TRUMP GOES TO MISSISSIPPI?
Whichever American demographic may have mainly voted for Donald Trump as President may be debated. But, one big demographic that definitely DID NOT VOTE FOR TRUMP, was that of African Americans, who had voted in record numbers for Barack Obama, Donald Trump's despised African American predecessor.
Donald Trump's visit therefore this Saturday to the predominantly black city of Jackson, Mississippi, for the dedication of its Civil Rights Museum, is deeply troubling. He could, more properly, have visited Birmingham, Alabama, where his endorsed Republican candidate, Moore, is running for a US Senate seat on December 12, rather than touching down in my birth state, Mississippi, whose name alone send chills and tremors down many blacks ' spines, due to race history.
