Jackson Jambalaya

Just two misguided socialists who haven't figured out that their philosophy does not work.

Besides, the people they want to empower long ago detemined that it's just easier to draw a welfare check.

I can think of one thing more dangerous to the low-information crowd than Bull-Shit and that's well-articulated Bull-Shit.

The latter got us Bill Clinton and Barack Obama...and this guy.

Reckon his momma never told him to take off his cap when he appears on a thirty minute video program? Or the notion of 'dress up and show up' in order to gain credibility? Is this, however, the successor to Enoch Sanders without us having to wonder what's under that cap? Does he subscribe to the theory of not 'appearing too white' in order to be a successful Pied Piper? In order to validate and free the 'underground economy' must he dress the part of a community organizer who took a brief break in order to spread the message?

It's not so much how many Jackson folk can he lure with the piper's pipe. It's a matter of how many grants he can get, how many foundations he can manage to con and how many activist groups he can get to sponsor his journey to becoming the Idi Amin of Jackson, Mississippi.

Its amazing how many conspiracy theories he spews over the years and how many basic facts he gets wrong. If you disagree with him, you are a racist. If you are black and disagree with him, you are internalizing white supremacy.

"When the facts don't fit your conclusions change the facts".

I tried to post an example of another conspiracy theory but your radar canned it. It made just as much sense as those he includes in his message to the folk.

How much land have they acquired? Its easy to talk about all of this collaborative stuff until somebody has to put up the money.

Meanwhile, dual-income black families are fleeing for the suburbs in mass. Should keep housing costs in Jackson low for many years.

That same crowd blasted the fact that the continental tire plant located outside of Jackson. They would have been just as vocal had they located inside of Jackson because it would have brought jobs, incomes and prosperity.

The issue is, this kush bunch has no answers other than to cry racism. Everything is a conspiracy. Get mad when white folks leave, get mad when white folks show up. Get mad when business leaves. Get mad when business comes in. Just get mad. And solve nothing.

If you really want to see a transformation just look at Jackson 20 years ago and compare Jackson today.

I may be wrong, but from what I remember the idea to flood downtown Jackson so it could be declared a navigable waterway and thus be qualified for river front gambling was April Fool's joke that was promoted on the front page of the Clarion-Ledger several years ago. Does anyone else remember that?

At the heart of all this "self-determination" bullshit is the basic premise that the "people" are too stupid to understand where they need to go. If this would-be socialist dictator would tell the people of Jackson that they are to be the subject of a socialist experiment which has no precedent or parallel anywhere in this country and that the ultimate aim is not economic prosperity but shared misery (under democratic principles) what little Black middle class is left in Jackson would soon jump ship. Mixed in with his manipulation of fact is the basic truth that the job market is rapidly changing. Jobs for unskilled, semi-skilled and marginal workers will be phased out by the new technology. That's true, but whether the City of Jackson will be at the forefront of a workers revolution resulting in a socialist economy is asking a lot. He ought to openly discuss the Kush plan with Jackson's citizens before charting this Marxist course under
the pretense of "self-determination".

Send these socialists to Venezuela. Bullshit will end promptly. Don't let them back. Win - win.

wack-jobs like this clown have been around forever. he keeps company with the likes of castro, mao se tung, ayatollah homeni, david duke, stalin, idi amine,and bernie sanders. and there are millions of people out there who believe he is credible simply because hes on TV.

to 12:05...... PLEASE tell me how you go about deporting an american citizen to venezuela or anywhere else for that matter. THIS I GOT TO HEAR. bring it.

The report was produced for and shown on the Russian Television network. That should tell readers everything the need to know.

He keeps referring to "they" as in they are doing this or they are doing that. Who are "they?"

