Mississippi is the blackest state per capita. Having no black senator since reconstruction is definitely due to racism

Scott Colom just became the first black US senator elected in Mississippi since 1875. Let thank sink in, that’s nearly 150 years ago and only a decade after slavery was abolished🤯

Here's a photo of Blanche Bruce, the last Black person to represent Mississippi in the U.S. Senate. He was born into slavery in 1841.
Scott Colom is currently up 43 votes over incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith.

Democrat Scott Colom is the Projected Winner in the Mississippi Senate election. He will defeat Incumbent Republican Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith.
Democratic Gain

Scott Colom is poised to do the impossible: flip Mississippi blue. He’ll be the first Black U.S. senator from Mississippi since Reconstruction.
And when he does, it will be because of conversations like this. Going to MAGA rallies and talking to voters in line.
I reall like that Stevie Wonder sample in "Part Time Mutha", the production on that song fit that era perfectly.

JD trying to save his political career. He knew the Administration's policy failed but only speak out after the election.
One of the things the data analysts on our side obsessed over was "composition"—whether the electorate looked close enough to 2024 for Republicans to win. And despite polls that showed a Democrat blowout, the data kept on telling us the same story: in some states turnout was merely OK, in other states it was downright amazing, and in no state was it catastrophic. There was a genuine sense of optimism on our team: our people were showing up.
So, I asked the smartest data guy I know, does that mean we're going to shock the world? "No," he told me. "We might do better than the polls suggest. But the data is telling us that a lot of Trump/Vance 2024 voters are pissed and planning to vote for the other guys. Our voters are turning out, but they may not vote for us."
Well, that looks prophetic now. Our voters did show up. In Florida, for example, the electorate was 9 points more Republican than Democrat, just a couple points worse than 2024. Undoubtedly there were places we could have done better on turnout. But the main problem is not turnout. The main problem is that many people who voted for Trump/Vance in 2024 voted for Democrats in 2026.
There will be a lot of infighting and arguing over what happened and why that is. One of the pollsters I really respect told me that our economic messaging wasn’t sharp enough down the stretch. I’m sure that’s true.
But the real reason we lost is obvious to almost everyone.
Another pollster—one of the smartest people I know in politics, told me yesterday we’d lose the generic ballot by 13 points. I felt negative going into Tuesday, but even I was shocked by this. In his polling, he saw that a lot of Trump 2024 voters were angry and planning to vote for Democrats. He asked those voters who had abandoned us what would cause them to come back on our team. The top four answers, accounting for nearly all of the responses were:
1) End the war
2) Focus on cost of living/inflation
3) Put America First
4) Change our relationship to Israel
Our voters showed up. And the above four reasons are why many of them voted for Democrats. This is according to a pollster who nailed the results. While many spent Monday attacking Rachel Campos Duffy for calling for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict, it turns out her political advice was sound. (She’s also a great person.)
In the next few months, there's going to be a lot of gaslighting. Expect to hear any number of establishment politicians say the solution to our woes is amnesty. I'm open to the idea that we should change enforcement—by focusing more on businesses that hire illegal labor, for instance. But anyone pushing amnesty is lying to you.
The reason we lost is the war. The president himself said so last night.
If you'd like to argue it was worth it, that losing the Senate for the next 6 years was worth it, then do so. Argue it was a worthwhile cost to pay. Agree or disagree, that's at least honest.
But everyone knows why we lost. And any honest conversation about where we go from here must start there.
I remain hopeful about our country. To the people who are pissed off and want to say, “I told you so”: you’re right, you did tell us so. Take that energy into electing Republicans who share your worldview. To the people who are just pissed at the results, you should be. Let’s take that anger and get back to the work of saving our country.

Naomi Osaka's Grandfather Refused to Speak to Her Mother for Years. In 2018, He Wept Watching Naomi on Television
Somewhere in Hokkaido, a 73-year-old man watched his granddaughter on television, and wept.
His name is Tetsuo Osaka. And for years, he had not spoken to his own daughter.
Her name is Tamaki. She grew up in Nemuro, a fishing town at the eastern tip of Hokkaido. Her mother's ancestors fished in the Kuril Islands until the Soviet Union took them over at the end of the Second World War, and the family moved to Nemuro. For high school, Tamaki went to Sapporo. There, in 1990, she met a Haitian-American college student named Leonard François.
They kept the relationship secret for years. When Tamaki's father began pushing the idea of an arranged marriage, she told him about Leonard. He did not approve. He accused her of bringing shame on the family, because Leonard was not Japanese or simply he was Black.
The couple moved far away from Hokkaido, to the city of Osaka. That is where Naomi was born, in October 1997. Her surname, in the end, came from her mother's side.
For a long stretch, Tamaki had little to no contact with her family. Accounts differ on how long. One says about five years. Another says about a decade. A third says twelve years.
Then, slowly, the silence ended.
Naomi's Japanese grandfather had been against the family's plan for her tennis, and the decision to homeschool her. But he came around. Eventually, he became one of her biggest supporters.
When she won the US Open in 2018, he was 73, and he cried. In January 2019, at 74, he smiled at a press conference in Nemuro, the town his daughter had left. In 2021, he told a Japanese newspaper that he would like Naomi to open a tennis school for children in Nemuro. He likened her to an alpinist, always going after higher mountains.
I dont applaud these stories. Osaka's grandad sounds like a racist prick who only "came around" when he saw the world class athletic potential of his granddaughter. If Naomi was a regular ass person, would he have warmed to her existence? Maybe but why should we give him the benefit of the doubt that he would have?

Leclerc thought he had Hamilton covered and solved after last year. And he did. Last year. But this aint last year, these are new regs and he's Charles Leclerc, a fast yet error prone driver while Lewis is still HIM, A 7 time WDC.
"It's almost like he's losing his mind that he might potentially finish behind Hamilton in the championship standings and it means absolutely everything to him."
@TomP1Bellingham said it best.
Just one of Oscar Peterson's fingers has more historical value and worth than all four of your monkey ass limbs and brain. Eat shit.
