Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba gave a speech at Netroots Nation 2018 in New Orleans last week that freaked out Laura Ingraham.

Trollfest '09
Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.
Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).
Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.
Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".
In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.
In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.
Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.
Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!
This is definitely a Beaver production.

Trollfest '07
Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards.

Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.
There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.

I love his high school senior speech class tactic #9, "So, in conclusion..."
-Economics for the people and by the people- vs. -Economics for a few people and themselves-
These are critical questions to be pondering as people are not receiving water bills, schools and zoos are being poorly run, and potholes are not being paved. I guess once we commence Chancellor Lumumba's ascent to the throne, all of these minor details will fall into place.
I wonder if he had as much fun in NOLA as Tony did.
I haven't seen a beard game this strong since Jackson Galaxy, the cat whisperer
https://kaitlinkonecke.files.wordpress.com/2014/10/jackson.jpg?w=723
He seems to misunderstand himself. Economics for the people should include all the people, but he seems to believe that those that are providing the economics for the city of Jackson don't deserve them, and that those on the other end should get all the benefits.
Kinda like his crime theory - that crime does pay. He lists all the parts of the criminal system that "make money" from the crime (lawyers, judges, jailers, etc.) but fails to recognize those that commit the crimes - that he evidently doesn't believe should 'pay' for their profits - that don't get counted in his economics theory, because they aren't paying taxes on their profitable side of crime. Except, maybe, for the car tag on their souped up vehicles with the gold rims bought with their criminal profits.
Jokeway can't address Jackson's real-time problems but he's got all the time under the sun to play yammering idealogue for audiences far removed from the dreadful conditions of an imploding Jackson.
I wonder if they check the state and well being of his community before hiring him to speak about community organizing? This is the new realm of the movement.
After looking and the netroots website, theur keynote speakers include, Peoli, Biden, Fauxcahontas(Lez'ebeth Warren), Obama, Harry Reid, Bernie, Van Jones, and a host of other liberal Progressives. Basically its a rally for the Soros/Progressive movement. Its so great little chucky can take time off from doing nothing here in Jackson to promote Progressiveness. Maybe someone should have thrown some truth into his statements about the problems here in Jackson. Instead these people want everyone else to pay for their benefits and wellbeing. Sounds kind of like that JPS bond issue....
Baby Choc's view of the world as expressed here is as screwy as his continued claim of importance with his statistically correct, but meaningless "93% victory margin".
A democrat running in a general election in a black city in MS against three, or four (who remembers, who cares) nobodies - candidates with no name ID, no money, and no campaigns. Hell, he ought to be ashamed that he lost 7% in that election considering the "opposition" he had on the ballot.
But, when that's all you have to be able to brag about, guess you have to take what's available. Otherwise, as he compares his city to New Orleans, Chicago, etc. he fails to note the comparison of the ever increasing murder rate; the increasing violent crime (that does pay, evidently); the crumbling infrastructure that the state is having to take over in order to keep the city afloat; the totally failed public education system - ooops, that the state should have taken over but passed - that is going from failure to total failure; ......
Well, enough. The road could go on forever, but the party in his "radical city" has ended.
10:03,
"liberal Progressive", "Soros/Progressive movement", "Progressiveness",
It's called Communism.
Now that the message is going national, no one with any brains at all will come near Jackson.It is poison and will kill the entire metro area. Property values are are dropping every day.
He better be careful. If he keeps spewing this communist rhetoric, he may wind up in Congress.
Bennie's political power base ends with Bennie. There are too many other powerful players in that Congressional district who are not going to roll over for the Kush Boy Wonder.
Is this what he embraced at that Haaarrrrvarrrd seminar? Is he now a "certified" commie?
Other than a few 'ninth warders' can you imagine listening to this speech in New Orleans and thinking, "Hummmm; I might want to move on up there to Jackson. Maybe open me a business. Make some friends. Retire."
I think he will possibly run for the seat currently held by uncle bennie once he announces he isn't running again.
