Jackson Jambalaya

David Jordan has been trying to intimidate blacks and whites in Greenwood for so long. He found his match with that guy in the red shirt.

Good for him to stand up to those tactics.

Bobby Moak (D-Annandale) gets that upset when his Double Whopper order gets screwed up.

We're talkin' class here. Similar situations with the Jackson, city council and Hinds County Board of Supervisors. Don't forget about Congress either. Where do they/we find these people?

I think the board handled the situation pretty well under the circumstances.

Who is/was who no joke I don't know.

Greenwood finally has an excellent school board with committed members who are giving freely of their time and expertise. David Jordan is having a meltdown because they did not choose his handpicked candidate for Superintendent, whose primary qualification seems to be that she came up through the Greenwood school system. That hasn't been anything to be proud of since Mr. Jordan swept in with desegregation in 1970 and immediately began dragging the entire system down. It should be noted that his candidate, currently serving as interim superintendent, turned in her resignation as soon as she found out she had not been hired permanently, several weeks before the school year ends. She had been offered her old assistant superintendent job back but turned that down. Give it a week until Mr. Jordan has wrangled her a big job with a payraise in the State Education realm, as happened with her predecessor (who also quit as superintendent with no notice).
Question: Why do the parents of Greenwood public school students (almost 100% black) continue to vote for narcissistic fools like David Jordan?

Howls of laughter 1:24 PM!!!!!

Thought the board handled it fine. Calling that old black man "boy". Too bad he didn't whip Jordan's ass for saying it but then that would have been sinking to Jordan's level.

"Calling that old black man "boy"."

Remind - which party does he belong to again?

Jordan was trying hard to get arrested, so he could beat the drums about "fighting for justice, etc." He has become increasingly irrelevant in Greenwood (and has always been irrelevant in the Senate except for his talent for getting his name in the paper). He is desperate for a cause and know he is losing control of an increasingly middle-class, educated black electorate. The sooner he retires from public life, the better. He has caused untold harm to Greenwood's economic development and racial harmony for way too long.

Lets see... democrats owned slaves.....democrats started the KKK.... Democrats fought the civil rights acts..... How dumb can a black American be to join the Democrat party? Must be the lowest IQ demographic group in the country.

I like the "WHITE FOLK" reference. Stay classy San Diego

Pardon me ... Senator Jordan ... we found the wild hogs.

"I ain't gon fall for no damn banana in my tailpipe!!!"

Could you imagine wht he would do if one of the people from Greenwood came to the senate floor and acted that way.

I axed three times (and 4:15 axed wunst) for the players to be identified. I suppose Kingfish thinks their identities are irrelevant.

For 4:15 and 7:14....The tall man in the red shirt is Bill Clay, who has developed an after-school mentoring center for kids, in the worst possible part of town. Gives freely of his time for numerous causes. The gray-haired man is George Ellis, School Board president, who also devotes time and a kind personality to many good causes in Greenwood. Kathy Whicker, a retired teacher who was beloved in the all-black county school system, is to George's left, and then there is Connie Johnson, yet another community volunteer, very bright and devoted to education. You don't see the last school board member, Lora Evans, on the far left. She is a hospital employee. All of these are appointees of Mayor Carolyn McAdams and they have devoted countless hours to this superintendent search after the unexpected and vindictive resignation of Margie Pulley in August.
David Jordan, the one acting like such a horse's behind, is a long-time City Council member and masquerades also as our State Senator. He likes to promote himself as a civil rights crusader but he is primarily an obstacle to any sort of progress unless it gives him more clout. The woman with the "Greenwood Public Schools Successful" sign is Barbara Gray, one of David's former mouthpieces on the school board. Since she was not reappointed, she has spent most of her time protesting any and all school board actions. The voice you hear shouting out racial slurs is a black man who, along with his wife, comes to city council and school board to be disruptive and rude. An interesting cast.

Thanks, 5:36. It's helpful to know this while reviewing the clip. Makes a world of difference. Either Kingfish didn't know who they were, didn't care or didn't think it was relevant.
