Why would NY City Council intentionally act to dilute the vote of black citizens ?
I’m not a mind reader. If you want an answer, why don’t you ask the City Council why they have done so by allowing foreign nationals to vote in the city’s election?

let us not forget during the coming election what the Revolutionary Democrat Party Leadership has done to our businesses, our families, our children and our homeland.
I predict they will withdraw the bill and write another workaround that does the same thing but with a different rationale that might squeeze through a constitutional check and balance. And if that fails, they’ll try a third and fourth workaround .

Do black voters usually vote in a way that NYC city council does not like ?
I’m not a mind reader. If you want an answer, why don’t you ask the City Council?
What I do know is, the City Council has in fact diluted the Black vote in NYC with over 400 thousand foreign national votes

Everyone’s vote is diluted, is it not ? Why focus specifically on black voters ?
Perhaps you should ask Black voters in NYC. Maybe it’s because the Blacks complaining are Citizens, and believe allowing foreign nationals to vote in NYC elections violates their civil rights.
“[T]he right of suffrage can be denied by a debasement or dilution of the weight of a citizen’s vote just as effectively as by wholly prohibiting the free exercise of the franchise.” Reynolds v. Sims, 377 U. S. 533, 555 (1964).”

There is no better way to weaken, subdue and bring to its knees a prosperous and freedom loving country than by flooding it with deadly drugs, an inflated currency and the poverty stricken, poorly educated, low skilled, diseased, disabled, and criminal populations of other countries
Whereas non-black voters are not ?
I have no idea what you are asking. You seem to question why the Public Interest Legal Foundation filed the lawsuit. If you are really interested HERE IS THE COMPLAINT

What will it take for American Citizens to accept the fact that their homeland is under attack orchestrated by the Biden Administration?
I am asking whether there are non-black voters in New York who are US citizens.
And you know the answer. Of course there are. Aside from that, you seem to question the legitimacy of the Public Interest Legal Foundation filing the lawsuit they did. What do you find objectionable or an illegitimate complaint? HERE IS THE COMPLAINT
Keep in mind what our very own Supreme Court has stated in regard to diluting the vote:
“[T]he right of suffrage can be denied by a debasement or dilution of the weight of a citizen’s vote just as effectively as by wholly prohibiting the free exercise of the franchise.” Reynolds v. Sims, 377 U. S. 533, 555 (1964).”

I believe the parry to your thrust is that white voters who are having their vote diluted could perhaps equally file a suit, but the justice system might be a lot less sympathetic to a complaint from an allegedly privileged group.

If the complaint is that NYC council is acting deliberately to restrict the rights of black citizens, it obviously has no merit.
Obviously I am fine with court deciding the legality of the voting expansion, that’s what courts are for. It’s the allegation that this law targets one demographic that makes zero sense.
Even so, aren’t there plenty of other demographics ? Especially in a place like NYC.
zero sense?
The problem with your thinking appears to be, you question the legitimacy of citizens, who happen to be Black, filing a lawsuit because their vote is being diluted by foreign nationals. Is their vote being diluted by foreign nationals? And in answer to that very question our S. C. has stated: “[T]he right of suffrage can be denied by a debasement or dilution of the weight of a citizen’s vote just as effectively as by wholly prohibiting the free exercise of the franchise.” Reynolds v. Sims, 377 U. S. 533, 555 (1964).”
The scary truth about allowing foreigners to vote in local elections is, when acts of corruption infect an electoral process in one jurisdiction [as they do in NYC] “they transcend mere local concern and extend a contaminating influence into the national domain.” Justice DOUGLAS in United States v. Classic (1941)”.
Also, let us not forget the wisdom of Justice Story:
“If aliens might be admitted indiscriminately to enjoy all the rights of citizens at the will of a single state, the Union might itself be endangered by an influx of foreigners, hostile to its institutions, ignorant of its powers, and incapable of a due estimate of its privileges.” – Joseph Story

Why have a written constitution approved by the people if those who it is designed to control are free to make it mean whatever they wish it to mean?
Only part I am questioning is the implication that the law targets one specific demographic when all are obviously affected.
Why on earth do you question Black Citizens complaining that their vote is being diluted by allowing foreign nationals to vote in NYC elections, when the complaint is indisputably a true?
JWK
I am repeating myself.
The only part that is being questioned by me is the implication that this law targets a specific demographic.
It’s obvious you are repeating yourself rather than explain why you question the reasoning for the Public Interest Legal Foundation filing the lawsuit. Of course the NYC voting law “targets” a specific demographic . . . IT TARGETS FOREIGN NATIONALS, allowing them to exercise a citizen’s right to vote . . . a right denied to Black citizens which they fought tooth and nail to exercise, and exercise as “Citizens of the United States.” Do you not see distinction between Citizens of the United States and foreign nationals?

No, the part that I took issue with is the implication that the law is being enacted to specifically dilute black vote - as if no other demographic currently votes in NYC i.e. racist NYC city council is doing this to target black voters.
I am not sure why you continue to misrepresent my point.
