Jackson Jambalaya

Waiting for the clarion ledger, local media, Mississippi Today and Jackson Free Press to condemn this racist nonsense. Any day now I’m sure they will be talking about this.

You know what Kingfish sometimes you a chicken macnugget chalkie i bet you eat mayo on wonderbread and drink skim milk from styofoam cups

Tell me 10:36 which of those named publications has remotely the influential wherewithal to make a difference even if they issued such a condemnation.

I listened to the first few minutes. I kind of agree with them that the belhaven wheelchair dog that was in the news shouldn’t be the highest priority for the Jackson public works. Take the damn dog to a park if his tiny wheelchair can’t make it over the street. There are plenty of roads in way worse shape that should be getting some attention.

What do you expect the voice of the poor and down-trodden black community in Jackson, Mississippi to sound like? Certainly not Melvin Priester. Kenny Stokes gives them a voice to blame other people and let off steam. People want that. Donald Trump does the exact same thing. If you can't see that you should work on your powers of observation, or your hearing.

Stokes be stoking the fires of hatred and racism within his base.

If he were white, this would be headlines on CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC, NY Times, immediately followed by left-wing Congress Critters and the two faux "reverends" flapping their jaws.

@11:05

So, you don't think these rants are racist?

If Donald Trump had a radio show and railed on blacks, then it would be an apples to apples comparison. This is pure, deep hearted racism from a pretend preacher and a crooked supe trying to keep their jobs. Crap like this shows why the "poor and down-trodden black community" will stay poor and down-trodden.

This is your typical racist black politician, just like the two "reverends."

Keep the poor and ignorant black citizens dependant on the government plantation to ensure your re-election.

If it's anti-white it can't be racist, right?

This really needs subtitles.

11:05, Add Booker, Warren, Harris, Castro, etc,, etc., to the list.

Poster Children of American Diabetes Association. I bet their cholesterol levels are higher than their credit scores(combined).

Has anyone alerted Jerry Mitchell to this open and obvious racism? Oh, wait... this isn’t the type he investigates...

I love this stuff. Kingfish won't approve overtly racist comments but he just lets these videos speak for themselves. Every stereotype you can imagine right there for our bemusement.

Some things will never change no matter how much you give or how hard you try to accommodate people. It will never be enough for greedy hogs like Kenny Stokes.

He wants everything he can take from white people but he hates us so much he can't stand the sight of us smiling. However, he knows he himself wouldn't have a damn thing without whites because he alone is a parasite incapable of producing anything more than fertilizer.

What do you suppose the Nielsen ratings are for this fine urban entertainment and information outlet?

@11:26, care to time stamp the racist part? I watched the first few minutes and didn’t hear anything controversial. I’m not going to listen to an hour of an AM radio show. Sorry but I work for a living. I do agree that overall, comparing Trump with Stokes is pretty accurate. They are more similar than different in their general philosophies.

Damn, some wise azz is using my handle.

Stokes and the Rev reach a far wider audience than you do Melvin with your stupid blabcast.

This is 11:05 again. Maybe it ruffles some people's feathers that their hero Trump is compared to Kenny Stokes but their basic technique is the exact same.Obviously their audiences expect the terminology to be either more subtle or more direct, depending on which guy is talking, but they appeal to the same emotions in their followers. Sometime they both say something useful, but their emotional appeal to a frustrated audience is their bread and butter. And they eat it up. Both play as close to the boundary of what they can get away with as possible. They know what they can get away with. And they eat it up. You eat it up.

Tell them Kenny "If they white they ain't right"

The Million dollar question can people of color be racist?

11:05, I hear what you're saying, and I think you have a valid point. BUT, Trump is routinely called out on it and blasted for it, as he should be. No one is calling these guys out, and that, I think, is a problem. This shouldn't be OK or get a pass just because they're black, or are somehow justified. They have a right to be wrong, but that doesn't make them right.

The folks that think there is nothing incorrect or offensive in these videos are just skinheads with different colored skin.

@12:07 PM "However, he knows he himself wouldn't have a damn thing without whites because he alone is a parasite incapable of producing anything more than fertilizer."

That is priceless! :)

1:14 - um, yes, and as a white person I've been systemically discriminated against in state government hiring/promotion practices. I competed against a black person with lesser education and a lower application score for an internal promotion, now she parades around the office, does nothing and will shout "racist" if anyone questions her piss-poor work product (we have to re-do all of her work). She can barely write or speak clearly and is an embarrassment to our external partners.

Also, listen to any of the inflammatory statements made by Farrakhan, Lumumba, Obama, Sharpton, Jackson, Booker, Harris, and so on and so forth. These folks introduced the concept of the "dog whistle" all the while making overtly racist statements against white folks, Jews, etc.

The new rule is that you can't criticize anyone black because it is immediately classified as racist, no matter the context and/or circumstances. And while I'm at it, there's no such thing as "reverse racism," its just racism.

The Million dollar question can people of color be racist?
No because racism requires institutional power. And institutional white supremacy has only victimized people of color. White people have benefited unfairly from institutional white supremacy.

What 1:45 is doing is a racist anecdote with no real evidence to back it up. He is more likely the bad employee which is why he is passed over but unfortunately is secure in a government job. He feels entitled because he is a white male.

In this modern era he is entitled to nothing. His children will have to compete even harder because immigrant children wont be as spoiled as his are and will put in twice as much effort.

The term "racism" does not apply to white people, since "white" is not a race. Racism is expressed by the powerful taking advantage of minorities. It's impossible to be racist against white people since they control the power structures in this country. Educate yourself.

