前俄克拉荷马州众议院议长驳斥奥巴马对最高法院选举权法案裁决的悲观解读
T.W. 香农辩称，更多歧视无法解决政坛种族主义问题，他认为少数族裔无需通过特意划分的选区就能赢得民选公职。

塔赫罗洪·韦恩（T.W.）香农是俄克拉荷马州首位非裔众议院议长，他正在反驳巴拉克·奥巴马总统对少数族裔选民前景的悲观看法。此前，最高法院于周三作出裁决，重塑了具有里程碑意义的1965年《选举权法案》。
奥巴马认为法院“抛弃”了平等参与的原则，而香农则认为，该裁决进一步将种族因素排除在美国政坛之外，并以自己的经历作为证据，证明少数族裔无需特殊待遇就能赢得公职。
“那种认为必须通过种族划分选区才能获胜和参与竞争的观点简直是无稽之谈，”目前正在竞选副州长的香农说道。
周三，法院以意识形态阵营划分的6票对3票作出裁决，推翻了路易斯安那州第6国会选区的划分方案。该选区于2024年重新划分，选民以黑人为主。法院同时裁定，各州不得利用种族因素划分选区，无论是为了剥夺选民投票权，还是为了帮助少数族裔社区支持他们心仪的候选人。

奥巴马在X平台上对该裁决作出回应，称这一裁决对少数族裔而言是灾难性的。
“这不过是又一个例证，表明现任法院多数派似乎有意放弃其确保民主平等参与、保护少数群体权利免受多数派越权侵害的重要职责，”奥巴马写道。
香农强烈反对，辩称这位前总统的说法只会加剧“种族分裂”。
“最高法院真正做到的是表明，你不能通过歧视他人来纠正歧视。在重新划分选区时，种族不应成为决定性因素，”香农告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。
“整个国家都对奥巴马夫妇及其持续抱怨美国有多糟糕、有多种族主义感到厌倦和失望，”香农补充道。

尽管民主党人辩称，该裁决可能会被以非种族因素为借口，用来削弱少数族裔的投票权，但香农表示，他的经历表明，无论选区如何划分，候选人都能取得成功。
“我27岁时当选俄克拉荷马州众议院议员，我所在的选区白人占多数。选民以压倒性优势选举了我。我是首位赢得该选区的共和党人，”香农说道。
“后来进入州议会后，以白人为主的议会选举我担任俄克拉荷马州众议院议长。”

香农指出，他仍然认为美国存在种族主义，并称其为与人类状况相伴的“原罪”。
“让这个国家变得伟大的东西有三样，我称之为三大支柱：资本主义、宪法和基督教。解决种族主义的方法是让更多信徒践行耶稣基督赋予的自由，这是我所知的解决种族主义的唯一途径，”香农说道。

Black conservative unleashes on Obama for ‘constantly whining’ after SCOTUS voting rights decision
May 1, 2026 5:35pm EDT / Fox News
The court ruled 6-3 that states may not use race to draw congressional districts, even to help minority communities

Former speaker of the Oklahoma House of Representatives pushes back against Obama’s bleak interpretation of SCOTUS Voting Rights Act decision
T.W. Shannon argues that more discrimination won’t solve racism in politics, believes minorities don’t need specially drawn districts to win elected office.

Tahrohon Wayne (T.W.) Shannon, who was Oklahoma’s first African American speaker of the House, is pushing back on President Barack Obama’s pessimistic outlook for minority voters following the Supreme Court’s Wednesday ruling reshaping the landmark 1965 Voting Rights Act.
Where Obama saw the court “abandoning” principles of equal participation, Shannon believes the ruling further pushes race out of American politics, highlighting his own story as evidence that minorities don’t need special treatment to win office.
“This idea that you must have a racially drawn district in order to win and compete is just nonsense,” Shannon, who is currently running for lieutenant governor, said.
In its 6-3 decision delivered along ideological lines on Wednesday, the court struck down Louisiana’s 6th Congressional District, which was redrawn in 2024 to have a predominantly black electorate. The court also ruled that states may not use race to either draw districts that disenfranchise voters or help minority communities support their preferred candidates.

Obama, reacting to the decision on X, called the ruling disastrous for minorities.
“It serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach,” Obama wrote.
Shannon disagreed fiercely, arguing that the former president’s framing would only inflame “racial division.”
“What the Supreme Court really did is say that you can’t fix discrimination by discriminating against people. Race should not be a deciding factor when it comes to redistricting,” Shannon told Fox News Digital.
“The entire country is just kind of tired and disappointed in the Obamas and their constantly whining about how awful and racist America is,” Shannon added.

While Democrats argue the ruling could be abused to dilute minority voting power under the pretext of nonracial factors, Shannon says his experience shows candidates can succeed regardless of how districts are drawn.
“When I was elected, I was 27 years old, to the Oklahoma House of Representatives, I was elected in a majority-white district. They elected me overwhelmingly. I was the first Republican to win my district,” Shannon said.
“And then when I got to the legislature, a predominantly white legislature elected me to be the leader of the Oklahoma State House of Representatives.”

Shannon noted that he still believes racism exists in America, calling it “sin” that is tied to the human condition.
“The things that made this country great are three. I call them the three C’s. It’s capitalism, it’s the Constitution, and it’s Christianity. The way you fix racism is by having more believers exercising the freedom that exists within Jesus Christ. That’s the only way I know to fix racism,” Shannon said.
