One of the Mayor's true believers is at it again on social media.
The Double Standard of Black Bravery: Shedeur Sanders vs. Chokwe Antar Lumumba When Shedeur Sanders stood proud in his truth, refusing to bow to the NFL machine, declaring his worth, flexing his power, many Black folks rallied around him. They saw the NFL’s shade, the establishment’s games, and said: “Stand tall, young king. Don’t let them break you.” They understood that when a Black man knows his value, it shakes the foundations of systems built on exploiting him. But when Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba, a revolutionary son, a radical Black mayor in the heart of the Blackest city in America, stands on that same righteous foundation, refuses to bow to white political interests, corporate vultures, and extremist powers, the story shifts. Instead of celebration, he gets called “corrupt.” Instead of support, he gets betrayed, not just by white supremacy, but by his own people, who let the enemy whisper lies into their ears. They attack him like crabs in a barrel, while forgetting the real oppressors who built the barrel in the first place. We cheer when a Black quarterback resists the draft politics of the NFL. We crucify a Black mayor who resists the political draft of empire. The message is clear: Black bravery is celebrated when it entertains. But Black bravery is punished when it liberates. What Shedeur faces in the NFL is what Chokwe Antar faces in government: A system that demands submission, then punishes resistance. The difference? We know the NFL ain’t never been our friend. But we still pretend the Democratic Party and the political system are. We want Black faces in high places, But not Black power that refuses to kiss the ring. We want Blackness that entertains our ego, Not Blackness that threatens the empire. Until we love Black freedom fighters the way we love Black athletes, Until we stand with Black liberation the way we stand with Black pride, We will keep losing, not because of them, but because we forgot who we are. Stop celebrating Shedeur for standing tall if you can’t celebrate Mayor Lumumba for standing free. Both are sons of a radical tradition. Both are refusing to sell out. Both deserve our unwavering, unshakable solidarity. Freedom ain’t entertainment. It’s a revolution.
Um yeah. Didn't have an agent. Father told teams there were certain ones he would not play for. The Athletic reported he treated interviews as recruiting visits and not interviews for a job . Didn't read playbooks he was given as shown by his misses on intentional errors placed in the books - standard practice for potential draftees. Didn't react well when shown some of his bad plays and asked to explain them - standard practice when drafting quarterbacks. GMs said his were some of the worst interviews they had ever seen .
Nice arm but struggles with a short pass. Not known for mobility. Played .500 ball in a weaker conference . Never had a game as Dart did where he shredded a top Georgia defense loaded with NFL studs. It can be argued the Buffalo receiving corps was on par with Ole Miss if not better. Known for throwing teammates under the bus. What you call submission is what coaches call coachable. Is he coachable? Will he take direction?
But yeah, let's martyr someone along with those who sold their votes and contracts on video.

This woman is a total idiot. Sanders will likely be out of the NFL in a season or two at most. As for Chokwe the real shitshow LuDUMBa… well, you can talk about the racial make up of Jackson all she wants however, ward one still pays the most taxes for the city and it’s not all black and has been the targeted group of PhD Omari and LuDUMBa for too long. They voted and his ass is out! It’s not just ward one but the other wards said you don’t represent our views and you need to
Leave. It was overwhelmingly obvious. So go cry to your other mental midget friends that support your racist views. The rest of the world has passed you by. Thankfully might I add
This is the dumbest perspective I've read about Shadon't yet. How can people this stupid possibly be reasoned with? There's no common ground to be found with this a person who thinks like this.
I don't know who Shedeur Sanders is, but I know Chokwe Antar by his works/fruits: all rotten
Arrogance coupled with ignorance...both of them. Plain and simple.
Fairly ironic that her rant is based on the premise the Black America at large can think for itself when it comes to the perception of a quarterback, but black Jacksonians do not have the ability to think for themselves when it comes to who they choose to be their mayor. Her rant also conveniently ignores the fact that black Jacksonians were able to think for themselves when they elected the man twice, but not when they chose not to elect him.
And don't forget the actual evidence against Lockmeaway...
Can't wait for the trial of the century next year.
Lamumba is a criminal. He is going to jail. No one cares any more if he pledges allegiance to the flag of the country that freed his people for the price of half a million dead soldiers. We just want him gone and we're getting closer to that objective.
Free the City of Jackson!
I’m not saying all this is true. But the fix was definitely in on sanders to send a message.
No way he should have been drafted that late.
Blame Nil. Sanders was paid almost triple the average starting salary for NFL. He as seen as not hungry enough
Dion is both an equal asset and liability to his kids. Either they will have to cut the cord or life is gonna do it
If there was a job for radical spokesperson for black independence I would seriously consider voting for Antar. But I live in a city falling apart with bad everything and I want better. I cannot see how voting for Antar for the job of mayor will make it better. Simple as that. He should seek another employment calling for his talents as a revolutionary hero seeking the liberation of his people and leave municipal government to someone who can deliver. And if Mr. Sanders can play football as well as he thinks, he will be just fine. No problem. Free the Land!
All this because he lost an election. Get a damn life and move on, he lost. There are other things he can do.
Let’s move on from both of them, I am thinking about my family’s future! Neither one of them fools cook my cornbread!
Lumumba was elected twice by the very people who this idiot says "betrayed" him. They gave him his chance and his city is not improving it's failing badly. They do not owe him a lifetime job because he is so black. The NFL does not owe any athlete a first round pick if they question his value, no matter what HE thinks his value is. He will have his chance to prove himself by his ability not his talk. He's not the first black person or the last who must put up or shut up. If he's really good he will welcome the opportunity to do so. I think the quarterback will do well. I think Antar Lumumba should shut up since he failed to put up.
I am not reading any of this deranged drivel. The mayor has proved his lack of ability to do anything competent to stop Jackson’s deterioration. All one has to do is look at the state of affairs in Jackson. He cannot blame yellow, green or purple, he was the leader that set the tone for Jackson. He surrounded himself with those of questionable character and integrity that further contributed to the downfall of Jackson. He is a miserable failure playing the blame game.
3:22 is right.. there are other things he can do...like become a federal inmate at a federal prison....extended stay .

