Jackson Jambalaya

Jackson is going to f this election up I just feel it.

Why hasn't the Fondren Harpy breathlessly reported the results of the Jackson 20/20 PAC filing? Please Karen, tell us why.

Wlbt.com just called Flagg in Vicksburg.

Yeah, @7:53, I get the same feeling. As I said before, the city will get the mayor it deserves out of this election. Starting tomorrow, we know whether to believe or let it rot.

Interesting comment.

If you check on WLBT what City Council races totals are so far you can tell what precincts have come in for the mayor's race.

Looks like some Ward 7 and south JXN boxes so far.

Jonathan vs. Chokwe is an awful matchup for Jonathan.

Halfway there (or less pending absentees) and Jackson is getting it right so far. I'm pleasantly surprised. Sweep the leg, Lee!

No matter the outcome, the fact that a militant, racist, anti-American piece of sh*t like Lumumba could pull the votes he has is a harbinger of the death of Jackson. This is a shameful day.

If Chuck Way wins my drink of choice will be diesel.
If Jonathan Lee wins I will be sipping on the closest bottle of Brüt I can find.

Don't shit the bed Jackson, again!

Rankin County Proud

Yeah the Chamber and Ward 1 are so smart they're stupid. If they liked working with Harvey they're going to love Chok. Wonder how Good's business will be after 4 years of Chok.

Lee's got 35%...a commanding lead, but still not close to avoiding a runoff. Looks like Hovvy is having a rough night. Looks like a convention center doesn't buy you much when running against a bright young man (on one hand) and a bitter bigoted idiot (on the other).

If only he had gotten that BB King's open in time...

Anyone remember the "anyone but Hillary" republicans?
How did that work out for us?

@9:24; Jeff Good is supporting Lee.
I'm ward 1 & I support Lee. So where does your vitriol come from? Ward 1 is not suicidal. We live in Jackson, work in Jackson & support Jackson, as best we can.

"Did anyone think Harvey would NOT make the runoff?"

I didn't have a clue, but a bailiff I talked to in Hinds County courthouse on Monday predicted the Lee v. Chokwe runoff, so perhaps some people did see it coming.

I can't wait for Chokwe to be elected High Chief of Jackistan. I can't wait for those semi-literate bigots to get exactly the kind of folk socialism they think they want.

Sure glad we re-upped Mayor Mary. We're going to need build a goddamn Berlin Wall to keep out the refugees from Lumumbaland.

Enjoy that feeling of progress tonight, Jackson. I get the feeling you'll muck it all up in 2 weeks...

What will Chokwe's first action as mayor be? Rename the reservoir to Lake Stokely Carmichael? Build a statue to Malcolm X in Smith Park? Raise the taxes on all white owned businesses to 92%? Purge the JPD of all crackers and arrest anyone with a Col. Reb bumper sticker?

@9:45 Duh! And in doing so, you have pretty much insured a Lumumba victory in the runoff. I'll bet my Madison mortgage Lee won't beat Chok. Keep on supporting the best you can by shooting yourself in the foot. Case in point a FB post of a young republican women who said she only voted Dem for the first time ever to vote for Lee... hee hee hee... we'll see how that stands up in two weeks.

The only white face at Choke way's camp is the poor WAPT reporter who drew the short skraw. They're doing an Arsenio-style chant...basically what you'd expect.

This is a perfect outcome for Lee. Whites will vote in record numbers in the runoff from fear of Chokwe and so will moderate blacks, which the majority of Jacksonians are(notwithstanding the, let me say, diversity challenged minority of commenters on this thread.


If Lee continues to work his tail off, as he has been, he walks in. And the floodgates of money will open for his campaign.


Good riddance to Mayor Johnson. Hopefully we never hear from him again.

Who will Dunno and Wrongi support now? After the last issue of JFP I gotta think they will support the racist. Jambalaya crawfish pie mea culpa! SHEBOO Roll Tide

Look, I still live in Jackson, and I do have my complaints, too. But, you Rankin County, cousin-kissing, booger-snatching racist posters on here are just BS'ers! You are an embarrassment, not only Rankin County - but the entire state! I've seen your continual ignorant, racist comments on this site regularly, too. And, who are you supposed to be anyway? Come on dude. I mean, really(SMDH)? As soon as integration began, your type of folk either shut down your businesses, took them away from Jackson and/or ran your butts away from Jackson cause you refused to accept change! Instead of having commerce on your minds, as did places like Atlanta, you closed up shop and left! Personally, I'm glad your gone! No need to wonder why Mississippi is so far behind! In your case, I wish mothers would eat their young! So, no, Bubba, you have no right to say anything negative about Jackson. Feel free to shut your one-toothed trap! Now, you be a good little boy, and get back to using your usual 'intimate talents' to satisfy your hogs, dogs, goats or whatever kind of critter you're into!

