John Roberts is slowly dismantling America

8. There is a complication

The central question is whether it is constitutional to take race into account when it comes to redistricting.

Assume a region with an area where Black families are concentrated. There are two alternatives.

ONE. Split the Black community between/among 2 or more voting districts, thereby making them a minority in each district.

TWO. Create a "Majority-Minority District" which keeps the Black community together and, essentially, gerrymanders a district to give one minority a guaranteed electoral majority in that district. There are "Majority-Minority Districts" all over the country.

Now, while I as a lifelong FDR New Deal Democrat who grew up in the Jim Crow South support #TWO, why is is right to provide a racial minority group a gerrymandered district of their own but it is wrong to split the Black community among other districts, making them a minority in each district? Both decisions are made on the basis of race.
