Jackson Jambalaya

Did that stupid piece of shit at the end really suggest that if the wastewater treatment plant were regionalized, it would be comparable to slavery? And that it is all part of some master plan to get rid of "them", including possibly using the plant to poison the citizens of Jackson? *sigh* I hope Jackson burns to the fucking ground.

Interestingly, this proposed Hinds couty wastewater district is one of the smartest things Jackson has dreamed up. Jackson is losing all of Rankin county as a customer and here comes Byram, Terry and southern rural Hinds County offering to send Jackson their business and offering to PAY for it.

I wouldn't expect Enoch to get that, but glad the counsil does.

Wow, I wonder who gave all these people such incorrect information. Jackson owns and runs the treatment plant. This proposed wastewater district simply creates customers for Jackson, it doesn't take anything from Jackson.

Strange things get alleged during election season. Too bad so many people are so gullible to believe this stuff.

"return to slavery" good grief

all of the participating towns and rural areas are majority black. this is no longer about black and white. these folks hate the blacks that moved out too. and they hate anybody trying to help them.

Are you surprised? Antar Lumumba supporter.

Gotta love Enoch! The story never changes. He's no crazier now than he was years ago, believe it or not!

So, they want Rankin County's wastewater but not Hinds County's wastewater. Makes perfect sense.

@9:13 my sentiments EXACTLY

I once saw this guy on public access complaining about Martin Luther King Day being in January because that was a cold month and Africa is a hot continent. I'm not making that up.

There comes a point where you just mark a person as an imbecile or as a kook or both. Sanders passed that point a long time ago. I'm sure, however, that he plays into the NYC Malcolm X Center's plans to build Jackson into a "human rights city" under Antar.

Didn't Stokes try to nominate Sanders for a city office or something a few years ago?

So dumb....they all have it backwards. Why won't someone please correct them?

9:13 - So you hope the whole city burns because of this guy's rant? So aren't you of the same mindset as Mr. Sanders? *double sigh*

Puffing on that herb 24/7 will do that to you!

Take a drink and accept it for what it is. Anytime you mount T.V. cameras in a public forum in a place like Jackson you will get an inevitable lineup of certain people who just want attention. Some are past help, like Enoch, and some, are just beaten down and want to be heard. Most of the time, it's pure emotion and little constructive substance, but they got their moment of public attention and that's better than resorting to violence.

@11:11 I actually didn't get too upset about Mr. Sanders' rant. I was referring solely to the second speaker. You know, the one that said the regionalization of the wastewater plant was a way for "us" to poison "them" and that it was equivalent to slavery. And no, this isn't the straw that broke the camel's back as far as my desire to see this city leveled. When a city is so irreparably broken, the only way to save it is to wipe it clean and rebuild on the ashes.

Now we know who the waste in wastewater are

He obviously suffers from delusional psychosis, like every other liberal fucking idiot in the world

What's inside that hat thing? Laundry? Weed? A Manifesto? Kenny Stokes' Push-Cards? Extra Socks? Back Issues of Psychology Today?

Why is it when they "my people" it's ok but when we say "your people" they throw that race card. Hell we're just quoting y'all !!!

I really hope that, at least, some of you on this blog are intelligent enough to know that this fool IS NOT the voice of black people in Jackson. Don't try to paint all black people like this, on a general basis. That shows supreme ignorance. I'm black, and my entire family still lives here. Been here since 1941! I haven't given up on Jackson. And no, it won't burn to the ground, as one of the earlier posters hopes it will! **Wait on it**

Never have thought that.

Wake up Jackson, This was a great city once and I mean can we try some outside the box thinking. Please its not working we have twenty people running for mayor and none I repeat none of them will be successful. T this mess has gone on for too long yes maybe 14 16 years ago Jackson could have cleaned up their own problems but its too far gone. Let the state fix it let some tax base move back in and then turn it back over to Jackson. Wake up Jackson we are past circling the drain. Lets try something yes. All this bunch can do is name streets can we at lease pass a resolution before we name a street we have to pave it we could even name the resolution after stokes.
