Jackson Jambalaya

No mention of "whites"
Chowke must be a racist !

The Big Payback? Isn't that a James Brown song?

Democratic Socialist of America NYC..........

Should be an interesting campaign finance report comin up. Wait, that's right, that law is not enforced at the local level.

With 95% of the elected officials in Jackson and Hinds county being black how much "power is there left to take back? The "power" they want is to fatten their own pocketbooks and those of their cronies. Granted it's not a lot different from many white politicians but it is overt racism.

Antar is the Donna Ladd of the black community - a civil rights poseur who's never actually done a damned thing or taken any real risks. He's riding his daddy's coattails.

Does the title of the event sound like hate speech to anyone else?

Democratic Socialist of America NYC?

Wow. There a surprise.

Let delete the use of the plural form to throw the capitalist off.

Socialism will not work in Jackson. You cannot take from the poor and oppressed and give it the poorer and more oppressed.

WTF is a Jackson Mayoral candidate fundraising in Harlem for? If you cant see this is purely about race, you are blind. This about furthering his and his dads agenda and nothing more. This clown doesn't care about Jackson, he cares about his race and his agenda.

THIS POSTED ON THE EVENT PAGE OF SPONSORS:

This April 7th at 8PM Jackson, Mississippi Mayoral Candidate Chokwe Antar Lumumba will come to the Malcolm X and Dr. Betty Shabaaz Center Center in Harlem, NY.

Antar Lumumba is the son of Chokwe Lumumba Sr. the late mayor of Jackson. Antar Lumumba's mayoral campaign is one of the three pillars of the Malcolm X Grass Roots Movement political program articulated in their famous Jackson Kush Plan.

The JKS Plan stands out as an extremely important piece of our shared struggle for racial justice in America. The plan's balance between protest, economic development and electoral organizing is unparalleled in its holistic path to power.

Antar Lumumba's campaign needs our help to realize this vision. Now more then ever we need a victory that takes real power back for Black and Brown communities and away from the gang of white supremacists controlling our government.

Please come to support, make a donation to the campaign, invite a friend and dance at a important and powerful event. lumumbaformayor.com

Unknown to most Jacksonians Chokwe Lumumba put this guy on the City payroll. This is the account of Antar's puppet master:

This publication is the first insider account of the Lumumba Administration. Kali Akuno, the author of this study, served as the coordinator of Special Projects and External Funding [Note: External Funding = Redistribution from Jackson treasury] for the late Mayor Chokwe Lumumba. He also is the co-founder and director of Cooperation Jackson as well as an organizer with the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement. In this piece, Akuno provides a critical history of the work done in Jackson in recent years, marrying these efforts to a future vision for the Jackson-Kush Plan to transform life in Jackson and beyond. For the target is clear: to turn around the State of Mississippi.

@ April 12, 2017 at 8:05 AM - "Democratic Socialist of America NYC......"

A Mississippian trying to crack on NYC, is like Sugar Bear cracking on Brad Pitt and the quality of women he's slept with!? GTFOH

Even per capita NYC has less crime than Mississippi???? And they have 10 million residents!?

Better roads
Kids have access to better education and they still have major segregated communities
Unemployment is low
Two airports
2 football teams
2 baseball teams
Hell - those som'itches even have NASCAR racing and Mississippi probably has one of the largest NASCAR fan bases - we can't even get a whiff of a NASCAR race in our own backyard

We have a lot of idiots in this state!

If a white candidate for Mayor did this and approved a campaign flyer saying "Please come to this important and powerful event to help support this mayoral campaign that takes real power back for WHITE communities", the Jackson Free Press and Clarion Ledger would be all over that white candidate screaming racism and how despicable it is. But if Antar or any other African American candidate does it, silence, not a peep, no problem with that racist behavior at all. Hypocrisy at its finest.

You'll be voting to return Chokwe's coterie of sycophants and Detroit rejects like Kwame Kenyatta to City Hall. Chokwe could manage them to some extent, BabyChok can't.

