Jackson Jambalaya

Where's the link?

The dignitaries in the private presidential audience will likely be donors to the museum. Is that 'A List' a public record?

Those who really struggled and sometimes died in the cause of civil and human rights envisioned the day when the Governor of the state of Mississippi and the President of the United States would feel compelled or at least obligated to acknowledge the fellowship of mankind and the quest for justice. No one can dictate what is in another man's heart but we can expect and demand a certain level of appreciation for his office. Trump may be a buffoon, an egotist, a liar, and an incendiary, but this was a presidential act and that is his job. Others may protest, bitch and moan, to no avail.

6:53:

I am guessing the President is no more a buffoon, an egotist, and liar than you are... and probably a fair amount less.

What is wrong with your Mayor of Jackson, Mississippi??? Total Embarrassment to Jackson, Mississippi.

6:53, I voted against Trump but I will concede that Obama was much more of buffoon, an egotist, a liar, and an incendiary than Donald Trump. The difference between the perception of the two is a media that has lost its way.

This morning's Clarion does a fair job of covering the malcontents, the no-shows, the protesters and those who would benefit from discord. Exactly as anticipated.

The protests were paltry and that is being generous.

Our local Obama, Lumumba, whines because he wouldn't have been afforded a speaking slot. He's a big man who supposedly can work with Bryant but not big enough to be in merely the same room as the freaking President of the United States.

By the way Chokwe, I haven't received one damn water bill since the day you took the oath of office and I ain't proactively paying no bills I haven't received.

#EmptySuit

Hiz honor Chokwe demonstrated the absolute folly of his "leadership" yesterday. He made a symbolic gesture that amounts to absolutely nothing when he might have taken an opportunity to advance the cause of his suffering city. Whether you agree with Trumps's policies or not, he's still got the presidential levers of power, and he might have someday seen fit to help little ole Jackson, Mississippi. Not now. But we showed him didn't we? Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.

@12:01 You are absolutely right.

Bennie and our new mayor are the two biggest racist in this state. Watch as they attack the white man every chance they get. The hate they hold in their heart is dangerous.

Has Antar done anything to attract businesses to locate in Jackson? I'm genuinely interested in hearing any positive points. My business is in Jackson. Not only am I not comforted by our mayor, I have decided to move my business out of Jackson, and likely out of state.

#JacksonDrivesTaxRevenueAway

Prior to the WLBT live coverage of the Civil Rights Museum opening ceremony, I reluctantly tuned in to the Chicken Noodle Network (CNN) thinking they would be covering it. I wasn't surprised to see them covering it, and the panel of at least 4 African Americans giving their opinions on "Choke-We" not showing up. That's right, "Choke-We", not "Shock-Way". Just goes to show you they have no interest or knowledge of the guy other than the color of his skin and Jackson Mississippi makes for some good "talking points".

The Mayor is an empty suit supported by the separatist malcontents that followed his father and wanted their power and platform back. They have an unfinished agenda and Chowke Obama is, to paraphrase Joe Biden, the "clean, articulate" messenger they needed. But this guy is so clueless about what needs to be done to fix Jackson. Unfortunately his base is so anti-Trump and anti-white that they will continue to lap his crap up even if he fails to move the needle in a positive direction for the city.

just a bit o' did

when life imitates art

This will be a boon to Jackson. Just think of the thousands of tourists who visit Jackson to tour the Medgar Evers Home Museum, the Smith Robertson Museum, and the International Museum of Muslim Cultures. Now add to that the masses that will fly from New York and London and Los Angeles and Tokyo to come see the history of Civil Rights.

Jackson is on the MOVE!
