When this messy election is over and Brother Obama prepares to exit the White House, Black Southerners should ponder what is in our best interest moving forward. To me, both major parties have been hijacked by their far extremes. Reasonable moderates and centrists are being ignored.
Someone emailed me a deep article from the Atlantic about Black Trump supporters. It’s a must read. Mr. Trump seems to think all Black folks live in an intercity ghetto while Democratic liberals ignore rural Blacks. The DNC wants to win elections in cities and seem surprised to learn that rural Blacks are rather conservative.
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack recently said that the percentage of the U.S. population living in rural areas is roughly equal to the percentage of African Americans. While I am part of both demographics, America can never disrespect the heartland because farming feeds the world and everyone wants to eat.

I am concern how close Trump came to being president. Black America needs representation at every policy table. I appreciate my Black conservative friends’ efforts to make the GOP less hostile and I think they appreciate our struggle in the Dem Party to focus more on personal achievement and less on what the government can give you.
The sewer nature of this election season has me weary; let’s get this over quickly.