The question for any Antar Lumumba black power supporter is why does your candidate live in a controlled gated neighborhood in NEJackson?

Clint Eastwood said it best in the movie Gran Torino, "What a load of shit!"

These names have more vowels that one can buy on Wheel of Fortune. Like their mothers took all the Scrabble tiles and threw them against the wall, somewhat straightened them up, then gave them that name.

The Big Paycheck is more like it. Jackson's black "leadership" and its blatantly racist agenda is driving out the tax-paying whites. I guess that's okay with the racists as long as their "entitlement" monies keep flowing in and/or they can criminally prey on whites to obtain money and goods that they refuse to work for. God help us.

Puppet Master Akuno:

This experiment [Jackson-Kush Plan] is premised on building a radical culture of participatory democratic engagement to gain control over the “authoritative” functions of governance, and to democratize the fundamental means of production, distribution, and financial exchange.

I'm waiting (but not holding my breath) for the Clarion-Ledger to jump on this. I'm sure Jerry Mitchell and Jimmy Gates are working jointly on a story at this very moment. Don't you think?

Puppet Master Akuno contradicts De'Keither Stamps:

The second issue was the passage of an ordinance against racial profiling. This ordinance was intentionally designed to address two related issues: the proposed adoption of policing strategies that would further criminalize and imprison Black people; and other xenophobic measures that were being proposed on a municipal and state level to detain and deport undocumented immigrants.

Meaning Jackson as a defacto sanctuary city.

I did not know that White Supremacists control Jackson. Maybe they can establish the Republic of New Africa.

@ April 12, 2017 at 9:01 AM

Because he is nothing like his father.

Say what you may about Chokwe, he really did give a damn about the poor and disenfranchised. He wasn't all talk like Stokes and Melton

He fed the homeless, he counseled to young men caught up in a life of crime, he did a lot of pro bono work for people that couldn't afford an attorney

He walked the walk

he may have disagreed with Phil Bryant - but he wasn't too proud to get on the phone and tell the man, "I will need your help turning this city around, can I hold you accountable?"

A true community activist that got into politics with a selfless mindset, he wanted to turn this city around.

His son benefited from his father's name and now he's living the American dream in a gated community, with his eyes on power and wealth. He's not following the Chokwe political playbook. He's following the Trump political playbook.

So who is everyone voting for? The racist with no business experience or the pervert with no business experience?

KF - when do the local campaign finance reports get released?

He can't do any worse than Yarber...

John Horhn

Says it all that Antar changed al his signs to run under the name Chokwe. Half the people voting won't know Chokwe died...

Lumumba actually flaunts his racist driven agenda. That's a lot of arrogance. Surely there are enough people in Jackson that can see through this racist.

SIMPLE SOLUTION - VOTE JOHN HORHN

Surely there are enough people in Jackson that can see through this racist.

No......there are not.

10:00am says "Lumumba actually flaunts his racist driven agenda. That's a lot of arrogance. Surely there are enough people in Jackson that can see through this racist."

Trump actually flaunts his racist driven agenda. That's a lot of arrogance. Surely there are enough people in the USA that can see through this racist.

See where that got us...

He can't do any worse than Yarber

Oh, yes he can. Just wait.

Say what you will about Yarber, but he hasn't governed from a "get even" POV. For an example of getting even (also known as payback), look to Tomie Green or Winston Kidd or Kenny Stokes. Now imagine the city in the hands of a race hustler in a suit.

This is going to be bad.

How about our Governor belonging to the Sons of Confederate Veterans? They are considered a hate group.

Soon there will be nothing left to steal, no one left to paid taxes and and the water undrinkable.If you still live or work in Jackson and have anything of value , get out now.I hope your life is of value.

Robert Graham would be the sensible choice

Priester would have been a good choice too

I said it before and I'll say it again. Antar is going to use Donald Trump's victory, especially his Mississippi victory, as a reason to vote him in.

