Lumumba Unvarnished

Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba whipped out the race card and accused the state of trying to make Jackson "less black" in a conversation secretly recorded by former Deputy Public Works Director Mary Carter.  The recording was revealed in Ms. Carter's federal civil trial this week. 

Hizzoner said "There is a coordinated effort to take this water treatment facility away and that effort is bigger than the typical little politics we get into. If that happens,  that is going to be the first step of making this city no longer black. And I'm not talking some large conspiracy. It's what happened in Detroit.  Detroit ain't as black as it used to be. It’s a change in the politics. And the reason that happened is they know that is the way you finance and support everything you do. So we know that while they are making their effort..."

Start at 2:30

The Mayor also said former State Health Officer Dr. Thomas Dobbs resigned his position because "he was fed up with them."  It  is presumed "them" means the state.  Hizzoner said public works "is on life support" while Chief of Staff Safiya Omari (PhD) said "We got people getting paychecks who ain't doing work. People got cars and don't do nothing but sit up in the office all day."  


Kingfish note: That was the news, now for the opinion.  Hmmm.... the Mayor complains white flight devastated Jackson's finances and crippled the water/sewer system yet he also complains the state wants to make the city less black.  Which is it, Mayor?  Or maybe it's a case of he just wants the white folks' money but doesn't want them to live in Jackson.  Do these statements mean the Mayor is a Black Separatist?  

I've got news for you, Mayor.   There is no grand conspiracy to make Jackson "less black" as you put it . The whites aren't coming back to Jackson, especially if they have kids and can't afford expensive private schools.  They don't want to come back to poor schools, traffic signals that don't work, and pothole-laden roads.  They don't want to come back to a city where the Mayor makes it quite clear they are unwanted.  They want to live in cities that actually work.  That goes for quite a few blacks, your honor, as they have moved out of Jackson as well. Simply put, the whites who have moved out don't want Jackson and an increasing number of blacks don't want it either. 

Then there is the matter of Detroit.  Did Detroit really become less black? Let's look at some census numbers.  The Mayor claims he likes to do research, let's check his research. The statistics posted below are derived from the U.S. census.

1990: Blacks 76%, Whites 22%

2000: Blacks 82%, Whites 12%, Hispanics 5%

2010: Blacks 83%, Whites 11%, Hispanics 5%

2020: Blacks 78%, Whites 11%, Hispanics 10%

Contrary to what the Mayor claims, the white population in Detroit is half of what it was in 1990 and has remained at 11-12% for the last twenty years.  Blacks comprise nearly 80% of the population. Although the white population proportion remained unchanged, the population is little more than half of what it was in 2000 (116,599/68407).  The black population fell from 775,772 to 496,534. 

Just one more example of Lumumba making up facts on the fly, reality be damned.  

I seem to remember Ridgeland getting in trouble with HUD because private emails between officials and residents complained about the city and schools becoming less white.  Double standard?

Ever wonder why the black cities like Jackson and Canton are crumbling while the white cities like Flowood, Brandon, Madison, Gluckstadt are growing?

Chockwe is like, I don't care if my city crumbles; that we can't provide trash service, water, airport flights, police, etc etc as long as the city remains black at all costs.

Modern whites are just so disgusting. Passive aggressively racist. Y’all too scared to openly say what y’all want to say so y’all always use dog whistles. Even this blogger will only approve a racist comment if it is shrouded in code words. As a black man I prefer the old fashioned racist peckerwood who made their racism clear for everyone to hear. Y’all all still racists. Now y’all quiet, timid, and sneaky like parasitic worms.

Thank you KF. Facts and trustworthy data are powerful tools.

@9:53 You can call a white guy a peckerwood on this site... that is not veiled racism.

Do you not think what the mayor said is racist? Why do y'all want your city to be "less white". That is just plain ignorant.

I'm sick of racist mayors that want to disqualify me from my right to live in Jackson, even though the property that I live on and own has been in my family since 1965. I'm tired of the racist opinion of every color and gender that taps a keyboard on this blog and I'm tired of people attesting to how I feel about Jackson because I'm white. I have a right to live here as much as anyone else that bleeds red. Period.

I'm not going anywhere. Give me what my taxes pay for, nothing more. I will live in my birthright, here in my share of this city for as long as I want to. I will defend it to the death if you come and try to take it, break into it or steal from me what's on it and legally belongs to me.

This racists bullshit has got to stop because the majority of hard-working people in this city, black and white alike, have had enough. This ain't a black city and it ain't a white city. It's a city for all.

When Lumumba says "less black," I don't think he's talking so much about black skin as much as he's talking about his idea of black culture.

He wants more bigoted, Black Nationalists, like the guy at 9:53. That's where Lumumba's support lies, and he knows it. They'll let him get away with anything, so long as he keeps talking the talk.

What are Conspiratorial people? The history books are full of conspiracies. There was an evil conspiracy to infect the African American community with syphilis called the Tuskegee Experiment. Gary Webb exposed that there was an evil conspiracy to traffic crack cocaine to poor African Americans. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIA_involvement_in_Contra_cocaine_trafficking and Jeremy Renner even portrayed Gary Webb in the movie about the efforts by the US government to silence and assassinate him.

