Will Mississippi Finally Go For Decency or Will They Continue To Go For Bigotry In Racism?

[Correll]

Yet the other three districts (1, 3 and 4) are 1/4, 1/3, and 1/4 black. If what Gator said was true, the 2nd would have more turns than a NASCAR road course. The 2nd is no more oddly shaped than the other 3. That says that a large concentration of blacks lives in a distinct geographical area of the state.

You are the one that brought up it was gerrymandered, why are you now running from that? Why bring it up if you are just going to pretend you never posted it?

The other three districts aren't gerrymandered. The one that has a 63.5% black population is and it's done to favor a certain class.

If you draw a district to favor a certain "class" or race in one district, you are by default hurting them in the others. The way Mississippi is drawn off you will almost always have one black and the rest white.

Not at all.

Two obvious alternatives.

1. Without concentration in one district, there is no chance of any blacks winning.

2. Despite concentration, qualified black candidates have an equal chance of winning in other districts.

1. Why do blacks not have a chance of winning without concentration? Will the White people of Mississippi not vote for them?

I've seen that reason used for gerrymandering that way.


Personally my view is that second option is more likely, these days.


BUT, my point was to refute your assumption that the gerrymanding as it was done, would hurt blacks.

She has voted for Trumps Agenda, that is a major PLUS. She is continuing the projects that were started by her predecessor the the thief would stop. She has worked to upgrade the insurance choices people in Mississippi have. >>>>> you don’t know shit you just spout it. Now let’s see your little spout of shit denying any of that.

The big Senate run-off is happening today.

What do you guys think the result will be?

Will they finally move away from the stigma of bigotry and racism, or will they step into the 21st century and run AWAY from that stain?

The choice is clear, Cindy Hyde-Smith is a choice to remain the same, Mike Espy is a conscious decision to put the past behind, but what will they do? And why?

When is the 37% black population in Mississippi going to quit choosing to live on the Democrat plantation?

BTW, the only congressional district in Mississippi that has a greater than 20% use of food stamps if 2/3 black. Does that surprise anyone? It shouldn't. If it does, you're an idiot.

If, as you say, the black population of Mississippi (37%) is on the Democrat plantation....does that mean that the white population of Mississippi is on the GOP plantation?

It's a Republican run state dummy.

It's a Democrat controlled district which, BTW, was gerrymandered with a 2/3 black population guaranteeing someone that couldn't get hired to shine shoes at the Capitol would get elected. Why isn't Bennie Thompson doing any better for his people? Maybe he is doing the best he can with what he has to work with.

This is for Senator....the entire state.....gerrymandering doesn't apply in a state-wide office election.

I looked back at district 1, going back to the 1920s, not a single non-white has won there.

Same holds true for the 3rd as well.

 

[OKTexas]

Your little commiecrat has no chance, as it should be. Someone should bitch slap you for playing the race card.

.

Would you like to be the first to try tough guy?

Wouldn't dirty my hands on a commie propagandist like you. I just point and laugh. Now run along, don't you have some race baiting to do?

.

 

[bodecea]

Mike Espy is a conscious decision to put the past behind,

Racism is voting for a guy just because he is black.

Obama taught us skin color doesn't equal ability or competence. ...

How does one know if one is voting for someone just because they are black?

 

[12icer]

No plantation on the conservative side, just conservative DEMOCRATS, and REPUBLICANS. None vote for murderers the real racist, treasonist, or dimshit socialist.

It's not really that. In Miss, at most the dems have 40% and the gop 60%, with blacks comprising 33-35% total population, and more than 90% of the total democrat vote.

The gop divides up the districts. We have one "democrat" district and three "gop." It is now mathematically impossible for a dem to win in one of the the three gop districts, although conservative dems occupied two before a round of redistricting, and both were voted out during the Obama years when a lot of dems lost seats nationwide.

but now to win any of the three gop districts, a dem would have to get at least 30% of the gop voters in the district. ain't happening.

And I voted for Greg Harper last time around.

 

[WillowTree]

So! If 98% of blacks voted for the black guy is that racist?

Here's a few fun facts about Cindy...

1. She interjected racism when she, out-of-the-blue, said she'd gladly attend a hanging
2. She went to and graduated from a segregated all-white high school, immediately after the anti-segregation laws took place.
3. She sent her daughter to that same high school

But in your drug-addled mind, I'M the one interjecting racism.

#LOLGOP #TooFunny #CLASSIC

What does the word hanging have to do with racism. I can look them up in the Webster’s for you if you think they are in any way synonymous. So how does going to a private school make one racist. If so then there are a lot of rich black racist including the oshitmas

What he’s saying is, if you have a good life, you’re racist

The districts were made that long ago?


Yep. Reason one was probably in the minds of the people that drew the lines.

They have been redrawn a few times but not any major changes.

How does concentrating all of one race in a single district help that race?

 

[bendog]

btw, have my Wyoming baseball cap and Pancho Villa fake mustache for my second round of voting this afternoon. My fake ID says I'm Jose Cuevo!

 

[bendog]

I don't think Bennie Thompson is really a racist. I think he sees "race" when I don't sometimes, but that may be my misperception. I'm not a native to Mississippi.

 

[easyt65]

Then you should have a list of HER accomplishment that led to these improvements you speak of, yes?

Sorry, but according to Democrats, that is not how this works, as they demonstrated with Kavanaugh.

You are a 'racist, sexist, misogynist' for opposing the white woman. You are GUILTY until PROVEN innocent. The burden of proof is on YOU!

Prove you are not - GO!

 

[OKTexas]

From above.


"
RACE BAITING is not about making someone "racist".


It is about convincing other people that the target is racist so that you can marginalize them, and anything they say."






Are you going to pretend I didn't already answer your question again?

No one can provide a definition of what the made up term "race baiting" means, because, its, well...made up.

Race baiting is the use of false accusations of racism to marginalize a person and/or his ideas.

Or injecting race where it's irrelevant to the situation.

[bodecea]

More cheating and lies by The Democrat Party in order to defraud The American Voter.

Oh....and I forgot to add......

Kill Whitey....

Its good for the country says the OP.

What are you whining about now?

It gives them at least ONE seat, instead of being an unrepresented minority in all four districts.
