I think it's fair to say that most urban elections have more to do with politics/mentalities than skin color. Charlotte 2013 (like most American cities) is a very blue city. Had the democrat been white and the republican black, I think the white democrat still would've won. Peacock seemed like he would've been a good mayor, but this city simply doesn't trust the republican party for the most part. Pat McCrory got away with so many wins due to his support of urban smart growth, urban renewal, taxes for pro-teams, and taxes for mass transit (all things that republicans typically oppose).
Do you follow the voter breakdown by that statistic?
