Jackson Jambalaya

Good job, JPD on catching these guys. Time for these guys to be put away.

A white man beaten to death by a multiple blacks? Shocking. Just Shocking. I would have never guessed that....

Thank you, JPD.

They deserve life at hard labor without parole but the DA and judges will have them out on the streets again in no time.

Good work JPD, keep it up.

Simple robbery gone bad?

Or something a little more to the story?

Great job JPD on identifying & arresting these criminals so quickly! Sympathy goes out to the family, but hopefully it helps them to have some closure while they continue to grieve.

notice a trend here? Young blacks killing older upper class whites. Where is the DOJ. Fuck you Obama, Holder, Sharpton, and Jackson, you are all a bunch of goddamn hypocrites.

How odd that so many of these suspects are young black males.

Be interested to see the rap sheets on these individuals.

Whi is this not being elevated to capital murder? I thought all homicides during the commission of another crime got elevated.

10:21: They kill older black people as well and small black children.

So grateful JPD got these two and I feel certain they will get the third one. What a brutal murder and so unnecessary. The two mug shots here almost look identical. Are they kin?

Shouldn't they have been charged with Capital Murder? (Murder during the commission of a robbery)

How much you want to bet the photos you see in the report were taken sometime BEFORE these two assholes were apprehended? (i.e., JPD already had them on file....)

Good work JPD!

JPD seems to be catching the bad guys. Too bad Kidd and Green have them back on the streets in no time.

Don't be an apologist KF. You know EXACTLY the point being made by 10:21. These animals live that way in the hood. We don't.

No felonies on them in Hinds County.

Their Mother's response: My child might rob somebody but they wouldn't kill nobody.

Imagine the national angst and repercussions, if two white teens from JA or Prep did this same vile, brutal beating/murder to a mid-50's black man at a freaking Waffle House.

Every week Kingfish is posting stories where black people either kill or attempt to kill white people. Yet you rarely report on the stories where white people kill black people. Racist.

I hope Robert Shuler Smith prosecutes these thugs as vigorously as he did the white kids of the hate crime against the black man.

Links 10:46. Where the hell in Jackson have white folks killed black folks like we read EVERY DAY here in Jackustan. The horrible Pearl redneck murder of James Anderson made national news, and those pricks went DOWN. Identify some others. Liar.

Name some other attacks on blacks by whites like the Eastover doctor, Carolyn Temple and now this. All in the last few months. Are you going to say with a straight face that white folks are attacking black folks like these punks are attacking whites?...EVERY DAY we read of yet another daddy-less shit head pulling crimes like this.

Fuck it. My formerly loyal Jackson ass has HAD IT and I am moving to Madison. Don't give me that shit that "it is coming there too". They take care of business.

I don't get all the kudos to JPD. All they did was look at the video. Any 7th grader could solve this.

Kudos to Waffle House for investing in video equipment.

@10:46 - It could be the reason is because 99.99% time that the person killed is killed in self defense.

10:46 -- Give us some examples locally. We're waiting……………………………….hmm, thought you'd have a hard time coming up with them. When we're 18% of the population in Jackson (white) and that is trending downward -- statistics are not in your favor. You have a feral group/pack of young black men, who are out of control. Ignoring this makes you complicit in their behavior.

This will not be politically correct, but since death has been interjected, I think we can feel free to discuss this issue. Years ago, I watched a special on Nat Geo about out of control, young male elephants in Africa. The gamekeepers were at a loss as to why they were rampaging, destroying property, killing other animals indiscriminately. They had been reared only in a herd of females (with mothers) -- no male, bull elephants to teach them what it meant to be a member of the herd, and what was acceptable behavior.

Someone suggested they bring in older male Bull elephants, who historically had been the disciplinarians of the younger males. These younger elephants had been reared only under the care of their mothers and had had no male influence. Once older male Bull elephants were inserted into the herd, the behavior halted………..Immediately.

Maybe we can all learn an anthropological lesson here -- these young men need to be halted in their destruction and to do that, they need to have their ass kicked by someone older, wiser, and with some moral authority.

Who's willing to step to the plate?

I see what ya did there, 10:48. Haha

10:46 11:03
You are where you are because of past decisions. If you want to be somewhere else, start making different decisions.

Respect is not a participation trophy. You have to earn it.

11:26 does not get sarcasm.