In this video, he discusses a joint project with Oxfam and New Way MS for the Path Out of Poverty workforce development pilot program. Specifically, they are going to champion the training and hiring of "returning citizens" (a euphemism for ex-convicts) on the fiber project.
Lumumba refers to Jackson being a locus for the implementation of "the dignity economy". Apparently, the idea is that people are hired to make them feel good about themselves rather than because they are qualified.
(Will the last sane person to leave Jackson please turn out the lights...?)
https://www.facebook.com/CityofJackson/videos/434632880360376/
Well, I guess he doesn't understand that money goes where it is treated best... he also speaks on incomes in this country. It would only be fair to ask why so many unskilled laborers come to this country to work rather than stay at home. If this country is so bad for lower income workers why do immigrants come. I came here when I was 18 years old. I came for college and never returned to South Africa. Problem chokwe has is that he lacks basic u understanding of the rest of the world. It's not apples to apples. The poor are by far better here than other places. Rafts leave Cuba for Miami for a reason.
IMHO his Father's idea to create a "black nation" is probably the best solution anyone can come up with. I know some black folks that I highly respect and think much of - but I don't want my kids anywhere near JPS. A logical solution is literally to let us all go our separate ways and be done with it. Also, I have much more respect for a man coming up with his own solutions rather than just blindly voting with the DNC year after year.
As this nation divides itself further and further over ideological differences, and white people become simply the largest minority, even that white mom who lives in Madison but votes DNC every year will begin to see the writing on the wall. It's cute to vote DNC when you live in Madison, but once your country is one big Jxn the pressure WILL build. This is eventually all going to degrade into either war or separatism.... I'm hoping for a peaceful separatism. That way, we can all run our own little experiments and decide once and for whose ideology is "superior".
@ 10:26
Oh I can attest that the wealthy white ivy educated from the northeast and Seattle are smitten with him as they are fascinated by any black individual they encounter as they generally are rarely seen in those areas. It's true. Look up demographics of those areas. They are so smitten. Mainly because they carry a heavy heart and alot of guilt for something like the color of there skin.
"The doom of a nation can be averted only by a storm of flowing passion, but only those who are passionate themselves can arouse passion in others." Adolf Hitler
Sound familiar?
Last year some typical lefty progressive "entrepreneur" tweeted that no tech businesses want to relocate to red states because everyone is racist and voted for Trump, so they'd rather pay higher costs to stay in SF or NY or LA where everyone is brilliant and blah blah blah pat-myself-on-the-back-for-my-progressiveness blah blah blah.
I responded to her by imploring her to come to Jackson. I cited 80% African American population, overwhelming support for Hillary in 2016, 6 of 7 city council members are liberal Democrats, prominent HBCU in town, the mayor was elected promising the most radical city in America. Then I said, "or is the city too black for you and your progressive friends?"
Never got a response.
"In Jackson, MS I've had the opportunity to talk to people all across the country..." He talks about self-determination, but demands a new system to govern people...
I could go on and on, but even more than ever this moron doesn't make any sense.
Congratulations Jackson!
"Peoples Assembly" vs. Town Hall Meetings. "Draft" our leaders vs. "electing" our leaders. "Capitalistic Economy" vs. "Solidarity Economy".
Oddly enough: "By the People and For the People" vs. the U.S.Constitution.
And, a whole new word: "Conquertize" or "Conquertise"
If you close your eyes and just listen to Baby Chok, you begin to think that you're listening to Obama, the chief community organizer himself. It takes a brain-washed, extremely low IQ individual to buy the bullshit that they spew from their pie holes. I guess the 'Chocolate City' was the perfect venue for Baby Chok to give his little commie speech.
A lot of firsts have happened in the history of Jackson Mississippi. I can think of no more historically significant place for The Peoples' Revolution to happen than in the capital of the state that still flies the Confederate battle flag.
