Ok, so now Bob Brady working with the Republican map drawers is "various white liberals."

No, he is just 1 white liberal. That is why I also note that the Virginia State Senate map displays similar behavior.

And the 15th Amendment is intentionally about race and voting. Fracturing the black vote between districts to dilute their influence and deny them fair representation was a common practice in the South and violates the 15th Amendment. Section 2 VRA is Congress' remedy for that. What remedy would you offer instead?
If you are going to define representation and the right to vote as collective rights, then the only proper solution is to have them exercised collectively as is done in New Zealand and Croatia.
