Which I get and is a valid concern.<br /><br />And I'm still utterly mystified by your JimCrowing this thing. Where did you hear this? Isn't it good to group people by community rather than political convenience? Don't your arguments suggest that minorities et al will end up with better representation?Th.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16460795570237872290noreply@blogger.com