When it happens, it's going to make the Haitian Revolution look like a public employees barbecue. And due to decades of character assassination, everyone will watch it on TV and collectively sigh and say "They deserved it"
Most people who use “isms” have no clue what they truly mean. If you are going to accuse this guy or anyone of being a communist or Marxist please provide “actual” proof for your theory. Second our President has openly embraced Putin, an actual communist because (and here is the proof) for example Putin is president of a nation with a one party state that bans or punishes political dissent. They also oppose capitalism. Why is one alleged commie bad while the other is a nice guy? If you think this country isn’t at least partly socialist you’re not smart. Republicans have a the White House, a majority of governorships, and a majority of state legislatures. We still have Medicaid, social security, rising debt, and Trump just gave 12billion to farmers to help with their losses from the tariffs.
Is his statement overall any different that tea party republicans or republicans in general the past few years. I interpret "Drain the swamp" to mean the system in place is not representing the people. Get rid of Washington or professional politicians and put in place a system that represents all Americans and remove the system that benefits a few wealthy people to the detriment of the many.
"Choke-way" is a completely low-energy, low-IQ individual. Highly overrated. I hope he runs against me for Ward 1 City Council. Sad!
@11:22
" Trump just gave 12billion to farmers to help with their losses from the tariffs."
Better 12 billion to United States of America farmers than terrorist organizations that want to destroy the US!
Baby Chok's speech provides more reasons to build the wall - along the south side of County Line Road.
It would only make sense for him to speak in New Orleans. Jackson took most of the 9th Ward Refugees and the government housed them in the run down Indian owned hotels. Welcome to the world of New Low Housing...build new hotels and let the government pay to house low income recipients in the old ones. Bet you didn’t see that comin did ya?
Heard this same crap when he spoke at a local civic club a week or so ago. Almost word for word. In the meeting, where everyone stood, saluted, and said the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag, and he stood still, hands down, saying nothing. He is all talk, solely to further his own personal wealth. He has no other realistic or plausible agenda. An empty suit.
@11:22 AM
You make a valid point, but you youeself know nothing. Capitalism and authoritarianism are not opposing views. Just take a look at post war South Korea or the Marcos dictatorship in the Philippines. Both were authoritarian dictatorships with capitalist, free-market economies.
Crony capitalism is still capitalism. What we have in the United States is more closely related to Corporatism. The Russian federation is a capitalist Plutocracy, nothing to do with communism or socialism what so ever.
Yes, Vladimir Putin was formally employed by the communist party, but so was almost every Russian his age.
Communism has never really existed outside of the idea, as it is always contrary to human nature. Even in the most authoritarian Communist governments, black market capitalism ALWAYS developed due to the constant failures of a "Command Economy" aka communism.
The radical change which the young mayor so passionately promotes has to have some allure especially for those people at the very bottom economically. New Orleans and Jackson have a growing population of such people and they think they have nothing to loose. The problem is, these people cannot finance anything, not their own lives or the day to day expenses of municipal government and education. They can only hope to control the spending of other peoples money. That can only happen if the "other people" are a captive audience that cannot move to greener pastures. In these United States the one thing the money can always do is MOVE. So all Chokwe can guarantee is self determination i.e. controlling your own starvation. The dream of prosperity is never mentioned, as individual wealth becomes a complete rarity, if not a crime, in his socialist ghost town.
Blacks are treated much better in this country than any other in all of reality if you look at Mexico… they deport every black person that sets foot on the land, look at Cuba Castro locked up or just machine gunned black families in front of there children. It would appear that when all angles are taken into account that this country is the land of opportunity. People come here because they can have a chance to be great and worse case scenario they won't be killed by there government due to tribal difference or there religion. Wake up America… This is the best of the best. I guess those that doubt it can try other places although its much more difficult to move to another country tan it is this one. Try to practice Islam in Japan or China its banned. I say send the socialist to any socialist country and see what freedoms you have and the safe space they provide. You will likely be dumpster diving or eating a can of dog food if its a good day. Look at it through those that are truly oppressed. Poor people here have Direct TV or play station iPhones cars etc… Lets get serious.