And the people will fall for it.

Just look at PittPanther's comment for a perfect example. Or listen to Kenny Stokes' radio ad about how "sittin' on yo rump" gives you Donald Trump.

Did a JPS ninth grader draw that beard on the face in the photograph? Nobody grows facial hair like that.

'A holistic path to power' indeed.

Holistic, in this case could only mean, "Body, mind, spirit, legal, illegal, acceptable, unacceptable, violative of societal norms, peaceful, anarchistic, pleasing to Allah (these people DID take Muslim names),using any manner and means possible to achieve power". Why else do you think the word holistic was chosen for the slogan?

I don't think the return of United Airlines to Jackson International could handle the white flight coming out of Jackson with a Baby Chok win.

I am suspect of a dude that shaves the upper half of his stache.

Never trust em.

The anger in his eyes coupled with the phrase "The Big Payback" ought to let everyone know what we are in for.

This guy is neither a bridge builder nor a consensus seeker. He's a driven polemicist and he's getting in bed with people in other parts of the country who do not have this city's best interest at heart.

I'm certain the Malcolm X and Betty Shabazz center (misspelled on the poster, BTW) has the repair of Jackson's infrastructure and the economic growth of the city as its chief aim.

@8:52am Did you even read the flyer and the comment you accuse of "cracking on" NYC? One of the sponsors of this event is listed as Democratic Socialist of America NYC. The poster was saying "what a surprise that Antar would be accepting money from an openly socialist organization". How you took that as an attack on New York City is befuddling.

We have a lot of idiots in this state!

Yes, we do.

Dear, all I heard during this last debacle and sham of an election was we want "our" country back, or let's take America back! That's ALL I heard. Take America back from whom? Yep. The HYPOCRISY is deep.

Let me let you all KNOW something. The informed black electorate, if they get off their apathetic butts, won't vote for this candidate. At this point however, Jackson is but a microcosm of what's happening on the national level with such a dismal field of candidates to select from! I feel Donald Trump was just as much as a race "baiter", and any other demographic that didn't look like him, he demeaned and ostracized. This current administration has far outspent Obama already, not even 100 days yet, this administration has already proven to be most unintelligent, ineffective in any REAL matters, bombing Syria, for show, no real foreign or domestic pathways to help the American people, I can go on and on. And you think Jackson's infrastructure is crap, this entire nation is on the brink, but we all KNOW the REAL reason people voted for such incompetence that they would have NEVER accepted in a black candidate. We know. Keep telling yourselves different.

Since his father's REAL name was Edwin Finley Taliaferro (his dad was Italian and his mom black), does that make junior Edwin Finley Taliaferro, Jr.?

Don't believe it? Look it up on wikipedia.

One huge thing the Trump election has done is to embolden those would- be radical political candidates to lay their cards on the table without regard to political correctness. Hence you get openly socialist zealots who don't have to hide their affiliations any more. Any curious voter can obtain all the information he needs on Antar's ultimate agenda, if they care enough to ask. If you get blindsided, it's your own damn fault. His father was masterful at reassuring nervous private business people that his radical associates would not co-opt the financial base of central Mississippi for a socialist experiment. Antar has no experience doing that, and probably no intention to do so. Jackson, a city on life support, may become the latest guinea pig for the far-left political and economic experiments the rest of the country cannot afford to try. If you live outside the area it could be interesting, if you live in Jackson, it could be terrifying. Stay tuned.

My concern with Antar wouldn't be his "leftist-socialist" agenda

it's the fact that he has his eyes on bigger prizes, the Mayor's office would just be a stepping stone.

Considering that - he wouldn't do anything that was experimental or far reaching to jeopardize a chance to get Benny's seat in congress.

Whoever the next mayor is - the Capitol Complex bill is going to give them some major help on re-focusing the city's resources to make major repairs to sewer lines and roads. That's a can't miss opportunity.