I saw a dopey-looking, college-aged white guy holding a Chokwe sign outside a polling place tonight. How stupid can people be? (rhetorical question)

to 10:25 you are SO off base and such a hater.
another angry lib getting just what he wanted and still unhappy. Can ANYONE look at Chokwe with an objective lens and not be disappointed & disgusted with his Raciocentric rhetoric? I am not from here and do not frankly give a crap how you destroy your city

Zapped this one by mistake. Sorry snonymous

Her shilling wasn't enough . . .

http://www.jacksonfreepress.com/news/2013/may/01/re-elect-harvey-johnson-jr/

Now she's in an impossible spot. Does she endorse the seccesionist/racist (Lumumba) or does white guilt consume her as she has to endorse the candidate who will not burn the city to the ground (Lee)?

JFP and its white-guilt ridden editor Laddie will endorse the *lesser* of two evils, i.e., the "blacker" candidate, Lumumba.

Come on, is there anyone who actually looks to the JFP for voting advice? For that matter, is there anyone who actually reads the JFP? The only people I know who pay it any mind are those looking for club listings.

I honestly believe that Vlad speaks only to herself and her group of "friends". It's like a blog published in newsprint.

I want to hear from the two brave anonymous Madison residents who said if Mayor Mary were reelected their homes would be on the market this morning. WHERE ARE YOU??? It is a great day for Madison, Mississippi.

Good for Lee. I really fear that the Stokes voters will view him as an Uncle Tom and vote for Choke a-Way. Long live the Republic.

I am TOTALLY amazed at the number of votes Chokwe L received. It scares me that there are that many blacks in Jackson who hate whites so deeply that they endorse Chokwe L, one of the leaders of the Republic of New Afrika. RNA mission is to turn much of the South into New Afrika soil.

I hope Chokwe's supporters realize that his pie-in-the-sky lure will bring nothing but misery for all.

I've met so many blacks living in Jackson that seem to have no problem with whites. I really have felt comfortable and safe living around many of them who are neighbors.

Now I will second-guess their openness and friendliness and wonder if they really want ole whitey out of here.
I have lived in my home for over 45years and will now feel somewhat like a stranger in my neighborhood-I'm an intruder in the Chokwe L's supporter's view.
I will now keep an extra watchful eye...

Stokes voters voted and they arent enough to elect Chokwe. Surely, there are enough Quinn & Harvey voters to put Lee over the top.

Where is Sam Begley?

9:09 you live in Madison and you are simply stirring shit up. Go kick your dog or something.

That being said, ole Harvey and his arrogance got a real comeuppance. Can't WAIT to eyeball Sam and crew. Andrews "MONETARY reign of roommate" now OVER.

9:40, you must have a reading comprehension disorder.
Do you just search for things to bellow about?
Read my words again, but slowly...
I LIVE and vote in Jackson and I sure hope you don't!
Rabble-rouser, you are. I hope you don't have a dog to kick around because the impression you give of yourself is that of someone who would abuse animals.

Bye Kingfish,

Over the past couple of months, I have enjoyed reading your blog. The material that YOU write and that YOU post is always of substantial quality. However, there is a large portion of your commenters that I just can't put up with anymore without being perpetually pissed off that such ignorance exists.

First, multiple of them post that they believe that lumumba will take it all - that he will get the majority of the vote, or at least he will be the front runner. I mean what other outcome is there since the city is majority black? I can almost hear them say that as they conveniently ignore the fact that almost all the other candidates are black as well.

Then, they act surprised that lumumba won so many votes when he actually got much FEWER votes than they predicted. Whatever. No comment.

There are several posters that are more open about their racism (like the guy that started his post with the inquiries as to what chokwe would do first in office (as if he is actually going to be elected anyway)).

I'm not saying that their first amendment right to free speech should be taken away from them. They should be allowed to think and express whatever they want. I am only practicing my right to walk away when disgusted.

