In the case of Mississippi, CHS took her position for granted, did not go out and meet the voters, told them to chose a different protein..etc. Colom decided that he wanted the seat and went out and got it. In the end he won't be all that much different....things will not change all that much for the average Mississippi voter over the next 6 years.
No if's, ands, or buts about it, Colom ran a 10X better campaign than Smith but when the cocoon opens, out flies a Dem. A dem who'll walk lockstep with the party who is hellbent on destroying this nation as founded. That's success for them/him.

“Why does race matter?” sounds principled outside of the historical context of Mississippi and Louisiana.
Nobody is arguing that a candidate deserves office simply because he’s Black, and it’s goofy to pretend that that’s the case. The point is that political representation in the US and especially the Deep South has never existed independently of race/class/power. For generations, Blacks were systematically marginalized. Pretending that history has no bearing on contemporary politics is historical amnesia, not colorblindness.
Nobody cries when wealthy donors organize, but when Blacks organize and gain an inch of political influence, suddenly race should have absolutely nothing to do with politics. “Selective outrage.”
Mississippi and Louisiana are at the bottom of just about every social and economic “list,” and Blacks have always been intentionally underrepresented in government. It isn’t a coincidence.

This is incorrect. Almost every major southern city is run by blacks and has been for years and years. How does that happen if they're so marginalized? Blacks have been systematically privileged sans merit for at least 50 years - yes, even in the South.

This is the exact reason Barry was elected POTUS.
Don't underestimate just how much of an incompetent shite for brains W was in those last 2 years of his presidency that allowed Barry in the picture.

Cities just happen to get way less of a cut of the federal budget since the 1980’s. Funny how that works out.

So you think say Jackson, MS is poorly run because it doesn't get enough subsidies from the federal budget?

You said Blacks are privileged without merit. I will not take you seriously and continue this dialogue. It isn’t important to me that someone who says something so ignorant agrees with me.

You should see this asshat on the Tiger Rant. Every post is about race. Every single one.
