Voting rights lawsuit challenges single member districts in Irving
So, you would suggest that a person can not be properly represented by anyone other than someone of the same race? Hmmm...seems the lawsuit in and of itself is racist. People can vote based on whatever factors they choose; however, to have a court divide areas based on race to give an advantage to one particular race in an election is RACIST.

It is also quite sad and ignorant to think one can only be properly represented by someone of the same race. Wouldn't you consider that rather racist? When I vote, I don't consider the person's gender, sexual orientation, or color. I consider that candidate's qualifications. Is that not how you vote?

Yes, Jeremy, and clearly that's what this lawsuit is hoping to do in Irving. And, Scott, how ignorant to assume that people vote according to skin color. Do you know anyone who does that?

You have representation by voting, not by a court-ordered change in the system. If certain groups feel they're not represented, they need to organize their groups with grass-roots efforts and get them to get out and vote. That's what this country was founded on - the will of the people - not the dictation of the courts! It's very offensive and ignorant for one to assume that people would vote based on a candidate's skin color.
