StokesTV

 Welcome to another edition of StokesTV.  Local celebrity Othor Cain interviewed Jackson Ward 3 Councilman Kenneth I. Stokes last week and as expected, it was quite entertaining and informative as well. Enjoy.

I really wish people would figure out how to use a cell phone.

I feel sorry for Mr.Cain . Sounding all tight and professional as his phone lets him down. I'm old and offer this. Old folks ! Put the phone down.

Kenny Stokes is a living legend and an absolute unit. I want this man to be the mair of Jackson before he strokes out on us!

Does anyone know what the "I" stands for in Kenneth I Stokes?

Kenneth for mair! Seriously though, compare him to Chokwe. He isn't all polished, but he also speaks of substance and not just BS. He's at his house, among his constituents (not behind a wall and gate), talking about what is ACTUALLY going on not lobbing unfounded and offensive accusations. I never thought I'd see the day he was the leader we need, but I'm a believer now. Go Kenny go!

I too am a believer. All the way.

REMEMBER, Waste Management is ONLY .28 cents more per collection and that is assuming there is only 45,000 homes.

At 53,000 homes that drops to .24 cents per collection.

Y’all used to clown on Stokes before the fruity looking, Dollar Tree Obama got elected mayor. Now y’all appreciate his honesty, integrity, and his connection to the community. He may have been wrong about throwing bricks and bottles at overzealous suburban law enforcement. But he was coming from a perspective where his people were in danger from these chases.

Maybe it took Trump to teach white folks to respect Stokes. I am just glad he is now getting the respect he deserves!

Stokes already took a drug test !!! Lumumba is a complete no-show. Incredible.

I live a lot closer to jokeway than stokes and like so many posts above formerly thought of stokes as clownish.

But the light has shined.

STOKES FOR MAYOR!!!

At the worst he might be, he would be a very good improvement.

This is all a theatre in the power structure of municipal operations. A mayor can veto an action, SEVERAL times - but a city council can override the mayor's veto...usually with a two-thirds vote.

If you're ever fortunate enough to have a conversation with Stokes when the media is not present he is quite personable and intelligent. The way he speaks is WAY different than what you hear and see on the radio and television outlets.

Always a Stokes fan!
And y'all leave Othor alone!

3:29 "Maybe it took Trump to teach white folks to respect Stokes..."
Add Chockwe to that list in teaching ALL folks! He and Trump are arrogant birds of a feather.

i wonder if the new found love for mr stokes from belhaven, fondren, and NE jackson gets back to him.

he does care. that’s redeemable.

Those getting excited over Stokes, just remember…this is the same guy that encouraged citizens to throw rocks and bricks at police cars.

I have more respect for Stokes than I have for those little roided manlets with badges in Niknar. I seriously wonder if Bryan Bailey is so insecure about his own height, that he only hires deputies shorter than him! JPD looks like the NBA in comparison!

Best political interview in the whole state in 20 years. And most sensical.

There are a lot of people in Jackson who might be called "the underclass". They do not expect to be courted, quoted, or even respected, but they do know that Kenneth Stokes will give them voice, even if it is uncouth and sometimes profane. Although the present mayor is a mismatch for Jackson I do not think Kenneth should be mayor. However I do think his voice remains a reminder that democracy means everybody, even those who are often left behind.

Kenneth cares about the city and his constituents. Chokwe cares about himself. And that my friends is the bottom line.

Very good interview, best wishes to Councilman Stokes and his community. Now let’s go get them dope boys!

I am white, conservative, and a Jacksonian and I would absolutely support Stokes for Mayor.

If you've wondered how Kenneth Stokes has kept getting elected all these years, you need to watch this video.

Watch ALL of it.

Kenny, if you need money to pay the lawyer for your slander suit against the mayor, just start selling STOKES caps. You'll sell more than you think. Thanks for your integrity.

Othor - great interview. Wish others would learn to shut up and let the guest do the talking. Good job.

I live in fondren and thought Stokes was in on the cable bribery with Williams and Armstrong back in the 90s. And that was why he never talks to contractors now, because he's right that he IS a target.

But now is now, and he obviously cares about his constituents. He's not what is wrong with Jackson ... and really neither are Lindsey or Foote. I'm not sure he'd be a good mayor, but what the heck. I'd be proud to vote for him because at least he cares about citizens more than his pocket, and Antar can't claim that.

Stokes was wrong, but neighboring cities police chiefs were fine with killing innocent citizens in high speed chases that Jax police would break off after getting the tag #

I was a Jackson Firefighter & member of the union executive board before it was a recognized union, when we went to the council & asked for their support Kennneth Stoked was the only one we could count on to be honest with us, if he could vote for us he would tell us & he couldn't he would tell us& give a reason, the other council members would tell us one thing & then do just the opposite when it came time to vote. I certainly didn't like everything he stood for but at least he was honest with us. I certainly couldn't day that about Ben Allen or Margaret Barrett!

Stokes is still a racist. He talks about how in the past they split departments to get more black department heads. He talked about wanting black folks running stuff. He is a huge proponent of hiring based on color rather than competence. He mentions it many times in this interview. They will never fix the water, sewer, and streets until they hire competent employees, engineers, contractors, etc. based upon ability (regardless of color).

Everybody turning out to eulogize the man who was previously everybody's villain. I was unaware that he had crossed over the rainbow-bridge. The value of caps has just gone up.

If you think Jackson stinks now, just wait until June....LOL...!!!

There are lots of reformed Stokes kool-aid drinkers on here. He is a career politician - 'nuf said.

The drivers killed themselves and others by driving recklessly. Not the police.

Here come the monoliths again to impugn those who fully understand they can agree with Stokes on some matters and disagree with him on others.

Othor doesn't understand comparing Dumb and Dumber

Anonymous said...

Well I at least now know what all this is about. It's not Waste Mgt. vs Richards, it's Gibbs vs the mayors man. I do agree that someone doing a good job doesn't need to be kicked to the gutter.---Why couldn't our fabulous press corp pick up on this and explain it to the citizens. I guess that takes a little effort.

Fat Melvin on Twitworld blaming everybody under the sun for the woes of his boss. Inside of that administrative echo chamber Lumumba is as pure as a newborn and his motives beyond reproach. Many of the bites deposited here anonymously are 99% verbatim from Melvin.

I have no issues with Stokes, he makes sense.. Its his delivery that's booboo

Anonymous said...

Struck by how many neighbors/constituents slowed down and honked at him while he was giving the front porch. Not in a bad way, but showing their affinity for him. For all his flaws, he could win a mayoral race in Jackson.

Consider if you will...

Instead of rolling your clocks forward one hour tonight, imagine this is one year ago and somebody told you that in a year, you'd be suggesting Stokes should be mayor of our capital city.

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. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.