So this is my last time to visit jacksonjambalaya.com. If you actually post this (I don't care whether you do or not) I am sure that the foaming at the mouth portion of your readers will have some interesting things to say about me. At least then they will have something to complain about other than racial minorities.

10:27... I'll take the bait, knowing that you will be here to read it of course...

Oh noes! Anonymous poster #392 is leaving the site forever. Whatever will we do?!

And on this day, 0 f's were given.

Sincerely,

Anonymous #217

So this is my last time to visit jacksonjambalaya.com.

ROFLMAO. You are ANONYMOUS. We're all heartbroke that you are leaving after only a couple of months but since we don't know who you are nobody gives a damn.

Goodbye Anonymous. Hopefully you'll find a way to get over yourself.

WOW..just read some of the comments at the JFP. Unreal. I had seen that " Tom Head" mentioned on here but had no idea he is as delusional as his postings on JPF paint him to be.
His picture really IS worth 1000 words.
Just another self-loathing white idiot.

Sincerely,

Anonymous #651

After all the bluster why hasn't the JFP reported on the Jackson 20/20 campaign finance filing?

So wait, 10:40, Jackson puts an avowed black supremacist in the runoff but it's the guy who makes a joke about Stokeley Carmichael who's racist?

To 09:09am May 8th: I am the poster @ 11:56pm May 7th. I agree that Chokwe would not be good look. Especially, since Jackson is already in trouble economically. I know the image of Jackson is not good right now. But I feel, with the right leadership and vision, Jackson could quite possibly improve. Yet, that one little cut of Jackson still has Mrs. Stokes as their city council person, and will most likely NOT improve. So, the rest of Jackson should just move on! Chokwe is too polarizing - for both whites and blacks! Also, Jackson would do well to do away with any person who does not embrace diversity! Running a city is a business, not a pissing contest!

Where is the smart ass prick that posted every other day the "Lee won't get out of the primary"?

About this runoff...I wish I understood why the majoirty did not win..Come on Lee, give Jackson the change it needs.

10:27 a.m. Stay here with the few of us who call BS on the flat-earthers who regularly comment here. Unable to carry on a reasonable debate about the issues, they simply vilify anyone who dares to disagree with their Far Right extremist nonsense.


And they'll get bored if they don't have anyone to denigrate. Don't retreat!

I don't care if you do call me "racist". It's used to much to have any sting anyway. I could care less. I remember when I could ride my bike at 2:00 AM in the neighborhoods around Millsaps if I so took an urge. Try that now. Is it white racist you will get mugged or robbed by? Probably not.
Remember the mall at 5 points? Used to be "the" place back in the day. Metro Center? Northpark is going down fast.Nobody with money to spend of any race wants to shop in New Jack City. The Ramada Inns? On and on and on. The Have a nice, steaming cup of reality. Blacks killed Jackson. May have been other contributing factors but that's the largest one. Decent people of any race left and will never come back.

Jackson is gone and shall never return.

Is 11:31 AM an example of a Lee supporter?

11:51. Jackson is about to become the new Detroit. Choker will simply accelerate that fall.

To 11:51am: YOU are an irrelevant racist - an enigma of the past! The mall @ 5points? Full of deflection and rot! You're a joke, and do not deserve my attention after this post. Yet, even you, with your small-minded self, have a valid point - the increase in Jackson's crime. Listen JJ bloggers, MANY black folk DO NOT want Chokwe as the Mayor of Jackson! And, going forward, please ignore the pesky little fungus @ 11:51am. I'm asking for a good debate about the current issues affecting Jackson, and what you feel may help revive this city.

I think it is great that Lee and Quinn secured such a large portion of the vote, Harvey too. It would indicate to me that voters in Jackson are more conservative than I believed.

Whoever wins, please just fix the roads. I don't think that is much to ask for.

Well 12:33, we could begin with the public schools, including discipline, teachers and administrators, not necessarily in that order. (Admittedly many of the problems stem from student's home life, but that is uncontrollable by the aforementioned.) Notice the larger industries, with the exception of Nissan, are in areas outside of Jackson; without competitive paying jobs, retail and housing cannot thrive. Then there's higher education opportunities, and of course adequate police and fire protection. Is that enough to start with??

