Jackson Jambalaya

As I watch this fine example of the Jackson, MS African-American youths, who have been afforded the benefits of the Civil Rights movement, I can't help but wonder if this activity is what Martin Luther King had in mind for the generations who preceded the struggle.

Society's finest right there! And aren't they so very proud of themselves! Dr. Martin Luther King is probably turning over right now so he doesn't have to watch.

Disgusting.

As a parent of a daughter, I am appalled. Then again, I am sure all of their parents are VERY proud of them, specifically the ones of the half-naked girl on the floor.

The lead rapper AKA Loud Pack just how old is that kid?

Which corner of Concorde and Plantation? Are you saying that one of the homeowners on one of those corners is involved with the Lynch Street Profit Gang?
I hope it is not so since I live a few blocks from that location and we tend to enjoy a quiet and peaceful life in this area. We never hear any disturbances like those depicted on that video.
God forbid someone would bring that trash here.

I want a shirt.

Well said 7:58

Can we PLEASE have a Save Jackson from Crime ACTION LIST open thread!?!

Pretty please?

Where in the video does it imply this is at Plantation/Concord? I live close to that area and travel Plantation to get to my street and never see anything like this.

WOW! It is nice to see that the Jackson black youth or so gifted in the art of sign language. I am waiting for Madison's Hoy Road Posse or Rankin's Flo Wood Profit Robbers to come out with their raunchy response. Yea, let's get CRUNK!

Jackson you asked for it, now sit back and enjoy! Your city is burning!!!

Will everyone just leave these fine young citizens alone? I mean, come on! Their ancestors were slaves. They have struggled their entire lives to survive under the power of the WHITE MAN. What do you expect them to do? Get a job? Um, NO! With raw talent like this you MUST represent!
It's hard bein a thug...

They better be more subtle otherwise the occupy movement will target their enterprise as being too productive.

This sure makes me glad that you, Curt and DowntownBen are worried about the clubs on Capitol Street. Now I can rest assured that once they are gone, Jackson will be just fine.

Sure! This is evidence that those Capitol Street clubs are tame when put beside what exists elsewhere in jackson. But we can be happy - once Farrish Street opens with all its bars and clubs, we will have plenty of places for these hoods to hang out all close together.

No difference between this and the crap on MTV, BET and all the rest. Absolutely unfortunately no difference.

I feel cheated living in plain old vanilla Madison where the most compelling issue facing city government is whether the couple in Trace Village will be able to keep their blue Christmas peacocks on the roof. You all in Jackson are lucky to have such culture and rich diversity in your city. Where is this neighborhood pub? My wife and I might want to head uptown one of these nights for a drink and some local music...

Can Cricket shake her booty like that? My guess is that they'd get alot more sympathetic press coverage in Smith Park if she could.

I just rode by the Plantation/Concord area. Only structures there are houses. If this was a party inside a garage, someone needs to report it to JPD, because there were underage youth drinking and who knows what else. One of the young ladies looked so messed up they were taking her clothes off.

I guess this post, its predecessor and the accompanying comments are fulfilling the jackassery you promise. Sometimes you want to be taken seriously, sometimes you undermine yourself with dumb shit like this.

Yet you are still here reading.

7:45; don't Bogart that joint!

Shadow, apparently you are not deep enough in the bottle, that actually was on target.

Awesome! Just reinforced every stereotype I have ever had, even some I had forgotten about. Really impressed with the high quality bitches/ho's. I miss Jackson!

A triple elimination steel cage match between the Lynch Street Profit Gang, The Hoy Road Posse,
and the previously unknown Howard Avenue Biloxi VietCong, would be entertaining

Some observations about this video:

Those big ole buds/blunts were left over "props" from last month's Canton apartment gang video.

I thought wearing caps sideways was no longer a fad in the East & West Coast thug "kul'cha".-Forgive me,
we are dealing w/country thugs from Mississippi.