If you are going to accuse this guy or anyone of being a communist or Marxist please provide “actual” proof for your theory.
No problem, as soon as the leftists provide proof that everyone they call a racist is indeed so.
Or everyone they refer to as a fascist.
Or everyone they call a sexist.
He quotes Marxist authors so take that for what it is worth.
11:22 am wrote, "Most people who use “isms” have no clue what they truly mean. If you are going to accuse this guy or anyone of being a communist or Marxist please provide “actual” proof for your theory. Second our President has openly embraced Putin, an actual communist because (and here is the proof) for example Putin is president of a nation with a one party state that bans or punishes political dissent."
Well, first, you wrote "'isms'" but then, bemoaned accusations of "ists" - two different things. As to Putin being a communist, no, he isn't. In fact, Putin, along with most of those both doing the accusing and being accused would be in the first bunch "dispensed with" by a truly communist state. What Putin and rest have in common is a selfish desire for putting their own interests first regardless of the consequences, which is the antithesis of "communism." As to your "proof," most of the Middle East fits your definition and they are about as far from "communism" as a state can get. Anyway, as to the Mayor, he is neither a communist nor a Marxist (or a socialist), he is just another person who simply wants what he wants, damned the consequences. I'll even accept as true the claim that his heart is often in the right place. The problem is, however, that his mind rarely goes along for the ride.
As to 11:18 am and the Haitian revolution, how has that worked out? Haiti has been under black control for almost 250 years and you can literally see the border on satellite photos. For those that think Jackson is bad, spend some time in Haiti. As most soon find out, being a radical revolutionary is a hell of lot easier than a radical revolution.
The separatist crap is a large part of why Jackson is the mess that it is and until both blacks and whites accept their respective responsibilities for it all and worry more about the future of all than the past of some, things will not get better. So, Mr. Mayor, quit worrying about being "Chokwe Lumumba" and start worrying about being "the mayor for all of Jackson." Besides, do you really want a Soviet indoctrination center disguised as a university named after you (although, admittedly and sadly, it would likely graduate more students than the current JPS)? Again, look how well that all worked out.
Harvard and New Orleans, amazing he's able to continue doing all those great things for Jackson with so many irons in the fire. A remarkable leader.
Don't worry!!! Little Chokwe will replace Bennie once he is retired... it probably won't be much longer now.
Empty Suit.
If he wants to be a great mayor he’ll have to fix the streets and water/sewer problems.
12:17 made some good points, including, "Communism has never really existed outside of the idea, as it is always contrary to human nature. Even in the most authoritarian Communist governments, black market capitalism ALWAYS developed due to the constant failures of a 'Command Economy' aka communism."
To take it a step further, life is in large part transactional. For example, even the lowest life forms must trade X amount of effort for X-plus sustenance and if they fail to do so, they die off. In human terms, one cannot burn X calories a day while consuming less than X calories and survive (fat Mississippian jokes soon to follow...). "Communism," "socialism" and other re-distributive systems cannot work because it is mathematically impossible for every member of a system to forevermore obtain X-plus with none winding up with X-minus (it is more "finite common pool" than "zero sum"). Add "human nature" to the equation and it rapidly accelerates the collapse of the entire system, ala the Soviet collapse. See also the Chinese "controlled restructuring." Discussions about whether the strong should help the weak, and due to desire, obligation, mandate or some combination, and if so how much, are separate topics.
CRIME IS DOWN . WE ARE NOW ON HOW MANY POLICE CHIEFS BY NOW. THE MAYOR IS QUIETLY BUILDING A NEW NATION. NO AUDITS , NO ACCOUNTABILITY. NO LEADERSHIP. JUST CORRUPTION IN EVERY IMAGINABLE FORM. WHERE ARE OUR LEADERS THAT SHOULD STOP THIS SHIT."

Meanwhile the "Better Together Commission" has ZERO to show in terms of helping the boys and girls of JPS. The dude likes to get between an issue and the camera but has not impressed me as someone who wants to personally do the work.
