Well, well, well, it seems a simple post by local restauranteur Jeffrey Good stirred up a hornet's nest among Mayor Lumumba's supporters online. Mr. Good posted this statement on Facebook on March 23:
Everywhere I go, people are talking about the Mayor’s race.So, I’ve put together this quick post—easy to share on your feed and discuss around the dinner table.PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO READ AND SHARE… and most importantly, VOTE ON APRIL 1ST!Jackson’s Democratic primary for Mayor and all seven City Council seats takes place on Tuesday, April 1st.All Jackson voters can participate in the Democratic primary, as it traditionally determines the city’s next mayor.In Ward 1, many Republicans are used to voting in their party’s primary. However, there is NO Republican candidate for City Council this year! The incumbent, Ashby Foote, previously elected as a Republican, is now running as an independent.This means for the first time in decades, ALL voters from Northpointe in North Jackson, to Alta Woods in South Jackson, are free to participate in the Democratic primary on April 1st, where the city’s leadership is likely to be decided.THE RUN-OFF – Tuesday, April 22ndIf no candidate wins more than 50% of the vote on April 1st, the top two vote-getters will advance to a run-off election on April 22nd.THE GENERAL ELECTION – Tuesday, June 3rdThe general election will take place on June 3rd. This is when independent candidates—who do not participate in the primary process—will officially appear on the ballot.WHY VOTING ON APRIL 1st MATTERSIf you want to see change in the city’s leadership, voting in the Democratic primary on Tuesday, April 1st, is crucial. The current administration has been in office for eight years, and many believe it’s time for new leadership. Because the Democratic nominee will be a frontrunner in the general election, your vote in the primary is one of the most powerful ways to shape Jackson’s future.Make your voice heard—vote on Tuesday, April 1st!
Well, that didn't sit well with one Othor Cain - a known supporter of Jackson Mayor Chokwe Lumumba. He responded with a screed of his own soon afterwards:
This post is exactly why it is important for citizens in Wards 3/4/5/6 SHOW UP AT THE POLLS ON TUESDAY APRIL 1.There are NO REPUBLICANS running for City Council in Ward 1 because they recognize that they no longer have the POWER OF INFLUENCE in Jackson.It really is a DUMB strategy and as a result, I believe that Ashby Foote will be the sacrificial lamb.Desperate to control the mayor’s seat in Jackson, they are going to great lengths to sway voters.Don’t be fooled by these “wordy” posts disguised by pretending to be concerned that “we all vote.” Look at earlier endorsements and press conferences; follow the money.I be damn if I sit idly by and watch this happen without saying something.The mayor’s seat in Jackson is NOT FOR SALE.Ask yourselves these questions:1) Why is the seat so important?2) Why the hard push from the other side of the tracks?3) Why all of a sudden are they so heavy into pushing that “we” all vote?4) Why do they want a mouth piece so desperately, now?5) Why is “their” candidate paying people to attack me?6) For 32 years, “their” candidate supposedly has had all of these relationships and has done NOTHING IN NOR FOR Jackson, why?7) Do we really believe just because they are pushing a state senator, that things will all of a sudden turn around in Jackson?8. Should we not be concerned that if their candidate is elected, he will simply conform to the Republican establishment? It has been proven.9) I have never seen such a blatant and racist attempt to gain the mayor’s seat with a black man from those in Northeast Jackson.10. Don’t be fooled by posts like these…is this a real push to get ALL of Jackson to the polls or just those that they want to show up?
Others such as our old friend Kamikaze voiced similar sentiments online. Make no mistake, they simply do not think whites living in Jackson should have the right to vote in city elections as they pull out all the stops to demonize whites and suppress their vote. This is the same Mr. Cain who raised hell when the City Council elected Ashby Foote as president. He simply could not believe a white man was City Council president in an 85% black city and said so. Progress, baby!
Well, we have some news for Mr. Cain. Whites are only 15% of the vote in Jackson. That's it. They can't control anything. No matter who they support, the majority of the winning candidate's voters will be black. Period.
Mr. Horhn won all wards and beat the Mayor by at least a 2:1 margin in each ward. If Ward 1's results were removed, the veteran legislator would still have gotten 44% of the vote. John Horhn's dominance in the April Fool's Day primary might have caused these clowns to think twice but such is not the case.
There is no plot for Republicans to control Jackson. There haven't been secret meetings. The only thing white voters want is for the city to work. That means pick up the garbage every damn week, make sure the water runs, the sewer works, have the police protect us from crime, get the wild pit bulls out of the streets, and give us some decent parks. They want a city they can be proud of and call home. You know who else wants those things? Black voters.