I'll admit that I could only sit through the first 10 minutes of this video. My initial reaction was that this gentleman, who claims to want to better the black community, basically says that the African-american community in Jackson is apparently not capable of CHOOSING and WORKING for better for themselves. He's constantly blaming white flight and the lack of business in Jackson for the demise of the city; however, what anyone with any sense can see is that white-flight and lack of business has occurred because of crime, crumbling infrastructure, and failed leadership (both politically and judicially) of Jackson. Through my job, I've experienced contact with some of the homes and residents in the inner-city; here's what we ALWAYS find: 1. most residents (tenants) are ALWAYS homes because they do not hold jobs, 2. most residents (tenants) have ZERO pride in the properties they inhabit, 3. most are perfectly content with the life they lead.... UNLESS someone is willing to GIVE them a better life (i.e. more money, food, etc.) with no effort on their part, and 4. the residences where someone holds a job NEVER have a traditional family setting (father, mother, children)... it's always a boyfriend, auntie, etc. The people I've known that try to provide better for the kids and family typically choose to move out of the city. This leads to them being called traitors and sell-outs. I know there are a handful of good, hard-working people in Jackson who truly want the people to want better for themselves; but, until PEOPLE want to WORK to better their OWN lives through EDUCATION (you CAN get a good education in Jackson... people do it EVERY SINGLE DAY... but you have to put the WORK in), willingness to work from the bottom up (like most everyone else... life's not always fair), and RESPONSIBILITY for the families they create, NOTHING WILL CHANGE. No group or government entity will be able to "BETTER" their lives LONG-TERM for them. It's going to take the majority actually WORKING towards improvement... not a quick fix idea or blame game. It will also take a large portion of people realizing politicians DO NOT HAVE your best interests at heart. I don't claim political affiliation, but think one of the biggest tragedies since the civil rights movement began is the belief that the democratic party is fighting to better the lives of minorities. Anyone willing to take off their rose-colored glasses and look at the prominently minority cities SHOULD BE ABLE to see the truth. There's this twisted belief that they want "better" for you and will "fight" for you, but technically, you're just a guaranteed vote on election day. There's NEVER any real progress... just kicking and screaming about why the failure is EVERYONE ELSE'S FAULT! The saddest part is that we now have an ENTIRE generation (this includes ALL races) of entitled, with VERY FEW understanding the benefits of hard work, commitment, and patience. They ALL want the same level of success, affirmation, and compensation NOW that their parents and grand-parents worked 20 years to earn! And it seems politicians and activists will CONTINUE to give them excuse after excuse about why they cannot CHOOSE and ACHIEVE better for themselves.

Rent Veterans Memorial for the weekend: put this pair in one half, and Chris McDaniel and his clan in the other, and let them fight it out to the end. Hard to tell which is the most radical and also the one that can stretch any concept into the largest lie. Both need a reality check of what is, and what should never be - the socialist commune that they are promoting in this video or the anti-everything, everyone for himself, white power system of Chris.

Thank the good Lord that while both represent a small, crazy bunch or radicals, most of this city, state and nation have a much better grasp of reality.

@12:18 trebuchet.

Just another reason not to spend a dime of my money in Jackson. If whites are the problem, then you don’t need my money.

RESPECT MY WHITE DOLLARS!

2:10 speaks the truth, even after the hyperbole is scraped away. After the Voting Rights Act, Stokely Carmichael and others changed the message to "black power," but we are still waiting for the day when the cycle of dependency is broken by widespread, homegrown efforts to employ the basic tools of rising in the world: education and hard work. Racism will not go away. Tribalism will not go away. But we can count on the fact that nearly all of us will respect people of other tribes who live by the values that underlie a healthy society: self-sacrifice, humility, dedication to family, courtesy and, again, hard work and a willingness to learn. Personally I think that, over time, ballot power is the most important kind of power.

This dude is certainly cra-cra- but there is a kernel of truth to what he is saying as it relates to the future of unskilled people, or those at the bottom of the economic pile. Like it or not- we are headed toward some choppy waters as it relates to automation, AI, etc. Interesting times.

Serious question to ask Jackson leaders: “would you be willing to accept whites making up 40% of population, if that would make the city more successful? Property rates rising & more tax revenue for infrastructure improvements, ect”.

Leadership is NOT about making excuses but doing the right thing (even when it’s not popular).

Question for all:
"If you have 83% of the vote, then why do you need help to 'self-determine" yourself?

Amen, Two-Ten! The idea that one will gain an education, or prosperity, without doing the work, is akin to the notion that one can build muscles without exercise. It is so obvious, on its face, that even a moron like our video star should see it.

Y’all do realize this is Russian propaganda, right?

Trumpski TV. All Russian propaganda all the time! Real news!

