowell
"distrust doesn’t stay neatly compartmentalized. It shapes juries, school boards, tax referenda, and the day‑to‑day legitimacy of public institutions."
I agree with that statement. I've seen it happen.
"some animals are more equal than others"
You Republicans will do whatever it takes to stay in power because you know that your numbers are in fact dwindling. If you can win legitimately, rig the U.S. Supreme Court to allow you to gerrymander districts in your favor. Y'all are absolutely the lowest form of scum in existence.
Sid Sez: "...the Voting Rights Act served as a kind of quiet referee in Southern politics." Nothing could be further from the truth.
The VRA was never quite and was never a referee. It is/was a loud hammer of control. Nothing quiet. Nothing a referee might do. Just a hammer. And simply an constitutional violation to guarantee one black man a lifetime appointment to a congressional seat.
If Tate has the balls to expand the session, we might see a redrawing where Bennie, as well as others, has an equal opportunity for election regardless of skin color but according to character content.
Democrats have been doing this for years. Sucks when the shoe is on the other foot, doesn’t it? The Democrat party is a dying breed that needs to dissolve in the history books. BTW, liberals are responsible for putting the dumbest, out of her league Supreme Court justice on the bench. Every time she offers her opinion on a case, we are all reminded of that fact.
anything done, based solely on race, is in fact, racist. doesn't matter the race.
May 6, 2026 at 11:39 AM; blah, blah, blah, blah. considering democrats all over the place want to expand the Supreme Court in order to pack it with leftist mental midgets like sotomayer and ketanji, so democrats can run everything through the courts and get favorable votes, absolutely makes y'all the lowest form of scum in existence.
Every time one of you liberals use the word dictator, and Trump in the same sentence, all I can hear is Russia, Russia, Russia. We see how right that was.
10:35 said “ we will be a dictatorship by the end of Trump's term.”
Hey 10:35, are you r______d enough to really believe what you write and back that prediction up with a wager? If so let’s make that happen. You name the bet amount and I will cover it.
Or are you just another Democrat tool repeating what you’re told to repeat to that part of your base to ignorant to know how idiotic your prediction is?
I thought equality was something everyone wanted. Everyone has one vote. Race does not matter. If anyone really wanted equality there would not have been any Voting rights act section 2.
May 6, 2026 at 11:11 AM In 1965 when the VRA was passed, WHITES IN THE DEEP SOUTH DID NOT ALLOW BLACK PEOPLE TO VOTE, and frequently resorted to violence to enforce their political will. Thus, the need for the VRA to begin with. In 2026, Alito and friends gut the CRA, and within 24 hours, Deep South state governments begin special legislative sessions to eliminate Black representation. Thus, the need for the VRA to begin with.
Wow! That's the best you got?! Weak! Very weak!
"BTW, liberals are responsible for putting the dumbest, out of her league Supreme Court justice on the bench."
And you voted for Jennifer Branning, right?
At the heart of the voting rights act was the reality of bloc voting, especially by race. When enacted there was the recognition verified by statistical facts that whites in the Southern states voted along clear and distinct racial lines and unless certain districts had a favorable black voting populace blacks had no chance to elect from their own ranks. At that time, that was fact. No matter what a colorblind utopia might look like, that was a fact in the 1960's. The utopia did not exist in places like Mississippi, LA, GA, SC, etc. This situation has either changed or it does not matter anymore.
2:24 Sorry to inform you but everyone does not want equality. Never did. Everyone wants to win. We want the advantage. If we say we don't we are lying. Sometimes it's left to the court to decide. We will accept a win even if we are wrong. Human nature that's all.
Y’all keep fighting over Democrat vs. Republican while the oligarchs distillate more wealth and consolidate more power and control.
Racial and political division only plays in their favor.
The mid-1960s had a moment in time where dissident voices like Malcolm X and George Lincoln Rockwell were both unified on the same page and both were quickly assasinated.
May 6 11:14 a.m. Thomas Sowell… one of the wisest black men to ever open his mouth. I miss his long-ago opinion columns in the Clarion Ledger, but then his columns would not be carried in the C-L of today, which is also why I no longer subscribe to it.
It seems I detect a hint of hostility from Salter.
Robert L. “Bob” Woodson (one of the original civil rights leaders) is much more qualified than White Yellow Democrat Dog Sid Salter re: the voting rights act. Mr. Woodson said:
“In the civil rights movement, one of the great promises we (blacks) gave to low income blacks, is if you were to elect blacks to public office through the voting rights act, and we (blacks) were running those institutions, that all of black America would be better off.”
“In the past 50 years (as of June 2020), 22 TRILLION HAS BEEN SPENT ON POVERTY PROGRAMS. 70% GOES NOT TO THE POOR, BUT THOSE WHO SERVE POOR PEOPLE.”
“So many of those people taking office use this money to create a class of people who are running these cities.”
“Now after 50 years of liberal Democrats running the inner cities where we have all of these inequities that we have, RACE IS BEING USED AS A RUSE, AS A MEANS OF DEFLECTING ATTENTION AWAY from critical questions such as why are poor blacks failing in systems run by their own people, if race was an issue.”
I watched an interview with Ole' Sid on SuperTalk yesterday.
For the life of me, I can not understand why anyone considers Salter a "sage" of Mississippi politics. Sid sounds like he's about to doze off any minute, while trying to do a Haley Barbour imitation.
hung-over squirrel hunyers
Although Bennie Thompson has been a strain on this state, I do believe the good ole boys will do their best to tip the scales in their favor. This state preselects their officials. Voting is a joke. MS politicians believe they are smarter than the voters so they chose for us. Wonder what they chose for the new voting districts? The poorer the state, the more corrupt.
Its hard, really almost impossible to imagine, that the folks in Bennie's district could be any worse off with a new representative. High violent crime rates and keeping people poor and dependent - is the Democrat Party's modus operandi.
May 6th at 1:43 pm I read actual history and not just on U.S. history. I have my own library and still had to buy bookcases. When you have one party with one man in control of all government offices and jobs and judicial system, when not being loyal to that man and that party means you are an evil or inferior person, that's the definition of a dictatorship. I don't gamble , I have more money than I'll ever spend in my remaining life-time even if I have terrible medical bills . I would be thrilled to be wrong since my family came here as colonists to flee one man, one party , royal rule and the religious wars between Catholics and Protestants. They also served in every war, including on both sides of the Civil War. Look up "Who were the Founding Fathers who feared two strong political parties forming?" as the weakness in our Constitution they couldn't solve.
Could most of those commenting try to gather information from non- political sources and think for yourselves. Try to actually go to see your government "at work" in public meetings. You could go to the library and read old history books. The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire is rather instructive but not hard to read or understand. You start with Caesar who was great and you end up with Caligula! Hitler was wildly popular! Go to the Holocaust Museum in Washington ( I hope it still translates all of Hitler's speeches) while you still can. Loads of wealthy civilizations failed and their cities are in ruins. Literally, they self -destructed , and it wasn't by volcano eruption!
May 8th 8:56PM (formerly May 6th 10:35) is the historian rich man or woman with more money than ever can be needed…..but just like all other propaganda spreading Democrats that repeat r____d lies to their dumbed down base (like “we will be a dictatorship by the end of Trump’s term, ”) he/she WILL NOT back that loud mouth up with a wager, even a small one.
8:56 (formerly 10:35) why don’t you just slither off and don’t post a come back like all other Democrats when they get caught in a ball faced propaganda can’t back that mouth up lie?
Again, you back that mouth up with a wager of any amount, and I will cover it.
