Jackson Jambalaya

So, because someone MAY HAVE scrawled a poostika on a mirror, this (if it happened) is as bad as people being blown up? If anyone actually found the poostika in the bathroom, did they check to see if it really was poo? Could have been written in Ding Dong Snack Cake, or chocolate candy bar, or ExLax.

I'm Jewish, and so am supposed to be especially affected by swastikas. But personally, if I'd seen that symbol, written in actual, real poo, I'd have been thinking, "Oh, LOOK! Some fool's been playing with poo!" I would NOT feel threatened by a SYMBOL. It might have made me extra-cautious about the toilet seats, faucet handles, and doorknobs on campus, since someone clearly would have had hygiene issues. But SYMBOLS CAN'T HURT YOU.

Symbols can't hurt you, that is, unless you're stupid enough to believe in magical talismans with magical powers. And really: if you're that stupid, you have no business on a college campus.

These morons (they give moron a worse meaning) should be glad that they don't live under ISIS. They wouldn't be around for long.

Some of these folks need to be dropped into Mississippi in the early '60s. It would give them some needed perspective. It's almost comical to hear them talking as if the KKK was a real threat. There are indeed a lot of white foxes still lurking around, but very few white wolves are left.

These types of attacks can happen anywhere on our soil. There is no stereotype for ISIS. They can be any color or any gender. They can be your relatve, neighbor or your children. They choose to die for their cause, so there's no need for disguises. Someone will always complain about the flag and symbols. In reality, that's a very minor problem in comparison to what appears to be headed to our country.

but, yeah, you do you, KF.

Don't think for a minute that IS isn't looking at ways to leverage this strife in the US. These crybabies have no idea what real conflict and hate is like.

Unhappy students at Mizzou have the opportunity to change schools. People dead in Paris have no such chance.

Well, let's see. They tweet about ignoring Mizzou. And Kingfish blogs about the tweets about ignoring Mizzou (nary a word about Paris, mind you). Weird, huh? Calling party of Bubba Carpenter! Dog whistles allowed!

In case you didn't notice, I slammed Carpenter.

Good for you. A bold move.

3:16 pm tried to tell you. Let me spell it out.

You can fake and steal tweeter accounts just like you can Facebook photos and accounts .

You can post fake YouTube videos using old videos or films and then drop in scrolls and symbols .

One person can become a group that doesn't exist. And you don't have to be mentally stable or honest to create a website. Anyone with a computer can do it and borrow photos from all over the web.

Even good people can be duped if they don't check the credibility of the source.

Any information from the Internet should be regarded with skepticism and repetition isn't enough. You have to check the original source.

I feel sorry for any African-American that lived through Jim Crow and the Civil Rights Movement, and now has to see what has become of way too many black people today.

I wonder if Democrats up north realize how man more votes they would get from southern whites if Obama came out and criticized the bs going on in the black community. I mean, Obama was raised by his white grandparents in Hawaii, then went to Occidental, Columbia, and Harvard, so I wonder if he is truly aware of the bs in the black community.

I taught two years at a JPS high school, so a school that's 99 percent African American. Students were defiant towards other employees and I all the time (I have a feeling I got it worse since I'm white, but that would be tricky to prove). It was almost a daily occurrence that I had students make seriously stupid comments. I had classes full of students fail a test where they were supposed to identify the location of the 50 states in the U.S. I had a lot of students that didn't know what states border Mississippi. I had a lot of students that had no sense of when major events happened in history. I had a couple students not know what country they lived in. I had students that couldn't comprehend how Russia was on both sides of a world map. Shouldn't these kids have relatives that made sure when they were little where at least Louisiana and Arkansas are located, so they would be able to see on a weather radar if a severe storm was heading for them? I had students that thought the U.S. Civil War was in the 1900s. Do these kids think they have grandparents that were slaves? Do the 42 supporters really think throwing money at this situation would fix things. I mean teachers that have dependents could use more money, but really, if a Mississippi 14-year-old doesn't know where Alabama is located that's the kids own fault.

Occasionally I saw fights, and smelled marijuana.

I now teach at another school in Mississippi that's like 80 percent African American. The kids aren't from the hood, but a significant minority try to act like they are. They are bad at it too.

The whole black lives matter thing is racist. Leaders in the black community need to stand up and call out this nonsense. It would drive MLK crazy.

Look at the boys at the end of this fight at Jim Hill taunting the JPS employee (http://www.msnewsnow.com/story/30473958/caught-on-camera-jim-hill-vicious-fist-fight). I've been taunted at by students. Students that I could put in the hospital in no time, but I couldn't do anything about it because of the way out society is set up. There are boys in Jackson that have severe cases of little man syndrome. Ask the boys what they will do when they grow up, and a crazy amount will say go to the NFL and/or NBA; and we are talking about high school boys that aren't big, strong, or fast for their age.

teacher - please work on your (I and me) grammar

Nothing like an Ivy League education.

Just imagine if Jackson put a hidden camera on white JPS high school teachers for a year and looked at the footage.
