Jackson Jambalaya

Not liking the police isn't going to hurt Lumumba with the black community in the least.

The WAPT poll is bad news for Lee.

Daayum. Yep, that's a direct quote of Edwin Taliaferro at 1:47.

Sadly, 9:37 is probably right. It'll increase his turnout. Will Louis Armstrong be the next Chief? How many silver stars will that booming voice warrant?

JPD is terrified of the possibility of Lumumba being Mayor and what he would do to the Department.

10:23, I'm afraid of Chewbacca and what he will do to Jackson, let alone the poh-lice department. We should be afraid, very afraid....

It's get even time with whitey. First target - Jackson Academy. Chokwe will demand a larger black enrollment. White businesses will find a disturbing lack of police protection, trash collection, etc. The shakedown is coming and it's going to be Mugabe-style.

A supporter of Choke-a-chicken posted on Facebook Thursday a message from his campaign: "As mayor I will see to it that all citizens of the city will have access to free health care." Will the last sensible person to leave the City of Jackson turn out the lights?

"We need financial support. Every single penny counts. We ran a very expensive campaign to get to where we are, and now we literally have to start over again. There is no limit to how much an individual can give."

-- Jonathan Lee letter sent to Republican households in NE Jackson whitest precincts this week.

OUCH! WAPT poll headline of Lee 49%, Lumumba 35% WILL suppress white turnout. Double OUCH!

Jonathan Lee running radio ads during Rush Limbaugh show!

Whoa, wait a minute....he said in this campaign ad that he is a member of the MS Freedom Deomcratic Party.

Never heard of them.

I've heard of the MS Democratic Party.

11:41, 11:48, 11:59, You are all the same person, you're probably on Chokwe's payroll, and you need to get back to work.

Oh right, I get it. You can't tell people WHY they should vote for Chokwe, so you are going to spend your time trying to tear down Lee.

That tactic means Chokwe running scared.

Kenuf and Larita Stokes endorse Lumbumba. Just what this city needs to return to greatness. Someone indebted to the Stokes.

1:23 pm -- Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party was founded in the 1960s as a civil rights group. It was a major player in the "movement" and was a backbone of the civil rights protests, etc. They kind of aligned themselves under the Democratic Party in later years, but are really a separate group. POWER TO THE PEOPLE!

1:23pm: He also said he was a Christian... *wince*

Just curious, but what was Chokwe's birth name?

Originally named Edwin Taliaferro, he later renounced this as a “slave name” in favor of Lumumba, after the Congolese nationalist and prime minister, and Chokwe, the name of an Angolan tribe.

The scare tactics in these comments are incredible.
I hope most of you don't actually believe what you've posted.
Mr. Lumumba is doesn't have a snow ball's chance in hell.
Demeaning him is unnecessary as much of what he says is nonsensical.
I didn't know of him in his youth, so maybe, to be kind, this is onset of senility or dementia as pandering doesnt' fly,but whatever one's race, one should be capable of knowing he's not making any sense and is inconsistent in his thought patterns.
And, one blogger simply is unable to read since they got the polling results SO wrong!
I'm also astounded that so many of you have so little faith in our system of government. It was brilliantly designed to suffer fools holding office.

Google:

Chokwe Lumumba was born in 1943 into a family of seven brothers and sisters in the public housing projects of Detroit’s West Side. Originally named Edwin Taliaferro, he later renounced this as a “slave name” in favor of Lumumba, after the Congolese nationalist and prime minister, and Chokwe, the name of an Angolan tribe.

If Kenny and LaRita are for him, who can possibly be agin' him?

I do not like the poh lice either. Who does?

Chokwe don't like the poh-leese is kinda the understatement of the century.
Lessee here...his Republic of New Afrika killed a Jackson police officer, his RNA and Black Panthers killed police in NY in the Brinks armed robbery, and Chokwe was the lead counsel in the defense for the Brinks armed robbery and murders.

Republic of New Africa. Skinner. Google it.

Funny how certain people slam Whitwell for representing certain types of clients or Lee for advertising here but nary a word about who Chokwe has represented. Don't see me do it as who a man takes for a customer or client is his business but other people don't think that way. Obviously.

This man is too concerned with race, witch makes those too concerned with race giddy for now they have someone who wants what they want, only the opposite.

CL is going to win this election, and I think it is for the better. I like the the Perot, Paul, Sanders, and Kucinich types who actually believe in something other than making a lot dough and being safe.

KF, you feed and profit from hate, but I am still glad you offer up the information you do.

KF-
Also google Brinks truck armed robbery and Chokwe

10:41 here, KF: Thanks for letting that one through. Sorry for the which/witch typo. Long few days.

10:41; Whatchu got against 'being safe'? Is that not a family-goal where you stay?

Tom Head hopes Mr. Seperatist wins, because deep down inside, the adamant "I'm not a racist and wanna prove it" schtick.....is evidence...that he is racist.

5:16 - I was referring to being politically safe. As far as what you are talking about Ben Franklin said it best: "Those Who Sacrifice Liberty For Security Deserve Neither."

Criminal defense is a large area of practice both white collar and otherwise. Former US Attorneys, former Governors, etc have the well-heeled clients. Big criminal cases have a right to superior representation if they can afford it. Lumumba is a successful lawyer with many national cases such as Brinks, Pontiac 16, Tupac Shakur, & c. He has a broad view of political matters so he is engaged down to the street level in his community to improve conditions that lead to criminality.

8:16; Then say whatchu mean and don't rely on Andy Rooney or Ben Franklin to bail your lame ass out.

BTW, Isn't Taliaferro and Italian name? Is this where he gets his light complexion and European nose? No wonder he's pissed off at Chris Columbus.

8:16
Do any of these cases involve perps not associated with crimes and murder against law enforcement?
No.
Refer to title of thread.
Thank you

Oh My God! "Italians For Chokwe". This could swing the election!

On the other hand, he may check into rehab when he realizes he's Italian.

I well remember the Republic of New Africa and the senseless murder of Mr. Skinner, the Jackson Policeman! Chockwe was the ring leader of that "gang" and "gang" is exactly what it was. Also, I have it on good authority that the night of the shooting, a certain U. S. Congressman was one of first ones out of the house when the bullets started flying!!!! He and ole Chockwe have been friends for a long time!!!!
