Charles Evers, the brother of slain civil rights icon Medgar Evers, came out Friday in support of Donald Trump for president.
Himself a civil rights activist who in 1969 became the first black mayor in Mississippi, Evers said the GOP front-runner has the business acumen for the job.
“I think he’s the best one right now,” Evers, 93, told The Post. “He’s someone like me: he speaks from the hip. He’s not a politician.”
Evers said the Mississippi economy would benefit from a president who could bring back industries that have fled overseas. “We need more and more jobs. Unemployment is way up here,” he said. “He’s hired more employees, more people, than anyone I know in the world.”
Evers also tried to dispel notions that the real-estate mogul is a bigot.
“I see nothing to show he is a racist,” Evers said. “I don’t want any party to assume they’ve got all the black vote.”
Evers added, “All of us got a little racism — including me.’’ The former mayor claimed Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton has done little for the black community and her marriage to Bill Clinton would derail her campaign.
“She got another problem trying keep him straight — how’s she gonna try to keep the country straight?” Evers said.
Mississippi will hold its GOP primary Tuesday and the latest poll shows Trump leading there by a wide margin.
Medgar Evers had worked tirelessly in the South against segregation and for voting rights. He was assassinated by a white supremacist in 1963.

Levin and Beck have been two of Cruz’s biggest liabilities ...
This is going to drive the MOONBATS out of their minds as the year drags.
2016 is going to be a dreary, depressing and confusing year for liberals.*
*LOL!
Heck .... I can take Levin ..... but Beck has gone full psycho .... He’s toast no matter which way you look at it.
I can’t take Levin anymore ... he dedicates his show to lying about Trump on a daily basis and then proceeds to claim that Cruz is the Second Coming of Reagan ... Levin is off the rails with his buddy Beck ...they are the Thelma and Louise of talk radio ..
BTTT!
The media will do it’s best to ignore this stray black sheep.
Trump has already brought more of our country together than Obama did in nearly 8 stinking years.
You want a war GOP-e? Go ahead and bring it.
