It appears some major supporters of Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba are not taking his electoral shellacking too well.

Cliff notes version- "The man" is after Shock-Way.
So one big "whataboutism", which has been one of their biggest buzzword dog whistles they use when talking about the other side.
Wonder if anyone is gonna tell them the man who defeated Lumumba is in fact.........black
Poor lamb...
The basic misunderstanding here is that (neither) Lumumba was elected to fight white supremacy. They were elected (and expected) to manage, secure and grow an f'ing city. It's that simple.
Quid pro quo is part of politics - like it or not. Accepting $50K in cash on a yacht in Miami and then heading to the strip club is illegal - like it or not.
Right. The embarrassing thing for Chokwe isn't that he was dirty, it's that he was actually so incompetent he got caught. I can't trust a guy who can't get away with bribery.
Who posted this? It reads like Omari - outrage and intimidation. I am sure the many hard-working black citizens of Jackson who just wanted clean drinking water will be glad to know they have been "weaponized" against each other - just because they didn't vote for Lumumba. Sorry, Omari the race card isn't going to play - a black State Senator won the runoff. Decisively.
The difference for Antard is that in his case, it was the FBI who bribed him, and not Amazon or DraftKings. Just in case he didn’t notice the difference. Amazon and DraftKings aren’t law enforcement running a sting operation.
I guess they’re mad at the Biden administration for the charges against Chokwe… these people are literally not educated or understand anything about what’s happening. Chokwe didn’t lose bc of indictment… he lost bc he sucked as a leader. Again blaming whites in NE Jackson for his loss… blah blah blah… take responsibility and get your head out of your a$$. It’s simple to understand
They should start a GoFundMe for his commissary when he checks in at Club Fed. Of course they'd probably loot that too.
You should all start wearing white hoods and swastikas because y’all are some of the most hateful bigots on the web
And don’t forget the highest in power black politician, Bennie Thompson, also flipped on him.
My question to his supporters, What did he actually accomplish for the betterment of Jackson? I can’t think of anything of substance, please enlighten me! This election was results driven, not race. Nothing else, nothing more.
I notice they didn't try to make a case that he was an effective mayor, which would have been laughable to everyone, so they go with race card and victim arguments.
My Dad always had some choice comments for me whenever I'd try to weasel out of responsibility by pointing at my brother and asking when he was going to get in trouble. My Dad was a U.S. Army Ranger, so you can just imagine what those comments were.
Sour grapes. Time for him to ride off into the sunset. That said, I guarantee you that this state has never awarded a multi-million dollar contract to somebody who is not politically "connected." The rant was correct about that part.
So, is that person saying that White people indicted the Mayor because he is Black, then allowed another Black man to be Mayor of Jackson? Apparently, some people are angry the grift got stopped.
He’s a terrible mayor who would have handily lost without the indictment. Lumumba lost this election when he shut down garbage service for weeks so he could bypass the city council and get Richards the contract. He had a choice and he chose Richards over any chance for reelection. He has no one to blame but himself
Does low IQ writer not realize that coj is 85% black and black voters voted Mayor Lobotomy out of office?????? but then again by ignoring the fact he can use the age old "R" word argument. Duh Huh!
Bitching about Lumumba being convicted in the public eye before his day in court, yet convicting the 3 Republicans in the public eye before they are indicted or had their day in court seems a little double standardish....
Also, Lumumba sold his people out for farming out $30mil of the Siems settlement to his buddies instead of using all of these attorneys he surrounds himself with to bring a large majority of those funds back to his city to better the water system of which he helped destroy....
Does this racist agit-prop make the corrupt mayor giddy enough to ignore his deserved fate?
Chockweed was just not smart enough to get away with doing the same thing white politicians get away with.

The legality of Mississippi House Speaker Jason White receiving a Super Bowl trip from DraftKings, a sports betting company, hinges on Mississippi’s lobbying and ethics laws, which are notably lax and contain loopholes.
..DraftKings confirmed it funded at least the game tickets and stated it complies with Mississippi’s reporting requirements, pointing to the distinction between lobbyists and their clients in state law.
In summary, while the trip was not necessarily illegal under Mississippi’s current legal framework, the delayed reporting and the context of DraftKings’ lobbying efforts highlight a system ripe for abuse.
I am white in NE Jackson. I didn't vote for him. They can blame me if they want to. I don't give a fuck. Sore-ass losers.
Yep, indicted on that right wing MAGA supporter Biden's watch. "Race card," when it's the only card in your deck.
First of all, and please correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that the Mayor did receive cash at the strip club to tip the dancers.
But, my real point would be that I cannot disagree with the overall point of the author. I would view all the described situations (gifts) as inappropriate. I know that the company I work for has a code of conduct which prohibits accepting gifts beyond a nominal value. I would encourage all our elected officials to review their own personal code of conduct and what would be unacceptable.
Who is ya’ll?
From what I have been reading, and hear, the past week, the white man has a lot of catching up to do. Those Lumumba supporters are striking out at every white man they can think of.
Who’s gonna pick up the trash now?
