How Black Voters in Alabama Are Fighting G.O.P. Redistricting
Video Overview & Insights
At just 8 years old, Sheyann Webb-Christburg marched for Black voting rights in Selma, Ala., alongside the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Now, as Southern Republicans race to redraw voting maps before the midterm elections, Webb-Christburg and other Black voters are protesting what they fear is the erasure of their voices.
Guarantee you the Civil Rights Act will be next.

voting rights act is racist
@Eddie-b1w4eBLACK PEOPLE CAN STILL VOTE.
WE CAN STILL VOTE.
Trump, the Republicans, and MAGA ought to be ashamed of themselves for this racist BS!!!!
@its-me-dragonettaI'd rather eat dirt than work for any political organization for any amount of money.
In fact, I'd eat dirt just to make you think I'm crazy, so you'll leave me the f alone......
How's that for clarity?
What is next? Back to segregation?? How can the highest court that we have think that disinfrancising an entire population is fair? But, gerrymandering, which provides advantages to a population is okay. The SCOTUS got this WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. Stop doing this to our black brothers and sisters. The country majority wants equality and we want this to stop.
@LindaJones-z1qI cannot believe this is happening
.As a Independents I am going to.vote much differently. If this happens to black people.
I am Caucasian & this is WRONG
They are being lied to by the democrats who are the party of the KKK
@Doug_HefernenWhy not just get rid of the Electoral College and it be one person per vote, get rid of the maps altogether. All of this racism is ridiculous! If white people hate blacks so much why are they always tanning their skin to be darker? We all spend green money, we all bleed red, and we all have the same type of body parts, so what's the big difference between blacks and whites? We all eat the same foods why make it a black and white issue. One race is no better than the next, we are all birth the same way. Children are not born racist, they are taught to be racist. I was brought up to love thy neighbor no matter what race they are, children are color blind, they will play together until the racist parent makes it an issue. Why would you raise you child or children to not like someone that's not the same color you are, that is a sick human being. What if African Americans stop spending their money supporting white owned businesses and spend only with blacks, what if blacks only give blood to blacks only when someone need a blood transfusion, do they tell the Dr. to only give them a white person's blood, heart, or kidney, no they don't care what color they are they just want their life to be saved. It is sick how some people's mindsets are. God didn't just make this world for white people, he made it for blacks, whites and other nationalities, they don't own this world God does. If more people will read their Bibles they will know better. I pray that God steps in and show these selfish, ungrateful, hatedul, spiteful, people who really owns this world. No matter how they try to separate us God still has the final say so and I trust and believe in God and not man or woman no matter what color they are. Every knee shall bow before God. How are you living your life and where would you go on judgement day? God is real! All of these so called rich people cannot take anything with them, God can take them right now and they will leave with nothing and go straight to h3ll. Mind how you treat people, everybody has an expiration date and you never know when your date is coming, so why not everybody live the American dream and stop trying to keep the next person from living their dream, there is enough for everybody. Being greedy and thinking you are all power is a dangerous road to be on. God is all of our father and he sits high and looks low, he sees all and he does not like what this world has become. America is being judged, a lot of things are getting ready to be revealed that these evil people has been trying to hide. Watch God work and reveal it all no matter how they try to hide it. They may think they are getting away with the stealing and treating people inhumane in these warehouses, stealing the taxpayers money, and just deliberately doing people wrong, watch how God expose them. God got this, Satan will not win, his days are over and he knows it. Watch God's raft!
@NoFilta9519Keep fighting ❤
@MaryPayne-i9nHow about American votes? Everyone identified by race these days?
@johnc3473Segregation is good now?
@saltyandthebeefcracker4863All people's votes count every single one of them❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
@ChristineBregenzerRacism has to stop 🛑🛑🛑🛑😭😭
@ChristineBregenzerDon't discriminate😮😮😮😮😮😮
@ChristineBregenzerBlack voters should be able to vote like everybody else do not discriminate that is not right everybody should vote except young children😮😮
@ChristineBregenzerThey have the right to vote and now the chance to think about their choice of who to vote for. Not be told who to vote for. Segregation voting ain't what MLK had in mind. Integration was his goal. Well that's what the Selma bridge was about. This is what those marches was about, Integration, equal rights. You got equal now seems that ain't enough.
@Reg-g4g🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
@IanManuelOfficialThe LAMEST president and person to EVER live.😅😮😮😮😮.
@bensmith4194No black voters are restricted from voting anytime , this is not the 1800s !
Louisiana had been racially redisteric not for black voters but for black Democrat politicians for 40-50 yrs ! The Supreme Court stopped this Democrat gerrymandering!
