PLEASE READ THIS: The congressional redistricting in Tennessee has nothing to do with race. I live in Memphis. This is the reality of the situation:
Rep. Steven Cohen (D-TN) - a white dude - has represented Memphis in Congress for nearly 20 years.
During his tenure, Republicans nominated a BLACK WOMAN as their choice FIVE times.
Democrats could have elected a black woman but she was the wrong political persuasion. So, my question to the black Democrats - did you deny Charlotte Bergmann her seat in Congress because of her skin color or her gender?
Facts matter.
Memphis Democrats loathe black Republicans more than they do white Republicans.
