Jackson Jambalaya

The perfect leader for Jackustan.

“Some people say the ‘statute of limitations’ has run out,” said attorney Chokwe Lumumba. “We’re seeking reparations for abuse. We’re seeking reparations for abuse as a nation of people. Our statute of limitations has not run out. The statute of liberation is running right now at this very moment today.

“We’re seeking reparations for the abuses that came to our people. They don’t start with slavery. They start when they snatched the first Africans off the continent and invaded the continent of Africa. We’re seeking war reparations because we’re war victims,” said Mr. Lumumba.

I'm black and Chokwe radical ass makes me nervous.

Let me preface this by saying that I am an Air Force brat and couldn't be more proud of my father... that being said...

You were a captain in the Air Force and "fought" under that flag? Really? Harvey Johnson fly a bunch of sorties I'm not aware of?

Wasn't he a signal intel officer? *cough*GlorifiedListener*cough*

All of that being said, none of this matters... because you can't be more ashamed of Lumumba than you already should be.

I bet Harvey does too, Jonathan.

a man's service in the US military is to be commended and i'm thankful for Harvey's service. I don't live in Jackson and don't care who is the mayor, but I think he scored big on that punch and deservedly so!

Hey Chock, 600,000 Americans, mostly white Americans, died in the civil war to end slavery. At this point, lets call it even and have a life

I really hope Chokwe wins. And I think there's a really good chance. People get what they deserve in elections. See, for example, Kennef Stokes.

I think it would be hilarious to see the logical conclusion of Democrat rule.

Is that really all y'all have to choose from down there?

2:29.....850,000 died. Three times more than WWII. Yankees 500+. Confederacy 350+.

Chokwe inhabits his own nation and probably has his own personal flag. I'm sure it is real purty.

"people of Jackson look like us , but they ain't like us"..what kind of BS. If Chokwe and his "give us money because we are black and historically abused" colleagues gain traction, expect Jacktown to descend further into crime and poverty as whites AND blacks with meaningful incomes and property depart for greener pastures. Chokwe just wants a Mayor Nagen all chocolate city with access to your wallet.

I guess I should get my house ready for sale in Madison, if Chokwe wins...just imagine the flight out. Blacks and Whites! I might just hit pay dirt!

Simply, we tend to vote for people who (1) look like us, and (2) we perceive will do something *for* us.

Thanks KF. It's this type of reporting that allows voters accurate information to use in formulating an opinion of candidates.

Exactly 7:50 AM... the problem is that the informed minority is just that. The rest are still getting their "news" from the JFP. *facepalm*

You would be surprised at how many blacks read JJ. I'm proud of it actually as they are getting news about their leaders they are not getting in the link, advocate, or at WMPR. Even if I spin it, they can still watch the videos, read the docs, and decide for themselves.

Tell you what 8:28 AM from the looks of it the long knives are out for Chokwe at the JFP. Even Bulbous Tommy Cabeza is uncomfortable. Ladd will do anything to get HJJ into the run-off. ANYTHING.

8:28 here. Yes Phil, it occurred to me immediately after posting that people getting their "news" from the other source were also probably hearing all about how awful Chokwe is. The problem is that they then present the logical choice to be Harvey. *weeps for Jackson*

I hope the Fondren Bugle continues the drumbeat for HJJ. That should make ole Harve very, very uncomfortable. Not good company to be with......

although I have recited the pledge of the flag, the problem I have is that the republic for which its stands does not apply the liberty and justice for all part. I'm not a chokwe supporter but I respect his opinion. just because I don't like the MS flag doesnt mean I hate MS. I'm not a fan of Mayor Johnson but that's not going to make me leave Jackson.

First of all none of the white people I have ever known has owned a slave of any race. So I, nor any other whites of today, owe anyone anything. The true civil rights leaders of yester-year would be ashamed of the black community today. Slaves were hardly "snatched" from the shores of the African nations. They were sold/traded by their own people; the triangle trade. This guy is a poor excuse for a leader and has an agenda to further an ideal of hate and division. No one needs or deserves that.

I did not realize the correct pronunciation is "Shock-Way" until I heard him clarify that.

"I respect the right of those who want to salute that flag. But, I reserve the right to form my own thoughts about that flag, including slavery". 6:00 news, 5/3/13 channel 12 WJTV.

Stokes relegated portraits and statues of Confederates to the basement. Shock-WE will relegate the US Flag to the shit-pile.

Imagine, if you will, an industrial prospect being delivered to City Hall by a representative of Entergy accompanied by someone from the Economic Development staff. After a round of handshakes and appropriate 'welcomes' and the handing out of brochures, a sharp pencil and small, lined pad, everyone takes a seat at Chokwe's shiny, oak conference table.

Chokwe's girl brings him a pitcher of water and several yellow notes indicating he has calls to return. Really important ones.

One of the prospect's team members has a curious question and breaks the ice: "We were told on the airplane coming in that the City of Jackson doesn't recognize the national flag. Surely that can't be true." The team members chuckle, assuming the idiocy of that suggestion will get the meeting rolling on a 'patriot-for the people' theme.

The mayor responds, "Well, that's partly true. I don't recognize the flag for a variety of reasons, but we're here today to discuss the reasons you should consider Jackson for your next ground-breaking."

Several of the team are already beginning to scribble on the city-logo note-pads provided by Chokwe's girl. The man from Entergy winces as if he needs a hemorrhoidal wipe and the economic development guy's head is mostly covered by his palm.

Our favorite "civil liberties" writer, Dr. Thomas Head, PHD, MD, DDS, Esq. will be thrilled when Chokwe wins and all us honkies will be executed.

What is Tom Head's race. I never could nail it down. I would axe HIM, but he don't know.........

What is Tom Head's race.

He's from Uranus but I don't know which specific race from that planet. English is his [n]th language.

Thomas Head is what we would comsider, at first glance, to be a white male. He is, however, according to him, a black, lesbian feminist bent on taking down the "white, male patriarchy" that dominiates world society and oppresses the indigenous peoples.
