Jackson Jambalaya

Someone please send this to Tony Soprano.

Of course this all ties in to the kush plan. 'This was the black mans land before it was America. Since our ancestors were here first, this is rightfully the Republic of New Afrika.'

The problem with that logic is, that we slaughtered almost all of the people that were already here. His ancestors were sold by his own people for a nice set of beads.

uh... they were 'red'...
this is going to crazier than i thought.

And for the first order of business:
no, not our infrastructure,
no, not our crime problems
no, not our crazed city council
This is what is important: I need all to understand who found this land. CC is out.

Just when you thought it could not get any ......

The ONLY thing that matters in Jackson, from this point forward, is RACE. Period. Everything else is now secondary. Hide and watch.

What he's saying is historically accurate.

I think 9:17 makes a great point, though.

Elections have consequences.

Does he not realize all he will be doing is making JPS an even bigger laugh than it already is. The kids won't be able to pass the federally mandated test and unable to get in a college. JPS parents who care will lined up to enroll their kids in a private school.

Columbus is important because he opened the door to European colonization. The Moorish explorations (Islamic) of the Americas is a theory of Islamic scholars. How do those charter schools sound now?

JPS doesn't need federal funds. Replace the teachers with volunteers from the Malcolm X grass roots movement! Problem solved by the people!

This is the same history that teaches the Egyptians had airplanes and flew around the pyramids about 2 or 3000 BC. No joke. If it will reduce crime, teach away.

Perhaps we can get Tom Head to personally write all JPS history curriculum. This way we can completely eliminate white males and the patriarchy from the books. Oh, and cut off our oppressive "man organs" too.....so no one will get raped.

8:49 Do you rewrite your own history too??? The Indians were here FIRST - they were not BLACK!!!
Now, we know why Jackson is in such a mess - It's the mind-set of people like you!!!

My question is, "Does JPS actually teach that Columbus was the first to discover America?" Columbus is important because of the impact of his journey on world events like the inter caetera & Treaty of Tordesillas and European geopolitics/trade and further exploration/conquest. But to my knowledge it is widely accepted and taught that African, Viking and even Asian explorers reached the Americas before Columbus. Those facts and theories were taught at Northwest Rankin 20 years ago when I was in school there. (I would suspect as a graduate of NWR Jonathan Lee was also taught that). I doubt JPS is stuck in the 1960s like Chokwe appears to be.

If his beef is that the impact of Columbus is taught, then he is foolish to want to delete that important historic fact.

If his problem is that he wants it clear that Columbus was not the first non-American to find America, then if he would read standard school text books I bet Chokwe would be pleasantly surprised to discover that such facts are already taught.

Ok 1:03. Where did the Indians come from?

1:31- Mitt Romney (if he was being honest) would tell you that the native americans were a lost tribe of Israel.

Well....if people don't have a problem with the ideology driven pseudoscience of Special Creation why should we bar pseudohistory?

Idiocy-good for geese of every sex.

Where to start?

The Vikings discovered America before anyone....and I hope schools aren't still saying Columbus DISCOVERED America.

Columbus OPENED America up to Europeans, which was his great accomplishment.

The Moor theory is disputed--to say the least. If it did happen, it was after the Vikings.

Since he's a history expert, I'm sure Chokwe knows the Moors were not ethnically African and actually had a role in the Arab slave trade that no one talks about.

Abe Lincoln freed the slaves - Lie.

Chokwe freed the bottle tree spirits at Felder's compound - Troof.

Columbus discovered America - Lie.

Lumumbooloo is an Italian - Troof.

Ben Allen bought a bus ticket today - (being investigated)

Jeff Good is short four chromosomes - Troof.

Donna Ladd and Tom Head share a common hand tool ~ Troof.

Ok 1:31, I'll play. The native Americans came across the land bridge from Asia. The Asians migrated up from Africa where humans originally evolved (at least according to evolution theory). Therefore every continent was originally inhabited by descendants of Africans, and therefore current descendants of Africans have a preeminent claim to the entire world. Of course, I am a descendant of the original Africans, as is everyone else on the planet, so where does that leave us?

Acolapissa, Biloxi and Pascagoula tribes on the Gulf Coast; the Bayougoula, Houma, and Natchez tribes on the lower Mississippi; and the Chakchiuma, lbitoupa, Koroa, Ofogoula, Taposa, Tiou, Tunica and Yazoo tribes on the Yazoo River in the Mississippi Delta. The Choctaw inhabited the east central part of the state, while the Chickasaw dwelled in the north and northeast. The Choctaw were the most populous by far—and remain so to this day.

