Dare I say, the logic is almost Aristotelian. "We don't even need a primary because RACIST."

Gibberish.

Subtitles please!

Hysterical!

Big K is challenged by anything more than a one syllable word. Sometimes it's better to be quite and let people think you are an idiot than to speak up and let them know you are one.

Stokes needs to visit a tailor. His suit jacket is extending way down over his fingers. Mkaes him look raggedy, like a schoolboy wearing a too-large suit that he can "grow into."

The guy can't even pronounce his own name properly, but he sho' kin sez "RACIST!!"

Good God!!!! Its so sad that someone this stupid has no idea he is an idiot!

Did he eat paint chips as a child?

I'm a conservative Hinds County resident, but I have to admit that primaries for this open seat are a waste of money, and so is that stupid Parkway they want to build. I just can't hold the party line on those two issues and I fail to see how somebody can claim to be "conservative" but want to spend money on both of those things.

TRANSCRIPT BELOW:

Hello. I am Kennafy Stokes, Hines County Supaviza Disrick Fi. State law requize Hines County to oparay wiffa balance budget. Kennafy Stokes would neva vote to break that budget of Hines County. Hines County cannot afford to fun da primary lections. Dese primary lections are not even necessary. Tell da troof, Danny Mollisack. What back room deals ar behine you an your commontarries? Caffa Dan, your station's raciss pass is showin. WLBT cud make a fortune wif you in a reality TV show, starrin as Forress Gump. Maybe den, we da viewas of WLBT cud get some commontarries wifout all da lies, an a general manager who is qualified instead of a Frank Melton want to be. Tank you.

As far as Hinds conservatives go you are pretty damn uninformed.

8:48 yeah that Buster Bailey and the Highland Colony Parkway are both really stupid. Get out more.

Can't make this stuff up. Sad he's partially in charge of Hinds county spending.

I do tend to agree with 848 about the spending. However, stokes and crew aren't exactly frugal so you know his stand is purely politically motivated.

I'm so sick of the racists card always played by these bafoons when they can't make a valid argument.

If Stokes and company hadn't peed away tons of money they would have money for elections.

Supervisor Stokes must have had an epiphany or a brain fart to suddenly inject that he is going to try to come across as a law abiding individual. His comments and grandstanding demeanor do nothing but contribute to Hinds County continuing to be a comedy of errors and an avenue for racism.

Please provide translation.....

I don't speak Jive.

People from outside the state will see this on YouTube and think it's satire.

WE MUST disown this fool! I'm so afraid he'll make it to CNN and embarrass Mississippi even more! God help us - please!

by the way, the desire to have a primary in the first place was that of the democrats, and it is highly unusual in our state. that should tell you something. Kenny's motives are surely self-serving, but that doesn't mean we should support wasting money on unnecessary primaries.

WE MUST disown this fool! I'm so afraid he'll make it to CNN and embarrass Mississippi even more! God help us - please!

Too late......the train has long since left the station. Kenny is the poster child for Jackson and Hinds County.

The Forrest Gump comment was pretty funny though...

The only question not yet answered is if Kenny and LaRita will join the elite shopping at Whole Foods.

There are none so blind as those who cannot see.

That monologue rises to the level of art. Shakespearean.

You just viewed the future of Jackson and Hinds County....

"WE MUST disown this fool! I'm so afraid he'll make it to CNN and embarrass Mississippi even more! God help us - please!"

Won't happen - it would make all Democrats (read: blacks) look like ignorant fools, so CNN would never show it.

Don't expect CNN to show the dozens of security camera videos of black teens mobbing stores in "flash mob" burglaries either. You have to rely on the internet to get your news.

Is there any word, I mean, at least ONE word that he can pronounce correctly? Did he ever take and pass English classes? It is just amazing that adults like this even exist...I don’t know whether to laugh out loud or cry out loud...I could not understand 90% of what he said, much less make any sense out of the words he did manage to speak. Unbelievable...simply unbelievable. I’m like “really???” So sad, just so, so sad.

He who knows not, and knows not that he knows not, is a fool. Shun him.

He who knows not, and knows that he knows not, is a child. Teach him.

He who knows, and knows not that he knows, is asleep. Wake him.

He who knows, and knows that he knows, is a leader. Follow him.

No 3:33, you just viewed the present of Jackson and Hinds County.

That speaks volumes about the quality of public education in the State of Mississippi!! How was he ever allowed to be promoted out of grade school? He obviously cannot speak or read and if he reads he cannot pronounce the words. And, as far as his speech, there are special programs in the public schools to help children with speech. Someone really dropped the ball here and it's being dropped on a daily basis. And, our public officials just want to throw more money at the problem! More money is not the answer - Quality education is the answer. Otherwise, you just continue to turn more Kenneth Stokes "look-alikes" out into society.

Could someone please tell me what was even remotely racist or even racial about Dan Modisett's original commentary? Let me throw it out to the race hustlers. Donna Ladd, Tom Head, even Kenny Stokes. Point out anything in Modisett's video that can be construed as racist and then explain precisely how it is.

I contend that Kenny uses the racism charge reflexively. It's his default, and useful idiots like Ladd and Head do nothing but enable him.

Kingfish I wasted 1:09 minutes watching that clip.

This man is functionally illiterate. Mr. Stokes, have you ever read a book? Can you tell me the square root of 144? Can you name the capital of West Virginia? Do you know the title of one novel written by William Faulkner? Can you tell me the first five presidents (hint: they all have counties in Mississippi named after them).

When someone with no education, no diction, and no ability to form a cogent thought can rise to this level, is it any wonder JPS students do little more than eat their meals at school?

Maybe this will help y'all understand.

I knew Kenny's skill reading a teleprompter reminded me of somebody else. It's these guys:

"That speaks volumes about the quality of public education in the State of Mississippi!! How was he ever allowed to be promoted out of grade school? He obviously cannot speak or read and if he reads he cannot pronounce the words."

Forget about kicking Mississippi public education - no use whipping a dead horse.

Save your contempt for Texas Southern University. Would you like to be Dean of their Law School, knowing that their faculty had decided he was worthy of receiving a law degree?

Prior to that he must have graduated from a college - can anyone enlighten us as to which institute of higher education deserves to be named and shamed since they gave him a diploma?

Has he passed the bar exam?

It is sad that this guy continues to represent Hinds County and Jackson. He always uses the racist card and he is one of the most racist people against white people. Get over yourself Kenny....how is Mississippi going to grow and move past this if all you have to say in every sentence is racist? I have no clue why people keep electing this ignorant bafoon. Get someone that can stand up for you without making everything about race. We all need a step in the right direction and Stokes is not it!

Why are you calling him Big K? It should be more like Special K.

If you play the video and read along with the "transcription" at 9:02am, it's hilarious! It'll make you forget how sad this whole thing really is.

9:20 I think it was Benjamin Franklin who said "In a democracy people get the government they deserve"

Someone mentioned Tom Head. Whatever happened to that guy? I actually checked the JFP to see if he was still writing columns thtere.

He is, but I actually had to search around for it. It seems that Ladd is burying his columns. She must have penis envy for his pseudo-intellectual blather. I guess she wants him to be her column-bitch, so she can keep him under her thumb, so he doesn't steal all of her coveted attention.

What a bunch of effing flakes.

If I knew how to find him, I would.

Between Phil Bryant, Haley Barbour, and Kenny Stokes............We are doomed people. They cant even say their name.

There is a circus clown who wants to buy a Stokes mask if anyone knows where to get one

I have got to move out of this state so bad!!!!! Total uneducated fools running things in Jackson and Hinds County!
