Jackson Jambalaya

I saw Lumumba on the Friday night local news and he had his black lives matter mask on. This idiot doesn't have a clue how many people get turned off by that crap and refuse to ever stop in Jackson. Keep driving whitey away fool.

The City of Jackson "leaders" have made it clear that they don't want white businesses or residents. Otherwise, they would do something about the criminals and thugs.

That is all

If you've been paying attention, you know that Dollar Generals all over this state have become a target of choice for crime. In the arena of crime, they've become the liquor stores of the sixties.

Lumumba hates white people. Lumumba just wants to get his hands on white people's money and property. He is a Marxist racist.

It's become obvious, in Jackson no lives matter.

It’s pitiful that people on here think it’s a good idea to make false attacks on Mayor Lumumba for a crime that happened in Raymond, not Jackson. You are dead wrong that the Mayor “hates white people.” He is a close friend to me, a white person. Also, JPD is working closely with the U. S. Marshalls, FBI, and ATF to arrest the criminals committing violent crimes in Jackson. These crimes have increased in part because of COVID- 19. Nobody wants the criminals in Jackson arrested more than the Mayor.

9;53 Raymond ROAD not the town, Did not know the mayor's sister read this blog.

@9:53 - The Dollar General on Raymond ROAD is, in fact, in Jackson. Try again.

@9:53 AM - Check your attitude, or at least read a friggin' map. Dollar General, 648 Raymond Road, Jackson, MS is in the....wait for it...CITY OF JACKSON.

Yes, he is a racist marxist, and his token white friends are what Lenin called - "useful idiots."

9:53- Murders are up due to the virus - what a load of crap!!! Murders are up because their is an ever increasing number of people within a certain culture who could care less about anyone else. And all these additional law enforcement personnel may be brilliant at solving a crime once it is committed, but they will be helpless to prevent them. Crime has become a way of life for these people.

"These crimes have increased in part because of COVID- 19." That is a bad, bad, bad, bug.

JPD is not working closely with anyone. Not JPD's fault. Just poor leadership.

and Jackson leadership has been running white people out of Jackson for decades. It's why it's called white "flight". Now, not even black-owned businesses want to co-op for the city.

9:53, so you support Lumumba's Jackson Kush Plan?

9:53. Going for satire? It worked.

Will you guys just admit that you want Jackson to burn because it’s majority democrat and black? Your comments make it painfully obvious. Why don’t you guys at least be honest about it instead of pretending like you want the city to succeed, which is clearly not the case.

Yes, Jackson needs to just go ahead and fail. It’s inevitable, so the quicker the better.

12:31 - We do want Jackson to succeed. Why wouldn't we? If for no other reason it is the capital city of the state. But we see the obvious. It is not going to succeed under the current circumstances.

Everyone needs TO CALM DOWN! 2020 will be over soon and 2021 offers a world of opportunity to set a new record. Many who practice the pastime of killing each other are working on their new year's resolutions as we read.

There sure are some racist folks on here

There are certainly some deep rooted racists on here —- that absolutely hate white people.
Look me in the eyes and tell me you don’t think Lamumba and Stokes are not racist !!!!

December 5, 2020 at 12:31 PM; we're not the racists here. you are. we don't want to see jackson burn down because nearly every elected official is black, or the city is majority black. we don't want to see jackson burn down for any reason. and in case you haven't been watching the news all year, it ain't the republicans and conservatives burning shit to the ground. we all want jackson to succeed because it is in the best interest of Jacksonians, those of us that live in the suburbs surrounding jackson, and the state as a whole. if the democrats running jackson weren't running it into the ground, then more people will stay.

the issues of systemic racism, white flight, whitey, etc, etc is blamed for jackson's problems, instead of where the blame lies; shitty infrastructure, shitty school system, shitty judicial system, ridiculously high murder rate, high violent crime, high taxes, and inept leadership. blaming others instead of their own policies seems to be an olympic sport for democrats. if none of these were issues, like they aren't where i currently live, then my family would have stayed in "The Fondren." we liked our neighbors, we liked the neighborhood. we liked being close to everything. we also liked being one of only 2 or 3 houses on the entire street that had not been broken into. thank you, big dog Muddy. but there comes a point where enough is enough. not saying there is no crime where i live, but we damn sure don't have a record high murder rate in a city losing residents as fast as they can get out.

