The Hinds County Election Commission was holding a meeting. The subject would be the new voting districts. Pete Perry attended in his role as Hinds County GOP Chairman. Ms. Pittman walks in with a friendly constable. She went and filed some charges against him for, get this, cursing in her presence. I kid you not. Constable arrests him and hauls him up to Judge Sutton's court where he cooled his heels for a few hours- until the meeting is over. <br /><br />That is what kind of crap that old fool pulls.

I have gotten to know her, I am sorry to say. I have had to deal with listening to her in meetings, her spouting hate along with ignorance. I have put up with her degrading statements about me and others in the room that were not the same color as her. I have been the target of her abuse on not one or two occasions, but routinely. I have gotten to know her from 'where she is' as she accused me of any and everything she could imagine, for no other reason than she had a different political philosophy than her. I saw all the accolades that she has received, but also listened to her filthy mouth shouting obscenities across a room that prove those accolades to be misappropriated. I don't care where one has been or what they have had to live with - it does not justify either the race-baited hatred, the lying, or the filth that can come from her mouth. I can forgive her ignorance but I do not accept any of your comments as a defense of her actions. <br /><br />And - that has nothing to say about her confusing the poisoning of the water stupidity if we allow Rankin to have a seat at the table for the management of the sewer treatment system. That just is a good reminder of how silly her rants really are.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-24781706057106894002017-04-13T17:15:47.822-05:002017-04-13T17:15:47.822-05:004:48

If the proposed regionalization of the wastewater treatment plant was done, it would allow Rankin County part of the management of the system. But you can't poison the water supply - it is the other end of the system - its where the water goes after it is being used. She is obviously too stupid to understand the difference. <br /><br />Poisoning the wastewater might affect the fish in the Gulf, but nobody in Jackson.

She has shown with this stupid statement that she doesn't know shit about shit (the difference between a wastewater treatment plant and a water treatment plant.)

If this were an isolated instance it would be one thing; but the repeated idiocy that she presents is getting worse. If you don't want to take her out of her misery, at least confine her in that facility designed for her and others like her in Rankin County.

If this is the inference, then why is this woman so bothered about whether Rankin has its own plant? Is she afraid Rankin will poison the water of Rankin and Jackson residents?

She is not the mayor, she is not a councilwoman, and she is not the spokeswoman for any organization of any influence in Jackson. She reflects Jackson's very sad and malicious past which she did not imagine or read about. Her pain from living through that shit has not subsided and she is one of those people who takes comfort in the opportunity to voice her hurt. She probably won't be around much longer, but if her presence in Jackson makes this city so offensive to you that the city should be razed, why don't you just save yourself some trouble and just ascend like Jesus into your perfect heaven where you will be more comfortable.

For her, it may have been in her generation.<br /><br />It's similar to how my executive assistant clears her house when she gets home daily--Years, ago, she came home to be tied-down and kidnapped and to look into the barrel of a gun and experience that Death had finally come for her. Now, for her, the possibility of coming home and being in grave danger is very much a reality.<br /><br />The horrors of the past unfortunately can cloud our approach to reality. Our reality becomes real, whether it is real or not, in terms of its consequences. For my assistant, these real consequences mean clearing her house every day with her trusty hand-gun. For Pittman, it means voicing her concerns that our water supply may be poisoned.<br /><br />I do not pretend to understand living in a reality, in a world, where water supply poisoning is a possibility I fear to the point of feeling compelled to discuss it a City Council meeting. It makes me sad.<br /><br />I can't speak for her specifically, but there are many examples of people like her, on both/all sides, projecting the traumas of their realities. It's easy to "not say a word" and offer her up for quick laughs and subtle racist remarks. It's easy to laugh off some of my friends' remarks as ha, ha you ridiculous redneck.<br /><br />It's a lot harder to get to know her. It's a lot harder to meet people where they are. Some people never change, sure, so they say, but not until we stop being complacent, the likelihood for status quo will remain very high.Wowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17112561096745801287noreply@blogger.com
