Chowke tries to find racism at..... baseball fields (Video)

I kid you not. The Jackson City Council had a work session today. While reviewing various parts of the agenda, Mr. Chokwe Lamumba questioned a lease agreement between the City of Jackson and an LLC owned by Con Maloney and Cal Wells for Smith-Will Stadium. The company will pay Jackson $50,000 per year. Needless to say, Mr. Lamumba used that as an excuse to launch into a diatribe about racism at the baseball fields in Jackson. I kid you not. Mr. Bluntson finally had enough and set him straight, upon which Mr. Lamumba finally shut up. Here is the video. Enjoy.

Heard Chokwe pulled one over on Jeff Weill last week though and got a not guilty verdict.

Smith-Wills ... what memories.

Like when Chief Jackson RINO and then City Councilperson Ben Allen -- while shaking down taxpayers for $800,000+ to put artificial turf into Smith-Wills -- *guaranteed* that Pearl would never build a ballpark.

Give ole Chokwe "Jed Clampett" Lamumba a break.
He's just upset that Mrs Stokes has been stealing the spotlight.

This is just for ratings on this season's top rated comedy show in the area.

It is perfectly ok to be a racist in Jackson, as long as you are black....proven time and time again.

6:07, I don't care about Ben Allen, but that is a silly thing to quote against him - such a "guarantee" would be so obviously bogus that the only person who could be ashamed about it would be anyone who took it seriously.

It's like me guaranteeing that the price of gas won't go over $5/gal. this year. How would I know?

Tip of the hat to Bluntson for stepping in and quashing Chokwe's idiocy.

Chokwe's argument was that Jackson is 85% black, but he was concerned that in an 85% black city with a 72% black city council, a black mayor, and majority black members of probably every department of city government, that blacks were being discriminated against in a city park.

All incredulity aside, Mr. Lumumba, who is the authority who is keeping these minorities out of the park? A secret white society within the JohnsonJunior administration?

Anderson posits that nobody should believe a damn thing Ben Allen says. Well, duh!

Did I actually watch this happen on film?

Lulz big time. Anderson, I'm kinda wondering where you are coming from recently.

Edwin aka Chowke, "The People's Lawyer", was an active revolutionary as co-founder of Malcolm X Grassroots Movement, the black separatist group, who, in the last decade, the MS Bar formally charged with being unfit to practice law in MS. More recently Ward 2's councilman took up the cause of seeking a full pardon for the Scott sisters and watched them be released from prison last year.

Ward 2's councilman's term expires in 07/2013; however, less than a thousand of his 25,000 constituients are white. His seat is secure because his voters know that he advocates black power in every manner he deems necessary.

My child played little league baseball in the surrounding area some thirty years ago, so I well remember the strength of the all-powerful Grove Park baseball community. They were deservedly respected. Therefore, I take offense that Lumumba referenced a racial slur he recalls being hurled at a talented GP black pitcher from those many days gone by.

So, I took a brief walk through Grove Park's current status. As one of Jackson's 55 city parks, GP boasts more ammenities than any other city park. Baseball registration fees range from $30 for 3-5yo, $55 for 6-8yo, $60 for 9-12yo, $65 for 13-14yo, and $70 for 15-19yo players. GP League's insurance will cover full payment of any uninsured injured player. Interestingly, GP lists 26 sponsors including Trustmark Bank who also sponsors North Jackson Baseball. Contrastly, NJBB lists only 5 sponsors including Trustmark Bank. Mr. Lumumba wishes for equal representation for his ward's GP ball team. I, too, would be interested in learning a financial accounting of the city's expenses for those two parks. It appears that GP is constantly in need of servicing due to vandalism even though the Dept of Parks and Recreation has a Parks Rangers Division specifically established to maintain safety and ensure peaceful use of our parks.

Factually, the installation of synthetic turf in 2004 at Smith Wills Stadium was not so much a guarantee against competition as it was to develop it as a multi-function facility for events such as outdoor concerts, sporting events, etc.

Anderson; does your theory imply that we needn't believe any of Ben Allen's other bullshit guarantees?

my gawd ya'll! Chewbakka is at it again! He and mrs. kenny 'tokes make such a fine pair! stay tuned!!

turf @ smith-wills was last ditch gasp to fetch another baseball team by city "leaders", allen included, who totally f'd up getting the ballpark built downtown.

allen's oft-heard radio boast was that pearl ballpark would never get built as long as tim bennett was involved. boo hoo.

multi-function bullshit was the coverup after they failed to get a team and to misdirect away from the screwed downtown ballpark pooch.

was typical harvey johnson project, original estimate $768,000.

contractor came back two times for mo' money to address "unforeseen" cost overruns.

biggest being that city staff did not disclose that part of smith-wills was built over an old garbage dump. ouch.

when all was said and done the f'k up cost $855,000.

WoW! Mr. Whitwell might as well get on his knees and apologize to Chockwooo.

North Jackson Youth baseball is a nonprofit corp. that runs the baseball for its area at little cost to the city other than the use of fields. Grove park and its baseball is fully managed with Jackson tax dollars.If cost accounting was used I bet there is 10 times the funding to Grove park baseball than North Jackson.

Didn't one of the dear leaders call baseball a white man's game and push for the new team to be located somewhere else than Jackson?

Ok Jackson is 85% black... SO correct me if I'm wrong, would the 15% whites be the minority?? Why are we still referring to blacks as the minority when they are NOT

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.
