Jackson Jambalaya

At least no one can blame the White man about this latest example of Hinds / Jackson tribal warfare.

But then again, who cares ?

Everything within Jackson & Hinds County rotted away like leprosy years ago.

559. At least try and hide your racism. "tribal warfare"??
If you dont want to live in Jackson....move and tend to your own affairs.

Why don't the churches chip in to help alleviate some of the stress caused by the budget cuts if they're that worried. Easy fix.

9:23. Some of us would rather not leave Hinds to let it rot. How about some of the rest of you realize that there is a problem and try to resolve the corruption and the decay that exists in our "governing" bodies. Do you want to stay here and watch it all fall apart?

I'm not talking about whether or not the HCBOS is correct in cutting the sheriff's budget or not. I don't care if the sheriff is black or white. I don't care who voted how on the BOS. But I do care about the waste, the corruption, and the crap that goes on with Hinds County "governance". Whether you agree with the terminology or not. If you want everybody that is paying for the waste and cronyism that is our city and our county government to leave - they you - or those that don't take your advice - will be left to give them their bag money. Is that what you want or would you rather see some changes made so that we might maintain Jackson and Hinds as a functioning,reasonable operation?

Did the same group of concerned and exhalted pastoral folk assemble on the steps any of the many times Mac's budget was jeopardized? Well, Mac didn't go whining to the clergy or the public at large and ask them to whine on his behalf, now did he?

Tyrone has gone begging and this group will whine on his behalf and Bill Minor will figure out a way to make it the fault of the deceased 'white establishment' and fist thing you know, Jesse and Al will show back up with a shiney brass collection plate. I think it's called 'community organizing'.

And now a minority (the minority that's the majority) or two will tell me to shut up and move.

Amen Shadow, you describe the biggest barrier to progress in this market now. If someone even sounds white as they type a comment, how dare they point out stupidity if its a black official. As the gene pool of black and white pols continues to drop (whitwell, stokes) we will continue to have these problems. Why did all the adults decide to leave the room???

It is what it is....tribal warfare...rolling in the mud trying to out "uh-ruh" each other in pursuit of the tax base...that's the prize..the tax base..the engine that drives the bold new city and all of it's dewellers...

11:08 The "tax base" has substantially fled to Madison and Rankin counties (which are doing very well, thanks).

On a related topic the Fondren Bugle had an article on redistricting in Jackson this week. They quoted the hat lady, whose explicitly stated goal was to remove a white city councilwoman and replace her with an African-American. The JFP interns completel ignored the well-established fact that, by using someone's skin color as the sole qualifying element for a job is, well, racist. I'm shocked - shocked!, I say - that the Bugle's interns don't seem to recognize racism when it's in their own scribbling.

Everyone in the know, well knows that the whole redistricting mess was a deal that Q Whitwell and and certain couple of black councilmen tried to pull off and were blocked by good folk on both sides. Poor Jackson.

801 "why did the adults leave the room?". They didn't. The real leaders got old and their children (and the unrelated current generation of white leadership) are selfish brats. We need the Hoods and Irbys of yesteryear. Thankfully we still have Leland...and that comment will bring out the hate from people who I wouldn't respect enough to carry Leland's briefcase. Thankfully we have Whitwell, Matt Allen and other young leaders.

No doubt 12:20 PM that those that actually pay taxes have fled to Rankin and Madison Counties...I was refering to the porch dewellers that are left. Their pay checks are derived from the tax base because they certainly don't work in the private sector.

Matt Allen? ROFLMAO He hasn't done squat to turn Jackson or Hinds around.

Note to 9:23 :

It IS tribal warfare .

Funny thing is that you and the other "White Guilt" liberals that choose to move into the crime ridden areas around Duling Street have no clue.

Sorry, but I doubt that Donna & Todd could ever coordinate a "Rorke's Drift defense" of Fondren.

The liberal elites and AA's will never understand not only the big, but the little picture. The current mindset of AA's is killing our potential as a country, as well as any hope of the American dream for them as a people.

Really sad to watch.

6:04, most AA's I come in contact with are clueless as to what the "American Dream" even is. They have been schooled to believe it is not theirs to grasp.

The "white man" will keep him/her down. They (WP) are "born" that way, in their minds.

Who is Matt Allen ??

6:04. Agree. Please call Sean or Rush. Better yet, Ricky Cole.

10:20. Call Tater or Phil too.

please, give me a break, no one gives a flying fuck what a bunch of half wit AA preachers think. Most of them know almost no scripture and were "called to minister" and spend most sermons in a frenzied state of yelling and blaming all the problems of the AA community (another joke) on white people. This is the same group of so called ministers who consider having sex with their female parishioners a job perk. Most of these goons are part time at best. I for one am so sick of listening to the musings of a bunch of no talent witch doctors.

wow 8:22 PM...how do you really feel?
