Jackson Jambalaya

You can be Black and say whatever you want Kingfish you know that....Nothing racist said at all. Balcks are more racist than whites anyday!!!!

Yes. That comment was racist and uncalled for, period.

Awww, poor white people. Always being discriminated against. Those mean ole blacks have all the money and power, they dominate business and have a HUGE majority in the Legislature, and they never let Whitey have anything. I think I'm going to cry. Waaaaaaaaaah.

3:02 It is your attitude that keeps your race down and suppressed. You will continue to be last in all that you do. Don't envy someone because they have money....the might have just worked for it?

I wouldn't know. Like the new clarion ledger site I can't see it from my phone.

3:02 The JFP and the Jackson Advocate await you.

To the earlier poster at 3:02 --

Need I remind you about the Voting Rights Act case in Macon (federal lawsuit that blacks were suppressing the rights of white voters)? For reference: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/11/us/politics/11voting.html

Anyone can be racist - doesn't matter the color of his/her skin.

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 can be used to protect the white vote as well. This has already been used in Mississippi.

I listened twice and missed the " racist" comment. Those commenting seemed to be factually describing the plan as increasing white districts and decreasing black districts. The reporter says they don't like that plan. No reasons are given by anyone for why they don't like the plan. They may think it doesn't accurately reflect census data . The assumption they don't want white people to have a political voice in the county MIGHT be true, but they didn't say that.

Over-reacting and assuming unstated motivations is not attractive , no matter who does it.

Didn't one of Eric Holder's stooges at DOJ send out a memo forbidding their lawyers to sue anyone non-white for violations of the Voting Rights Act? You don't have to go to Macon to see convictions of blacks for violating the voting rights of whites - see Brown, Ike (Noxubee County maybe?). And of course New Black Panthers are allowed to stand outside polling places in Philly, holding bats or clubs, and intimidating whites who approach the polling place. AG Holder feels that's A-OK, it seems.

9:01AM Are you brain dead? The comment clearly brings up race as an motivation and rationalization for the board's gerrymandering.

When and where has the voters right act been used to help voters in Miss???

See the above posts!! Macon, Miss. case - http://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/11/us/politics/11voting.html

I could not find anything racial with the news video at first, but then I thought, "What if a white person were to complain that the lines were moved to make the Districts more black?" That would definitely be considered racist.

Look at the video again. There was no complaint. There was a statement of fact as to the description of the plan and the reporter said those interviewed didn't like that plan. No reasons were given.

There was no hostility in the comments. No one had a bat. No one called the DOJ to complain.

The point was that IF a white had said the same thing about one of the other plans, it shouldn't automatically be considered racist.

The plans should be discussed in terms of fair and honest representation ( the plan either is or isn't the best and should be argued on that basis).

Whites or Blacks making everything about race is what is dysfunctional and continues to hold us back.

Some of us did it to them. Now some of them are doing it to us . In the future, Hispanics will do it to blacks and whites if current trends continue and we ALL don't start to behave better and seek out the good and decent and rational rather than the angry and emotional.

Blah, blah, blah, blah. Thanks for the sermon. What do you think this is ... the JFP website?

Racism is racism no matter what color of person practices it.

First of all, he was complaining about getting white voters. No one sees a problem with that? Now lets look at how legit is gripe is.

Proposals 2,3,4 DO NOT, repeat DO NOT change the BVAP for District 2. They all stay at 73%.

HOWEVER, the FIRST proposal dropped it down to 67%.

Just one damn problem. When this interview was taken, they didn't have a first proposal, remember? They didn't know what it would be? remember? So at 10:00 AM that morning, which is when WJTV was there because I saw them leaving, Mr. Anderson knew what it was going to be.

The invisibility of the first proposal was part of the ruse from the outset.

But you know what? The black community doesn't give damn about this sort of subterfuge. Unless, of course, if the players were white then they'd be screaming bloody murder.

Meanwhile Mr. Direct Line and his fellow dopes scratch their heads trying to figure out why the middle class is jamming the exits to all points on the compass out of Jackson and Hinds. THEN they rapidly conclude the solution is all about fresh marketing and new tall tales.

Note to Kaze: If this shit doesn't get your big talking attention then you are fraudulent as Donna Ladd.

You poor, poor, put-upon crackers crack me the fuck up. It must be horrible to be Whitey these days.

The thing is, we all need to completely shun the fear of being called "racist." So what, you called me a word. Big deal! I'm so "over" the whole notion of political correctness! The only reason it was dreamed up (coined by Josef Stalin, by the way) is to squelch debate. Period. PC is a mindset that was adopted up by the "party of tolerance" (i.e. Democrats) to deny anyone with whom they disagree the right to speak. Pure and simple, it's just a method to vilify those with whom they disagree. Now, on one hand, you really have to give props to the left for being so successful at what they've done with this whole concept. It has allowed them to define what, in their twisted minds, is right and what is wrong, and then to impose that definition on those in opposition to them. Then, those in opposition are forced to argue to the LEFTS definition. Think about it: take the issue of religion and its place in the PUBLIC sector. The left has railed against religion for so long, that even average citizens have become confused about what the left originally set out to accomplish. The left wanted any mention of religion in PUBLIC places to be removed. However, once that was accomplished, they continued to rail against religion for so long, average citizens now believe religious overtures in even PRIVATE settings are "wrong.".....that's but one of hundreds of issues subverted by the left..............Come back around full circle. Although you may make comments, based on your own observations of FACTS, you will still be referred to as a "hater" or as a "racist," because you will have deviated from what has been defined by the left as "wrong". It's "unpopular" to think any other way these days........yep, to HELL with being worried about being called racist.......I consider myself to be an "observationist!"I no longer draw conclusions on what I'm told I'm supposed to believe. I draw my conclusions on what I see and hear! To do otherwise is complete and total BS! I encourage everyone to start doing the same!
