Watch this video of an interview Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba gave to the progressive Democracy Now website on March 17. What is wrong with this picture?
Airport revenue is used in the city budget? Really? Um, not so fast, my friend. The law requires airport revenue to stay at the airport. The money never sees the city budget The only thing the city gets from the airport is sales tax revenue. and that is because the airport is in the city of Jackson. Jackson will continue to receive that revenue if the state completes its takeover. To say the city relies on the airport revenue is not even disingenuous. Once again, his assertion again does not square with the facts.
Just curious. What other resources does the state "strip away" from Jackson?

Also, and not being reported, is his conversation with Delbert regarding the airport was almost TWO YEARS AGO, and way before this water issue meltdown. The Lumumba Liar acted and stated it was a braining chip by Delbert for infrastructure help. He is embarrassing as he truly is a liar, pure and simple (but boy he sounds good).
Big Mama for mayor!
No matter what a person says about the mayor lies, that person will not be believed by the majority of citizens of Jackson. And if your white it will be doubled disbelieved.
Well at least I didn't hear him say "right ?" after every sentence.
But I think I did count about eleven "Ah's"
This lil' Mayor is still butt-hurt at folksy Dilbert for teaming up with Stokes on recent local news segment ... when those two joined forces to deliver safe water to Jacksonians.
As most know, this is nothing more than the standard political ploy to play to both his current base and the base he hopes to attract as he chases his national aspirations. He (the City of Jackson) has to play the victim, because if there isn't anyone / anything out there from whom his constituencies need "protection," then his constituents don't need him. He's GOT to continue making all of Jackson's problems sound like someone else's fault, because then he can make it appear the people need HIM to protect them and fix the problems.
Unfortunately, this happens with both parties, but my observation is that it's an order of magnitude more prevalent with the democrat party. They have considerably more "takers" than the Republican party, so it tends to make sense.

H*ll, he's running for Bennie's seat and Bennie ain't even done yet.
Breaking news: Incompetent mayor lies
And here is the breaking news for June 8, 2021: Incompetent mayor of Jackson wins re-election
Did Chowkey send a correction to CNN?
And lastly, the City of Jackson provides water to the State of Mississippi in terms of state facilities at no cost to the State of Mississippi.
If we merely have revenue from the water that we generate or produced to them, then we would be in a lot better place.
You know what’s not a lie? You being a bitch. It’s very truthful, actually. Coz you are.
When it comes to Chokwe Antar Lumumba being the "Credible Messenger"....Chokwe Antar.....you are NOT the "Credible Messenger"!!
Jackson Kush Plan
Damn @4:48. You have someone you have in mind or are you just talking to the mirror? Anyway it seems the leader in Jackson is nothing more than a modern day flim flam man. Perhaps if everyone just agrees with the Chokwe (aka) the greatest victim of the system ever, he could in a few years actually step in his own tongue. There have been much smarter scam artist than he who have talked themselves into a shiny new pair of federal handcuffs. Usually the term open mouth insert foot applies when a specific moron simply stretches the truth beyond belief. Things get a lot more sticky when a big mouth and equally inflated ego moves large amounts of money in directions even the most uneducated person would know could get them thrown in the slammer. It doesn’t seem as though the mayor is aware ...... of anything!
Well, if he takes Bennie’s job, he can’t do any worse!!!
...and this guy is a “lawyer”. Geez, he’s dumb.
"Well, if he takes Bennie’s job, he can’t do any worse!!!" And he will be long gone from here.
All you folks that think he will "take Bennie's job" not only think like Chokwe, but you also don't realize there is a very large portion of the 2nd CD that is not in Jackson - and they aren't particularly fascinated with the kush plan, or Antwar.
He thinks he is sitting back waiting for Bennie to kick the bucket (cause he sure ain't going anywhere as long as the Dems control the House) but there are plenty of folks north and south of Vicksburg from one end of Highway 61 to the othern that have other ideas in mind.
Who is running that's better than Lumumba?
Speakin of water
Can anyone explain why they are still having daily bottled water distributions in Jackson
Is water service still suspended for some Jacksonians?
Whoever called him a 'flim flam man' pegged his persona precisely.
He’s probably wondering why he can’t get anyone to work with him. Poor guy has no training or ability to negotiate. He has the Lt gov and Cindy Hyde willing to help and he goes out and down talks them in the middle of it. He needs to watch other mayors and local officials. They work with the leadership. They may not agree but they don’t trash talk the folks they need help from. They are professional, they hire lobbyist that can gain access, and they take a business approach to winning the day. Win the day man! Learn to win the day! I don’t think he knows how!
THIS MSNBC interview from March 24th. Chowkey leads the audience right to the edge of believing that the physical located placement of OB Curtis, and I suppose the reservoir itself, was racist.
Lumumba: As systems came back on, it was the more affluent and often white areas that had either low water pressure to be restored earlier or to have their water restored sooner than-- than the other areas. Because those communities are closest to the water treatment facility. They're closest to the river.
There are justice and equity issues here, but it's not because you have a city that is choosing to flip the white switch versus the Black switch of water. It's because when the city was laid out, there were all kinds of considerations that, you know, supported one community over another.

I'd give Ken Wilson a shot.
Baby Chok despises anyone who isn't a Soros/Bloomberg/MalcolmX lap boy, right?
9:25. I do not know who is better but if Jackson ( and they will) elect this lying fool again it will be so far gone there cannot be revised. It is at the tipping point now, elect him and it is gone. Period

Because people want to give out water.
Some of you don't seem to know that Bennie Thompson doesn't represent ALL of Jackson, just most of it.
That was to carve out a majority Black district that would prevent more minority representation but get the Feds off Mississippi's backs.
I doubt the district is dumb enough to replace a Congressman with enough longevity to have clout with a newbie.
It's the potential for the development on the airport land that's the reason...not sale revenue from the airport but the opportunity for future sales revenue after development plans which would also make the first impression of MS much worse and look more redneck if those who are salivating to implement their plans win.
"There are justice and equity issues here, . . . It's because when the city was laid out, there were all kinds of considerations that, you know, supported one community over another"
Jackson's water infrastructure problems cannot be due to both white flight and racism/white privilege when the city was laid out.
First of all, south Jackson, which seems to have been affected the most, had not even been annexed yet when the city was laid out.
Second, the white fliers were the very people who (presumably) would have served themselves first when the water infrastructure was laid. Many of the places where they used to live are now occupied by black communities impacted by the water crisis.
That argument may be legitimate for areas of New Orleans that flooded after Hurricane Katrina, but it does not apply to Jackson. I'm not sure what grates on me worse; the mayor's seeming belief that he is super-smart (conceit), or that we are super-dumb (arrogance).
Ken Wilson for Jackson mayor. I just saw photos of city (chokwe) trucks removing Ken Wilson’s signs.
