Any reasonable map would ignore the racial make-up of the population and just be based on equal population.

This ignores the reality that Black communities have been and still are explicitly drawn out of maps of political representation. This is why the Voting Rights Act was passed, because without explicit protections for Black and other minority racial communities they are systematically disenfranchised.

The refusal of the Alabama legislature to redraw this map without a court order should be proof enough of that.
