I'm not sure this analysis is complete. Creating minority districts generally favor the GOP overall because it concentrates higher numbers of Dem voters into fewer winnable districts - IOW exactly what GOP gerrymanders try to do. Spreading out Black votes could actually create more swingable districts. In any case the outcome is going to be more complicated than this byline implies. It will certainly hit minority representation, but that's not the same thing as hurting the Dem party.

Now I understand the Kwame pardon, he must be consulting for the administration.

I think this is true.  The minority districts were positive in that more minority representation in government is good but it did create the negative aspect of less competitive districts.  However, Citizens United and other gerrymandering malfeasance is killing that anyway.
