Is Goldilocks a Racist?

Well that depends on who draws the redistricting maps. When NC Democrats drew funny looking maps that created "minority-majority" congressional districts, it was ok. When Republicans drew similar maps, it was racism. Add to this the conflicting rules created by the 1965 Voting Rights Act and by various activist courts, and we get confusing picture where too much emphasis on race makes the lawmakers into racists and not enough emphasis on race also makes them into racists. Yesterday's judicial ruling affected only the "rules" used by lawmakers and not the resultant maps. They will be scrutinized in other lawsuits that are slithering their way through the courts. To the question of is she or isn't she a racist, the answer is simply, yes.