The skank wallowing around in the unknown floor liquid is an aromatic health hazard, (Stainky Skank)

In an earlier video someone was making circles with tire rubber all up and down the street.
The car can be easily identified as can some of the players in the video.
This should be brought to the attention of JPD or someone who can arrest these thugs and make them clean up the asphalt on hands and knees, if necessary.
They are intentionally defacing public (tax payers) property.
CLEAN up the mess you've made!

defacing public property is no doubt the least of their transgressions.

8:36, that is quite true, but at least it is a start. It would probably be the only work they've ever done.
There is no way to prove that stuff they were smoking and handling was pot.

Disturbing the peace, using the nig word and other vulgar acts were all caught on tape and could be used against them if it took place in public.

They are a disgrace to the Black race. I have no doubt that many in the black community wish they didn't exist.

I wish the diseases these punks probably have would soon help them make a FINAL EXIT.
They are making and squirting out babies constantly.
Circular insanity...

If we could pass out weapons, they'd probably eliminate themselves in short order...surely this isn't typical of youth.

The rear end on that girl made me want to throw up.they all act like animals.I say build a fence around Jackson an contain them.I'm ashamed to even say I live around Jackson.what a joke.

Well, there is one less. Terry Road Tank was one of the three that were shot last weekend and he died.

Ah...the convenient memory loss that comes with age...

Depending on one's decade, there were hoodlums, bikers,beatniks, hippies...rock n roll was the devil's music...panty raids...drunk girls jumped up on tables and stripped at more than one frat party...I know some now upstanding successful people in this State who were vandals and thieves and did drugs who have apparently forgotten their wild days.The rocker wannabee's of times past are mostly staid professionals in the real life and the former hoods may still have Harleys but aren't in Hell's Angels.

Some of these kids will straighten up and some won't. That's human history. And, the poorer they are to start and the worse their parenting, the less chance they will have to find the life skills they need.

Snoop Dog went from thug to CEO and philanthropist.

Unless you want to always be judged by the mistakes of YOUR youth, loosen up people. FEW of us have good sense until our late 20s and some not until later than that and some NEVER.

9:57--
Well said. I remember my mother being horrified by my Alice Cooper albums, and hanging around Riverside Park.
You don't want to party in their hood? Then DON'T.

9:57, you suggested that folks need to lighten up on this creeps.
I suggest you tighten up your loose wires.

These thugs and their activities in no way compare to the "mistakes" of the youth back then.
Sure, gangs occasionally had rumbles where rival gangs exchanged blows in fistfights, but we didn't see kids riding around shooting, stabbing and killing or wounding their foes on a daily basis.
These thugs just as soon kill you as look at you.

They think nothing of having sex and producing babies who will continue this cycle. It's a badge of honor to these baby daddies and their baby mamas.
They don't hesitate to explain how they view others in their rap songs. They rap from experience.

You said "Ah...the convenient memory loss that comes with age..."
Well, I say that your memory loss isn't so much a convenience as it is a condition that comes with old age.
I'm willing to bet that you wouldn't dare approach these thugs when they are having their festivities-- or even when they are not. They likely hate you for whatever reason. They are not afraid of you, but I'll bet you would be afraid of them face to face.

You've given your opinion and I've given mine. I feel most people of any race would agree with my POV and not yours.

FEW of us have good sense until our late 20s and some not until later than that and some NEVER.

Please let us know when you acquire yours.

ahhhhhhhhhhhh yes! How sweet it is...a jury of my peers! NOT!

Rapper David banner in his homecoming video to his childhood home on flag chapel, says that it used to be nice there when "Ole Whitey" flourished Jackson but after the Whiteflight, the city let the homes and surroundings go down because it was majority blacks. Ain't that's some crap? No it wasn't the city's fault, its the communities fault which happens to be democrat, so there you go. Btw, me and my family were the last whites to escape the ghetto over there in Georgetown, Huron street 1989. I will never look back. Roll on Rankin county!!
