Jackson Jambalaya

Most truthful politico in Jackson's black community. John Horhn deserves honorable mention.

Stokes has been an elected official for going on 30 years. What problem in Jackson has he solved?

@12:37
At this point I think all that any politician in Jackson is slow the sinking ship as much as possible so that people can escape. When the criminals outnumber the innocent, what can you do?

This is more authentic and more likely to make a positive impact than anything Super Talk has ever done.

Well Mr. stokes the students that attend the several charter schools in your ward did it fail a reading test. You do have several charter schools in your district and those students live in your ward and do well on test

I meant to say all that any politician in Jackson can do is slow the sinking ship

During the pandemic "shut downs" the jackasses who run JPS decided that it was more important to follow the lead of the teacher's unions in big urban districts than to look out for their deprived "scholars". When the rest of Mississippi was in school they sheltered at home for a year like Chicago, LA, Baltimore, etc. Of course they flunk the tests. Now many of these kids who's only safety net was the schools will fall through. But they can always blame it on Trump.

Stokes needs to learn to focus on a few facts along with his rants. Yes, he is right to rant on and on about the failure of JPS to educate the children. Yes, he is right to rant about crime, and the failure of Jackson to spend the money that they have to hire more polilce. And yes, he is right to tell his folks that they have to pay their water bill or ---- finally, finally, after his and other councilpeople's attempt to keep the water from being cut off the city is going to do the unthinkable. Cut off the water to people that aren't paying their bills.

Yes, he got many off the water rolls for years - he damn near admits it here saying that it won't do any good for them to call him anymore when they come to cut off their water, they do it 'downtown' and he can't do anything about it anymore.

But, he loves to focus on Belhaven, Fondren, etc as if they are the problem. Here he claims that those areas in the CCID - which he names but also includes his fav, Eastover, which is not in the CCID. Minor detail but why should he worry about it while he rants about the white areas that are keeping the city afloat with their tax dollars.

But he claims that the attempt by the 'people on High Street' - i.e. the state government - is attepting to create a separate judicial district. Which they should. But he states that would remove the tax dollars of Belhaven, Fondren, Eastover from the city and it would financially break the city. Nothing is further from the truth; the attempt to create a new judicial district for the crimes committed within the CCID would do nothing to the taxes that are paid by those folks; we would still be paying a large majority of what he and his collegues waste annually.

1. Stokes is right about smoking embalming fluid dipped joints: it's a national trend among inner city youth, also mixed with PCP. Of course victims get to mainline it at the undertakers.

2. Vouchers and parental choice of schools can improve scholastic performance and weaken abominable Teachers' Unions .

3. Cops, undercover and uniformed, should Stop And Frisk (SAF) to remove illegal guns, but be prepared to fight ACLU.

4. Replace Lil Choke with Aaron Banks for a vast improvement.

I remember a few things about Stokes. He told the people to throw rocks, bricks, and stones at the police. Now he wants help from those same police departments.

He was the first to say people should not pay their water bills. Now look what happened.

Eastover has more Millionaires in their area than any other place in Mississippi. That being said the Former Terrorists son who is now mayor needs to heed that and THEY keep jackson afloat along with Woodland Hills.

If a lil criminal wants to smoke his joint dipped from a dead persons juice..oh my, don’t let me go there. Embalming fluid is for one purpose. Let that stay there. The cultural problem in Jackson is all over the nation. We just need to realize that. A cultural problem . I know KF doesn’t like exclamation marks or capitalized letters but sometimes I need to do that to make my point. And I apologize .

4. Replace Lil Choke with Aaron Banks for a vast improvement.

Got my vote.

Literacy is racist.

3:25 Try to understand that Kenneth is not elected year after year for his wisdom or his results. He is elected because his people think he cares about them. That's more than they can say about the mayor or most of the other ineffective "leaders' they have elected.

The more I listen to him, The wiser I understand Stokes to be. He cares, too.

"Well Mr. stokes the students that attend the several charter schools in your ward did it fail a reading test. You do have several charter schools in your district and those students live in your ward and do well on test"

Next time try it in English. Sheesh.......

Kenneth I Stokes & David L Archie cares about the community.
Stokes is Lumumba thorn.
Archie is Calhoun thorn.

If Stokes and Archie (and of course, Graham the Legend) are the 'good' choices, Jackson is doomed.

Getting a different Mayor what solve the problem in Jackson, citizens are their problem if minds and hearts what change it will still have same problem with any Mayor

Fish rot from head down. Aaron Banks has expressed practical positions and ideas, Lil Choke drag-struts as a weird type of marxist woke glamour queen which performance involves circuitous oral flatulence and flying off to radical summits as a substitute for practical management of basic mayoral duties in a sinking city.

I'd like Aaron Banks to challenge our empress tadpole fake mayor.

Stokes "cares" about his constituents? Please tell me what he's actually accomplished in the name of his constituents. Remember, he's been in various offices for upwards of 30 years.

Tell me what he has accomplished. One thing?

To 9:15 AM.....agree with every word of your post.

10:12 Once again, try to understand that Kenneth's accomplishments are not what gets him elected. He has accomplished damn little. But his opponents and fellow officials have done damn little or nothing, so his constituents don't expect much. But they think Kenneth cares and for them that's more than they get from the others. These are mostly people who have no faith in the system and damn little influence over it. Maybe someday they'll get somebody who cares about them as people and brings home the bacon too, but for now they got Kenneth.
