If ev...OK, let's settle this once and for all.. If everyone's a racist, then no one's a racist. We're either ALL racists or none of us are racists. Either way, the claim has been SO over used, it has no bearing on anything anymore. There. It's finally settled.<br /><br />Now, on the the TRUTH of the matter: 2:01 hit the nail on the head. It's a CULTURAL issue. When you have groups of people who don't place value on, or have concern for, certain things (e.g., sewer service, water service, schools, libraries, law enforcement, etc.), they're not apt to try to change / improve them. To paraphrase the frequent admonitions of local radio host: the current "leadership" is too busy following their cultural norms to get anything done in this city / county. The issues listed above are just not important to them or their culture. If they were, you would hear a constant cry for reform from the people being affected by the problems with those issues. Unfortunately, the only people from whom you hear complaining are the people in other areas who have had to abandon the city / county DUE to the lack of reforms! This, coming from a local OBSERVATIONIST!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-62001209242575953732019-09-29T15:55:46.689-05:002019-09-29T15:55:46.689-05:00September 29, 2019 at 12:00 PM = Completely derang...September 29, 2019 at 12:00 PM = Completely derangedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-11045233537978506602019-09-29T14:01:13.788-05:002019-09-29T14:01:13.788-05:00It's a culture problem not a race problem and ...It's a culture problem not a race problem and there in lies the competence problem.

The problems in Jackson do not come from people thinking the leaders are not capable. It comes from leadership proving without a doubt that they are incapable. Just list successes in one column and failures in another. Which column should we put hiring an unaccredited firm to run the zoo? The water fiasco? Farish st, or any street for that matter? Crime? Schools? Schools? Libraries? All that caused by racism?

And, 40% of the population is too poor to step up and help with any problem.<br /><br />Do you NOT understand that you'll NEVER get another zoo and to not try to come together as a State to support the zoo and work to solve its problems is in YOUR best interest?<br /><br />Do you NOT understand that buying new books that are more expensive but of better quality is stupid, but that again, in not pulling together as a State, you let than happen? For Heaven's sakes , you could have moved the books to our too many junior colleges and some of our too many universities as some of their libraries are woefully inadequate.<br /><br />Do you NOT see that building 2 new convention centers when one of the three you have is failing and the other 2 , barely working, is a huge waste of money?<br /><br />Other places in which I've lived and worked have geographical demarcations with small differences in the cultural ideas that evolved, but no one of them are blind to the fact that letting one part fail is a failure for all.<br /><br />And, to an outsider who is even more tied to the South than some of those gleefully leading the " hate Jackson" chorus, that all this hate is really so you can feed your baseless belief that only whites are competent to lead or solve problems. And, in any test of competence given, not a one of you could out score Priester or Lumumba and aren't likely as well educated.<br /><br />Perhaps, the first thing some of you should do is take a DNA test. More than a few of the racists I've met here are not lily white ( look up the DNA test for percentages) and some racists are so stupid they admit to a health issue that is confined to those with African American blood. ( You best look up those too) . And, you black racists best look at how white you might be as well. You might have far more white in you than you thought and might not be able to attribute it to ancestor rape during slavery! Those DNA test can pinpoint the generations.<br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-1355314446523500472019-09-29T11:44:47.943-05:002019-09-29T11:44:47.943-05:00@10:56 PM you might want to research the sequence ...@10:56 PM you might want to research the sequence of events more carefully before agreeing to show up here to carry Antar's water.<br /><br />Everything Antar has touched has gone to shit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-32093628919070305932019-09-29T10:03:27.754-05:002019-09-29T10:03:27.754-05:00

They chase fantasy vs reality. They are making progress with the streets but they can’t stop wasting money on other things like a failing Zoo. I don’t believe the Zoo will make it, it’s a money pit. I have always believed that if it wasn’t moved it would fail. The city is also very wrong by allowing so many abandoned structures to remain. What’s the deal with those abandoned hotels at Ellis & 80, I-20? And those abandoned apartments you can see on I-20 near 220...Does the city not care about image to all the thousands of travelers who drive through? Jackson has an image problem. A drive through Jackson on I-20 would surely cause people to think really negatively of Jackson.