These neo-segregationists ignore the bi-racial support for the Mayor's opponent while using the same language seen 70 years ago. When reading the shrieks about the honky vote online, just remember who called who "goons and coons."

If you organized every “Republican” vote in Jackson you can barely win ward 1 much less the mayor’s race. This is just race baiting.
Othor & Kaz hopefully have burned their bridge in Jackson & Hinds County. It’s time for this type racism by these “gentlemen” to be rejected.
Jackson in all of its history has never had a republican mayor
Otha, yeah… He can make a racist comment as quick as he can write a bad check. He’s a real idiot and no one with any credibility no matter the color of there skin likes him or finds him decent. He’s fallen by the wayside of those that are irrelevant and fringe at best. His race baiting is all he can throw out there as he has nothing to say or of original thought.
The only reason Chokwe can give for voting for him is that he'll keep up the fight against the white man. Most people, though, regardless of color, want the same thing - a safe, workable city that is pleasant to live in.
Richards failed to pick up my garbage Thursday- second time in 30 days-
These people like Othor want white voters to blindly throw away their votes because black voters are told by their "leaders" to do the same thing. No Republican is going to win a city-wide election in Jackson, MS. That's fact. If anyone, including white people want to effect the selection of the next mayor of Jackson at all, they would vote for mayor in the Democratic primary. That's common sense, not racism. Mississippi does not have closed primaries, so why would someone be so stupid to voluntarily diminish their own voting power? I guess they figure if you are white and remain in Jackson you must be that stupid.
Too bad Big Mama didn't get in the race. As a bail bonds person she has a unique interaction/knowledge of the "accused" and law enforcement/justice system in the City of Jackson. I'll take what she has to say about the situation as gospel.
Next Tuesday night, I really hope someone records Ortho & Brad's
(AKA Kamikaze) "watch parties".
Kamikaze, Othor Cain, David L Archie I bet neither of the sign a front end of a paycheck or run a small business. These guys are government workers most of them don't have real jobs.
Mr Cain were you on that yacht in Miami? With you being there y’all could have brought back many ideas to make Jackson Great Again. Sorry you missed that opportunity! Thanks always, for your input.
Bless your heart!
Othor Cain is a total clown/fraud. I tuned into his "raido show" the other night and surprise/surprise. It ain't even a radio show at all.....He does a "Facebook live" thingy calling it a "radio show". Tracking the people watching, he maxxed ot at 95 viewers all night long. And don't let me forget to mention all of the people in town he has stiffed and written bad checks to. He is A JOKE.
5:44. Brad Frankiln (juvenile nickname "Kamikaze") is a lazy, LAZY whiner that can't cut it in the real world, so he amplifies his "woah is me" narrative as if the black man is so oppressed. GMAB.
Chuck, the best to you and your new world order. Who is the new conservative in town? You are quick to pull that race card as a gunslinger is to pull his six shooter in an old western. Shame on the damage you have done in eight years.
First, Jeff gets ZERO empathy from me. He continues to live in and runs (in my opinion) a very good restaurant in a city that HATES him because of his skin color. Yet, he still engages with the racists. As for fat boy Kamazakie or what ever his silly-ass name really is...of yeah, BRAD, he is the worst. Exactly what does he even do for a living? Run a podcast with 6 listeners? Cain? Don't know anything about him, except apparently he doesn't think anyone but him should have an opinion.

Ward 1 is represented by Michael guest and wicker. It’s gerrymandered and also home of Lt gov Delbert Hosemann and many of the Barbour family members. So yes they do win ward one and also Ashby Foote is the city council man for this area. Not sure your familiar with the district layouts.
Ward 1 is gerrymandered? You don't have a clue.
They want the white tax payers money but they don't want their vote.
Mr. Cain, Mr. Cain!! Sit yo dumb arse down a shut yo damn mouth. We all know who we can’t trust. Your racist ass will never accomplish anything. Nobody cares what kind of garbage comes out yo mouth. The race card has expired.
to quote the great charles evers.............''race baiting in mississippi will never end cause there are too many people making money at it''.
8:40, Wicker represents every single person in Mississippi. I can tell you’re really smart!
Brad "Kamikaze" Franklin, Othor Cain, and David L Archie all have provided us with pure comic gold over the years.
When I hear the name Brad "Kamikaze" Franklin, I laugh and can only think of Donna Ladd and the defunct JFP.