10:46 here

I'm well aware that there's virtually no white on black crime, while blacks are killing us for sport. KF won't approve comments like that, so I posted that. You all knew what I was saying.

11:01, those young "men" who just committed this murder are headed to a place where there are plenty of "bulls", who will be doing plenty to those punks asses besides just kicking them.

But yes: early interactions with valid male role models would have helped immensely. As it is, their role models have been the negative ones in various media. Media shows blacks killing white people, and even offers a whole salad of justifications for the killing and the robbing. Just watch "The People Under the Stairs". It's like a training/indoctrination flick, aimed at kids: what white people have in their houses; what's valuable; why white people are bad and crazy; how to break into their houses; why it's OK to kill them; how wonderful it will be, once you've killed the crazy old white people and stolen their stuff...

11:49 -- 11:01 here -Just read an interesting article on St. Paul MN paying for "WHITE PRIVILEGE TRAINING" to the tune of millions in the district. (Druge Report - but the direct link is below).

When the government infrastructure starts supporting this type of behavior, and excusing it through programs that are racist in nature, we're in deep trouble. Also -- glad to know the "boys" will be indoctrinated into the herd at CMCF or elsewhere.

Take a gander at this -- it's a sad day.

and this:

http://eagnews.org/teachers-complain-chaos-reigns-as-st-paul-schools-spend-millions-on-white-privilege-training/

Anyone for a separate country? -- might have more luck than we did in 1861.

12:07 - Did you really just link to an Infowars article? God help us.

No different than Islamic terrorist. Democrats love them.

I did not have the privilege of knowing Eric while he was alive. However, what I've heard about him portrays him as a good and compassionate man. That being said, I'm sure he would be deeply saddened by people, like yourselves, using his death to add fuel to a race war. There is no evidence at all that this crime was motivated by anything other than greed. No information suggests that they would not have attacked another black person. The population of Jackson is approximately 20% white, which puts more white people in Jackson than in the city of Madison. Of the thirty murders that have occurred in the city this year (a high number, I know), two of the victims were white. So, despite your contentions otherwise, white people are much less likely to suffer from these tragic crimes than are black people. If it were the other way around, as you guys suggest, the numbers would be quite different. The inflammatory and ill-informed remarks on here are dangerous, divisive, and have no place in the 21st century. I'll keep you in my prayers, it seems to me that prayer is something you guys desperately need.

1:02 p.m.: I agree with many of your comments and you have a point about black on black being the dominant crime. Which leads to the larger issue, how are we going to civilize these young punks so they can (and will) function responsibly as, law-abiding citizens? Blame it on teens having babies they can't support, unknown fathers, and dozens of other "blame" causes. The bottom line is there is rot in the black community and until responsible blacks acknowledge and step to the plate and bring about community change these crimes will continue. But, we should also acknowledge this is not just a Jackson issue. It's a nationwide problem -- Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit. I sometimes wonder what our nation's founders would think.

1:02 Maybe you were in a hurry and made an erroneous statement that there are more white people in Jackson than in the City of Madison.

Below is a link with 2014/15 data on the population of Madison.
https://suburbanstats.org/population/mississippi/how-many-people-live-in-madison

After reviewing that data I'm not so sure I can even come close to agreeing to your comment regarding this issue.

"Did you really just link to an Infowars article? God help us. "

So why don't you go ahead and refute it if it's so bad? We'll wait.

2:13pm - Jackson population of 172,638 x 18.4% white = 31,766.

Madison city population of 25,304 x 85.5% white = 21,635.

Thanks for playing.

These senseless criminal acts will cease once MAEP is fully funded and McDonald's employees are paid $15/hour.

I'm with 1:31. Until we see more men with dark skin standing up and speaking out loud about "the rot," we will have no real chance to change the culture of violence. We're past racism as the main problem. The main problem is the lack of intestinal fortitude among people of color to take their turn saying "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it any more."

AMEN 4:14! When are there going to be any black leaders that stay and fight this "rot" like the 18% of us that still live in this "city", instead of moving their asses to Madison to be in "safe" (ie: white) neighborhoods?

Guess that's why many of us who still live in Jackson carry a gun.

You know what, people? Everything is not about race. All crime involving people of opposite races are not hate crimes. This particular crime was about two bad apples who made an unfortunate, idiotic choice that resulted in the unfortunate death of the gentleman. Should they be held accountable? Definitely. Stop it with your racist "scare tactics". Your hoods are showing.

