re: Supreme Court has ruled two black majority districts in Louisiana.

Based on the racial demographics, 2 minority districts is about right. 1 is definitely low when the state is 33% black.

The problem is that the black population is so spread out across the state that you can't create a 2nd district without some serious racial gerrymandering. If it were concentrated in just two areas, there wouldn't be an issue (other than gerrymandering by race being unconstitutional already (see: Miller v Johnson)).
