'Charlotte' is not having second thoughts about the RNC convention.
There are several council members that are self serving and no one is surprised they are complaining again. The city council voted 6-5 to have the RNC here and the Democratic mayor (who advocated having the RNC in Charlotte) is still in favor of it.
Also - Charlotte is not predominately black or hispanic:
According to the most recent ACS (2019), the racial composition of Charlotte was:
White: 50.02%
Black or African American: 35.03%
Asian: 6.23%
Other race: 5.48%
Two or more races: 2.87%
Native American: 0.31%
Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander: 0.06%
That's #FakeNews (No Hispanics in Charlotte?)
Quote:
Ajmera and others on the board did successfully push a resolution last week that “strongly condemns all of President Donald Trump’s racist and xenophobic social media tweets and comments.”
It was drafted in the days after Trump attacked four Democratic congresswomen – one Latina, one African American and two Muslim ― telling them they should “go home” to the countries they came from if they were unhappy in the United States. All four women — colloquially known as “the Squad” — are U.S. citizens, and three were born in the United States. The resolution passed on a 9-2 vote – with only the council’s two Republican members in opposition.
So it would be accurate to state that a minority of the City is white....and, yes, lots of Hispanics are under the white category but they tend not to vote KKK........
Stupid remarks like this is how you got Trump in the first place. Keep up the good work!
