Jackson Jambalaya

Their city? Am I reading that right? This so called respectable organization of the black community is referring to Jackson as 'their' city?

I'm sick and tired as well.

I'm sick and tired of the black youth breaking into my home and the homes of my neighbors.

I'm sick and tired of my neighbors being carjacked by the black youth.

I'm sick and tired of fearing for my wife and children everytime they leave the house, because of what the actions being committed by the black community.

We didn't have any of these problems when it was 'our' city.

What does HNIC mean?

Means the votes and passage of the airport bills are imminent.

BMA request that the city seeks guidance from the state on how to make maintenance contracts become available under professional services.

Translation: Let's find a way to avoid competitive bidding and give the contracts to our friends. In other words, how can we introduce more graft and corruption into Jackson.

This was reading as an attack on Yarber until I saw Soc Garrett's name attached to the bottom.

Head Negro In Charge

Have fun in that business environment. Wow. Glad I don't have to deal with that city for one damn thing.

@1:47 Head *Negro* In Charge.

I can't believe they used that, but yeah.

Maybe if the black owned companies could compete with the companies owned by other races they might get some contracts.
Maybe if the black elected officials would do less pocket lining the city streets would be in better shape.

HNIC = Head N***** In Charge. What I want to know is what is an "outline community"?

I thought Jackson had a purchasing policy that discriminated against white businesses unless they paid a finders fee to a black person. Of course the fee is added to the price and then the person receiving it "spreads it around".

Allow me to interpret jive for you, 2:54: "Outline Community" means that community of citizens from which, upon entry into "their city," come victims of violent crime whose end is a chalk outline.

If, Socrates Garrett is in the mix ,, I bet there is a hook in it.. In my opinion.

I can hear the last of the tax base loading their card!

@4:12 PM +1000

Oh my god. Someone please buy my house so I can sever my last tie to this city.

What black official in their right mind would sign off on such a statement and then ask the state with a straight face for financial assistance?

Is this a "put-on" thing? I never heard of this group.

After reading this crap, Continental may seriously want to consider a location other than Hinds County. Can you blame them?

Business Ministerial Alliance was established 10/12/15. This is ONLY about the tire plant.

I heard one of these guys speaking to a NE Jackson business leader and a jackson resident. It was one of the members of the speed family in fact. The Black Ministerial leader wad telling the white residents that are the tax base largely that the MA is against any all black or all white boards or panels. The letter was to invoke the waters of jackson such as ward 3 or AKA kenniff Stokes dstrict. Kingfish I sure hope you question these guys about the intent of this letter.

Really sounds like a bunch of kids that got what they wanted then found out that real life is different than a fantasy.
They blame the republicans and white people for all of the problems in Jackson. Somehow they forget they are the people who elected the people that are supposed to lead the city.
You made the mess. It isn't up to people in other cities to clean it up for you.

Just plain stupid.

Let me interpret this release for all of you. You have to read way between the lines to know it says my name is Socrates Garrett and I am pissed that I can not get four votes on the Jackson city council, three votes on the Hinds county board of supervisors or three votes on the airport authority unless I submit an honest low bid. As much money as I put into the Yarber campaign I should get ALL of the city business I want. I have Yarber in my back pocket but the city council keeps thwarting me. Yarber should be the HNIC and be able to give me all the city business I want, which is ALL the city business, for my financial support of his campaign. Somehow those ignorant city councilors do not understand this. They foolishly think they have the right to question and not accept my bids just because they do not think my bids are in the best interests of the people of Jackson.

The JMAA is dominated by Lumumba appointees who have the same sickness as the Jackson city councilors. They also think they should award contracts based on what is best for airport and the people of Jackson. Don't they know that contracts should be awarded based on what is best for ME! I know I tried to defeat some of the current members of the Hinds count board of supervisors but they should have been defeated. They also have refused to give me all the contracts I want.

Making maintenance contracts available under personal services will allow Tony to give me everything I want and do away with having to go before the council for approval. All of you have to remember that everything is about ME! I control BMA as you can see it is headquartered out of my office.

Hopefully now all you readers will understand exactly what the BMA statement was actually saying.

12:38, thanks, I can understand that much better than the original bull manure.

Business Ministerial is an oxymoron.

When you understand that religion is BIG business here, then you'll start to see that it's not an oxymoron. That's not to say that all are guilty of treating the church offering plates like a hot stock, but there are far too many snake oil salesman at the pulpit (tax exempt, may I add).

Religion, specifically Christianty, is a micro economy unto itself not to mention other Org. Religions.

A church with wods of cash or lack there of does not a true faith make.

@ 3:10 PM. 100% agree. What other business can convince and/or guilt the poorest of the poor to give a percentage of their income?

7:58, guilting the poor to give a percentage is bad but one thing is worse. Those who take the money are usually much better off than those who give and still have their hand out.
