> [@Larry\_Borgia](#): > > Mississipi has the highest percentage of African Americans of any American state: 37.30. No state will have a majority AA population, since they make up a little less than 13 percent of the country. If you want to score pedant points over\*\* Idle Thoughts\*\* for his inapt phrasing, I guess no one can stop you. Nitpicking mod decisions isn’t my favorite sport, and I am unfamiliar with **Little\_PIg** ’s posting history, but I still don’t understand how his posts had anything to do with the black population of Mississippi. The [thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=17491981) in question is about a run-off election in the republican primary, pitting the establishment incumbent (Cochran) against the tea-party insurgent (McDaniel). These are the posts cited by **Marley23** when he issued the warning: > [@Mississippi election for U.S. Senator](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mississippi-election-for-u-s-senator/690122/33): > > Mississippi is the shit house of the United States regardless of who wins. People must be fuck’in ignorant as all hell. > [@Mississippi election for U.S. Senator](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mississippi-election-for-u-s-senator/690122/35): > > [Backed by business groups such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Cochran argued that McDaniel would not be able to secure as many resources for a state that relies on federal dollars for nearly half of its state budget.](http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/chi-cochran-mcdaniel-mississippi-primary-20140624,0,784030.story) > > And McDaniel wanted to cut federal funding to his state? What a Dick. And he got 49.3 percent of the vote! Ignorance reigns in this Shit Hole of a state. **Marley23** told **Little\_Pig** that he was being a jerk, a warning I find a bit mystifying, but whatever. What I don’t get is any racial angle. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/hate-speech-in-ali-rip-thread/756654)._
