- The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that Louisiana can use a new proposed congressional map that includes a second majority-Black district. A lower court recently blocked the map from taking effect. CBS News congressional correspondent Nikole Killion breaks down the long-running dispute.

Boy they can hurry when they want to 🙄
Please vote, if you don't, your 2nd district WILL be taken away, guaranteed. Don't waste opportunities!
Supreme Court just ruled that there will be two black districts in Louisiana!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS TO 1/3rd of the State YOU ARE REPRESENTED!! 🎉🎉🎉
I guess we'll all have to join a gang now
@@dpharr100 And you are why black need representation, all of the black people in this segment were above the age of what 40 what gang?
@@paulomilan515there are no gangs around here other than a very small part in New Orleans there's always people like this that want to disenfranchise others
They were represented before. As an American I abide by the the Supreme Court decision and will not be jumping up and down wanting to pack the court, I will not be screaming that the Supreme Court is unjust. However, I am saddened that one of the women interviewed chose to make it a race issue and in so many words said she preferred segregation as a form of representation. To me that goes against everything men and woman Black and White fought for in the civil rights movement. As much as she does not want to see it this is just another outlet for the Democrats to keep Black Americans on their plantation that includes 58 years of failed entitlement programs and policies.
@@mick8669 you obviously aren't from Louisiana, especially that area, I AM! NO, WE ARE NOT REPRESENTED! This is 2024, black folks are still lynched around here. A school was segregated up until 2020, do tell me more about how the times are changing in South Louisiana.
During President Biden‘s second term, Congress should create new legislation protecting the voting rights of people of color with no sunset clause.
People of color don’t have voting rights? Please explain
Well, they have to make sure there are no US Democratic Senators that are not filibuster defenders when it comes to Rights being at risk of being overturned.
@@jesseseale2558 who is trying to overturn people of colors right to vote?
@@latunniyayechka338For one, the Louisiana Republicans who brought the suit to begin with, claiming having two out of six districts be majority black - in a state with 1/3 population black peopke - was “diluting” the voting power of “non-black” voters, even though the voting rights act specifically call for these types of majority minority districts specifically to protect the voting rights of minorities against gerrymandering.
@@latunniyayechka338 Who do you think is trying to overturn PoC's right to vote?
awesome!
Hearing the views of those voters makes me glad that now they can finally feel like they're actually being represented in Congress. Now, get out and #Vote! #VoteBlue2024 #RockTheVote
I just hope those people vote
Perfect.
still a rogue court
THis is outstanding news for all of us who believe we are one citizenry!!! Now, those of you it impacts go and vote!!!!!!!
Louisiana had always been a purple state that had elected many democratic governors. People of color have always been disenfranchised in this state built on the backs of POC. No, Louisiana is not "maga" like Jeff Landry says, it's far from it, there aren't many Trump supporters around here and those that are try to be either the loudest in the room or they try to keep it in the closet. You can imagine that loud mouths and their demographics. Highly populated cities in this state swing Democrat, yet the attorney general wants to say that giving POC a voice is disgusting, I'm glad I know exactly what he thinks of us.
Is that why trump won LA 2 to 1 in 2020?
I've lived in Baton Rouge basically all my life, and this is very much MAGA territory. Lousyana hasn't voted for a Democratic Pres since maybe Bill Clinton. POC who are elected are ALWAYS elected from districts that are strongly black and Democrat. Just because you don't see crosses burning doesn't mean there is no smoke.
What if we looked at people as if we are color blind.... which we should....
The problem is that people aren't always color blind, we wish they were, but as you can see from every day events, people still have racial biases going on. Why wouldn't you want all races to be represented?
Stop. You don't need to be blind to do right
Is that what segregationists used back in the day?
Anyone else picking up the racism fighting racism with more racism.
Should not matter what colour your skin is to represent the people's interest. What you need is people there who represent the majority interest not base the election on the colour of their skin.
That's exactly what this map is. It is not based on skin tone it is based on the people who live there. It just so happens that the majority of people who live there are black. So this fits your requirement. As such why in the world would you call it racist?
The point of this map is to reflect the people of Louisiana is reasonably possible with the amount of congressional districts it has Louisiana has six congressional districts and 1/3 of its population is African-American two black majority districts is 1/3 of Louisiana's population this is to ensure that the votes of minorities are not diluted by map drawers or convenience
Racism will stop when we stop talking about it.. Dont need to talk about it watch their actions
Racism will never stop. Ever. It is simply the easiest way to distract the poor from the corruption of the rich.
Hear no evil, see no evil. LOL
Special rights for certain groups does not supersede our Constitutional Republic protected rights
How about equal rights?
So ..do we get an Asian-American district too?
San Francisco
Why? Y’all aren’t the majority there. And you weren’t complaining until Black people said something so that means you were ok with white people representing you ….so hush.
If it were more of u then maybe
Not enough asians to consider that
US want fight on Donbas or near Warsaw / Ryga ?
no 3 rd way..
@@true.is.aroundnear Warsaw it’s Russia be nato so Russia will last 12 hours max
Wtf you bots going on about?
Russia advancing into NATO territory with how they've struggled in Ukraine. They wouldn't last a day against Poland nevermind how swiftly they'd be run back to Russia by the entire armed forces the West has
I HAVE always BELIEVE the UNITED STATE OF AMERICA, SUPREME COURT WAS THE HIGHEST COURT and biggest honor. IT SEEM THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is changing not for the good of the people. Never saw that coming, it's hard to believe corruption is leading our country.
Smh.
It’s the law. 😅
You racist? Cause it was the white supremes that were fighting this district.