Virginia took what was a 6- 5 Democrat representation and tried to make it a 10- 1 Democrat representation! Just like it is up the east coast Virginia north and Illinois.! No Republicans representation!
Corruption to highest level is what this felon 47 is doing. The correct name is cheating. This felon 47 will do what ever to win.
@magdalisalmodovar9113It's so funny how when it benefits black people it's not racist. But the second you take race out of it and it no longer benefits a certain race then it's racist
@mattreynolds8862Equality is being enforced not on race.
@mattreynolds8862This channel erases comments.
@mattreynolds8862Nothing racist about this it's taking race out of the drawing of the lines
@mattreynolds8862😢🙏🙏🙏🙏☮️
@kassandrasworld4463What part of don't black people understand. You still have your right to vote. But now Democrats have to earn their seat in government not just handed to them because they are black... That's what equality looks like...
@annmhmoore0771All of these so called" black" area seats were actually just gimmies. These people will get elected and then stay there for 50 years. Think Maxine Waters. None of these seats have ever been earned. This forces people to actually work and pitch their ideas. Regardless of skin color, you shouldn't be allowed to just have a seat based on what color you are. Obama was President of the United States and he's black. Colin Powell, Tim Scott etc all worked to get to where they are.
"Let's just carve out 40 or 50 congressional seats around the country and give them to black people for the sake of doing it"
That's not how things work
Never vote for any republican. They are racist and misogynistic. Republicans only care to kiss Rump's b**t. They have abandoned Americans. Rump is a narcissistic who is delusional, demented and deranged. He has publicly said he does NOT think about Americans' financial issues. He is destroying the gains America has made since as far back as the Civil War.
Vote blue for every election from local to state to federal to drain the MAGA swamp.
Everyone needs to vote in the midterms. Vote blue to save America and democracy.
Good riddance
@herb_chetlandHORRIFIC.
@kateleee23We have the right to build communities, and to have those communities represented politically. As Americans we must demand all communities have a seat at the table.
@ruth_gordonHaven't black Americans sacrificed enough . must they fight every justice battle. And how have black americans benefited from these courageous battles they waged. Seems to me the Democrats bent over backwards to cater to illegal migrants and black citizens got zero..
@marianforeman8865Alabama is a German state.
@mekichey129What a beautiful video about the power of the minority to honor their legacy of fighting back! We do owe it to all who came before us to keep fighting for equality and justice for everyone. Kudos NYT and kudos modern freedom fighters in the South!
@maryjanebraddockAs a Black voter, this isn’t a thing. For context, I’m from Tennessee.
@mcgeedarionIt isn’t enough to not racist. We as a society need to be anti-racist
@angelsummertimecutefaceAll because reconstruction failed
@pinchevulpessТрумп рпа путлер Иран натаньяку си взп орбановцы Attention, this time is many times worse than during World War II.
We stand for good. Supposedly Schmodners — Lenin, Stalin, Putin’s Epsteins, Russians–Muscovites, Trumpists, UEFA, IOC, Mask-like figures, Witkoffs, trash elites, China, MAGA, the Budapest Memorandum, CSTO, UAE, BRICS, SCO, North Korea, Lenin, Trotsky, Stalin, Putin, Hungary–fascism out of the European Union, communists, far-right thieves, oligarchs, CPSU, marauders, corrupt officials, Mask-like figures, Fico, Milosevics, Babiš, Schröder, Merkel, Lukashenko supporters, Orban supporters, and their accomplices — through wars, Holodomor–famine, lies, corruption, genocides — killed hundreds of millions of innocent people.
Defeat to the perpetrators of genocide. Courts, tribunals, life imprisonment with full confiscation and reparations for centuries.
Thanks to the people of Ukraine, the USA, the European Union, all peoples of good. Victory will be ours, truth is always and everywhere on our side.
The Republican Party is a home for haters of all types, including racists. Vote blue, and kick the party of hate out of DC!
@tominmtnvwIt ISN’T OKAY TO BE RACIST
@DawnWmsonYou are not alone! Freedom matters!
@catalinacurioRedistricting gave minorities unfair advantage. Now it's being removed. Such a tragedy.
@kain0067Republicans want North Korea secret police. Republicans want to destroy the US.
@GPSniper1fatigue is real
@kleftys70Everyone gets one vote. Race is irrelevant. The blacks need to stop crying.
@golfncrypto1542Alabama has not changed. It is a state to avoid at all costs.
@radiant_plusGreat reporting 👏👏👏