No "hood" 4:50. Get out of your dream world and grow up. 25 is a tough year to break out of. Stupid shit it IS about race. They hate us and we don't give a shit about them.

When is the last time, other than the Pearl rednecks, whites attacked blacks in Jackson? Blacks attack whites every day because: 1. They know whites are afraid of them. 2. They think whites have money. 3. they feel "oppressed" because they see the world leaving their sorry asses in the dust, and they strike back. 4. They have no conscience.

Not all blacks for crying out loud, but a much greater percentage than our side of the coin.

Grow up.

To. Some. Blacks. It. Is. About. Race.

what JPD charges does not matter. what matters is what charges the Grand Jury, with advice from the DA, indicts for. it will be capital murder in this case after the Grand Jury acts.

before everyone gets too giddy over JPD making these arrests and securing alleged confessions, lets hope these alleged confessions were properly obtained and videotaped. too often, JPD claims confessions that are neither recorded by audio or videotaped. first district juries are really skeptical about confessions unless they can see them, from rights-warning to the end.

Oh really? So since you are such an expert on motives, then explain the reasons for black on black crime? Since the majority of black victims are indeed victims of black criminals?

Hmm..... maybe criminals don't discriminate but commit crimes where there is perceived opportunity to commit crimes.

it strikes me that the Waffle House at that location is a pretty good venue to find vulnerable victims. white or black. jackals rarely have much of an agenda except to attack...

KF. Black on black crime in this city is most often gang related. Territory issues. Drug debts. Not all, but a large percentage. A large part of the rest is 'family related'. And you know this, so don't try to play with the statistics to argue with the fact of where the black on white crime originates. Yes - it is perceived opportunity - but that opportunity is often about $$$s, and those $$$s are not at the Waffle House on Highway 80.

Another child dreamer at 5:43. You make my point. Thank you.

See "3 and 4" above.

DUH.

Black culture is in a different world than white culture. This is not racist. It is fact.

I responded 5:43, but you are too chicken shit to post it. Get in your shots, then disappear.

Pussy.

5:27 wins comment of the year. They hate us. They raise their children to hate us. No matter how many black friends or adopted children you have, or how much you try to give back to the community, the majority of the population in the City of Jackson hates you simply because you're white. It's going to get much worse before it gets better. I fear for my grandchildren.

Sigh. Search YouTube: Jackson MS gangs. I rest my case.

10:34 - thx, KF. The murders of the black folks just don't make the headlines quite the same way.

People need to smarten up, not the best place to dine. I know, it is not his fault, but I think I would have found a better location to eat, damnit.

6:25. Good. They don't raise hell about it with the murderers like we do. They march. Why does JPD catch these thugs so quickly? From the informers in the black community. They know who to point out. But they never report it beforehand. Keep that uncivilized shit in the hood and leave us ALONE.

6:08. I did. I didn't see any white gangs, just a bunch of hood rats. What's you point?

I'm black. Nobody ever taught me to hate white people. All black people don't sit around the dinner table talking about white people. MOST black people could care less about the color of a person's skin. Crime is about opportunity. If a criminal has the opportunity, he will rob anybody. Money is green and jewelry is gold or silver, and that's all criminals care about. Do you really think a thug cares more about robbing white people than black people? They will rob and kill anybody. Using logic from this site, you would think black people never gets robbed by black criminals. There is more crime committed against blacks by blacks in Jackson than there is blacks against white people in Jackson, but you will rarely see it on this website.

And that is why consciousness blacks leave for the burbs but the unspoken black code is to never speak out for fear of retribution by your community for being the next uncle Tom. It is a damn shame that you fear your own worse than any other ethnicity. Until then black community takes a stand against the violence that emmineats from within itself, it will only get worse. Damn shame.

"These senseless criminal acts will cease once MAEP is fully funded and McDonald's employees are paid $15/hour. "

I though Whole Foods was going to fix all that.

"There is more crime committed against blacks by blacks in Jackson than there is blacks against white people in Jackson, but you will rarely see it on this website."

You should read more. It gets mentioned here frequently. Read today's thread on the Gardot video for examples.

Comepletely agree with you, 10:03. Unfortunately, you are speaking to a group of people that hasn't completely left 1860 yet. These guys live up to the stereotype that people have of southerners. Sad, you would think we would have moved past this point.

