13. It's not majority African-American

But it has the highest percentage of African-Americans of any state. Actually I just looked it up on the Census Bureau's site. The estimate for 2018 was 37.8% black, 56.5% white, 5.7% for all others (Hispanic, Asian, American Indian, etc.) If there wasn't such a history of suppression and intimidation, Mississippi would probably be a blue state. The old boys in charge are probably terrified by that large minority population.
