Illinois gerrymandering ignores blacks

Illinois gerrymandering ignores blacks. Illinois does not have one majority black district.

Illinois Democrats have drawn convoluted districts, diluting black votes so that they can maintain Democratic control.

The Princeton Gerrymandering Project grades Illinois with an F. 

SCOTUS recently ruled that redistricting that dilutes black voters is not constitutional: ALLEN, ALABAMA SECRETARY OF STATE, ET AL. v.
MILLIGAN ET AL.

The most recent Illinois US representative redistricting, has extreme gerrymandering and dilution of black voters (see picture below.)

I am curious how or why the recent Alabama ruling can’t be used to support a redistricting challenge by black Republicans in Illinois?