White people please stop suggesting that black people are complicit if they do not apologize or speak out against and publicly denounce crimes committed by other black people (you know how you hate when a black person brings up slavery although you have never owned a slave and don't believe you really benefited from it and they certainly have never picked cotton- its kinda like that. You don't think you should be held accountable for what your forefathers did- I feel ya). Those types of beliefs are what drives this nation apart and further stifle race relations. People should not have to take a stance against things that are obviously wrong. Why can't you assume that I am against these activities instead of me having to convince you by telling you how upset I am. Just because you have not seen black protests of black on black crime does not mean that they do not happen. Even here in Jackson, there have been several stop the violence rallies, and prayer vigils just this year. These events happen nationwide. You wouldn't know that though because you either make a conscious effort to ignore it or choose only to focus on the negative and ultimately know nothing about the community of which you speak. Also the media only cares about ratings. The people committing these crimes would just as easily commit them against other blacks if the opportunity presented itself. In fact they do quite often as Kingfish noted earlier black babies and old people are not off limits. They don't give a shit if a black person, white person, or any other color person told them not to. Finally, I second the notion that black people don't sit around the table talking about white people and we are not taught to hate white people.

I worked in a JPS middle school for one year. Many of the teachers were extremely concerned about the lack of consequences for inappropriate behavior. We were told that the district had anger management counselors, social workers, and behavior therapists to help these kids. To my knowledge, these people never stepped foot on our campus. As teachers, we knew that if kids didn't learn consequences and didn't learn a better way to control their emotions-especially at this age since high school graduation rates are so low- then society beware. If you are a taxpayer in Jackson, then please go to JPS board meetings and demand this help in schools. They have the money, they just choose to spend it on consulting firms and creating positions for friends. Alternatively, there were some great organizations like 100 Black Men and Wells Church who were reaching some of our boys. For those of you who want to see change, get involved, there are some wonderful opportunities out there.

JPD didn't insist on viewing the surveillance cameras-Mr. Hambrick's brother did. It was initially considered an accident/medical matter until Eric's brother pushed the WH to review the tape. W2Go JPD? Puhlease

I have been pointing this out for years...the black on white crime that is...I have wondered for years why such reality goes unreported both locally and nationally. And when the local media is forced to half heartily cover a black on white crime it is NEVER, NEVER race related. Does anyone remember Mr. Popachek (sp?) What about Richard Barrett? Another good one is that monster Elliot Culp. Remember him? There is a national epidemic of black on white crime and these animals are getting a pass for some reason.

Um, KF..If one would take a look at the CL this morning and read the story about "The Brother's of the Struggle" AKA The Disciples and their "convention" in Hattiesburg recently may shed some light the forces at work tearing this country apart. From what I hear the mayor of Hattiesburg was all over it providing them a welcome wagon. 13th annual meeting? THIRTEEN? Club Hi-Hat? Club Elite? These fools are not hard to find.....

10:03, 10:25 and 11:24 -- Sadly, I beg to differ. My daughter taught in an inner city school here in Jackson. Elementary. She was the only white teacher in the school. Her students told her on one occasion, that "White people are bad" (btw this happened during the month they were celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King) -- she asked if they thought she was bad, and they stated as a group, "No, but white people are bad people, our parents told us so". She lasted one year. Then left to teach elsewhere. Cannot fight against this mentality, and to pretend it doesn't exist, is sad.

In the 50's and 60's, people acknowledged that racism existed, and there were campaigns against it…………what do we hear from the black community? The equivalent of the fat white sheriff pre-civil rights, who told the black man, "Boy just shut up and sit down."

Also, we own a business. Went to a black county within a few hours drive of Jackson, to propose some business opportunities to one of their councils (by their invitation). First time, we were not acknowledged in a group meeting, and then ask (rather embarrassedly by one man), "to come back another time" (remember we were there by invitation by the way). The second time, we came (By invitation again) to a smaller meeting. No one greeted us in the in the room, no one spoke to us, and finally (without looking at us), the President of that board, told us that "there was no quorum so therefore they couldn't discuss opportunities". The primary person who invited us (a board member) had a previous commitment, but asked if someone in the room, could meet with us and drive us to the locations we were discussing. Not one person volunteered. No one thanked us for driving hours, no one said goodbye even.

