🎧 Podcast Description:
In this episode of Black Ink: Inside The Black Wall Street Times, host Nehemiah Frank (aka Neo) breaks down how gerrymandering is being weaponized to silence Black voices at the ballot box. From Texas to Oklahoma to Georgia, Republican-led legislatures are redrawing district lines to dilute the political power of communities of color—using modern-day tactics rooted in Jim Crow strategies. Neo exposes the “crack and pack” techniques, the mid-decade redistricting power grabs, and the devastating impact on Black representation.
He also dives into the broader attack on progressive, Black-owned media in the era of post-DEI backlash—and why platforms like Substack are now lifelines for independent journalism.
If you’ve ever wondered why your vote feels like it doesn’t count, this episode explains why—and what we must do to fight back.
