About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of the Louisiana v. Callais decision on redistricting and racial justice, alongside the NAACP's call for boycotts in response to voting rights issues.

James Keys and Tunde Ogunlana discuss the recent wave of redistricting that has followed the US Supreme Court’s Louisiana v. Callais decision which allowed for partisan gerrymandering even to the extent it is discriminatory and consider how viewing and fighting this as a racial justice issue can both helpful and a hinderance to those who oppose it. The guys then discuss the NAACP’s call for Black athletes to boycott sports programs in large southern universities in response to efforts in those states to minimize Black representation.