Ultimately, two people asked to come to our offices, however, one stayed on his cell phone texting, the entire time. We later received ANOTHER invitation to come speak to them, however, we have made the decision, that we will NOT go back again, not matter how many times we are "invited". These were county leaders …….. so again, I beg to differ that there is no racism in the black community.

We saw it first hand through business and through a school …..you can say what you will, but there are issues, and to not acknowledge them, is complicit in the continued downward spiral of a community, and the indoctrination of a generation of children, that "white people are bad" therefore their lives nor their property, are not important. SAD SAD.

@7:49AM...You are spot on in your well written narrative in regard to the prevailing winds.

How can supporters of limitless funding for public education argue that more money for schools will reduce crime in the long run? Is there a single city or county in the country with solid proof that the amount of money spent on education was able to outweigh the affects of growing up in fatherless homes, run by welfare mothers, in a culture long on sexual promiscuity and short on consequences?

I keep seeing kudos tossed to JPD. I've read nor seen anything (but could have missed it) telling me how and where these perps were apprehended. What did JPD do? Who ratted them out, if anyone? How did they manage to find themselves cuffed? More info please....

You know damned well if JPD had done really good work, Lee Vance would be on television talking about it and penning memos and press releases.

10:36 IS one of those who teaches their kids to hate white folk.

JPD is shocked (as the rest of the civilized world) that 3 young hopeless thugs have savaged an entire community, family and state, with such a senseless act of hate. They will regroup.

We have an entire 3 generations of hopeless animals, preying on the civilized world. Urban terrorism at its worst.

A community and culture in disarray. This article confirms the breakdown has been a multi-generational cycle. If it wasn't so sad, it would be funny.

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2015/06/03/family-that-pushed-for-medal-honor-learns-at-last-moment-that-black-wwi-hero/?intcmp=latestnews

I know Kingfish won't allow this one but here goes:

All of you white folk complaining about crime and the way blacks act should stop blaming us and start blaming yourselves. This is a product of your doing. Through systemic and institutional racism. Now is the man out there with his foot on the neck of every black man trying to hold him down, no! But just because you have 2 out of every 10 blacks that actually make it in life, then you all proclaim that racism is over and dead. you take a few examples of blacks getting jobs and or promotions thru affirmative action and you think it's an epidemic. a lot of this criminal activity and blatant disregard for authority is just the product of the environment. I taught school for a few years, when all a child sees is criminal life all round them and it looks cool and it's what the are exposed to, then what do you think they are going to do? And as far as why blacks have problems with the police, when you have been targeted, harassed, mistreated and watched while your relatives or friends were abused by cops without cause for decades, you get to a point where your mindset is if they are going to mess with anyway I might as well be defiant. Its amazing how whites can argue with police about a ticket or cuss them out get in their face and all they do is get arrested. A black person whether they have committed a crime in the past or not shouldn't have to fear for their life every time they are pulled over.
BTW, throughout history, whites bred us like animals, call us animals and refer to us like animals. You all get mad when some blacks act like animals, but you all treat Real animals better than us.
I'm not about pointing fingers, I'm about people coming together. Now you don't have to like everybody, but be FAIR to everybody. Just because a black man has gold teeth cornrows and sagging pants doesn't mean he's a criminal just like a white guy tatted up and bald is a skin head. Or any one who looks like they are from the middle east wearing a headdress is a terrorist.

3:38 -- Personal Responsibility mean anything to you?

When a black man is elected to the White House, it's hard to stomach this type of tirade any more. Institutional racism --- give me a break. You currently have control of the White House, DOJ, Homeland Security, and Transportation (all major cabinet posts). You are 13% of the population, however of the 15 cabinet posts, you hold 20%. You are currently in powers of position, so don't tell us how "the black man is held down."

Your community is in chaos and we will not apologize any more for your problems. You have laws, you have accessibility to every set-aside program imaginable, the black school districts have more money, and less success than comparable white districts with cronyism and corruption running rampant (ala Atlanta cheating scandal), yet Tyrone cannot read. Your young men (and women) are feral animals, running in packs, taking what they want, and we're supposed to just feel badly for them, put them in "time out" instead of prison, and let them grow to understand consequences when none are present at home, school, or in the judicial system.

This all starts in the home, and unless we're in your home, we cannot make you become a success. It's your problem and your responsibility, not ours. Take charge of yourselves and stop blaming everyone in life -- doesn't "playing a victim" get old after awhile?