I had a turkey sandwich for lunch today, and while it looked simple at first glance, each bite revealed a careful balance of flavors—the turkey was tender and subtly seasoned, layered thick enough to feel substantial without overwhelming the bread. A swipe of Dijon mustard gave it a sharp edge that lingered pleasantly, while slices of tomato and crisp romaine added just the right amount of freshness and crunch. The multigrain bread held it all together with a gentle nutty finish, making the whole thing feel oddly well-considered for a midday meal I hadn’t put much thought into.
This sounds like the people on forest gump who got their party crashed when he beat up the guy who slapped Jenny.
sorry I ruined your black panther party
There is more than a grain of truth in what she says. The NFL is more show than substance. They care not a whit about the real problems in the Black community. The Democrat Party wants loyalists to vote the right way and then keep quiet for 4 years. Malcolm X was right!
I would place the arguement that both Sanders and Lumumba lost. Both told the future employers what they would do, not what the employers wanted. And because of that Choke-A-Chicken lost the race. I would say Sanders' draft position showed how a "me-first" attitude is also a losing method in trying to get a professional sports gig.
Somebody tell her the fella who won is black, too.
Sanders should sue that person for defamation. I was never sold on Sanders as an NFL prospect, but he was a good college qb who took a pounding. Antar, on the other hand, was 100% incompetent as mayor before we even get to his corruption.
Such a tiresome rant.
25% of Jackson voters chose our non-performing, incompetent, crooked, lying mayor. Who here can answer why? Yes I know Horhn is not up to the job.
4:52, you say, “ The NFL… care(s) not a whit about the real problems in the Black community” They are a business and do not care about problems in the white community or even the Samoan community. Like pretty much any business, their main concern is the bottom line. That said, they have put more money, through salaries, into the black community than the vast majority of entities.
The "Film" of Chowke is a lot better than the Sanders kid.
She ain't lying about them damn crabs in a barrel. Last time, no, maybe the time before that, anyway, them damn crabs hurt!
Mississippi is in fact a very racist state, but for you lefty reporters in the MSM it's not who you think it is.
To 4:41 with my best Tommy Chong imitation, "Wow, man..."

"I had a turkey sandwich for lunch today" I had some left over white limas over rice with the Zatarans White Bean seasoning. Really good
John Horhn and his wife will make a great Mayor & Lovely 1st Lady!
Don’t confuse the issue with facts.
If any of you had actually bothered to follow a bill through the legislature, including attending committee meetings and votes on the floor, you'd know Horhn was a work horse and not a show horse.
Show horses are party parrots and party animals. They don't have a clue whether a bill will a solve problem or has been successful in another state. Instead they rather get " freebies and favors" from lobbyists. There's no doubt some of you, given that you know zero about Horhn, are racists...your "hoods" are showing!
This is for Chucky Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity."
8:33, Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see anything in the comments tearing down John Horne.
As for the post, it looks like a fundraiser for Lumumba's defense (slush) fund, directed to the old guard from Detroit.
But most people don't celebrate self-centeredness, arrogance, pridefullness, and spoiled-rich-kid entitlement as virtues. Those qualities are generally considered character flaws.
The City of Jackson does not exist to serve Chockwe Lumumba, any more than the NFL exists to serve Shedeur Sanders.
BTW: As I recall, the Sanders family left Jackson after the Radical Mayor Lumumba failed to provide running water in the city for the first six weeks of football season in 2022. The Lumumba camp tore into them for betraying "the cause."
I suppose they were angry because they could no long mooch off of Deion's fame, but now here they go with Shedeur.
These people are idiots.
PSA-> No matter how hard you attempt to make yourself a victim of make believe racism, it will never work. You have more opportunity than any cracker I know.
After reading this, and the previous rants, I keep waiting on her to put in words what accomplishments the outgoing mayor achieved. It seems her only praise for him is that he’s a radical black man, and everyone that also has more melanin in their skin should be super impressed with that. Well, it’s obvious that Jackson residents have more faith in the new mayor elect. Why isn’t she impressed with the fact that Mr Horne, who is also a black man, has actual accomplishments on his resume? It’s so bizarre to me how racist this rant is, but it’s supposed to be celebrated in her mind.
I didn’t realize Sanders was the only black player in the draft and Lumumba was the only black candidate in the mayor’s race. The machine must have engineered only white people to be drafted/elected as Mayor, right?
"sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.", my man.