First question (and I did listen to all of the tape): Does this cooperative that is buying houses and fixing them up pay taxes to the city. Or, does them being owned by a cooperative for 99 years exempt them from taxes?

2. With Fortification being the dividing line, would that include everything south of that street? Are they excluding areas like 5 points or is that part of the gentrification by Medical Corridor? Would the CBD be part of their cooperative?

3. Did others notice the one-time use of the word "Kush" and "Klan"?

Jackson’s own Pol Pot.

This socialist alternative can only work if you restrict citizens ability to move. Anybody with talent, ambition and economic wherewithal is going to get the hell out. This nut and the rest of Antar's Kushites will preside over a hell hole with no tax base whatsoever. So they are already making plans for barter instead of money, community soup kitchens, communal living etc. The only thing positive is they will be in charge. Positive?

I checked the Hinds County Landroll. Neither this guy nor his cooperative owns a damn thing on Fortification Street. Buy the land first before you start telling the enemy your plans. All talk, no action.

No wonder they're called DIM-O-Krats!!

Again...how much property has this cooperative acquired and who have they helped with it, the second question being the most important.

There are plenty of hardworking black people from Jackson that over come the odds and get a good education and start a family and pursue the American dream. It’s a dream their grandparents could not realize. And at the first chance they move as far away from this crap as possible.

Black flight does not get enough attention but it’s filling the schools in Rankin and Madison counties and in Clinton.

None of the socialist schemes this guy and his comrades have proposed amount to a damn thing unless the rest of the economy fails. No one who can make a descent living, black or white, would want to live in their "cooperative community". These guys have been selling this picture of capitalist collapse since the mid-seventies. They can't wait for a disaster so that they can impose their agenda on a loser community like Jackson. Let 'em wait some more.

Wait, what??? Replace U.S. dollars with a barter economy?

Let's do away with silverware and eat with our hands while we're at it.

Yes, this man is uneducated and ill informed at best and probably suffers from a mental disorder.
And, yes, you can find all sorts of nuts with their own videos and websites these days. Utube and websites and our airways are bombarded with fascist nonsense and bogus conspiracy theorists and bizarre religious con men, too.

Why don't we fact check the ones who do and that have been elected to something or are trying to be elected. Can we start with those who Tweet?

11:53 is correct. This gentlemen says that the system that works for white folks does not work for black folks. Horse-hooey. Socialism is the cure to all ills in this man's eyes (i.e., make everyone else's labor be a benefit to all people so that no person has any reason to be productive or to take risks to create a better future for themselves).

They want economic democracy with socialism? I'm not the brightest bulb in the package, but does that even make sense?

A socialist community inside a capitalist economy ALWAYS demands a level of communal sacrifice comparable to a vow of poverty. He knows this but he and his fellow hucksters will not tell the people of Jackson what they have in mind. They know that if they do the economy of Jackson will collapse even faster than it will anyway. So instead of saying they have no intention of bringing capital investment into Jackson and revitalizing this city, they intend to conduct an experiment in socialism, and conditions will probably get a whole lot worse. Basically it embraces the notion that misery is inevitable and shared misery is bliss. However, take heart, the rich will not be in charge. The poor will run things...with his guidance of course.

He is always making these thinly-veiled references to "international investors" buying up downtown Jackson. He is referring to Hertz buying up Parkway's properties downtown. Make no mistake, Akuno is engaged in some Jew-bashing. He doesn't want to get called out for it, so he changes the term to "international investors".

Only clowns such as this one think investment is a bad thing.

I wonder if he realizes that jackson has been under african american leadership for the past 21 years

Look, I can forgive young people in 1909 Russia for falling for Marxism. You're stuck in a backwater farm town with literally no way to get an education or better yourself. Famines are pretty regular. It's been this way for hundreds of years, and nothing ever changes.

But if you live in Jackson, MS, you are not chained to the land. Here's how you improve your life:

1. Pack up your stuff and rent a cheap apartment in Clinton, Rankin County, or Ridgeland, immediately reducing the threat of crime 50-75%.

2. Send your kid to the public schools there, immediately improving their education 100%. (Pro tip: Check their homework and don't let them wander around at night.)

