Jackson, Mississippi...

My late distant cousin, Chokwe Lumumba, was the Mayor of Jackson, MS, up until he passed away in 2014.

It's an overwhelmingly black city.

Jackson where the State of Mississippi is attempting to steal city administrated resources.

And two of the most racist motherfuckers walking around, Trump and Farage, staged a white power rally in that city.

Fuck these people.

I am actually going to write a letter today to the Jackson, Mississippi NAACP to ask them to please tell their community not to fall for anything that this wolf in sheep's clothing has to say! I am going to ask this NAACP chapter to remind their community: 1) how Trump used to try and deny housing to minorities on his properties; 2) that Trump wants voting laws to be changed (changed in such a way that it makes it harder for the black community to vote); 3) that if he really wanted to help minorities, why would he have hired Steve Bannon, a promoter of white nationalism, to be the CEO of his campaign; 4) that he has never with a passioned plea said that he does not want the support of his racist base.

You can not go your whole life not helping minorities and expect to be believed now just because you're running for the Presidency and you want to win! And, Trump says "what have you got to lose" well, he can most definitely make things a whole hell of a lot worse!

Heck...I'm going to send my letter to a lot of NAACP chapters throughout the country!!
