Jackson Jambalaya

Disgusting. Can we run them out of town permanently?

Chokwe Lumumba Sr. born as Edwin Finley Taliaferro in Detroit, MI...In 1969 he changed his name to Chokwe (after the Chokwe people, an ethnic group in Central Africa that resisted slavery) Lumumba (after Patrice Lumumba, assassinated leader of the Congo). He later became Vice President of the Republic of New Afrika

How did we let this happen, I am so glad this chapter is closed.

Did anyone expect anything different? They made a HUGE mess while here, so I'm actually surprised they didn't attempt to burn the place down, just to make things worse for everyone.......again, just like they did when they were still here!

So typical.

Here is a book every jacksonian should buy to remember the time we had with the lumumbas

Yet, so may people in Jackson think the state and federal governments should fix the self-inflicted problems that the voters in Jackson created. I say let Jackson run it's own course and see it it can self-correct.

I am willing to bet 50K that nothing will improve in the next decade.

@1:39 Chokwe Sr was not born in 1969. might want to proofread before posting nonsense.

@1:48...."self inflicted" problems? No, not at all. Voter apathy caused this. folks choosing not to be informed and educated voting public caused this.....but at the same time, we (meaning the jackson constituency at large) never believed so few could do so much damage, nor did we realize just how little our council people would do........to say that Jacksonian's at large think the state and federal cgovernment should come in and clean up all of this mess is a bit absurd in that pretty much all municipalities receive state and federal funds. To a certain extent, one could argue that state and federal funding are part of the problem in that it is the bigger problem of bureaucracy at large and run rampant. I know it feels good to beat up on Jackson, but a run down Jackson does not serve any of the tri-county area well at all.......but as to your last sentence, Jackson will self correct, and will chart a new and better course, and you can keep your 50K. What you fail to accept and acknowledge is that there are alot of good folk here that want to live and be happy and enjoy life.....MAy not look like you, or what you consider normal, but still good folk........and just to go a step further, the state of Mississippi was a democratic run state up until Kirk Fordice......prior to him, the last republican gov was in the 1800's, and it would be hard to argue that the state of Mississippi is thriving.......so maybe take your loser mentality and go F*^k off......

Who what when where why? What is the context of this building? Was this the poor people's office? All the grifters pack up after he lost?

@2:35

the only part of your position here that I think is a little iffy is yes, Mississippi was a democratic run state up until fordice, however that doesn't take into account the party ideology switch that happened between the 60s and 80s. So yes it was, however meh............ most of those years the democratic party was conservative.

Aside from that, I 1000 percent agree with you

@2:32, you didn't read the sentence of @1:39 correctly. It said in 1969 he changed his name.

A tacky crew, indeed.

2:32, we are waiting for you to apologize to 1:39

@ 2:54

I don't take issue or disagree with the "iffy" component.....as it relates to a "Mississippi democrat", but I guess one has to throw in , they become guilty by name as a result of the Ray Mabus / Ronnie Musgrove era.....now, that said, and getting back on topic, b/c frankly, I will never understand why people wish ill will on others, I'm not surprised that the outgoing individuals did damage to the building, it would seem very symbolic of the level of respect they showed this city and it's good citizens

I visited Havana, Cuba a few years ago. It is the armpit of the Caribbean. Under Lumumba's socialist watch, Jackson moved in the same direction.

Good riddance, creep.