The answer to the problems facing Jackson is not socialism. The answer can be no less than FULL COMMUNISM!
The oppressed people's of Jackson must take a stand against the bourgeois in Rankin County who have stolen their surplus values. The only reason those hillbillies in Flowood have anything going is pure theft.
Mayor Lamumba must lead the charge in taking what rightfully belongs to the people of Jackson.
Rankin and Madison Counties belong to the citizens of Jackson.
#FULLCOMMUNISM
#FREE THE LAND
Let's see who votes in November. I think that their are enough progressives and independents that will vote. That even in places like Maryland where you have a very popular Republican Governor, that you will see Democrats rule the day. Will Trump then flip and start working with the Democrats, he was never a Republican anyway.
please remember, it only took 24,000 votes to place him in office. That is pathetic......same as 86 % (+/- 13K people) decided that we get a 65 million burden for JPS
@ 2:27,
CNN and Wall street journal reported yesterday that Trump manages to gain hispanic and black voters at an alarming rate. Mainly males under age of 40. These are normally a safe bet for the democrats however, they're claiming now that its not so much with Trump. Nearly 50% of trump voters voted for Obama. Look at the map its easy to see. Blacks are voting trump but not other republican candidates. Actually I guess i first saw this on Sunday morning when Chuck Todd addressed it.
What is it about giving people a chance to RECUSE THEMSELVES, some of you don't understand?
That is not communism, being " radical" for change mentioned Jesus as an example.
And, please, do at least look up the definitions of different forms of government and try to understand that a system of government is not an economic system.
Dictatorships can be capitalistic if the dictator is benign.
And, if you think locking up drug addicts and alcoholics is a cheaper and more effective alternative to effective treatment, you are nuts.
Wealth in the hands of the top 2% is NOT compatible with capitalism.
Is it that y'all are opposed to equal unbiased equal opportunity?
Laura Ingraham makes a living at finding molehills to make into mountains on being indignant and outraged so she can laugh all the way to the bank. With her Ivy League education and law firm experience, she knows much of what she is saying is total BS. She just figured out she'd make more in politics than in the law and she's was right.
@3:14 you cnn and the wsj editors must frequenting Vape Shops if you think black people will vote for Trump or anyone who says he is a Republican. 1 in a thousand may, but only because they made a mistake.
@3:14,
Yes I saw the reports your referring to. It's reported that Trump has climb in support with black votes not sure why it's mainly black males but it's increased from 14% on election day to 31-33% in August. Yes no shocker about the Latino support. I'm Cuban decent myself... in miami area he won about 76% of the Cuban vote. Across the Latino community though he is around 39%.
@3:20
Remember this... capitalism has fed more people than communism. Your ideas are the reason people flee those types of countries. Cuba for Florida, Venezuela for Florida, north korea for South Korea. I mean it can't get any more simple to figure out. West Germany vs. Easy germany, Soviet block nations also had millions flee. Your ideas are purely academic and unproven to be successful and also have led to the death of millions worldwide. Your not well educated on this issue as it has failed in every nation it has been tried in. Ask yourself why is it that people are dumpster diving in Venezuela to feed there family. Or why do people risk there lives fleeing Cuba for Florida... it's because the risk is well worth the reward. You must deal in real terms not some utopia. Your as sharp as Tom Head from nextdoor Fondren.
@ 3:20
I hope Your not listing China as a capitalist dictatorship.
Yowsa! How long until Amazon, Apple, Twitter, Facebook, etc., announce relocation to the I-220 corridor?
Doesn't Bill Gates want to send his daughter to Provine?
Well, that sure covfefed quickly...
Shave the beard and you've got just a chunky Obama.....sheesh. Poor soul doesn't even understand what drivel he's spouting. Socialism....they're not even hiding the fact, which inevitably turns into Communism once everyone's money is taxed out of existence....check out Venezuela. Greece is barely hanging on.....
Sorry, I only watched one minute. You can;’t have bragging rights on 93% of the vote in a city that has voted in and keeps Kenneth Stokes.