Tony missed that opportunity with whoring around town.

The legislature did a lot of stupid stuff this last session, but the Capitol Complex is going to do major wonders for the metro area. Let's just hope the rest of the municipalities do what's right in updating their part that's connected to the contiguous area.

... the Capitol Complex is going to do major wonders for the metro area. Let's just hope the rest of the municipalities do what's right in updating their part that's connected to the contiguous area.

You have no clue, ZERO, as to what you are talking about.

Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung

So, Babychok is financed by Leftist-Globalists based in Germany (and White)? Makes sense.


9:42 - Babychok ran for office and followed a political handbook before the current president ever considered running, much less started his political career. Get a calendar, unless they're constructs of, how you say it? White supremacy? Oh, and did Babychok ever work in the private sector?


Pitt, that 'r' word you (and others) are throwing around was invented by a Russian-born Jewish Communist named Leon Trotsky. It's sole purpose was to divide people. It seems to be working.


10:37 - the people who "define hate groups" don't acknowledge the hate from the Left. That would run counter to their agenda. How can you take their word if it doesn't cover all sides?


11:17 - Oh, my, that sham of an election - again. You're talking about dead folks in Chicago who've been voting Democrat for decades, right? Or the precincts in Philadelphia and Cleveland with 100% turnout, right? Right??
As for the slogan you mention, Bill Clinton used the same thing in 1992 on several occasions. It's on the Youtubes, so get to it.


My lunch at my desk is over but you Donners out there try not cut yourself today, awright? I have to get back to work.

I think he is a Joke and he cant live off his dad's name, He can't make a name for him self. why does he have to go to New York for money? He cant get money from his home town Jackson,Ms is he not liked that much there. And can someone please tell me what is the (KUSH) Plan where Im from kush is weed ijs. I think that Graham would be the best man for the job and if you dont like it O WELL.....

I'm voting for the doughnut guy.

11:17, yes the hypocrisy is deep, and you just showed yours again.

First, as someone above noted, your beloved Bill Clinton used the exact same slogans, Take America Back and Make America Great Again, throughout his campaign. It's ok for him to use it but not anyone else ? I'll ask you the same question you asked, who did Clinton want to take America back from ?

Second, I didn't vote for Trump. That said, you interpreted his slogan Take America Back to be racist and meaning he wants to take it back from African Americans ? I, on the other hand, heard it to mean take it back from the greedy politicians (i.e. his other slogan to "drain the swamp") and the corporate CEO types and Wall Streeters who were/are controlling everything.

But regardless, Trump got called out over and over by the media for his supposed racist comments or actions. Have you read a peep about Antar's ? Again, there's your hypocrisy showing up, it's ok to call Trump on him racist acts but not Antar ?

10:24 You are wrong. If Trump talked like Lumumba he would not be president. You are not that naïve. You may be that stupid but not that naïve. You can sell that in parts of Jackson but not on the world wide web.

Powder keg, meet spark.

L@@k at all these snowflakes melting down, if this country can survive drumpf, then Jackson will be just fine with or without you all's great assistance. Keep voting for these goopers that keep you bent over, broke, and in last place lord knows none of have the gall to challenge the real powers that be within your own community, keep drinking on that yellow trickle, of pittance...you are the reason the state is last in everything negative, own it.

Sweetheart, there is a difference between someone who sees and acknowledges a real threat to his community and someone who can't handle anyone challenging or disrupting what they have been told to believe. The latter is what is meant by "snowflake", not the former, and it doesn't apply to people who have dealt with and come through adversity. Rather, you should apply it to your little generation of navel gazers, who build walls and safe spaces and do everything to keep any semblance of dissent away.

You know what I mean, right pumpkin? Mommy and Daddy told you that you were special and unique and, dammit, you believed it! So you go watch John Oliver (now that Jon Stewart isn't around to tell you how to think) and you really believe that you are smarter and better than everyone when you use "Drumpf" to describe the commander in chief. You believe that chanting NOT MY PRESIDENT! on the campus quad actually counts, and that if you, Mr. Special, don't accept him, that means he isn't the president.

