Cleveland NAACP President Michael Nelson Sr, a local criminal defense attorney who ran unopposed last month for a second two-year term, told Cleveland Urban News.Com in an interview that many Blacks that he has spoken with since the election are devastated behind the stunning upset Donald Trump pulled off earlier this month to win the U.S presidency over Hillary Clinton. (Editor note: Though Clinton won the popular vote Trump won the Electoral College, and thus the presidency).

The NAACP is the oldest and most renowned Civil Rights organization for Black people in the United States.

Nelson said that Trump's defeat of Clinton, the Democratic nominee  and a former secretary of state who enjoyed widespread support from Blacks, represents "the worst despair for Blacks since the assassination of slain Civil Rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr."

"The nation is in a state of despair," said Nelson , a Cleveland Democrat who ran unsuccessfully for mayor in 2005, the powerful non-partisan seat that went that year to now three-term Black mayor Frank Jackson, a Democrat up for re-election next year. "No urban agenda was part of the Trump rhetoric other than him saying he has an urban agenda."

Also at risk, said Nelson, are "all of the Civil Rights gains that Blacks have fought for."

Trump, he said, is out of touch with the Black community.

During the campaign Clinton and Trump's policies were nearly opposite on every issue, including heightened policy brutality nationwide, education, taxes, immigration, climate change, women's rights, foreign policy, healthcare, and the next U.S. Supreme Court justice.

Democratic President Barack Obama, the country's first Black president, had branded Trump, a Republican and billionaire real estate mogul,  unfit to be president and said during a post-election press conference that he has reservations about a Trump presidency.

Protests have been ongoing since Trump's election night Nov 8, including in Cleveland and other major American cities such as Los Angeles, Atlanta and New York City.



Protesters are angry over the campaign rhetoric of the now president-elect, and his transition team and cabinet choices to date, calling some of them, including Stephen K. Bannon, his choice for chief strategist and senior counsel, and U.S. Sen Jeff Sessions, his attorney general nominee,  racist at best, and a step backwards for Democracy and equal opportunity.

Chief and unfair Cuyahoga County Judge John Russo loses authority-Part 2 of a multi-part series on Cuyahoga County public corruption: New Ohio law on seeking possible removal of a municipal court judge in a case for bias or conflict via the filing of an affidavit of prejudice takes authority to decide from chief Cuyahoga County Presiding Judge John Russo, other chief common pleas judges in Ohio, and hands it to the chief justice of the Ohio Supreme Court, who also determines affidavits of prejudice filed against common pleas, probate, juvenile, domestic relations, and state appellate court judges....Most affidavits of prejudice are denied regardless of the merits and some judges complained of will retaliate, data show... Community activists, led by Cleveland activist Kathy Wray Coleman of the Imperial Women Coalition, lobbied the Cleveland NAACP for support and asked state legislators via state Rep Bill Patmon (D-10) of Cleveland to change the law but wanted a panel of judges and others to decide when a judge in Ohio is disqualified from hearing a case for bias or conflict....Coleman says she has since been further harassed by Chief Cuyahoga County Judge John Russo, who is White and leads a racist and sexist common pleas court fueled with corruption, malicious prosecutions, excessive criminal bonds, ineffective assistance of counsel to poor and Black defendants, and the mass incarceration of the Black community....By www.clevelandurbannews.com and www.kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.com, Ohio's most read digital Black newspapers....This is part 2 of a multi-part series on Cuyahoga County public corruption