You and I both know the answer to that, KF. Jr. is the same as Sr. They were both Black Nationalists.

to CL’s credit, he must have been to Detroit recently. The downtown and immediately surrounding neighborhoods are awesome! and the entire city is on the rebound. it’s not less “black”-more like less crime, improving neighborhoods, increased vibrancy and even the schools are getting better.

sounds like someone should have a little talk with the good people who now govern Detroit!

Please try to understand: IT'S ALL ABOUT WHO'S DRIVING THE BUS NOT WHERE THE BUS IS GOING. The mayor and his minions will never admit it outright but it's just another power grab. Actually it's very American.

He knows he can say whatever he wants with zero consequences.

His racism will actually be praised in national publications. The comments from his low IQ defenders on social media are the proof. Nobody cares about facts anymore. Appeals to emotions, drama and racism don't even have to be true anymore.

The average American thrives on anger, hate and divisiveness.

I call it the Kardashian effect. And it has infected lunatic extremist conservatives too.

Assuming its not a troll, you will never make the 9:53s of the world see the racism in Lumumba.

They simply do not possess the intellect of a free thinker so they follow the herd.

They exist on both sides of the aisle and they are easy to spot. Don't waste your breath. You are already supporting them in some form if you work and pay taxes because they will never be productive members of society. Don't give them any more of your resources.

This is the same thing the Lumumba’s were saying in 2013 when Senior was running for Mayor. The narrative then centered around his opposition campaigning against Siemens. We see how that turned out. It’s the same recycled scare tactics.

The word incompetent isn't a dog whistle for a racist term. It's the polite way to say someone is a dumbass.

11:59, you might not believe this, but not everyone on the Internet is identifying themselves truthfully.

Reminds me of a favorite cartoon: dog in front of a computer, saying, "On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog." That must have gone over your head.

Detroit is far more white than 10 yrs ship white mayor also plus Dan Gilbert pumping millions into downtown.

Kingfish said...

If there was some plan to wrest the water system away, it's because the city proved through successive administrations it could not operate the water system.

As for Detroit, the census numbers don't lie. What happened is although whites fled Detroit, downtown became a little whiter. Some of it is because property values fell so low the law of supply and demand started working. Small businesses opened up downtown and people moved there as well. Quicken loans made a HUGE commitment to downtown as well.

The Receiver made strides but Detroit took a major step forward when it elected a former executive. The opponent was the community activist type. You know the kind, long on words, little on ideas

Statistical reporting like this is why I financially support JJ, Jackson metro’s only possible chance of getting the truth, instead of propaganda Opinions.

As one the original and great African American civil rights icons Robert L. “Bob” Woodson stated in 2020, “In the past 50 years, $22 Trillion has been spend on poverty programs…70% goes not to the poor, but those who serve poor people.”

9:53 AM, and therein lies the scam, so keep on baiting, and keep on whining; just don’t be foolish enough to think we don’t understand the scam.

Can you imagine what would happen if a white mayor said they were trying to make xyz city less black?

Saltwaterpappy said...

The receivership of the city's water system is a success. If we want the rest of the city's basic functions to operate in a competent manner, the solution is for the city to go into Chapter 12 bankruptcy. If memory serves me correctly, Birmingham, Alabama did this several years ago. By placing the city under the control of a bankruptcy trustee, the racial policies that are endemic now will be eliminated.

9:53 AM, I agree with you, “Modern whites are just so disgusting.”

White elitist Democrats allow the destruction of cities like Jackson via crime, since crime keeps voters away that won’t vote Democrat, and these modern day white elitist Democrats keep their silence while crime is rampant, including innocent children dying from stray bullets; all in exchange for votes in state and federal elections, while said white elitist Democrats live behind gates, or in the burbs controlled by non-Democrats.

Yep, disgusting!

These comments should enrage ALL Jackson residents - black, white, everyone. The fact that people in that room were audibly agreeing with his comments goes to show how much he surrounds himself with "yes" men and women. It's clear that his priorities are entirely out of whack if he would rather continue to provide the citizens of Jackson with subpar water, streets and safety than let a group that happens to have members of another race step in to help. Hell, he even hates the white democrat the feds appointed to manage the water and sewer system just because of the color of his skin.

But don't forget to blame white flight when it's convenient!!

I don’t like going here, but the mayor’s comments make it necessary. Jackson MS has had majority black leadership for I believe the last 27 years. How can you continue to blame white people for all of Jackson’s problems. I would love to see all come together and help our Capital City work towards being a Capital City we can be proud of…there’s always hope.

In the Land of Kush and Marxism this is how you are reared to think. His daddy was a full blown Marxist , JPD hating, fbi hating son of a bitch. His daddy and use that loosely, had very close ties to the Republic of New Afrika, and that group was responsible for the killing of a JPD officer, Bill Skinner and the shooting of an agent with the fbi. He didn’t fall far from that tree

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.
