Jackson Jambalaya

I would enjoy watching this but I dumped faceberg 5 years ago. They should consider using multiple platforms

Is this a video tutorial on black racism?

Only answer is get far away.

Ben Allen and the CID crowd could take a much needed lesson from Kenny Stokes on conservative tax policy.

Before dismissing him as a complete idiot and those who vote for him as bigger idiots please use occasions like this to understand the Stokes technique. Kenny forms a personal bond with the people in his ward and around the city. He sends them letters, goes to funerals and their social events, shares their frustrations. In other words he earns their personal trust. Poor Black voters believe the system is against them anyway and they won't benefit from any election anyway, so all they have is trust. And they TRUST Kenny. He may not be particularly effective for them but he sure seems to care, and for these people that is unusual. Like Trump Kenny knows his base and how to reach them.

You are absolutely correct. And I will admit that I'm "white folk" and I adore Kenny and enjoy his antics. It's their city now and he knows who is voters are.

To me, he has replaced Alex Jones as a delightfully paranoid entertainer.

It's much more entertaining when you know it's a show. Enjoy it.

Ashby Foote doesn't demonstrate 1/100th of an interest in the challenges faced by the people of Ward 1. He sure as fuck doesn't share an iota of our frustrations.

8:55 AM, you make too much sense to be commenting on this blog. It's theater. Politics is theater. Once you accept that your life improves.

This is your Jackson Leadership. But again after meeting his wife Kenny is the brains of the family

"Stokes Unplugged" gave the impression that Kenneth got locked up in city hall. Then Kenneth came down with diarrhea and then crapped all over city hall. Oh wait Kenneth already crapped all over Jackson. Never mind nothing to see here.

@9:22AM
That's probably Kenny himself posting out of character.

I made it through about 15 minutes. My jive is really rusty.

Hownis this racist BS not being made more public by local news sources?

Donna, I’m waiting for an answer...

Another Day in Trump’s America

The video in 1:33 pm says it all. They would not be in office if everyone could just get along, at least most of the time.

Let's see if this one will get posted...

Why is this "reverend" so hateful, as so many Black men of the cloth are? Does the term "reverend" take on a different meaning here? Does it even have ecclesiastic connotations?

For those that have not watched the Jackson City Council meetings, or listened in on Sunday mornings to these two with their racist rants, this video should be enlightening. If this is your first time, don't think that there is anything unusual about this - in fact, generally when the election season gets more into full swing, their racist crap is much stronger than this mild show.

But for the first time probably ever I found two things that I actually agree with Kenneth Stokes about: One Block East has (or at least, had) good food. And (2) the CID legislation being fostered on the city by Senator Michel (now that he has moved to Madison, so it won't affect him) and Credel Calhoun is a bunch of s**t. Trying to increase taxes and turn it over to Home Owners Associations or Neighborhood Associations to decide how to spend it, but with the City of Jackson actually doing the spending, is barely short of criminal.

Cant believe that Kenneth Stokes has a more conservative tax policy than some of our NE Jackson "republicans". Well, yes - on reflection, its no surprise.

@612 - I trust my neighborhood association to help me preserve the value of my home much more than the city. You should come drive down the roads to get to my house and tell me if you would buy there. Unfortunately, it’s the only way to get proper maintenance in neighborhoods. I don’t want to pay more tax either, but at least I’ll be glad that it will go directly to my hood, and not more money to civil dispute programs.

800, then feel free to contribute all you want to your beloved neighborhood association. I, though. Do not want a group of people I have no say so over who they are, or what they do, spending money taken from me through taxation. Further, the tax money will still be spent by the city, not the association under this law. Subject to all the city's minority benefit programs, delays and inadequate inspection.
