Jackson Jambalaya

Haters gonna hate.

Not going to waste a second on this garbage. However, those condos at Sandestin are surely a big impact on Ward 3. Horse hockey.

Rev Williams sets the bar awfully high. Paul Gallo and J.T. will need to double up and catch up if they can.

For some reason I can't make out the sound. Anyway, what did he say about Virgi being elected? Thank God she was elected. Ward 1 has to call on her because Ashby is so pathetic.

I can hear it fine, but having trouble understanding the dialogue.

They wonder why people don’t invest in Jackson.

I must say you are getting rather predictable Kingfish. The way you pander to your base, one could be forgiven for confusing you for Kenneth Stokes or Donald Trump. Easy way to get cheap clicks, I suppose.

The city council should pass a resolution condemning this racist comments and put stokes on notice that this is unacceptable. Otherwise, it’s seems clear that the mayor and other council members are afraid of loudmouth. Period.

Talking loud and saying nothing..........

11:44 AM This is just fair & balanced reporting. All the major news outlets, New York Time, Washington Post, Jackson Free Press, etc. etc. spew racial hate toward white people & their culture. It's refreshing to see a blog putting the black hate toward whites out there. And that my friends is the rest of the story.

Shuck and Jive bullshitters

I am now dumber than I was before. Save yourself! Don't listen.

Is there an English translation available?

Is there an app that translates jive?

Kennuf may seem crude but his method is all too common in our country today. He talks to his base. They are the vast black underclass that is rapidly becoming a majority in Jackson. They feel like victims and Kennuf does all he can to validate their feelings. He becomes one of their only voices against the "rich white folks" who must be behind their failures. Kennuf is like a drug or a crutch and that gives them comfort. Since he's not addressing the real sources of their problems, the problems will not go away so he'll always be busy. It works for him and others too. Not all are democrats.

The only ones thanking god that Virgi was elected are the One Lake and Improvement District proponents. I would be willing to bet your Ward 1 call to Virgi would garner a smidge more attention than the average Ward 1 renter. Drive through her Ward...no, better yet, just through her neighborhood. The potholes outnumber the people; yet she's never rammed a council meeting schedule change through to get an immediate response to the problems in her neighborhood like she did for One Lake.

The real source of the problem is that "rich white folks" have gotten rich off the city of Jackson and that same black underclass that you are talking about. Some of us clearly recognize the game that "rich white folk" have been playing for years and the even worst part about it is that we have several black leaders who play along with these "rich white folks" just for their own personal gain. The movie is unfolding though. Just keep your bucket filled with popcorn.....

Politics 101.....Play to your base and denigrate your opponents. Republicans and Democrats do it every day. Kennyistoke is no fool. FDR said the best thing to have in politics is a bad enemy. Nothing new under the sun here.

"rapidly becoming..." ?? You're waaaaay behind.

As a white male in my mid-40's, I feel absolutely no responsibility nor pity for the current state that blacks currently find themselves in, whether it be in MS or the nation. Trillions of taxpayer dollars have been thrown at them over the last 50-60 years, which in my opinion equate to reparations, and they are virtually no better off now than they were when LBJ launched his 'war on poverty'. If those two idiots and all the other race hustlers like them would concentrate on their cultural problems (i.e. fatherless households) and accept responsibility for their own failures, then they might stand a chance of improving their stock in life. Constantly blaming white folks and pissing away government handouts have gotten them nowhere over the last half-plus century.

Like a previous writer said this is nothing but hate speech.

@2:54 Rich white folks like Marcus Wallace AKA MAC and Associates? Like Malachi & Associates? All the other bond pimps and DBE contractors? Those rich white folks? Just checking.

I don't listen to much of his ramblings, but have him and da RRREEEEEEEVVVVVVV ever called out their own race for crime, violence, murder, fatherless homes, street and gang culture? How many of the hustlers do this? No many in any form of Hinds County or City of Jackson authority that I can remember. Come to think of it, most of the big time organizers, race baiters, black clergy, black presidents, or other call these factors out as well. I guess they must not see it because the white man turned their cable off.

11:44 -

How, pray tell, idoes posting audio and video of a Democrat politician and a preacher amount to KF’s “pandering to his base?”

You sound like a racist.

Kenneth and his ilk of Southern black politicians are the equivalent of Muslims in the Middle East, who blame all of their own shortcomings on THE JEWS!

Instead of trying to lift his constituency up, Stokes prefers to blame everything on white people. Black Democrats have controlled Jackson city government for a generation, but continue to blame others for the coty’s Downward trajectory.

Of the 50+ murders in Jackson this year, do we know how many were committed by blacks? Maybe this is where Kenneth needs to focus

2:54 In case you are from another planet or an idiot, please be informed that people get rich off the labor and dependency of other people. Happens all the time in all countries and to all races. In case you haven't noticed there are plenty of black people getting rich off other black people and sometimes off white people too. But if you don't take advantage of education and opportunity your ass will be left behind to complain about "the rich folks" who are to blame for all your problems... If it makes you feel better go ahead. Just stay on your side of town

Let’s be fair and post the racist white guys on the radio too.

-White person

Stuff like this is the very reason people are leaving Jackson!

I wonder if this will get posted. I also wonder what the reaction would be from locals and nationally if someone said in a public forum, "Black (or anything other than 'white') folks are taking us down..."

Kenny and the Rev.,

Flowood and Madison's MVP!

Keep it up my property values are on the up.

Pandering to base? Um, you don't think a City Councilman of the state's largest city making these remarks is newsworthy? I didn't edit anything or add any remarks to what he said. I put it up there and let you decide for yourself.

Now suppose Tate or Ashby said "Black Folks are Taking Us Down" on the radio and started blaming blacks for all the problems in Jackson. What would happen?

Mississippi Today would suddenly discover Jackson actually exists. The JFP would make a six month series out of it. Sam Hall and Jimmie Gates would be unable to control themselves. Ross Adams? Don't even go there.

Mississippi Today is such a farce.

Kenny is using the same playbook that Trump is using. Play to your constituency with key words and phrases. All the while, they don't give a flying f**k about any of them, as long as they continue wielding power for themselves and their friends that keep them paid. It has been going on for generations. Sad thing is that the "poor" amongst us continue falling for this BS decade after decade, century after century, millennium after millennium.

PS 7:28 bye bye tax base!

I don’t disagree 3:39, but unlike Trump these guys are openly and brazenly racist against Whitey and it’s just tolerated or ignored by the majority of news outlets.
This double standard and hypocrisy has made all cries of racism seem impotent and useless, and further divides societies.
It’s a shame that such hate speech goes uncondemned.
This would never be acceptable if the roles were reversed and it’s sickening to me when either race behaves so poorly.
Especially when the hate speech results in re-election.
