Callais: “I welcome the Supreme Court’s correct decision. The left has spent decades hiding their racial obsession behind the banner of civil rights. Today, that game ends. “Racial gerrymandering is not protection. It is the left’s plantation politics repackaged with a law degree. The condescending assumption that Black Americans cannot compete without bureaucrats drawing lines around them is not compassion. It is racism with different branding. I am a Black man who has never needed the government to predetermine my outcome. Neither do the voters of this country. “The left claims to champion equality while demanding the government sort every American into a racial box. That is not a civil rights movement. That is a power grab dressed up as one. We cannot become a more perfect union if Democrats continue to treat race as a weapon and black voters as a captive constituency to be managed and mobilized. “Everyone who is a citizen of this great country should first and foremost be an AMERICAN. Regardless of race, religion, zip code, or income, we are all Americans and should be treated as such. The left has never believed that. Today’s ruling says they no longer get to act like it.” ### 1 2026-04-30T06:05:15Z 2026-04-30T06:07:09Z