While these Indians (so named by Columbus, who thought he had arrived in India rather than a “New World”) depended upon agriculture for staple foods like corn, beans and squash, they also grew pumpkins, watermelons and tobacco for ceremonial purposes. Some of their food was still secured by hunting and fishing.

THE HISTORY CHANNEL _ definitive source

The Indians came from Cleveland and Washington, hence the Indians and Redskins.

Chokwe cannot disprove the discovery by Columbus because most of the federal employees would raise hell if they lost Columbus Day as a paid holiday.

I have native american roots tracing back to two different tribes who were no doubt mistreated by the white man. I was stupid enough to go to college and support my family while actually working a job without properly acknowledging the huge historical deficit from which I had to climb due to white oppression. All along I should have been living off the man and waiting on a savior like Edwin to get me some reparations! I would like a do over. What was I thinking?

Has anyone else considered giving Lumumba and his homies what they want? Give them Mississippi (or a chunk of it, or whatever) for his "Kush District" or "New Afrika" or whatever. The result? No more affirmative action, quotas, clamoring for reparations, etc. Just rip off the bandaid, feel the pain now, get it over with.

I was taught that Columbo discovered America. The Peter Falk detective. Though, I was sitting on the back row and there was a lot of noise...

I am with Kingfish. I have had more fun on this website in the last few days, than I have in a while. I can say the next four years are going to be FUN!!!

It was the Knights Templar that built the first castle in Greenwood. This was after Atlantis colonized Canton one thousand years before.

The first real Game of Thrones in the delta.

In view of this latest Chuckles initiative, there will be major Columbus Day celebrations in the City of Jackson this year. I'm getting out my industrial strength balloons.

Pedro Alonso Niño He piloted one of Columbus' ships in the expedition of 1492. Pedro was African Descent.

Mr. Lumumba this is your black history for today.

I have had more fun on this website in the last few days, than I have in a while.

You obviously weren't here back in the day when girlie pics were provided with regularity.

Mark my words:

Chokwe's next going after Confederate Memorial Day.

Jackson: the NEW Detroit.

7:49

I am absolutely not for Chokwe or anything he stands for, but it's past time to ditch Confederate Memorial Day. That makes us look like a bunch of backwards ass-clown racists. Celebrate all warriors this Monday on the normal Memorial Day.

Stupid IS ,stupid DOES! Obvious who dat is.

No shit 9:08. Good God. Get over it. We lost. Stupid ass shit holiday.

7:49, go put your lips on choke a chickens ass and move your butt back up north! We do celebrate all warriors and we still honor our Southern Warriors that fell during the war of Northern Aggression! So Fuck Off! I bet you take part in the make believe holiday of kwanza, total bull shit!

9:40, wow! They finally got Internet down in Florence, you white trash piece of crap. Uneducated idiots like you give us all a bad name.

It's begun already. Bigoted negroes (It's our turn By God), as witnessed above several times, already intent on removing any vestige of Confederate History. History has a definition, and it's not "That which to you seems most pleasant and reaffirming".

So, if we're going to have ONE MEMORIAL DAY, how about ONE Miss America, no black cauci, one mayor's association, one history month (stupid to begin with)...on and on. See how it works?

There is no question that Leif Erikson pre-dated Columbus and there is a map that indicates Portuguese explorer, Corteseo, also came before Columbus.
It is argued that others also visited America before 1492.
But, there is no doubt now that Columbus was not the first.

There are many things in our history books that historians now agree are incorrect as they now have discovered evidence to the contrary.

Paul Revere never had a midnight ride. That's from a poem. Revere was arrested by the British before he ever got out of Boston.

The first shots fired in rebellion against the British wasn't at Concord either. It was at the Battle of Alamance but we've called that " The War of the Regulators" to keep from having to re-write our Revolutionary history and you can take American history through undergraduate level and miss knowing about the battles that preceded Concord or acts of rebellion before the Boston Tea Party.

There's nothing wrong with teaching history accurately.

I'm opposed, however, to putting in other theories until they are confirmed. To do so, just creates new myths.

I'll bet there's not one single black state employee that refuses to take the day off for Confederate Memorial Day. One would think that, if it's that bad, they would stand up for something and refuse to take the time off.

Chokwe walks in the mayors office soon... just what powers does the mayor actually have ?

he really cant do much of anything,
Tan Man, itto, harv,mel and now chok

second verse , same as the first

Stigler, Oklahoma public schools, where I attended from 1962-1970, taught us about Leif Ericson and the Asians coming across the land bridge and the convergence of the Tigris and Euphrates as the birthplace of civilization and all that. They even taught us that Columbus didn't actually ever make it to the current United States. Has the curriculum changed since then? Are little black children being taught a different history than little white children? The key question, to paraphrase the great patriot Hillary Clinton: Who cares?

