Small black city is "taken over" as soon as they get a large lucrative corporate investment..

"Mason is 60% Black and includes descendants of men, women and children enslaved in the area before Emancipation. For more than a century the town was led by White elected officials."

am i misreading? if there are 60% black people and 40% white people...how can the mayors be white for 100 years? there are more black people? and they could have voted for at least half a century?

I wouldn't be surprised if gerrymandering has a hand in this.

The greatest progress for Black folks came from actively challenging the system for change and engaging in politics. Group Economics, "building" and all that is definitely important, but unless we fight for protections to be put in place, the same thing will keep happening.

You cant even stop deflecting for two seconds, this is a Republican red state Tennessee government.

Stop being so damn stupid all the time


Arguing in a Republican vs Democrat conversation like the useless parrot you are. I was talking government in general, stay on topic


Anytime I see a Black person support Socialism, I immediately know that White Acceptance is at the top of their list, and completely ignorant of the history of Socialism against Black people. That State has always been our enemy

- Slavery was State sanctioned
- Jim Crow Laws was State sanctioned
- Prison Industrial Complex is state sanctioned
- Union Laws against Black people are state sanctioned
- Welfare laws to get the Black man out of Black Family homes was state sanctioned