Actually i agree with Stokes. Our church is in South Jackson close to 80 and Jackson State. They want to pave state street and the north side of town. You drive over to South Jackson you would think the place has been abandoned. I have to upgrade my suspension just to get to church from Terry and Raymond Road. And the people living over there have to deal with this crap. We have asked the city to fill 3 passive pot holes on paden street for 2 years now. Nothing they keep saying we are on the list. So the residents have to drive 1 mile an hour just to turn onto Raymond Road. So I hear Stokes and the Rev and tend to agree with them.

@2:15, this is 1:45, you are wrong on all counts. I never said I was entitled to anything, I'm objectively more qualified and have a better command of the subject matter we deal with. And I do have evidence...it just happens to be my paycheck, and the fact that I spend most of my days unscrewing all of her work and taking complaints from external partners which arise from her behavior. In fact, my agency director apologized to me after her appointment, telling me that even though I was more qualified and a better fit for the job, they had to put a black female in the position for optics and that he would make it up to me when he had a chance. So taxpayers are now paying two people to do a job because...racism.

And 2:18, you're wrong too - the textbook definition of racism is "prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior." There's no mention of power structure - that's something that's usually added to enhance a weak argument. As inconvenient as it may seem to you, racism cuts both ways; and, on nearly every form I fill out there's a space to identify your race, caucasian is one of them...

@2:15- if racism requires “institutional power”, how can the common white man on the street be labeled racist. He, as an individual how no “institutional power”. How can the common white man by labeled racist simply for the crime of criticizing something done or said by a person of color? Or, are supposed to just accept the concept that the color of my skin ALONE determines whether I’m racist? Further, will we white folks be allowed to claim “colored privilege” in another 10 years or so when the demographic of this country have shifted to the point where Caucasian people are the distinct minority? Won’t people of color then possess the “institutional power” and then automatically become racist by virtue of their skin color??

The city is 80% black, the mayor is black, save one the entire council is black, and they still want to blame whitey. If I were black I would be ashamed to admit that with all that power it is still whitey's fault. Doesn't say much for the competency of black leadership.

2:15 Bullshit! Institutional Power? What are you smoking? Black people often have power over the lives and welfare of whites and if they decide to treat them unfairly simply because of their race, that is racist, and they are practicing RACISM. In this day and age Black people have become presidents, managers, supervisors, directors etc. in case you haven't noticed, and they have just as much ability to hate or love as White people. Just because some race hustler told you that Black people are ALWAYS victims and White people are ALWAYS oppressors does not make it so! Institutional racism is a real and powerful thing, but racism begins in the heart of the individual and becomes effective depending on that person's influence and power over others. Black or White. Get serious.

Ok, so based on 2:18 and 3:09's facts and reasoning, whites in Jackson can claim racism against blacks because blacks control the power structures. Or, do you think that blacks in positions of power in Jackson are merely puppets of the white folks (this would validate your theory)? Go ahead and tell Kenneth Stokes that (preferably on camera)...

It also seems to me that blacks hold all of the power because even a hint of criticism, even if true, of a black person instantly labels you as racist...think about it, who really has the power??

3:09 is right. I have wondered why, if they hold all the power, the whites are still responsible for everything. If they are just puppets, as some have suggested, isn't that an indictment of those who knuckle under?

Mwa-ha-ha! My plan is working -- you all hate each other!

Behold white fragility manifest! It's not fun having a taste of your own medicine is it? The rulers of tomorrow are watching how you treat them and their parents today.

Remember that white people. They aren't going to forget when they are the hiring managers or the judges?

Racicism is an entity of politics. What we are dealing with on an individual level is bigotry and it obviously knows no color....

Yep, this is what what propels whites and blacks to hate each other... both sides.

I actually opened this article thinking it would be about the Columbus radio show on WACR, which used to be hosted by MS House of Representatives member Kabir Karriem and crew. Every show was always the same thing, and only served to spread speculation and "she saids" with no proof. At the time he was a city councilman who had been arrested for domestic violence against his daughter, his co-host brother was a convicted felon and bigamist whose womanizing got a police officer and the woman's husband shot, and claimed/may actually be a Reverend of a church.

The show did nothing but create a wider division, and give him the name recognition to get elected to the House, where he went to work to restore voting rights to convicted felons.

God help us!
Those with a log in their eye can see only the log in someone else's eye.
I condemn those in both races who have made their careers on racism .

Judging an entire race or religion on the behavior or words of those who are either ethically bereft ,intellectually challenge or mentally ill is racism. Every race has those categories of people.

These men either are doing this for perceived personal gain or they are mentally ill or poorly educated but then so are many of those commenting. And, the list of those of other races and religions doing the same are growing larger these days thanks to unethical politics and foreign interference/agitation.

I would point out to these men, since I will nicely assume they don't know any better and have been misled, that any city government needs to be aware of and protect their tax base. I would remind these men ( and you white racists) to look at households and employment statistics in figuring the percentage of whites in Jackson. Children under 18 don't vote and don't pay taxes.

As for roads, the main arteries come first because EVERYONE uses them! Then, some priority has to be given to the areas with the highest tax contribution because the businesses and residents will leave if you don't address their legitimate issues. If they leave, you can't fix any roads.

That may seem unfair to these men, but someone should have told you that life isn't fair. And, if you don't work on your own behalf to improve your circumstances, it will be harder and less fair. That is the human condition. You depend on the kindness of others or on yourself. The latter works better. But, I would also suggest to you that you are short-sighted and working against the long term interests of those you pretend to protect if you are using and misleading those you claim to defend. Focus on problem solving not fanning the flames of discontent.

"We have asked the city to fill 3 passive pot holes on paden street for 2 years now."

That's terrible. If only you had a black mayor, or a black majority of city council, or the heads of Public Works and other relevant city organizations, then those pot holes would be filled immediately!

Those white debbils must hate the people of Paden Street. I can't think of any other possible explanation for this.....
