Black Memphis District Wants a Black Rep - The Huffington Post

will things like this have any effect on the election..what would happen if white pastors did this?

The article you linked to might be about racism, not discrimination, in my view. The rep was elected and can be voted out in the next election.

Strange article, to be sure.
