Do I need to say it?

This week's humor comes from our local alternative newsweekly:
"I think I'm longing for the return of segregation. We live in a white Polish/Irish town now. I, frankly, will never live with large numbers of white people again. White people are just too f***ing crazy.
Our interest in Jackson is the possibility of living in a black neighborhood, because, well, the city is so black it seems possible that we could find an accepting black neighborhood and go live in it.
Is that what has to happen, return to formal segregation, so the two of us can know what neighborhood we can live in? We want to live somewhere away from white people, because racism is a mental illness, and the color brown makes white people crazy. Making the mistake of thinking people are free to live where they want in America has been is extremely costly to us." willdufauve Feb 06, 08 11:17 pm http://www.jacksonfreepress.com/forums/threads.php?id=16146_0_16_0_C#106065


The irony.

Another totally forgettable print version of that publication this week. YAWN.

Are you freaking KIDDING ME!?!? I'm only shocked that he/she wrote it down.

I am sooo not shocked. I think this is the predominant thinking of Jackson blacks. the poster wants to know where all the blacks live so he/she can live with them? drive around, you'll see.

Tom Head said...

Uh, the poster is white... His wife's black. And he's PO'd about the way she was treated in the last city they lived in, which (assuming his story is true, and I have no reason to doubt that) seems understandable... I don't know how I'd feel about white communities, frankly, if somebody that close to me had to endure what she endured.

Kingfish said...

Since you obviously missed the point, and I read what he had to say and understand the context, I meant if a WHITE person made those remarks about Blacks or immigrants on that site you really think she would exhort people to understand where he was coming from as she did?

You REALLY think that?

Stop being an apologist for all things race Tom. KF, i get what youre saying. it pisses me off to no end when jfp does stuff like that. if youre so ashamed of being white, you need to go get counseling.

Kingfish said...

I'm just curious Tom.

How much racism have you actually witnessed? I don't mean watch on tv or read in a book. I mean that you personally witnessed in someone mistreating another person because of his race.

Anonymous said...

KF, probably as much as donna ladd has seen, personally.

Kingfish said...

I'll defend her on that one. Growing up in the 1960's and 70's in Philadelphia, I'm sure she saw quite a bit and heard more than a few racist opinions.

well you said 'personally witnessed mistreating another person'

having an opinion of it, and doing mistreating a person are two completely different things.

i might be of the opinion that the irs is the worst thing in the world, but i'm still going to pay my taxes, and should tehy ever come to visit me, i'll be as nice as i can to them!

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets.