THERE'S ANOTHER

3:28 IS (another)one of those who teaches their kids to hate white folk.

The loss of life black, white or otherwise to senseless acts of violence is reprehensible. However, to denigrate an entire race or population is reckless.

So with that being said, for those of you that hate Jackson or minorities stay the fawk out the city. Keep your incestuous inbreeding, pulpit pedophilia, ice and spice consuming pretend pious asses in the areas that protect and indulge your bullshit! If crime is that bad and you've got it so fawking good in the communities in which you reside, take a job at Butler and Snow in Madison with the rest of the neo nazis or work in Pearl at the new Crime  or Veterinary Labs. MOST importantly, keep your Lithium and Ritalin ADAD/ADHD sons out the capital city and your trashy daughters' legs closed to the many the black thugs they enjoy having between them!

And if that doesn't work, vacate the damn state and move north of the Mason Dixon Line to the likes of Maine or Vermont where there's less than 4% black populace and the proclivity for only white-on white murders!

Otherwise, as long as there is...
1. Inadequate and dual systems of education
2. School to Prison Pipelines for minority children i.e., Meridian
3. Jobs (sales) that pay minorities $11.54/hr and lighter pigmented people $15.32/hr

...there will be crime perpetuated against blacks, white and/or otherwise, as poverty isn't faceless, homelessness is a daily realty and animus is seen in the lack of parity of those that have and those that don't!

5:45 -- No problem -- I"ll take my $500k in taxes I paid last year to the Feds, my $132k in State taxes, and my property taxes I paid to the city of Jackson in excess of $12k and move. BTW that doesn't count the jobs I provided and associated taxes and money that flowed into Hinds county and Jackson based on related spending. You figure out how to pay your bills. It is NOT my problem…..or soon will not be.

1. Inadequate and dual systems of education -- we are putting more money into black districts and getting lower test scores. Might want to get your churches and RESPONSIBLE adults involved and clean up your educational systems. I don't think there are any laws out there excluding you from becoming involved and responsible, nor succeeding, or having successful children. I've got way too much to do, to hold your children back! You might want to look in the mirror and see who is handicapping whom. Victimology 101 - you get an A+.

2. School to prison pipelines for minority children -- I taught my kids right from wrong and it didn't costs me a dime. What's your excuse? That white people are rapping too much???

3. Prove it -- if so you have a GREAT federal lawsuit. Somehow I think you're just spewing racist venom. You are the quintiessential victim.

For those that have -- MADE IT. It is not yours to take. You weren't with me when I worked 20 hours per day, out of my home, 7 days per week. You weren't there when I took money from my family to ensure payrolls were made and people's families were fed. NO ONE gave me a special break, rigged the laws for me, or allowed me to make excuses. I would suggest you figure out that I'm not going to give away my hard earned income and what I"ve built, so you can feel good about yourself. Before I do that, I"ll move anywhere but here.

When those of us who "have" as you like to put it, pull the plug on Jackson, what little money you have coming in will be GONE. You figure it out then. Maybe you all need to hit rock bottom. Detroit here you come!!!

BTW -- I applaud Butler Snow -- don't know one person there, but they obviously worked hard to make it to the top of that building.

@ 7:12pm

1. FACT: There is disparity in the amount of general funds provided to schools within the same school district and county. Madison Central and Canton or Warren Central and Vicksburg High.

2. FACT: Minority children are sent to detention and or expelled from school more than their white cohorts. And yes, white people rap too damn much; it's just slower and called Country Music - Florida Georgia Line.
http://www.prb.org/Publications/Articles/2013/race-school-discipline.aspx

3. Why file a law suit? Your judicial system of statutes and laws created by the people and for the protection of only your people! If your such the astounding businessman you profess to be, review your own damn payroll practices? Absolutely certain there are minorities with more education, experience and qualifications that make far less than those of lighter skin tone, blond highlights and a HS diploma.

And lastly, your white privilege was dripping in your humble brag! Again, GTFOHWTBS ��

1. It's called the Education Enhancement Fund which is part of the General Fund you write about.

MS Code 37-61-33 (2) (2) Of the amount deposited into the Education Enhancement Fund, Sixteen Million Dollars ($ 16,000,000.00) shall be appropriated each fiscal year to the State Department of Education to be distributed to all school districts. Such money shall be distributed to all school districts in the proportion that the average daily attendance of each school district bears to the average daily attendance of all school districts within the state.

