Mississippi: Why is the blackest state the reddest state?

Hattiesburg Mayor Johnny DuPree made history when he won the Democratic Party's nomination for governor of Mississippi on Tuesday. This makes DuPree the first African-American in modern times to receive a major party nomination for the position in the Magnolia State.


Oddly, Mississippi, the blackest, poorest and most federally-dependent state in America is also the most conservative state.  Check out the rest of my analysis at theGrio.

Excellent! Generally My spouse and i never go through complete posts though the means a person wrote this post is merely remarkable and also this stored our fascination with studying and that i loved it.

Its because Republicans routinely suppress the black vote. Voter suppression and fraud is the only way Republicans win elections.

Even though MS is the blackest state in the Union, it is still only 37% black. Almost all blacks in MS vote Democratic. It has nothing to do with suppression. People that have never lived there do not need to comment. They're the ones that are ignorant.