When I hear the name David L. Archie, I laugh and can only think of a crazy dude tearing up a Hinds County Board of Supervisor's chamber.
When I hear the name Othor Cain , for some reason ... I laugh and can only think of fire ant poison.
jeff goode has done more for jackson than any politician ever could .
How would you know if there were not secret meetings? Because they didn't send out a press release?
Jeff just shared accurate information and did so without trashing anyone.
Indeed, there was a time beginning just after our Revolution that we didn't have two parties to divide us and we could ALL vote for whomever we thought could best represent our community.
We should all be opposed to anyone making us declare a party or identify with a party. No one should know how we vote even in the general choice of party.
No one just try to intimate us or belittle us in words or deeds to make us choose their party. THAT is the stuff of Nazis and Communists! They rose to power on fear and hate.
King, Emperor, Czar, President, Supreme Leader et. all mean the same thing if it's one man/one party that demands and rewards loyalty and uses of fear, intimidation, loss of freedom and the ability to work to support yourself as well as social ostracism is used to force you to submit to their will.
We should have spent less time focused on wars, battles, victories/victims and heroes in our studies of history and more time on how we humans can be so easily misled . We needed to learn how to recognize the personality traits and characteristics of tyrants ourselves from tyranny before it's too late.Tryants come in all guises from Jim Jones to Khomeini and from Hitler to Stalin. Different " parties" and "religions"...same outcome.
Exactly. Chokwe is no communist; he’s an autocrat. And he’s not a Democrat either. His party is the Republic of New Afrika and it has proven itself completely incapable of governing.
Not you again. No one has written more, and communicated less, than you in your mushroom tea induced inebriation.
Every time you post, it reeks of paranoia. Ranting, and raving about dictators, soon to be Hitlers, and yet, totally oblivious of the real dangers that surround you daily. Please, please seek medical help. That liberal doctrine is driving you insane.
“The mayor’s seat in Jackson is NOT FOR SALE.”
Really? Why is the mayor under indictment, one brought by the Biden DOJ? Only the willfully blind and extraordinarily gullible tnink the mayor’s seat hasn’t been for sale by the current mayor.
Does anyone know why Othor lost his job as public info officer for the Board of Supervisors? He only lasted a few months - & only did PR for Wanda Evers. You'll notice he never has anything good to say about the mayor or points to any achievements. He only trashes white people.
The mayor’s seat in Jackson is NOT FOR SALE.
But the mayor now is definitely for sale. Soon it will be proven in court.
Bottom line and speaking in general, white Jacksonians just want the city to function effectively, efficiently, and economically. Period.
Bottom line and speaking in general, black Jacksonians just want the city to function effectively, efficiently, and economically so long as blacks hold the levers of power. Elsewise Jackson can collapse into a dysfunctional smoking heap.
There were NO "secret meetings" because I attended every one of them, right.
Yep, this is all about a color but the color is green. Those social media divas got paid to stir up the old resentments. If you want to see the biggest whopper of the season check out separatist movement entrepreneur Danyelle Holmes’s latest post.
He's nearly illiterate for one thing but not sure that that matters.
Exactly. And the Republic of New Afrika party has proven it cannot or, more likely, will not deliver these things.
Her latest post is invoking Jesus! Like Jesus would endorse the lying, philandering crook Chokwe. These people are completely insane.
Please go to my FB page - Jane Tucker. The lovely Danyelle Holmes just called white people "coons."
Jeff Goode, excellent resteranteur, deserves more success than he's had, but he has failed to adequately oppose Lamumba at times in the past when it could have helped Jackson.
Still, Mr. Goode is a valuable leader, I respect him.
Otha Cain knows nothing except hate. He’s a pure racist and I hope we never hear from his sorry dumb ass again. He’s about as sharp as a bowling ball
Should reply with a pic of a pot and kettle.
Right on. When he got fired by Hinds County Administrator as mouth piece for the county & the Greater Hinds County Boys & Girls Club would not take him back his options were limited. So, Othor is attempting to shine Lumumba’s campaign. If that doesn’t work out where does he go? Maybe Kaz & David Archie & Othor can form a radical left movement!
Well, Jeff consistently votes for his own oppression so he can enjoy that which he’s sown
If you have not noticed the "CITY OF JACKSON"s Facebook's page miraculous revival check it out and comment there. It's just unreal that the mayor thinks posting nonstop after years of zero posts is going to save him including an Easter update. Sigh.
