Well, it doesn’t help if you publically spout what some consider racist remarks.
There actually was a lot of suppression of blacks in Mississippi (and my state of Alabama) but it was white people giving them their due in the end. The Voting Rights Act, Civil Rights Act, etc., were external pressures but in the end, it was Christian White People of those states that accepted God is father of us all and like the Samaritan and the Jew, we must always help each other despite or differences and become equals.
Now I actually think that blacks and whites in the South get along better than other parts of the country. Controversial but true.
Just like Todd Atkin on rape and abortion, why do we keep making these divisive statements? All Atkin should have said is he was against rape, rather than explain a woman rarely gets pregnant from it.
Now with Hyde-Smith, she makes statements about hangings in what we know was an area once infamous for its lynchings of blacks. Why talk about this!!!???
It just becomes a bloody flag for the democrats to wave around.
I think it would have been enough to say you stood by the death penalty when warranted and you are a strong opponent of criminality. Why get into the aspects of HOW to put murders to death, like being hanged? NOT a thing to discuss in a divisive election year.

Is that you, Dana PeRINO? You want candidates you say absolutely NOTHING if you’re more concerned with “what some consider” than you are with winning elections. The demonrats are going to say we’re racist no matter what we say. Ask Judge Kavanaugh how answering in a judicial tone for the entire legal and proper portion of his hearing worked for him. To them ALL OF US are racists, sexists, homophobes, you name it. It doesn’t matter what we say. Our defense is NOT to kowtow to them and their delicate sensibilities it’s to fight back and point out their pious BS at every opportunity.
Trump and Kavanaugh both proved it, it doesn’t matter what they say about you, what matters is what YOU do in response.

If you are a Republican, speaking ENGLISH is racist! It is hard to find an expression that cannot be twisted. In a country where having a stalk of cotton in a decoration means you want to return to slave days, ANYTHING a Republican says can and will be twisted to call it racist. Democrats, of course, have their ‘get out of jail race card’ ready to play...
