Jim Clyburn warns that MAGA Republicans and the Supreme Court are dismantling Black political power across the South through targeted redistricting, voter suppression, and judicial rollbacks. _ For free and unbiased Medicare help, dial (724) 264-8281 to speak with my trusted partner, Chapter, or go to https://askchapter.org/roland *Paid Partnership* _ Jim Clyburn warns that Republican-led redistricting efforts across the South are part of a coordinated attack on Black political power and voting rights. The conversation connects current Supreme Court rulings to a broader rollback of protections established during the Civil Rights Movement, including Shelby and Citizens United. Clyburn argues that dismantling Black districts will strip Black communities of federal resources, political influence, and representation while empowering states willing to suppress Black voting strength. The interview also calls on younger voters to dramatically increase turnout to stop what Clyburn describes as “Jim Crow 2.0.” Black Star Network partner: Chapter Chapter and its affiliates are not connected with or endorsed by any government entity or the federal Medicare program.

Roland, 'Republicans are dismantling BLACK political power'? No. Republicans are dismantling DEMOCRATIC power. Know the difference.

What have the CBC done lately with their political power? I’ve seen them stand and fight for immigrants but not for the black community that voted them in office. They couldn’t get the George Floyd crime bill or the John Lewis voting rights act passed. There’s no black, brown and yellow coalition. We saw that in the 2024 election.

So part of what I heard from Mr Jim Clyburn's disdain was that the black folks in congress will loose their "Ranked Titles" in congress. He's more concerned with finding his way to the Transportation committee office as a seasoned congressman easier than a new guy coming in to replace him. Now, my question to this dude and others like him is; what exactly did your constituents send you to represent them in congress for? All these dudes have been in Congress for many years but have very little to show for it while the regular black folks back home continue to suffer. More than half of them go there for selfish reasons and line up their pockets on tax payers dime. This assertion goes to both parties.
