Hinds County is over 70% Black and Jackson is over 80% Black.
For context, this is the same courthouse where Freedom Riders were tried, police rioted and attacked Medgar Evers and supporters of the Tougaloo 9, and the person who killed Medgar Evers was found guilty.

🚨Innocent Healthcare Worker Held at Gunpoint in Houston Case of Mistaken Identity
A medical professional was brutally targeted, misidentified, slammed onto concrete, and held at gunpoint by Houston Police officers only to be released without a single word of apology.
They were looking for a suspect related to a car theft. They admitted they misidentified her.
She has since been treated at the hospital and is actively seeking legal representation and community assistance.
The physical and emotional trauma inflicted by this unwarranted brutality has deeply impacted both her and her family. No one should ever have to fear for their safety while commuting to serve others.
We need justice, accountability, and answers.

Black descendants of slaves are literally the only people in the Americas who are not immigrants (apart from indigenous people)… being abduct and immigrating is not the same thing my ancestors didn’t intend to go from Africa to the Caribbeans either they were trafficked

FBA is anti-Black. it is a chronically online identity for the most bigoted and anti-intellectual demographic of Black people on social media. They advocate violence routinely against other Black people. Their rhetoric does not align with African aka Black americans in real life.

What has Tommy Curry said about the fact that the 2 black rightwing gubernatorial candidates are cishet black men? They got so much to say about ANY black woman in office but NOTHING to say about cishet black men’s legacy of rightwing politics.
Because he’s full of shit.
🚨 BREAKING: At the Daytona Beach midterm rally, Byron Donalds HITS BACK after David Jolly called his agenda "anti-black."
@ByronDonalds: "You see, my opponent, he said the other day that my agenda was anti-black... Can you believe the stupidness that comes out of that fraud David Jolly's mouth?"
"Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know if you know this... Your next governor has been Black his entire life."
"But the color of my skin is not what qualifies me to be your governor."
"The vision for a great Florida, the vision for a free Florida, the vision for a Florida where it doesn't matter what the color of your skin is, a Florida whether you live in Miami, the Panhandle, or the heartland, that we fight for all of Florida, that is what qualifies me to be your next governor."
