This Tuesday, one of the more important US House races is our district.  The District runs from South Park Mall, most of South Charlotte and Matthews, then all of the lightly populated counties that border with South Carolina, over to Fayetteville (Home of Fort Bragg).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the primary, our district ousted the Republican incumbent in favor of the candidate backed by the rural counties – Charlotte minister Mark Harris.\u00a0 Those voters are Republicans who used to be Democrats before the Democrat party was taken over by George McGovern, Bernie Sanders and Jesse Jackson – and may well return if Democrats allow Conservatives back into the party.<\/div><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mecklenburg County is dominated by the City of Charlotte, increasingly controlled by Democrats, which translates into race.   The mayor, city manager, police chief, fire chief and soon to be county sheriff are black.  The fear is palpable and didn’t start yesterday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may have heard about a school shooting near Matthews NC in the past few days.   Why the story is dying quickly nationally is there is no white villain.  One black student shot and killed another black student.  The school has consciously been made “diverse” by the county, combining poor black and Hispanic children living in apartment complexes with predominantly white upper middle class areas.    This has resulted in two things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those who can afford it, send their children to private Christian schools that have the power to expel students who are disruptive.\u00a0 Matthews is trying to set up a publicly funded charter school separate from the county School system, but getting legal pushback from the county School system (CMS)<\/div><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The alternative is you flee Mecklenburg County – either to South Carolina or to Union County.\u00a0 \u00a0The map shows just how strong this force is.<\/div><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The yellow area is Mecklenburg County – almost completely undeveloped.  The moment you cross the county line, it becomes wall to wall high density subdivisions who attend Union County schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The people in Southern Mecklenburg county are not voting for a Republican preacher, even many moderate Republicans.   Mr. Harris won the primary with a huge majority of pro-trump voters in Union County, where Monroe is the biggest city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wild card is the Eastern counties of the district.\u00a0 \u00a0The further East you go, the larger the proportion of poor, rural blacks surviving on subsistence farming.\u00a0 \u00a0The dirty little secret is they are socially Conservative and quietly oppose the gay rights agenda due to strong religious beliefs and a peceived shortage of heterosexual black men not in prison or headed there.\u00a0 \u00a0In 2016, they stayed home and would not vote for Hillary.\u00a0 They will decide this election, and Republicans are ignoring them.\u00a0 \u00a0President Trump should have gone to Fayetteville, not Charlotte.<\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