Pookie, I know it's hard to hear, but the world is tough and you mean dick to it. Watching a scripted comedy show does not make you clever or original or smart, and using the same "zingers" as all your peers cements you into the fact that you are no different than they, even though you believe you are.

But don't worry. I'm sure the campus Student Center for Social Justice has a safe room with coloring books and soap bubbles and a blankey for you to cuddle up with. And keep believing that Antar is your friend, Whitey. He and all the people at the Harlem Malcolm X Center are counting on that.

10:37 --

I am NOT a member of the SCV (though I qualify.)

You may consider them a hate group, but not even the mewling, liberal p*ssies at the ridiculously named SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW CENTER considers them as such. I think SPLC calls Chik-Fil-A a hate group, for believing a marriage means one man and one woman. If that gives you some perspective.

For the record, I think Mississippi should probably change its flag. But if you think a historically-based orginization of men who like to talk and write about their shared Southern heritage is some threatening "hate group," then you need to find a safe space and a therapy dog or something.

Ultimately, though, you're engaging in moral equivalence, so let's do a side-by-side comparison.

One group wants ALL members of a race removed from certain portions of Mississippi, the boundaries of which it will arbitrarily and unilaterally draw. Oh, that group will also forcibly redistribute private income as it sees fit.

The other gets together occasionally to talk about the 11th Mississippi under Barksdale at Gettysburg, & wonders aloud what might have been had A.S. Johnston not been mortally wounded at Shiloh.

Tell me which one strikes you as dangerous.

3:24--

Golf clap, sir.

There's nothing more fun than mocking white-guilters who curry favor from the Stokeses,Lumumbas and Keith Ellisons of the world.

Paul Wellstone -- were his communist ass still alive -- would beam with pride.

Talk about a totally uninformed (that means ignorant) poster who said....

"How about our Governor belonging to the Sons of Confederate Veterans? They are considered a hate group. April 12, 2017 at 10:37 AM"

If you've ever attended a meeting you know that to be untrue. If you've ever read their creed, you know that to be untrue. I've attended hundreds of their meetings and never once heard racist comments, speeches, presentations or suggestions.

Now if you really had a sincere interest in studying a 'hate group', you'd involve your research with the NAACP.

Wonder what Attorney Meredith Coxwell's clients will think when they find out he is supporting a radical racist? Things that make you go hmmmm😏

As a co-organizer of the NYC Fundraiser and a White person, I can assure you that the NYC Fundraiser was not and never intended to promote racial division. Furthermore, it should be noted that Chokwe Antar Lumumba was not aware of the flyer until it was brought to his attention after the event. To be clear, the fundraiser was designed to support and uplift the need and desire to see the development of a human rights city that respects the needs of all people. When we lift all communities including Black and Brown Communities we also lift ourselves and our White communities and other cultural communities. Together we will all create better government. #IStandWithAntar #Lumumbaformayor

"Take the power back"

Uhhh Jackson has the highest or second highest percentage of African-Americans for US cities with at least 100,000 people. So who has the power exactly?

A large percentage of the white people in Jackson are probably moderates linked to UMC, Millsaps, MC Law, Belhaven, or are just white Mississippians living in the state's biggest city that aren't racist. They probably have endured more bs, because of their skin tone than most of Jackson's blacks under the age of 60.

Does this mean Antar wants/will let the white area of town become its own city? Imagine Jackson without Belhaven, Fondren, Eastover, and Downtown.

Antar isn't smart enough to attend schools of higher education in Jackson, but he thinks hes smart enough to run the city, and it's not like he has manners, personality, or work ethic to make up for it.

... I can assure you that the NYC Fundraiser was not and never intended to promote racial division.

The candidate's inner circle openly promotes racial divisions so your intentions don't amount to much, if anything, at all.

