First published in 1865, the Natchez Democrat is one of the oldest newspapers in the Magnolia State. Adams County residents say the political leanings of the newspaper’s staff have been revealed through it’s reporting over the years.

But they say what happened this past week went way too far and threatens to be a cause of disharmony at a time when county and city leaders and community volunteers are becoming more open and trusting of one another.

The Monday, November 21 Edition of the Natchez Democrat contained a political cartoon by syndicated cartoonist Monte Wolverton. The cartoon depicts a group of white Trump supporters through a variety of representative racist stereotypes all singing together, “All We Are Saying Is Give Trump A Chance.”

Some of the characters depicted are in full KKK regalia, others are wearing Nazi uniforms, a few carry military style firearms, while others are wearing or displaying the Confederate Battle Flag.

Adams County resident Paul Brown tells Misissippi PEP that the newspaper’s actions are a slap in the face to all residents of Natchez and Adams County who have worked together to displace perceptions of racism and to meet challenges.