Chokwe talked with the school superintendent about "making changes which is going to have improvement."

How about the improvement of Chokwe to use subject-verb agreement?

Lets think this through: the new mayor may have read a history textbook from JPS that indeed stated that Columbus discovered America. Perhaps JPS still uses textbooks from the 1950's...but somehow I think he's so out of touch with the reality of 2013, and is just going to be a jokwe to watch.

You white trash racists love to live in the past. Chokwe hates white people because white people hate all people of color.

First you raped our women, polluted our gene pool and enslaved us with drugs.

You all scream about welfare but i bet most of you went to college on a student loan.

Suck it up! Welfare is nothing but reparations for the crimes whitey commited against us. We deserve these monies.

Chokwe got elected because we saw thru whiteys attempt to get there puppet elected.

Chokwe is the greatest mayor that Jackson will ever have. Chokwe knows that history was written by white people.

All you white boys that wont to leave Jackson, who you gonna sell your houses to? Please leave Jackson now, leave the state to.

How in the heck does Charlie Manson
continue to get internet access ?

Who knows the Independent candidates we can choose on June 4? I need a recommendation. I'll be voting but not for Chuckles.

12:22 is clearly a white bigot trying to stir shit up.

Hey 1:30. He/She is either that or Edwin himself...

10:43, so sorry I'm not from Mississippi. My family has served in just about every war since this country was founded. So go put your Bubba Gump lips on chokeachickens ass and inhale.

@ 1:18

How about a write-in campaign. Who could Jackson get behind that wouldn't even have to campaign? Just use social media and word of mouth and grass roots and have a write-in candidate defeat Chokwe

Regarding 12:22, my first response in the agree with 1:30 that 12:22 is white and trying to make blacks in Jackson look ignorant, if not stupid. Then again, Chokwe was elected so anyone who voted for the Jokewe could have written it.

I'm approving some comments so as to let some people show how they really think. I don't believe in sweeping things under the rug and if some people want to make fools or themselves or show their true leanings, I will at times allow them to do so.

My take on the Columbus story? I think everyone by now knows he did not "discover" America. The Vikings made it here first. Then there was Amerigo, and of course, the Indians. He was the first one from the "civilized world" to make landing in the Western hemisphere, along with Vespucci.

As for Mr. Lumumba, it appears WAPT dragged out his comments on this subject from the debate and rushed down to ask him about them again to stir up a news story. Katie bar the door, here we go, now we have a controversy. He has no control over the school board save appointing school board members and those still have to be approved by the city council. He wants to nominate radicals, he is free to do so. He still has to get them through Yarber, Whitwell (don't say it), Stamps, B-S, and Priester.

I suspect if he had his way, Mr. Lumumba would have talked about more serious issues than this one. However, the media chooses them for you all too often so sometimes you have to roll with it.

Just use social media and word of mouth and grass roots and have a write-in candidate defeat Chokwe

Did you graduate from 6th grade?

Black Mamba...
Wow...
You've become what you profess to hate and it's more disturbing that you say Lumumba shares your beliefs.
Hasn't it occurred to you that it's in judging people based on race instead of their individual deeds that IS the evil?
Hasn't it occurred to you that living in the past and clinging to old grievances insures that we can't ever give our children a kinder future that isn't defined by the past?
Did you miss that there were some white folks that died during the Civil Rights era who shared Dr. King's dream that one day, the content of one's character would be what we valued ?
Did you miss that there were always, from the beginning, white folks who thought slavery wrong and who always saw , not color, but humanity?
Every race has awful individuals . I just don't understand why you want to be like the awful individuals in my race. Don't you see that real success comes in being better ? You and Paul Mitchell and the other bigots who write on this blog are just flip sides of the same coin.
angry, insecure men who... need to look down on others to feel good about yourselves and who ignore any fact that doesn't fuel your prejudices.
I respect those who strive to set a good example for our future generations and who want all children of all races to have a better world than they had. I have zero respect for mean spirited people , for those who wallow in self pity and make excuses, for those who feed anger and hatred whatever their color, and for those who refuse to learn facts for themselves but who let themselves be led by those who feed their worst emotions.
And, I will tell you as someone who has certainly be on this earth much longer, you can be given all you thing you are entitled to have, but if you can't make the best of whatever you have at any point in your life, it won't make a difference in your future.

Being born white and privileged is no guarantee. Ever heard of Stuart Irby? Or, how about the names Harmon or Bell? In the end, it's the personal decisions you made that dictated your present just as it did for Paul Mitchell.
