Activist Gary Chambers testifying against the redistricting bill (gerrymandering) in Louisiana. I was not able to transcribe everything but here are some quotes:
Chambers: "If you are taking seats from black people, which we are entitled to by the constitution of this country, then you are a thief in my opinion. And I'm entitled to that opinion."
State senator Kleinpeter: "I will not be called a thief."
Chambers: "If you're offended by it, that's on you, not me."
"When black men with courage, conviction, and righeousness show up, it triggered something in you, and you feel a way about it. So you try to limit us, you try to steal from us, and you think that we don't understand it."
"So then you come with these white supremacist tactics, because you have the numbers, but you don't have the courage. Because if you were really visionary leaders you'd run against these black men with fair maps."
