House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is calling on Black athletes to boycott Southeastern Conference schools in states where Republicans have pushed new congressional maps - just not in other States where he likes the maps. Jeffries made the appeal Tuesday alongside the Congressional Black Caucus and the NAACP - a racist organization if ever there was one, arguing that Republican redistricting efforts amount to a 'direct attack on Black political representation'.
“This is an unprecedented moment, featuring an unprecedented attack on black political representation, and therefore it requires an unprecedented response,” Jeffries said during a press conference on Capitol Hill. “We are here standing in solidarity with NAACP in its call for athletes to boycott institutions within the SEC that belong to states that have unleashed these Jim Crow-like racially oppressive tactics, which is unacceptable, unconscionable and un-American,” the New York Democrat continued.
The fight is part of a larger political battle over redistricting in states including Texas, Missouri, Florida and Tennessee, which have all redrawn their congressional maps and faced criticism from Democrats and civil rights groups. Republicans say those fights are legal and political, not racial, and the clash is expected to intensify ahead of the midterm elections.
It's perfectly okay when they try to redistrict, but it's racist if other do. That in and of itself proves he - and any other member of a so-called 'Black Caucus' - is a racist simply by denying entry to Whites. That simple.
