Jackson Jambalaya

Love him or hate him, you have to admit that Antard is the cream of this crop.

If i lived in Jackson, I would be voting for Shafeqah “BigMama” Lodree. I can imagine her not putting up with the shenanigans currently taking place in the city. I bet she will be cross between DC’s Catwoman and Frank Melton.

What in the actual f***

No one qualified to run against the Queen up in Madison. So much for all the talk about a backlash for her medical marijuana lawsuit.


:)

Looks like more of the same. You gotta wonder why voters continue to vote for people who despise them. This has been talked about at great length here on the JJ. After what Jackson has been through and the incompetence that has reared its ugly head on a seemingly daily basis one hast to wonder ( Is There Any Intelligence Life living In Jackson)

I think this is what's called, 'VOTER NULLIFICATION".

Lee was the chance to get it right. Insolvency, here we come!

I hear a democrat is running against Sandra Strain.

I'm not even sure why republicans attempt to run for the Major of Jackson. The R by their name means they will never win, as Jackson is made up of a majority of D for life voters.

Vote 4 Big Mama!

Can she be any worse than the current mayor? I think not.

Somehow Les Tannyhill has figured out how to make money from running for office. This is stupider than running for sherriff.

I'm not even sure why democrats attempt to run for any statewide office in Mississippi. The D by their name means they will never win, as Mississippi is made up of a majority of R for life voters.

One-party rule works both ways, 12:46 pm. But if they want to waste their time and other people's money, who cares?

Because, 1:50, if AA's would get off their collective asses and vote, this would be a solid blue state. If 1 out of FIVE whites voted D, the R's would be toast.

@1:50 That's not the point. The point is whether the voters are voting in their own best interest. What do you have to show for your vote?

Jackson voters might want to rethink their loyalty.

Talk about the incompetence of Jackson leadership and how the state should take over but in the same breath will mention how state leadership is incompetent as well... Interesting.

Is the guy named Fireman or is that his current position?

“if AA's would get off their collective asses and vote, this would be a solid blue state”

Yeah, and if a bullfrog had wings, it wouldn't bump its ass when it hopped.

GTFOH.

Black Mississippians have shown in the last 3 out of 4 presidential elections alone that they will shatter previous turnout records when they have a candidate who speaks to them and their concerns directly. Hell, we came out in the middle of a goddamn pandemic to vote for Biden and Espy in person because we don’t have no-excuse early voting like many other states. But who has the State Democratic Party nominated recently worth caring about? A corrupt mayor in 2011, and a truck driver in 2015 who was so unqualified he didn’t even vote for himself? Former A.G. Jim Hood was arguably the best gubernatorial Democratic candidate we’ve had in 20 years. He made it a relatively close race, but he played himself by keeping a distance from all black people during the campaign so as not to counter his “good old country white boy with a pickup truck” image and risk offending the rural whites who supported him in the past. And he still lost a lot of them anyway, thanks in part to Donald Trump stumping for Reeves.

Some of my friends who aren’t from here and don't understand our racially divided politics point to Georgia turning blue last year as hope that things can change here soon. And I point out to them that Georgia is a very different case. Georgia just barely went blue this time, and it remains to be seen how sustainable that is. It happened this time because the Democrats ran a good ground game in several urban centers across the state led by Stacy Abrams, and the Atlanta metro is what turned the tide. In contrast, Mississippi is a very rural state that lacks many highly populated urban centers. There has been a massive shift in whites moving away from the Democratic Party statewide, and conservative rural whites here are now fiercely loyal to the GQP. Even if every black of voting age population could vote, they still a numerical minority and don’t have the benefit of having an equal number of educated progressive urban whites to join with them in the voting booth. African Americans in Mississippi understand that conservative white people will come out of the woodwork to vote against anyone who appears to be an ally.

And don’t even get me started on the legal impediments that are routinely placed on AAs intended to disqualify a significant number of them from voting. I’ve given responding to your insulting comment WAY more energy than it deserved. We are doing our part. Focus on getting that "1 out of 5 whites voting D" if you want Mississippi to go light blue in our lifetimes. So, consider all of that before you try to low key label us as lazy again.

Well 9:15, people take a good look at Jackson and Voting District 2 and realize what would happen if the state went Blue.

Damn @9:15 your right out of a comic book. And just who are those Democratic Candidates that spoke to you and your concerns? And what were those concerns? And just how much better off did your leaders make life for you? You speak of a corrupt mayor and an unqualified truck driver, did you vote for them as well? Or were the promises to small. Your racist tendency came out in your next paragraph and not vaguely. You really think that democrats ran a good ground and that Stacy Abrams turned the tide ? Man you truly are a mushroom and we all know how mushrooms grow.

If you really want to read about that awesome ground game your democrats ran there’s an article in Time called (The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election) you should read it. And if you do and your not seriously applaud by the corruption your party is capable of then you as the voters in Jackson truly deserve what you get! Enjoy

A comic book, 3:15? Now you know those are much too advanced for you, given your reading comprehension probably hasn’t progressed much past first grade.

Returning to the topic, RE: Jackson’s leadership, the city’s problems are far too massive in scope for any single Mayor to solve in 4 years. I’m no fan of Lumumba, but I think the City could have chosen far worse.

Also, 9:15, if AA's would get off their collective asses and vote, this would be a solid blue state. If 1 out of FIVE whites voted D, the R's would be toast.

LOL! Okay, Bernie Bro @ 3:44/5:40. I see you.
