The US Congressional Districts of Louisiana have evolved over the last 30 years or so ... please see the Wiki article maps showing the changes that have happened over the years.

Take a good look at the red District #4 - that's Mike Johnson's District, and tell me that's not gerrymandered as all hell. (It is!) The ones they are mainly arguing about are #6 and #2 where concentrations of the Black voters reside. If all of the Black residents were shoved into 2 Districts, then they can't go and spoil it for the White Folks in the other Districts.

If this isn't gerrymandering then I don't know what is.