DAILY ATTENDANCE -- Canton schools have lower attendance rates than Madison Central -- wonder why? Could it be parental involvement, and expectations? Course that's racist if we point out in a predominately black district that kids don't go to school.

2. Your schools to prison pipeline ……… statistics can be skewed and when a school district is more than 86% black (check Meridian Public School District demographics), you will have more students from the black community, ending up in detention, suspension or expulsion. Course math doesn't matter does it?

3. I would strongly suggest you go to another country or continent to see how other black people actually live, and how laws can truly be inequitably applied. I have and it's not pretty. I have a payroll that has blacks and whites. The blacks I hire are educated and have specialized skills, all outside the state of Mississippi. Believe it or not -- my work requires that I have payrolls outside our state…. and what I have found over, and over, and over in Mississippi, with regard to the black population is a grievance, victim based mindset. You, sir, epitomize this. As a black community in Mississippi, you are failing yourselves and each other miserably. I would suggest you stop lashing out, and first admit you have issues. Then fix them. Stop blaming whites and just do the right thing by your children.

Sorry my "white privilege" is showing, however your "black victomology" along with that chip on your shoulder has become YOUR identity.

I'll go to bed now -- I have work to do EARLY tomorrow, and I"m sure you'll spout more nonsense about the evil "privileged" whites. Let me let you in on a little secret……………..we just don't care anymore what you think. Might want to find another cause to promote.

Also -- GTF….whatever…..none of us know or really care what it means. Probably makes you feel better, but just makes all of us think your stupid and arrogant. Not even worth the time to look it up.

"FACT: There is disparity in the amount of general funds provided to schools within the same school district and county. Madison Central and Canton or Warren Central and Vicksburg High."

Are you too stupid to realize Madison School District and Canton School District are separate entities? By mis-using the word "and" in your sentence you attempt to join together two jurisdictions that are totally separate (the school districts). Canton High can deal with their superintendent and board and Madison Central, Germantown and Ridgeland High can deal with their superintendent and board. We get assessed by the school district. As a taxpayer I am pleased with the excellent results the Madison School District is getting, especially from Madison Central, even though I pay additional tuition to send my kids elsewhere. It keeps my property value up. I don't particularly care how poor the outcomes are at Canton High since I was not foolish enough to buy property in Canton.

12:31; Please allow me to point out your foolishness. Your 'not particularly caring how poor the outcomes are at Canton High' is a great example of idiocy.

"I don't care how much shit is upstream since I fish downstream." Does that ring a bell? "I don't care about crime in Holmes and Hinds Counties, or in Canton and Utica since I live in my neighborhood in Madison." Don't you realize those criminals drive into your town every day? Don't you realize the product of Canton schools are the job applicants for Madison jobs and the product you will have as customers, neighbors, business associates, servers, supervisors, cashiers, counter attendants and fellow committee members? Do you really think you live in a protected bubble?

6:41 -- He or she may not live in a protected bubble, but what you're not understanding is we all don't care anymore. No more money. Plenty is being sent to these districts, and if they're not receiving their fair share, get the kids in school, drive up ADA (Average Daily Attendance) and push test scores.

People in those districts need to figure it out. Problem is, those districts want it both ways -- "It's your fault we're failing, but don't ask us about how the money is spent, and why we're producing no results, and by the way, more money would solve the problem so send more money, but don't ask how we're spending it and why we have no results, and………….." Get our point? Probably not!

These men were failures because they chose to be failures. At some point, we're al responsible for our lives. They were, and they chose poorly.

6:41. Quit killing people. Schooling has nothing to do with murder. QUIT KILLING PEOPLE.

The school system can't save the children of Canton Schools. Their parents need to step up, and actually serve the role of parents. And before you ramble anymore about it, my taxes just increased drastically to fund Canton Schools. A school system that I couldn't send my kids to if I wanted, as the black students would harass and likely attack them (it all circles back to black parents.)

8:41 - Thanks. People want to think we are segregating ourselves in the white community. We are now, but based on safety, educational requirements for our children, and goals and values. I refused to let my children spiral down, by putting them in a school system, where they'll be required to acclimate to the lowest standard, rather than succeed and grow. The costs of a private education, in addition to property taxes which support failing schools, is staggering. We had 3 children, so triple the costs.

Black parents step up -- it's not a "white thing" it's a "responsibility thing". You owe this to your children.
