Jackson Jambalaya

I listened. Great points. Called out those who need calling out. We've got a Blackmon in the House and a Blackmon in the Senate. Where's their legislation? What, other than running their mouths do they do?

Same is true of the entire black delegation whose only purpose is to (attempt to) block legislation, while proposing none.

While their purpose is opposing legislation, their motive is nothing more than re-election, and as Kim says, due to gerrymandering these black people in office have a lock on their election by blacks who vote democrat.

Kim, The Radio Strong Man, is also labeled Uncle Tom by the so-called black leadership. They can't debate Kim or oppose his points. But they can label him. Like screaming RACISM at every turn, labeling others Uncle Tom no longer works.

"Big Booty Women" and "JPS having its own wing up at Parchman"...What a well-spent 30 minutes listening to Kim.

I live in NE Jackson and I am sick of reading on the website next door about these jackson residents complaining about the governor talking about Jackson crime and bashing HB 1020they should be mad at the local elected officials. These are often liberal whites complaining

Now that the CC of Jackson neighborhood has ask Sen. Walter Michael to create legislation to allow
Them to be off of the city of Jackson water I wonder how mich fuss Lumumba will create. Hey as a citizen and homeowner in the country club we would call dr Omari and the mayors office with no return calls for nearly a yr now
I bet this will generate some action. Sorry but if you mess with people
That have money they can make decisions for themselves and we have.

Hallerluyah!

Geez this guy is the voice of reason. If he's running for mayor, I'm voting for him.

Sometime Kim is right. Sometime Kim is wrong. But Kim is always providing an alternative viewpoint. In a city where failure is the norm that's absolutely essential. The so-called leaders must never be allowed to feel comfortable while the place falls apart. This Bill upsets them. Good. They thought running a city into the ground would be fun and profitable. Well, it may still be profitable for them, but at least someone like Kim make make it less than fun. Someone must let these people know that no matter the excuses from the past there is a price to be paid for incompetence.

I guess no one is interested in the face that privately owned wells are exempted from EPA testing or standards.
Nor are you interested in why the homes wanted off the well system back when they opted against staying on it.
Nor should anyone care about the 2021 negotiations with EPA and what is and is not considered " not attainable" in their safety requirements.
But, then Sen. Michel is known for not "bothering" with educating himself on any issue.

6.53 that is a thought. How long before areas ask to leave the city because of lack of city services.

Too bad the area bordered by Lakeland, Ridgewood and JA can’t secede. We might stay, if so.

Funnier still, if 10:15am got his wish and Eastover became Flowood...can you imagine the heads that would explode as they watched the city of Flowood use the tax collection influx to actually pave the roads and police Eastover with an effective judicial system.

It would immediately be deemed racist against Jackson, and they would demand to be given a massive federal grant so they too, could have all the same benefits.

And no matter how much money you give Jackson's current leaders, the resulting infrastructure and crime controls would never even be close.

Yet they will never understand that their own racism (not the racism they think they endure) is the real source of their demise. Hiring based on skin tone alone got you here Jackson. Good luck.

He is spot on, as usual. Too bad the people that need to hear this won't open their ears to listen.

Wish Kim was mayor instead of Lumbumble

What does the slogan about 2025 mean?

10:47 In all fairness Flowood or any other city would be more than happy to accept Eastover into it's boundaries with it's tax base, but what if Flowood had to also accept Bailey Avenue and other parts of the 'hood? Getting to Cherry Pick is a dream come true, but being stuck with the ghettos is a nightmare Jackson must somehow manage. Presently the management does not meet the challenge.

Law and Order by any means necessary!

I agree fully 11:57.

Any city would welcome Eastover and also would not want Bailey Ave.

Now that we agree, what is the city of Jackson doing to improve Bailey Avenue? What are they doing to make Eastover want to contribute more to the coffers?

Surely Jackson is actively working on Crime and Policing improvements? Infrastructure reliability? And they must be incentivizing gentrification and businesses to also increase the tax revenue that can be used to improve Bailey Ave?

Right? Otherwise we are back to...nobody should blame Eastover if they jumped ship.
But they would. They would.

12:31 You are right. They are doing nothing effective. They oppose gentrification, adamantly. Their solutions are mostly socialist inspired double-talk that only drives business money and aspiring young people to the suburbs. And to their dismay they need that same money, bad. Jackson's terrible misfortune is that it's caught in the middle of some classroom social experiment it can't afford.

City of Madison here: We do not want Eastover. Thanks

I don't agree with Kim on everything, but he's right here.

The Mayor, some on the County Council, and the legislative black caucus are complaining about what the legislature has approved or is doing to help make Jackson safer. But yet what are their own plans ? What have they proposed to help with Jackson's problems ? I hear lots of complaints but no plans of their own.

-What is Mayor Lumumba doing to reduce crime ?
-What is Mayor Lumumba doing to hire more police officers ?
-What is the Mayor doing to create more after-school programs and get these 14 and 15 year olds off the streets and from committing crimes?
-What is Mayor Lumumba doing to create economic development and bring more businesses and jobs to Jackson ? (And I'm not taking about another fast food restaurant. I'm talking about industry, lots of jobs not just 5, and higher paying jobs.)
-What is the Board of Supervisors doing to hire more judges ?

The list goes on and on. What is the Mayor doing to make things better ? Promoting a clean up the trash campaign ? That's a step, but a whooooooole lot more than that is needed. All we hear is complaining and screams of racism from him, but yet no proposals or other plans of action. I've said it a million times, the Mayor is a good talker and can "talk the talk", but yet he clearly cannot "walk the walk" and actually accomplish anything that makes Jackson better and safer.

Its sad, but the below average intelligence of the typical Chuck apologist...they are the main people that suffer and deserve better.

Yet they moronically join the "Tate hates Jackson" chant at the behest of their abysmal leader. They all repeat the fed talking points on Social Media and defend him based on some low brow Stockholm Syndrome.

Its sad. They fight for him and he lets them die in the crime riddled hell-hole he curated.
Can't help those that don't want it.

You can’t fix stupid. Stop trying, they are too stupid and arrogant to even listen and consider wise counsel.

@ 1:59 - While I appreciate your honesty and gut-fire, after school programs have never done a damned thing to combat or reduce crime and juvenile delinquency.

Art classes, field trips, mural painting and midnight basketball are all wastes of effort and money.

5:15 What do you suggest, public flogging? You'll have to move to Afghanistan. Bye.

Im not 1:15 but I know what wont work.

MORE MONEY for the Real Time Command Center. And that female from the COJ said that with a straight face on WLBT this morning. As a valid alternative to CCID expansion.

It does not affect me (other than it makes me sad to see so many minorities blatantly abused by one of their own) and everyone deserves to live in a city that reflects their wants and ideals. Who am I to begrudge them if they prefer murder and ruins.
