I was listening to NPR praising a congressional plan to not just gerrymander districts but to allow more than one representative to be appointed that will be representative of the racial makeup of the district. They call it “proportional representation.” Even more disturbing is the fact that a Republican is championing the cause and is concerned that he won’t garner support from his conservative colleagues. What? So every racial group gets their own representative? Does this mean that in Chicago, or Baltimore perhaps, the city will carve out positions to represent conservative white males? I don’t think so. It’s preposterous, it’s unconstitutional, and it is not even close to being representative of a democracy. How many ways can they think of to divide us?
