The composition of this group will be one of the issues in the lawsuit which will be filed by the NAACP.
It doesn’t matter who they picked, NAACP will file a lawsuit regardless. They love wasting money.
Yea, one woman is probably not enough.
Massachusetts is 40% Republican. There has not been a Republican congressman from Massachusetts since 1991. Reset the districts to be all GOP and come back when blue states decide to be fair.
Inclusion of waterboys Wiggins and England will ensure that not a single original thought will emerge. Only the thoughts that Dogbart tells them to have. By the way, what's with his reference to thoughtfulness during 2022?
2:45 save yourself some time and send your lawsuit to the Supreme Court. They will know what to do with it.
forget the NCAA , I law suit will be filed no matter what. By law race is not a factor.
Because their committee is as diverse as their association?
If every Red state did this, we make sure that no democrat legislation is passed in our lifetime. We can effectively neuter our competition!

The demographics of Massachusetts is no where close to that of Mississippi. Boston is opposite of Jackson demographic wise. So that’s not a good comparison. You’ll go days with out seeing more than a handful of black in the northeast. Especially Massachusetts
What does race have to do with it?

Are you joking. If race has nothing to do with it why would the ncaacp raise hell as well as voter right groups. Wait until uncle Bennie gets his district cut out
Time for republicans to pick their voters, as opposed to the other way around.
Republicans are not bad for the country. Republicans are not bad for the country. Republicans are not bad for the country. Maybe if I repeat it enough, then I might actually believe it.
No wonder you're anonymous. Who would use their real name in admitting they were a Kamala Harris and Tampon Tim supporter?