People put Lumumba down but have no problem with turning the country over to Putin so we can become a colony of Communist Russia. I hope all of the people so blinded by race realize they will be nothing more than serfs if we become part of Russia.
I think anything that's not Caucasian freaks out Laura Ingraham.
I just watched the entire thing. If you make over 100,000, you better get as far away from Baby Chok as you can. Get out while you can still sell your house.
Mr. Mayor, you have been given the key to your success by 1:47pm, right here on JJ:
"If he wants to be a great mayor he’ll have to fix the streets and water/sewer problems."
There's your answer in one sentence. Pick one thing, fix it and fix it properly, on-time and on-budget, and then, fix another. With each thing fixed, not only will Jackson get better, you'll get better.
Here's a suggestion: Find 10 citizens, 5 black and 5 white, who are not "business leaders," "up and comers," "church leaders," "consultants," or any other horseshit because people who see themselves as important will just tell you what they want. If Mike Bloomberg has all the answers, why doesn't he get his rich white ass to Jackson and set about helping you fix things instead of flying you to Harvard for a long weekend and telling you what's what? You will gain a whole lot more from plain, normal folks who are your constituents telling you the unvarnished truth if you are truly prepared to listen, learn, and act. Or if you want to be some darling-de-jour, fine, go that route. And if so, fuck you, you hypocrite.
@6:59 PM Do a little research on the ethnicity/countries of origin of the children that Laura Ingraham has adopted and get back to us.
This Mayor is so full of it. 93% voted for me! Sounds great until you realize that the only Mayoral election that matters in Jackson is the primary. There are hardly any Republicans in this city anyway and when they vote for Mayor, they vote in the Democratic Primary because they know that's when the winner is decided. In 2017, Lumumba only got 55% of the primary vote. In the general, where he ran against 1 Republican, 3 Independents and one Libertarian, all the Democrats who decided to come out an vote voted for the Democrat which of course was Lumumba. He got 23,242 votes out of 25,007 which is 93%. Big deal, the real vote was 55%, which is far from a mandate.
@6:59
Obviously you haven't seen Laura ingraham's children if that's what you think it's adopted kids of different races. Don't speak on things don't know. It's obvious that your a race minded fool. Focus on the individual rather than skin color. Your ignorance is clear.
"We Must Have a New System that Governs Us"........obviously he does not understand what FREEDOM is. That whole by the people, for the people thing
@8:01
100k household income? Please, those people can't afford to live in Jackson. The city of Jackson is the rich and then the poor class. Generally the Fondren belhaven eastover Meadowbrook highland families have 2 or 3 kids in private school to pat yearly. So most of these families make 500k at minimum. Usually 1 income households as well. The wife is playing tennis at River Hills or yoga someplace. You know the types you see at highland village. This is the reality of it.
10:36 - 500K a year for most? You're dreaming. Oh, and nice to throw a little sexism in there too with the tennis wife comment. You're pathetic and don't have a clue as to the reality of incomes.
The truth lies between. Plenty of 500k families at JA. Plenty of "struggling" 200-250k, too. Many live in older homes that are 200-300k. I bet a substantial portion of the higher end flee for Madison, over the next 2-3 years. A few of the ones who are priced out of most inventory in Madison might bite the bullet and go to Brandon, where a decent home in a good neighborhood can be had for under 300, There's no way that I'd be subsidizing this radical, progressive, racially motivated mayor's agenda. Read his father's writings, then you'll get the constant mentioning of black cities. Gary, Indiana...wink, wink. It's all whitey's fault and he should shut up, smile and give up all his money to fix it. No thanks. I didn't know how much I loved Mayor Mary, until now.