the solutions to these problems are well known but they require work on the part of "the community." start with having some damn self respect, respect for others, and respect for your surroundings. those three things will fix everything. respect for yourself; don't have kids out of wedlock, stay in school, get an education, trade school, work on improving yourself because you are worth investing in. respect for others; treat others like you want to be treated, don't shoot anybody (sounds simple enough, but i guess not), don't knock up chicks left and right, and disappear to knock up the next one. if you do have babies then stick around and raise them. children need a mother and father. respect for your surroundings; take care of your house, your yard, cleanup your street, don't litter going down the road. other things apply, but respecting yourself, others, and your surroundings are crucial. without these, nothing will work. nothing.

but you don't want to hear from whitey on solutions to fix the black community's problems. after all, according to you and much of the elected black leadership, and white liberals, it's all whitey's fault in the first place. so yeah, there's a lot of apathy, lack of concern, or willingness to help jackson, because jackson doesn't seem too interested in helping herself.

Oh the race card. It's so inevitable. Tsk, tsk.

I'll chime here. Do I think the Mayor is racist per se? No. He's not afraid to hire whites. He hired a white PW director. He did not get rid of Raff but when he passed, replaced him with another white person. He hired a white Planning & Zoning Director. He appoints whites to Boards and Commissions. He has appointed white municipal court judges. However, he also ran all the whites out of the JPD command staff. He also likes them to know their place a la Virgi.

Compare his hiring record of whites to his immediate predecessor. Mayor Yarber didn't hire whites to any position. Period. Vance appointed several to his command staff but that was Vance's doing, not a micromanaging Mayor's office as we have now. Except for a certain zoo board appointment, he didn't appoint whites to boards & commissions. He attempted to appoint one to the JMAA board but he said out loud at a City Council meeting he was doing it in an attempt to placate the Republicans in the legislature who were in the middle of taking over the airport.

You nailed it.

To be clear, I'm referring to Lumumba's father, the deceased former mayor. I have a friend who knew the elder Lumumba who told him point blank, "I hate all white people. They are a b@stard race."

You can believe that Baby Chok is a racist, but he has to keep it in check for the time being. Does anyone really believe that the Republic of New Afrika organization isn't racist, his beloved organization, just like his father?

Kingfish...What you have just pointed out is nothing more than an acknowledgement that Chokwe, the younger, has only appointed (hired) white men to the several, very few, positions that are critical...planning and zoning and public works. The others, as many as forty, require nothing more than getting dressed and attending a thing or two and drawing a bi-monthly check while accumulating PERS credits. Prove me wrong!

How many "no show" jobs has Baby Chok filled?

Crime is out of control because there’s no deterrent. JPD is woefully understaffed, and when they do manage to catch someone, the laughable justice system puts them right back on the street.

Baby Chok has shut down city hall. I wonder how many no-show employees will not be legal?

5:41 Thank you!

Our mayor puts one color above all others. Green. Our mayor puts one future above all others. His.

Unfortunately I feel he will walk over the charred waste and dead bodies of the community he vowed to protect.... to his ENVISIONED future on a national stage.

I know he is smart enough to realize what he is doing. He and so many of our leaders sold their souls and sold ALL OF US out for personal gain.

What a disgusting sad waste. I don’t know how our elected officials can pass our darling, children playing outside their schools on their pathetic playgrounds and not hang their heads in shame.

4:51 -- EXACTLY RIGHT.

Some thoughts...
What about pride of person and pride of place? What about manners? Why would one throw trash on the ground in the parking lot of a UMMC clinic? Why would one take the Home Depot buggy and, instead of walking it to the return area, just push it hard enough to slam into the wall of the store? Why would one block the entire aisle at the Kroger with one's shopping cart? Why would one race down I55 at 90 MPH weaving in and out all the way? Why would one not say "thank you" when whitey holds the door open for one?

I could go on and on.
I have had it. Am so glad we got out of Jackson in 2003, but I still have to work in town every day and "put up with it." Can't work late at my office anymore because I am afraid of getting murdered.

Fed up.

Politics is one of the few jobs where you can fail over and over again and still have your job.

Most politicians are useless but walk around like like they are saving humanity.