By the way, who put you in charge of representing the "Brown" community?

Wonder if the Clarion Liar will report this with as much zeal asthe governor's support of confederate month? Racism has no true color.

The CL will show their true colors if they don't report it. Does anyone really think they would be quiet if a white mayoral candidate (WHO WAS LEADING IN THE RECENT POLLS) was seeking support from the sons of the confederacy? Come on Jerry, Jimmie and Anna…do the right thing. By the way, you loved the Yarber fundraiser scandal in Atlanta. Their silence will be truly inexplicably. Period.

I just new that the rednecks would support their cc educated brothers, you never let me down. The south lost and it's being repopulated by blacks who left in the 60's. You will be the new minority before you know it!!

2:38...you give yourself away with use of the phrase 'you all'. Sadly you never learned the art of proper sentence structure and use of bothersome stuff like commas. JPS much?

Speaking of 'educated',10:35, since you use new for knew, should you not also conclude with 'before you no it'?

I wish that only constituents in the city, county, state and nation could make campaign contributions to a candidate who will represent them.
So, I don't like New Yorkers ( liberal, conservative or wings of either) involved in our mayoral race.
I also don't like that the Koch brothers and Texans and South Carolinians have tried to mess with our politics either.
I don't like that the Russians paid money to influence our national election either.
None of these outside groups know jack about us or the issues facing us and don't give a rat's behind either.
Not so long ago, you couldn't get state party money, much less , out of state money to support a local candidate.
And, we let this happen. It happened right under our noses because we let slick campaign tactics obscure the issues. We like slogans and " alternative facts" and to be told what we want to hear instead of what we need to know. We put likability over competence.

Don't get thrown off with the politics, 'just get out and vote for who you think would benefit your well being".

To "well I guess it would be called my life" at 5:34pm, perhaps you can answer a few questions:

If the fundraiser was "never intended to promote racial division", then explain the title "The Big Payback", or the line about "[taking] real power back for Black and Brown communities". In what universe are those phrases not divisive?

What, specifically, is the "payback"?

From whom will Lumumba be taking back real power? The obvious inference is from white people, as they are explicitly omitted and are the well-known object of ire for the disciples of Malcolm X and Betty Shabazz, as well as Lumumba's father. But as mentioned several times here, Jackson is 80% black and has had black mayors for 20 years, so what real power is there to "take back"?

Why were white communities EXPRESSLY omitted from mention here? One would assume that a "human rights city" (whatever that is) would buttress the rights for ALL people, regardless of their color, but your fundraiser flyer makes no direct mention of the minority population of the city. In fact, it sounds disturbingly like all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.

Since "Chokwe Antar Lumumba was not aware of the flyer until it was brought to his attention after the event", has he denounced the verbiage within? Can you direct me to a link where Lumumba has made a statement that the incredibly divisive content of that flyer is not what he stands for? One assumes, as you made the comment, that Lumumba disagrees with it, so why hasn't he said so?

Was there any discussion of the real problems facing the city of Jackson that have nothing to do with taking back real power, building a human rights city, or getting payback? I refer to water and sewer problems, roads and bridges that are in disrepair, and budgetary issues that have crippled the city. These affect black and brown communities disproportionately in a city where they are 80% of the population. Did your Big Payback Rally discuss such things, or did you simply dwell upon taking back real power?

Did Lumumba speak, and if so, is there a transcript? Or would you and your organizers prefer not to share the uncensored comments of the evening with the people who actually live and work in the city whose mayoral election you are attempting to influence?

Should I expect answers?

Sherman, set the way back machine to 2013 when the elder Lumumba was squaring off against Jonathan Lee (remember him?) for the mayoral race of Jackson.

A day or two before the polling, signs appeared around the metro that said, "Vote Tuesday, May 21. The future of Jackson depends on it." No mention of race, candidate, party, ideology - just a simple get out the vote effort.