3. Enroll them in a community college, in a field that leads to a skilled profession. Anything from IT to welding will do. Immediately increase their expected life income by 150%. (Pro tip: Maybe enroll in welding courses yourself?)

4. Repeat for the next generation, substituting a starter house for an apartment and maybe college. (Pro tip: Don't have kids unless you're married!)

Congratulations! Your family is now middle class! It took maybe 20 years of moderately hard work, but now you're unimaginably rich by global and historical standards. Meanwhile, in Venezuela, children are begging in the streets and food and gas are being rationed.

9:48
It can not be stated better than this.

Wait, I don't get this. Both of these were said:

- All the white people fled, taking their money, and left a rotting city.

- All the white people want to come in, bringing their money, and buy up the land to build condos and domed stadiums.

Which is it? Are the white people the cause of the problem by leaving, meaning that they should return to fix it? Or are the white people the cause of the problem by returning, meaning they should stay away?

BTW, "gentrification" is liberal code for "white people". When he says he is trying to fight gentrification, he means he is trying to fight white people. Given the direction of the racial makeup of the city, I'd say he's fighting a chimera.

And I think the "flooding the city" thing he referred to was the long dormant (if not dead) Two Lakes, which was never a plan to flood out poor neighborhoods like he makes it out to be.

FFS. Obama and Clinton were not aligned with the likes of Chris Hedges.

Look he's against development because city's like Atlanta went from majority black to white in a short time period. Look at D.C. it's white now as well
Was 75% black.

I just realized 12 minutes into this, that this it RT TV...this is who got trump elected...this is a plot by Putin to take over Jackson MS, and Trump is behind it...

This guy may be onto something. Read carefully:

He advocates family and community unity and unity in the black race. He carefully defines himself and his community and insists that he and it be allowed to speak and be heard in order to solve their own problems.

He talks about building and maintaining the community, a community which will come together to solve its own problems.

He advocates blacks owning property and stores and other businesses and profiting collectively, sort of like a co-op. He recognizes the greatness of the people in the Kush and has a plan to restore and refurbish that greatness. And he is down with the struggle and proclaims himself to be a visionary who will lead the community to greatness, righteousness and victory. All he needs is a podium and lots of cash.

Doesn't that sound productive? Can't we simply embrace it? Does it sound familiar? It ought to; the above is taken straight out of the Seven Principles of Kwanzaa. This guy is a fake and a fraud who has done nothing more than bastardize a fake holiday week that was created by a felon in order to bastardize and diminish the value of the Christmas season.

@8:45
You may be onto something here... seems they also have our uranium that the Clintons sold them and Bill received there $535,000 from oil in the black sea to do a quick speech... with the oligarchs (former KGB) they traded in there uniforms for custom fitted suits.

So to translate; underground=illegal; sex trade= prostitution/human trafficking. So what this guy is saying that Jackson's economy is being propped up by drug/human traffickers and he seems ok with it.

The rest is him trying to use big fancy words to say they want to create their own country, just like Lumumba Sr. wanted...

Just because you use big words and the promise of utopia doesn't mean it will work.

They will be pushed out.....they have no backing or financial pockets. Don’t hide behind your color because you are last in line.

1. Choke Lumumba was part of the RNA hat were involved in a shootout in JXN in 1971 that resulted in 1 LEO killed and 3 wounded. They want whites out but want white money for business ? Really. Prediction: Jackson will continue to fail and go bankrupt. The tax base of working whites and blacks( white buisness) are leaving as fast as they can. They are tired of having their stores broken into and all their stuff stolen. They are tired of driving down roads that resemble Iraq. They whites are fleeing and so are the middle class blacks. Jackson will be like Detroit or new Orleans in 10 years. Jackson even resembles Detroit. Hell if the VA would move to Madison or pearl I would never go into Jacktown again. Lumumba's son Antor said he would make JXN the most radical city in the USA. great. Another dipshit liberal radical black in charge. Can you say Detroit redux ? I was a cop in JXN for 10 years . I watched it self implode starting with that idiot Kane Ditto in 1990. He gave us that idiot Jimmy Wilson. God what a piece of work that moron was. Y'all can have Jacktown. I wish that would change the capitol of ms to Madison or oxford.
