Jackson Jambalaya

I wasn't expecting much from them anyway.

It should be noted that Blacks can't be racist. YEA RIGHT. Where are the JFP and CL in reporting on this blatantly racist activity? I'm sure the JFP would just as quiet if a white board did the same thing. WHAT A BUNCH OF PHONIES!

9:34 You are being harsh! I'm sure DonnerKay is typing a tome right now on the inequities of this action.

Why am I not surprised. Aren't we suppose to have a special election to replace Phil Fisher?

What does anyone expect from a madman who continues to impersonate sworn police officers to this very day.

The crack news team over @ WAPT has the new Sups and their districts reversed. Damn fine journalists you've hired Stuart.

When the Illuminati say we can.

Kenneth Stokes, racist? You must be joking!

First we needed a fence around the city limits of Jackson, now it looks like Hinds county in total will need to be boxed in.

I'm sure someone else will win the district 4 election...it's just a matter of how much damage can be done until then..

Just the way Kenny and LaRita Stokes want it....(could they be the same person?) Look just alike.....the chocolate city just became a chocolate county....Down goes Jackson, down goes Hinds.

Equal rights for all until they are in charge....then it's " we gone get our turn now".

Is this not actionable as a breach of federal civil rights legislation? I think an enterprising attorney could make a name for himself by addressing and correcting this injustice.

Graham is going to jack up property taxes. Only a formality now.

okay Jacksonians, what do we need to do? there is a lot of talk but nobody is willing to do anything? Obvious the "white" wards didnt come out and vote so...what to do now? sell your home and move to the burbs???

Peggy got played for sure. If both these guys follow through on their pledge to not run, then I'm not as upset as most other white folks. Absent that pledge, the appointment of an interim supervisor would be politicized beyond belief. I think both seats will be filled by competent people in November, if we can survive that long. Hopefully the county attorney educates them both on their personal liability if they use the seat for personal gain like has been alleged against two others.

I was going to post something, but I realized when it comes to the sorry ass thieves running Hinds county and Jackson, I would be wasting my time.

Now for something constructive....

Hey everyone in Eastover, there's a gun show this weekend. Just thought you might want to know.

Just wait, I'll bet when election time comes both appointees will say they have been asked by the people of their district to run. This is only a ploy to show there was nothing to worry about.. Any takers?

Jackson will be the next Chicago and Hinds County will be the next Cook County.

If anyone in Hinds County has the desire and intelligence to look up the law, they will find that it takes all three of the remaining supervisors to appoint anyone to the board. Since Hinds County is short two supervisors, all three will now have to vote before action can be taken on any issue. If the CL is correct, only two supervisors voted for these appointees. Consequently, they are void, or at least voidable if challenged.

Hinds County is now the de facto Republic of New Africa. Lumumba is a visionary.

Eastover here. Yep, see ya at the gun show. Seriously. The headline won't read "shooting in Eastover" if they bring their sorry asses up in here. It will say "shootOUT in Eastover."

As a white resident of district 4, I'm not the least bit concerned about the appointed representative for my district is black. I am, however, VERY concerned about the fact that he was chosen by these racist imbeciles. Doesn't say much AT ALL for his character.

Hey 6:46, what is the basis for your post? Is there a statute, if so, citation please? That is very interesting.

why hasn't robert graham been jailed for claiming work hours for the city of jackson when he was really in atlanta doing personell buisiness? did stacey pickering give him an ol boy pass?

The good thing about this is, no Hinds county just became a "Pass through county", just like Jacktown has been for years. The citizens of Hinds county and Jackson get what they deserve, they elected these idiots! I will be taking my sales tax dollars to the surrounding counties! Hinds County and Jackson will be filing for bankruptcy in 2 years, then we the tax payers of Mississippi will be asked to bail out the "Bold new city, and bold new county!"

10:06, in response to your question, there are some attorney general's opinions that address the issue. I will try to find the specific opinions of the AG that address this issue and post it tomorrow.

Robert Walker was on the City of Jackson's payroll for years, after being run out of Vicksburg. He spent 80% of his time as Vicksburg Mayor lobbying for a monument in the Military Park and 100% of his time in Johnson's administration teaching Johnson how to do something besides grant-writing. Maybe he will be able to teach Stokes how to conduct himself in public. Any bets?

Walker is a good guy with a working knowledge of how government operates, and should be a fine stand-in for a few months. The other guy I have no clue about.

For once the spot light is off Canton and the fools that made up the administration.

Hope the new administration can show the people how to get something done.

I will probably sell the land that's been in my family for over 100 years in rural Hinds County and move out of State, if not out of country.

I'm still hoping to learn of a black run government not rife with corruption where its citizen are free to flourish. Give me one good example.

The chickens have come home to roost...this is the cost of slavery.

Robert Walker being 'a fine stand in who knows how government operates' is beside the point, and worse, irrelevant. Robert Graham and Ken Stokes 'know how government operates' too. So does Chokwe Lumumba and so did Harvey Johnson (after Walker taught him). So does John Bell Crosby. So does Harry Reid. So does....

Robert Walker is a certified, proven racist. He is former mayor of Vicksburg and ran that city into the ground and then assisted the demise of Jackson with his boss, Frank Melton. Walker lives in Byramdale Estates within the city limits of Byram in a half-million dollar house. Byramdale is the only segregated subdivision in Byram; it's all black. Some Byram blacks have been angry that the mayor and board of alderman were all whites for the last four years. For four years they have said, "Just wait until the election!" Well, the election is over and the people have spoken: only two blacks were elected as aldermen and the new mayor is Richard White, not Kevin Lavine, Robert Walker's hand-picked black man. So even though Byram is over 52% black, the Supes are going to show them!! They will rescind funding of the Byram Fire Department's two-way radios because the election didn't go their way!! Walker didn't even vote for the city in which he lives. Pitiful.

For the last four years the fair and impartial city government of Byram has tried to do what is best for the citizens--ALL the citizens. Blacks have nothing to complain about; that is part of their anger. They leave decaying Jackson and then want to install officials in their new city who will do the same things as were done in Jackson. Kevin Lavine let it be known that, if elected, he wanted a big salary, city car, and expense account, and he said he would fire all the white department heads and replace them with blacks.

Is this racism?? Can blacks possibly be racist?? If whites did the same things, Jesse and Al would be on the next plane to Mississippi.