Not sure how a vote for a black democrat equates to conservatism. But, oh well...........

1:38 Nissan is in Canton, not Jackson.

In re: May 8, 2013 at 2:35 PM

Learn to read. I said "more conservative" not "a conservative".

The comprehension of some never ceases to dwindle.

Whats racist about the truth? No, its not a black problem, its an uneducated black problem, the same way Pearl is an inbred, undeducated white problem. If the candidate with the stupid name wins, yes, the city will be a new Detroit. Just as Detroit fell, the chickens came home to roost with arrests on corruption charges. Same will (hopefully) happen if when Lumumumumbibbity boo dicks everything up. And look closer, that college age white kid endorsing Lumumumumboobippity was probably, upon closer inspection, a 30 something year old, self loathing, Dr. Tom Head, M.D., D.D.S., PhD. Esquire.

Well KAPT, you're quite the smartass again today. To be "MORE" conservative, wouldn't one have to have some conservatism instilled? Please apologize to 2:35 for your rudeness.

Moving up the spectrum anywhere to the right of Chockwe is "more conservative"; get a life if you feel critiquing my every comment is your anonymous daily grind.

I'm the one who first responded to Captain Kangaroo on his conservatism comment. 3:51 speaks for him/herself, but I agree.

A more conservative black democrat is sorta like a less offensive turd in the pool. Ain't no sucha thang.

Crosby's comment after the results were in speaks volumes. His immediate comment was, "Well, I have two more years left as Madison County Supervisor". In other words, this was just another of many 'who cares what the outcome is' races.

What did he have to lose? He still has the job he held, Warnock funded his race, so he's out......not a damned thing. Another example of why we need a law to require that a public servant give up a current job in order to run for another. That's the rule with state employees, if I'm not mistaken.

You certainly deserve critiquing. Learn to chews your words more politely.

I can appreciate you being straight forward May 8, 2013 at 1:38 PM. And please, call me PEGASUS343, since I plan to be on here as often as I can. About the schools: Quite pitiful, and I consider it abusive to send your children to JPS as it exists today. This is why I approve school board members being voted in, and not appointed. But, I tutor many of the kids in the system, and they are quite intelligent.But, since the JPS officials do not draw a hard-line on academics and behavior, the children suffer. All this while the JPS officials still get a paycheck and won't bother to dig deeper to get the job done! Personally, I believe the alternative school should be the larger school. The zero tolerance policy @ JPS is a joke! Those kids know better, and they need to be shut down - hard! And, that goes for the parents and their foolishness, too! As far as businesses go: This city has not proven to be business-friendly. Too much paperwork, bad public relations from the mayor's office, safety issues, etc. This new mayor MUST pursue the business community, and offer them an attractive enough package to either remain or come here. Corporations are looking to cut costs all the time, and many are looking to move south. But, keep in mind, those companies do their homework, too. Jackson's leadership must truly have Jackson at their heart, or nothing's going to happen. Of the two candidates, Mr. Lee would be the best man. That other cat is questionable. Your thoughts? Some of you still live here. What would be your solution?

And please, call me PEGASUS343, since I plan to be on here as often as I can.

Oh, joy. But thanks for using a consistent handle as that will make it easier to avoid your long winds.

As for Lee, his business acumen is open to serious debate.

Reading is fundamental. Still haven't learned have you?

You haven't learned how to write either.

Good point 8:56pm.

To 10:27 What Minorities
have u ever shopped Kroger on Terry Rd?

May 8, 2013 at 6:05 PM: (SMDH) Yes, do avoid me, bottom-feeder! No one asked for your sarcasm. You can't even be civil. Silly rabbit!

PEGASUS343 6:05 has valid concerns. As far as your rhetoric is concerned, it's been the same for at least 50yrs.

AMEN 5:11. Crosby really thought he had a chance??? He is a loser. I guess all of that vacant property across from Fontenel will still be vacant for the next four years..Sorry Dickey..........

Glad Quinn didn't make it. I liked her every time I saw her speak or at a debate but then I the more I dug, the less I liked. Greg Brand ran her campaign. Robert Graham was backing her. Then the Palisades fiasco involving her husband and law partner. I'd like to see her in the legislature but I would not want her in a job where she could award contracts with that crowd around her. period.

"I'd like to see her in the legislature...."

One is compelled to assume you're deep into adult beverage in order to make that comment.
