Good thing google earth doesn't have audio

To paraphrase what Ratt Butler said to Sissy, in Carol Burnett's 'Went With the Wind' (upon returning from the Civil War and finding Terra Plantation in ruins), I'll just say, "I LOVE what they've done with the place."

Usually, you have to go to New Orleans to find a Camelback house. Leave it to the fashion-forward Stokeses to bring a bit of the Big Easy to Jacktown. (Notice Kenneth's color-coordinated loungewear.)

And I love the way the driveway has been converted into an outdoor party room - or, probably more specifically, an Outdoor Barbecue Eating Zone. Cleanup is a breeze! Either the area can be hosed-down, or the packs of wild dogs roaming Jacktown can lick up the barbecue sauce.

But I wonder whether the hump in the back is truly a two-storey addition, or if it is not, in actuality, a double-height space intended to provide side-by-side parking for a pair of Mardi-Gras-float-sized derrieres.

Looks Like LaRita has him handcuffed him to the chair.

Considering he doesn't have a job outside of the board, the odds of catching him sitting in a chair on his porch in the middle of the day are pretty high.

nice reinforced front door on kenny and larita's Luv Shack.

Wow! I didn't know he owed any clothes besides those two old-ass suits.

Is it just me or can anyone else see the sweat pouring off of that chair? It is working overtime to hold that big dude up.

Guess LOW REETA took the family hoopty. Kennuf stuck at the house.

The white picket fence is a nice touch.

I'll bet one could make a low offer on that yard-kept Coupe deVille next door and walk/tow away with a bargain.

I like the low roof line on the house. Please show it to the Queen and whoever builds all the houses out in Madison. Many of those things are all roof. Looks awesome from a distance when you see a subdivision of roofs in the old cow pasture.

ifins you makes fun of me and dah hat lady i will wiff and diff and blows your crib down

Reckon Cecil M paid off that mortgage? #Didn'tTakeLong

i wonder how many gang treaties have been made under that hoop in the backyard.. it's set low enough for him to dunk

is that large enough for the two of them and her hats?

Trying to get this article and the one regarding "Stokes Unleashed" connected. Did his racist rant and after meeting comments cause someone to Google Kenneth Stokes and catch him sitting on his front porch? If so, is the house where he is sitting located in Ward 3 of Jackson?

Now, the property being discussed at Supervisor's meeting yesterday is located in or near Byram and what is Kenneth's problem regarding that house? Is it a friend's property? Or just a friend of Robert Graham's? Whose is the Supervisor for the Byram property? All very confusing. I agree with the short deck comment; he is a one-trick (should say pony, but he's too big for that) ox. Yeah, that is better: A One-Trick Ox!

Why does it have to be a WHITE picket fence? I think we all know the answer: racism.

Am I missing something as to the relevance of this? I find it pretty tacky of JJ/KF to post this. I would have to think most of your advertisers (especially those in politics) would agree that posting pictures of a person's home is pretty low rent.

@12:33 -

"Low rent."

I see what you did there.

Am I missing something as to the relevance of this?

When a public figure erupts into a public spectacle........nothing is private.

Two thing pop out to me. Kenny in his black socks trying to figure out what the hell is the "Google Car". I am sure he thought the Klan had returned. Also notice the first class over size A/C unit on the side of the house.

Kenneth Stokes lives with his Mother.

HEY..HEY..HEY..YO

Not many politicians actually make google earth

Sigh. I had hope KF and the general readership were above this sort of childish thing.

Remember that, among other things,

"The True Gentleman does not make the poor man conscious of his poverty, the obscure man of his obscurity, or any man of his inferiority or deformity; who is himself humbled if necessity compels him to humble another; who does not flatter wealth, cringe before power, or boast of his own possessions or achievements."

Hate him or not, are we are seriously sitting around making anonymous degrading comments about another man's home?

Cheers guys. Our grandfathers would be so proud.

Not many politicians are quite as stupid as stokes. There is absolutely no help for him.

Doesn't look like he's going to leave the house that day. Considering there isn't a car there.

Kenny - "Naw whut in dee hell is this? REEETA! Come out heer in look at dis thang on top of dis car."
Larita - "Oooh, Kennuff. The hat on that car is fancier than the hat on my head!"

Thassrite! An' if you scrukinize a so-call "White Picket Fence" it turn out to be jus' a bunch of little white crosses, lined-up in a row. I see a White Picket Fence, and I see white hoods and Grand Dragons.

Brother Kenny has that little white picket fence as a reminder and memorial to The Struggles.

3:35 PM - your statement demonstrates your ignorance.

If he is so "stupid" how can he be a 40 plus year politician?

If he is so "stupid" how does he have Ivy league educated professional children (physician and attorney)?

If he is so "stupid" how come he continues to come out on top.

Stokes took a play book out of white rural Mississippi politicians' playbook and has crafted quite a life for himself in the ensuing 40plus years.

Laugh all you want at his antics and his home...he has a family, supporters, influence, and a home.

Not bad for a "stupid" guy.

Terrible trolling 2:59

Kenneth is a master of retail politics. He's a demagogue in the classic Bilbo mode.

If you like your Stokes, you can keep your Stokes

To the dear Sister @ 4:05,

Stupid people keep electing a igmo. Look it up. I'm sure his children got into those Ivy schools as a result of affirmative action rather than academic merit. After all Kennuf believes the white man has been holdin his strugglin peoples back.

If HBO only knew the reality show they were missing with Kennuf and his gang. I can't help but laugh each time I are that picture thinking of The Cleveland Show.

I had incorrectly assumed after so many years in politics that he had built himself up into a little nicer home than that. I had no idea he represented his constituates so closely. I now have more respect for him.

Please note- I still think he's crazy as hell and a red hot mess.

"Why does it have to be a WHITE picket fence? I think we all know the answer: racism."

Nailed it.

"If he is so "stupid" how can he be a 40 plus year politician?"

Unbelievable as it may be, his constituents are even dumber. To quote Jon Stewart - "it's like being the thinnest kid at fat camp."

See the film "Idiocracy"

That is his mother's house. They live with his mama.

To 8:19 PM

I actually interviewed one of his kids for a job. She is extremely bright and well qualified. She has clerked for a Federal Circuit Judge and worked at highly prestigious places. She is charming, nice, and actually quite attractive.

If you would take a minute to come out from behind your white sheets and hood from the rally, you might actually see for yourself.

(At this point you are inflamed that I insinuated you are a racist and you are thinking up some cute response....but if you have one ounce of humanity in you, read your posts again and reflect on what it is that really drives your cute reply).

And I am not a "Sista" either captain..I drive a bigger truck than you do.

I don't understand relevance on this one either. I have friends who live in houses like this, in houses more fancy, and in houses less fancy. I hope I've never treated any of them differently.

The "I drive a bigger truck than you do" line by 9:47--only good thing about this post.

10:59 you must look and see that 9:47 was addressing a comment made by 8:19 PM to put it in context.