If you have 2 kids and live in Jackson you will never make it financially. Private schools will eat you alive. You people in the burbs don't understand that this is the reason no middle class lives in Jackson. If I couldn't afford 3 private school tuitions and a comfortable lifestyle I would certainly live outside of the city as I find those schools to be very strong. I deal with those kids daily for ortho. I also drive to Madison as do most or at least many physicians in my group due to new facility near Madison exit.
this clown will , sooner or later, pull some stunt that will land him under federal indictment, just like our old friend frank melton. melton was a rightwing nut case , baby chock is a leftwing nut case. meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
The "demographic change" that Laura Ingraham expressed is really a demographic of economic system of belief.....and it's out: Socialism? or Capitalism? Let's get ready to rummmmmmmmmble!
Socialism = "Government" financial assistance from the cradle to the grave. No accountability, the more people dependent on assistance, the more power in government needed, and more opportunity for corruption.
Capitalism = Healthy/rational family planning that prepares children to complete their education, live within a budget, maintain gainful employment, strive to reach full potential as a self-sufficient, law-abiding citizen that contributes to their community as such.
Hmmmmm.....if the media gets its way, we're doomed. They need chaos
If sane and moral voters get their way, we'll reclaim an idea called America.
It's not about race. It's about self-determinism...which begins in the home with consistent healthy parenting. Otherwise, individuals unconsciously hate those parents for bringing them into the world and throwing them under the train by not teaching them what they need to know to be an INDEPENDENT, autonomous, productive citizen and human being.
Our next civil war approaches.
to august 9 at 11:18..........what a bozo you are. the haitian revolution has about as much to do with what goes on in the chicken manure town of jackson, as did the american revolution. id bet my last doller you could not even find haiti on a map. it is so hilarious to listen the uneducated goofballs around here talk about anything that goes on outside the state of mississippi much less in a foreign country. most people around here have maybe made it about as far as gulf shores alabama or to biloxi for black spring break. mississippians , both black and white, think puking up your guts on bourbon street is the cultural highlight of their lives.
1. The mayor's face hair makes him look like a goat
2. The mayor has no business experience, life experience, political experience, just a pampered badly educated brat.
3. The people of Jackson are getting what they voted for and are happy with it
4. Thursday for the city with soul...and no sense...cents.
Listen, clearly just my opinion here... let's try to have a United front & let people live where they choose without harassment and insulting there choices. I have friends in Jackson and Madison as well. Let's focus on improving our state and communities. Obviously those of us on here didn't vote for this crap. Let it be. There is already division no need to add more.
9:17:
...uneducated goofball = 'doller'...
Don Lemon ripped Laura Ingraham for thinking as a "white nationalist" for not mentioning Europeans overstaying their Visas. The only problem is that in the monologue that Lemon made referance to Ingrahan discussed the issue of Europeans overstaying their Visas in great detail and she protested the lack on enforcement on this point.
So...is Don Lemon as liar, is he incompetent, or both?
An observation:
It really ain't "socialism," "equality," and all that jazz when you're spending your days speaking from the lectern at the Riverside Hilton (with coffee, tea and light snack service), your nights eating at Emeril's, and then retiring to your riverview suite at that same Hilton (assuming the mayor stayed there, and if not, where?). If I were a earnest young reporter and had a blog, I might want to learn such things to see if the mayor's walk aligns with his talk, but I am not and and I do not.
As to those blathering on about communists, there really are no truly communist countries in the world, because just like Cuba and the Soviets/Russians, Korea and the Chinese, etc., you really aren't a communist, socialist, anti-fascist, etc., if your parents are paying all the bills - you're just mommy's special little leach.
@ 9:55
Don lemon is both... a liar as well as incompetent. It's hard to take him serious. His show is an opinion show therefore he is not a journalist. Same with Hannity he even says this. It's opinion not news. Therefore not journalism.
Oh please. Why not first give us a system capable of fixing a fu---k pothole.
I don't think Chokwe is a racist... I honestly believe he doesn't know what in the hell he is doing!
baby chock down in the big easy............ well shut my mouth! he sounds just like ray nagin, and we all know where he is.
1:45, you just said the scariest thing I’ve heard said and it has the ring of truth. True incompetence would be even more destructive.
"...a system that governs us?" Doesn't that come directly from a Fidel Castro speech circa 1988?