But not to Donna Ladd and Tom Head! They saw a white conspiracy to undermine the Lumumba campaign and to get white people to vote (presumably) against Chokwe.

They claimed that the signs were only appearing in Fondren, NE Jackson, and Belhaven (never mind that they were also placed around Metrocenter, Jackson State, and Van Winkle) and that those behind them were sending code messages, telling their white brethren to pull a lever for Lee.

Have either of these stalwart watchdogs complained about the obviously divisive language on this poster, or that black and brown people in New York are trying to influence an election to payback whitey? This isn't tacit, it's front and center.

I wouldn't expect anything from them. Par for the course.

Thank you, 8:32am.

5:34pm or "well I guess it would be called my life".... I have the same question if you would please answer....this flyer is without a doubt incredibly racially charged and divisive. Has Antar spoken out against it or said he disagrees with it ? If so, where ? If not, why not ? I agree with you that Jackson would be better off if we, black and white citizens, would just work together for the common good. But it's hard to believe Antar will do that when he has a flyer for one of his fundraisers this racially divisive and doesn't speak out against it.

A VOTE FOR HORHN IS A VOTE FOR ANTAR LUMUMBA, JOHN CAN NOT GET ENOUGH BLACK VOTES TO BEAT LUMUMBA..
PLEASE VOTE Robert Graham for mayor. A VOTE FOR HORHN IS A VOTE FOR LUMUMBA..

That's the solution. Heat up whitey, add some chocolate and smash them between (Robert) Graham "crackers".

Seriously, 11:55? Where'd you steal that tired campaign tactic? A vote for Horhn is a vote for Horhn!

Lumumba vs Lee raced proved that anyone that cant get 40 of black vote can not beat Lumumuba. GRAHAM IS THE ONLY PERSON CAN BEAT ANTAR...
WITH BENNIE THOMPSON AND SOCRATESE SUPPORTING HORHN, NO WAY HE CAN WIN...

Lumumba vs Lee raced proved that anyone that cant get 40 of black vote can not beat Lumumuba.

Couldn't beat Chokwe. That election proved nothing relative to BabyChok.

I'll try again

My name is Andrew Smith. I'm white. I'm a carpenter by trade and a human rights organizer when I get time off. I organized the fundraiser because I deeply respect the vision of Chokwe Antar Lumumba and have a deep trust in the rest of the Lumumba family to enact human rights reforms that help ALL people, no matter what race.

I feel bad that the phrasing of the flier could me misconstrued in this way. One of the goals of the fundraiser was to promote racial unity and did not intend to create division. It also seems important to add that the campaign didn't design the flier. In fact a graphic designer who is part of my organizer did it. We should have done a better job checking with the Lumumba campaign about using that language, and I'm truly sorry if it offended folks in Jackson, that was not my intention. In fact I held this fundraiser for the people of Jackson. I know that Antar Lumumba will benefit everyone in Jackson. His father comes from the same proud background of racial justice work and when he became mayor immediately began working and cooperating with all people of all races, even ones who had tried to stop his campaign from succeeding. Antar I am sure will do the same.

Thank you for your biography. Now would you mind directing the people of Jackson, for whom you held this fundraiser, to a transcript of Antar's speech so that we may decide for ourselves if he will benefit everyone in Jackson?

Or, are Antar's remarks better unshared with those whom he proposes to govern?

If lee couldnt get black vote, then Horhn cant. They supported by same people. Downtown partne..

1:13, if you can spell and type, you really shouldn't.
And if I have deciphered correctly what you were attempting to get out, you are misinformed.

@11:55, "Antar I am sure will do the same."
NO. His own father would tell you that. He is not the same man. No where near. It seems that you have gotten involved where you have no business.

Is 11:55 "real?"

A carpenter by trade and a human rights organizer on the side comments on a Good Friday of an Easter Weekend the day before North Korea might test a nuclear weapon in the presence of a U.S. Naval armada off the coast of Japan? Real enough for me!
