Some form of proportional representation would obviously be preferable.

You could never get it perfectly proportional short designating by that group A gets X amount of seats set garunteed, group B gets.. etc. But I would prefer moving closer to a world where race doesn't matter one way or another. And of course that world could never exist with VRA districts, regardless of if they're heart is in the right place.

I wasn't suggesting such a system.

Sheesh, I just meant give a state like LA six seats. You'd probably see two black Congressmen on average. Much easier than silly districts.
