Two new state bills that Gov. Tate Reeves signed into on Friday are discriminatory because they focus only on Jackson, a majority-Black city, the NAACP said.

Fuck the NAACP

Blacks have run this city for 50 years and the murder rate is 12x higher than the nat avg!


Blacks have had plenty of time to fix this and its only getting worse


Jackson is headed fast to third world status. No state wants to have it’s capital to become a no go zone.

Time for the state to take over

Misleading

Now the truth




Is the white population in the US really ‘shrinking’?

First the data: The white population didn’t “shrink” to 57.8% as widely reported – unless you believe in the old “one-drop” rule, where one ancestor of another race means you are not fully and authentically accepted as white. Moreover, this statistic excludes people who checked the Hispanic box, many of whom identify as ethnically Hispanic but racially white.

What happened for the first time was people who identify as “white” were also able to document their detailed multi-racial ancestry. In fact, including the 31.1 million white people who indicated they also were part of another racial group, whites in 2020 constituted 71% of the population – an increase of more than 4 million white people since 2010. That’s because the 2020 census form made it much easier for Americans to claim their diverse heritage compared with 2010, and this affects all groups, including the white population.

What’s becoming less common is Americans identifying as only one race. Fully 10% of all Americans selected more than one race, up from just 3% in 2010, a jump from 9 million to 33.8 million in only one decade. So, what could account for the incredible increase in multiracial population by 2020? Birth records indicate that just 2.3 million multiracial children were born during this decade. Certainly, more Black people or Pacific Islanders, for example, may have claimed white ancestry for the first time this decade. But people who previously identified as “white alone”, and who are claiming their Native American, Asian or African American ancestry for the first time, are probably the driving force behind the increase.




The Census Bureau itself acknowledged that the “decline” in the white population is largely due to more white people choosing additional race categories.

Kinda ironic given that Mississippi had one of the highest gun violence rates in the county, what makes you think the State is going to do any better

So much for the belief in small government and local control. The same thing is happening in Texas and Florida. Politics trumps principle.
 
is it discriminatory to apply the law only to those cities which have a crime problem, irrespective of the race of the people committing the crimes?....../

how does this negate small government?......you focus on the problem where it exists.......you don't need to address the whole state to see problems in one city........you can have small government and correct small government problems when they arise......ten years ago Detroit went bankrupt......we didn't have to run Michigan through bankruptcy court, only Detroit........if Jackson can't handle its crime, fix the problem in Jackson, not Mississippi......
