It's a Republican run state dummy.When is the 37% black population in Mississippi going to quit choosing to live on the Democrat plantation?
BTW, the only congressional district in Mississippi that has a greater than 20% use of food stamps if 2/3 black. Does that surprise anyone? It shouldn't. If it does, you're an idiot.
It's a Democrat controlled district which, BTW, was gerrymandered with a 2/3 black population guaranteeing someone that couldn't get hired to shine shoes at the Capitol would get elected. Why isn't Bennie Thompson doing any better for his people? Maybe he is doing the best he can with what he has to work with.
Yes, the 2nd district was gerrymandered by the GOP controlled Mississippi congress to keep as many black votes in one district as possible, but not for the good of the black voters.
There's nothing unusual about the shape of Mississippi's 2nd district or any of the other three. Perhaps the reason for the 63.5% population is that many of the cities where blacks make up a large population happen to be within that normal shaped district.
