Race and skin color should not come into these decisions. We need quantitative, color blind criteria to determine if these maps and future maps are acceptable.
You do not get rid of racism by creating more racism. Think about what the judge is inferring here. Either:
- Black candidates are so inferior they would never be elected unless the system was rigged to make sure they were, or
- non-black people ( Whites, Asians, etc) are so racist they would never vote for a black person.
Both of these are proven false in real life:
- Barack Obama elected president twice
- Tim Scott elected to the Senate
- etc
