The Ali Shamsid-Deen Chronicles: Gangs stay on the side of the police by "victimizing the African American community"

Hinds County Circuit Judge candidate Ali Shamsid-Deen waxed philosophical on many subjects in his Jackson Advocate columns back in the 1990's. Some of them have been posted here on JJ. Back in 1992, many blacks became upset when rapper Sister Souljah said "Gang members in Los Angeles should take a week and kill white people instead of killing each other." Upset because then-presidential candidate Bill Clinton sharply criticized her for making those statements in a speech that received much coverage from the media. Mr. Shamsid-Deen made a few statements of his own in a July 2, 1992 column:

"Sister Souljah is very articulate and spoke with intelligence (referring to an interview he watched on tv.). "

"Given the frustrations that we as African Americans have to deal with as we try to live the American dream in this society that is dominated by white people who at times show a supreme disregard for the well being of us as a people, it is not too hard to understand how an African American could make a statement that could be seen as wanting to take violent action to confront the problems that we face. I think that because white American makes it so easy for anyone to at times believe that violence is all they really understand, white folks hear the call for violence in every statement that is made by anyone that has not been cleared by them as the spokesperson for African Americans."

"The guilty know what justice that they deserve. We as African Americans want peace in our lives and our neighborhoods. But as long as the violence effects only us then as Sister Souljah said in that same interview, the white power structure is not concerned about us."

"I don't see Sister Souljah saying that African Americans should take to killing anyone as a solution to our problems, but she is saying, what we as African Americans know and that is that as long as we kill each other the chances of getting punished by the system is alot more remote. So if gang members are so tough, then take on the real tough guys. Take on the ones who have the best reputation for killing. Sister Souljah knows just like the rest of us know that African American gang members know how to stay on the side of the law enforcement and that is by victimizing the African American community. "

"If anyone is going to hold themselves out as a leader in our community, then they should at least understand the language of our community and not see our problems through the eyes of those who are oppressing us."

If the white power structure was really oppressing him and other blacks then he would not have been ignored for 20 years while he says this crap. He could not run for judge either.

The fact is until he ran and KF found all these articles. No one including the white power structure ever hear are cared about him.

To quote an old news item from George Carlin - A man today has barricaded himself in a house, however, he is unarmed and no one is paying him the slightest bit of attention.

How on EARTH can such a person run for JUDGE? God help a white person that comes before him, and is he going to let all the black criminals just go, because they were "oppressed"?

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
