The New "Super White" Majority Voting Districts In Georgia
Democrats said Republicans are "re-segregating" the state.
Last year the Civil Rights Pharisees in Atlanta expressed concerns about "Super White Cities" in north metro Atlanta as White folks in unincorporated parts of Dekalb and Fulton County decided to form cities. This allowed them to keep more of their tax money locally.
Fast forward. Thanks to the demographic changes documented by the US Census the state of Georgia picked up another US Congressional seat. This week the GA Legislature passed new district lines.

Even though Blacks are exiting various "Mission Accomplished Zones", going elsewhere in pursuit of their "Permanent Interests" - the Black Racial Services Machine is more interested in protecting their political representatives with little to show on the streets.
Will Cynthia Tucker Retain Her New Found Opposition To Majority-Minority Districts?
From the article:
In a "minority report" written to refute Senate Reapportionment Chairman Mitch Seabaugh, R-Sharpsburg, Democrats said the map diminished the ability of minority voters to elect candidates of their choice. The Voting Rights Act calls such a violation "retrogression."
Their examples in the Senate included District 14, which is being moved out of south Georgia. It is 43 percent African American, but has been redrawn to be only 9 percent African American.
Waynesboro-based District 23, now 40 percent African American, has been redrawn to be 34 percent. Milledgeville-based District 25, currently at 34 percent, is now 29 percent. And in south Cobb's District 6, which is currently majority non-white, the included African American population would fall from 38 percent to 23 percent.
Democrats also charged that Republicans in control of the process were "packing," a term that means they want to cram as many like-minded voters into as few districts as possible in an attempt to dilute their overall voting strength. Their examples included changes in Fulton, Bibb and Henry counties that strengthen Republican representation on local delegations of lawmakers.
The map, said Senate Minority Leader Steven Henson, D-Tucker, "deliberately changes the composition of some local delegations, resulting in majority-minority, Democratic counties now being controlled by white Republican senators."
Sen. Horacena Tate, D- Atlanta, said Republicans relied on counsel that the Voting Rights Act did not protect districts which had a less than 50 percent African American population. "This is a choice by the committee chair [Seabaugh]," she said. "This choice twists the Voting Rights Act beyond recognition. We are choosing to take a step back."
The real question that must be addressed is: "Does a BLACK (Progressive) in power translate into "Black Interests" being represented?
The Black Racial Services Machine seeks to have "insiders" who will put forth favorable, progressive policies into place within the various legislatures and executive circles. This has more to do with INTENTIONS than facts on the street.
It is my opinion that the 2012 Election is a VOTE OF NO-CONFIDENCE on the "Conscious Hijacking Of Black America". Obama and some unnamed Republican will be running. The truth is that the real issue is the MOBILIZATION AND UPLIFT MODEL FOR THE BLACK COMMUNITY.
We have been drawn into a certain methodology. Instead of continuously vetting the EFFICACY of that methodology we have become TEAM MEMBERS - (just as Malcolm X has warned us). The TEAM'S LOSS triggers a "Try Harder" disposition instead of a demand for fundamental reevaluation. Instead of the erection of defenses between our Permanent Interests and the machinations about how to obtain them.