Well finally! Party loyalty between two "rich" parties that results in ill-informed voters is not a good thing! Our Founders were right but WE FORGOT!
That's part of the bad things that happens when we let powerful parties decide how we should vote!
Be FOR a ballot that is done without declaring party so we can vote for or against those we know best!
The people of Jackson can be their own worse enemy.
Moral relativism is lethal and eventually sets mediocrity as the standard.
Cry into your Olde English 800.
I'm not the one pushing for an ethnic nation. Though now you have me reconsidering.
First paragraph is riddled with incorrect information. You can say the sun is blue all day long, but we all have eyes to see that it isnt. And we’ve all read the indictment and seen the pics.
This made me laugh: “...just to see a black mayor thrown to the wolves.” I’m assuming the writer of this screed knows Horne is black.
“he (Lumumba) stood up for them.” Yeah, like no water, crappy roads, crappy garbage pickup, and shoving money in a stripper’s outfit. Kingfish had posted something on the election thread that a very large percentage of the black vote went for Horne. So I believe, white and black, are just so tired of this idiot.
Cash, check, same, same. Bribery is bribery. Right?
Indeed, I can't imagine anything more racist than a majority black city electing a black mayor.
Wow......she invoked the "lynchings" word in her post. Heard someone else post that recently. Sounds like she lost her meal ticket.
75% of the vote in an 85% black city said Lumumba has to go.
Maybe he should have listened a couple of years ago when Kenneth Stokes told him to "quit smokin' dat dope."
Hard to claim MS is racist when we have more black elected officials than any other state. Easier to invoke the “victim “ card
We ain’t gonna demand shit! We went to the polls and voted, my vote counted!
There is a looser and a winner and like always you have to wear several hats in order to survive. I like to pick up trash and shovel shit! And yes politics is a dirty game when you loose.
I don't understand why the author is aiming so low. It was Biden's Admin. that went after Lumumba. Why not go after him for accepting pay for play from China?
Lose, not "loose."
The words “Democrat” and “Criminal” go together like Apple and Pie, so Chokwe taking bribes surely wasn’t surprising. What is beyond surprising was the Biden administration’s Injustice Department indicting a Black Democrat Mayor.
Then we read via JJ the 4/21/25 “Down with the Toms” Facebook rant from one of Chokwe’s biggest supporters stating: “So why now (Bennie Thompson’s betrayal of Chokwe via support of Horhn), when the most radical Black mayor in the South is leading a vision rooted in people power and justice? Because Thompson couldn’t control him. Because Mayor Lumumba refused to play puppet politics. Refused to steer contracts to Congressman Thompson’s cronies. Refused to sell out his city for proximity to power.”
A literal Piss Ant Democrat like Chokwe ALLEGEDLY telling one of the most powerful members of congress he can’t get in on the grift? If this is true, the Biden administration’s Injustice Department going after Black Democrat Mayor Chokwe, makes perfect sense.
Oxymoron: Honest politician. Right?
The race card. Chuck has taught his people well. Pull it at the first sign of trouble.
Othor has been on a 3-day drunk since Tuesday night. How much did Chokwe pay him out of that $50k from the Feds?
Othor looking for a job since being fired by Hinds
County. Maybe run Lumumba’s national defense publicity operation. About how Biden’s justice department went rogue & indicted the mayor.
I still can’t comprehend why anyone wants to accept corruption and then carry on why their corruption is no different than someone else’s corruption. Why can’t people want and demand righteousness? Because our rulers are representative of the voters which is us!!!!!! Until we change each of ourselves, we will still get the same results we are seeing today. We must change to be better. Garbage in makes garbage out.
Zero
It is such a paradox that Mississippi is often characterized as the center of the Bible Belt but is corrupt to the max.
How could Lumumba claim Biden was out to get him, when Biden went after Adams of New York first?
Thompson didn't need Lumumba's chump change, when he was eating high on the hog with that USAID money.
Notice that the author doesn’t deny the mayor took the checks, but then tries to suggest they weren’t cashed, so no real problem. The author says Lumumba knew it was a set up, but took the checks anyway, as if that will get him off the hook. That will not fly in court. And when the author can show some accomplishment of the mayor other than decay and depopulation of the city, maybe he could get some credit. But blaming white folks for his election loss is failing to look in the mirror and seeing something other than a tight haircut and beard.
That can be illustrated by this joke:
Sunnis don't recognize Shia. Catholics don't recognize Protestants for communion. And Baptists don't recognize each other in the liquor store.
Ah the ol' race card getting played again. "We" got the black man out his ineffectual and corrupt office. And replaced him with...a black man. Total good ol' boy power structure move.
And then he/she/they claims that "we" go after Upchuckwe for taking money when there is no confirmation of it being deposited or used. That is the whole problem with the Miami trip. The TaterTot and Jason White examples were clearly publicized because THEY ARE LEGAL. Otherwise where would the information have come from? Not an FBI undercover operation but full disclosure. So, in short, the author is a f**king idiot hate-monger and is why Jackson is in the shape it is in. Sycophants and apologists.
