Jackson, Miss. Mayor-elect Chokwe Lumumba: I Plan to Build the "Most Radical City on the Planet"

Democracy Now ^

A black Muslim communist. What could go wrong?

[Pearls Before Swine]

He will do wonders for local real estate values. /S

[PGR88]

Unlike Fed.gov, he can’t print money and create massive debt in a paper currency with manipulated interest rates to fund his schemes.

Go for it Chokwe - give us all another example of statism and socialism failure. It seems humans need a constant reminder of the evil it is.

[Psalm 73]

"Patrice Lumumba"

Wow. 'Nuff said.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Only until the Indian Immigrant Commie-Babe gets herself elected Mayor in Seattle.

[DIRTYSECRET]

Watch the number of guns multiply

[Bringbackthedraft]

Who remembers Patrice Lumumba of the Congo? Is there a tie here?

[PGR88]

The city is 80% black and has poverty rate of 35%. I think I see where he is heading.

[DoughtyOne]

While Chokwe Lumumba is the son of the late Jackson Mayor Chokwe Lumumba, (a longtime black nationalist organizer and attorney) , I'm sure this kumquat doesn't fall far from the tree.

It's unfathomable to me that people could be this stupid.

[VietVet876]

Good luck with those state and federal funds, champ.

[NorthMountain]

given that name from our namesake, Patrice Lumumba

Patrice Lumumba was a communist revolutionary. The USSR renamed one of their international terrorism/communism "universities" after him.

[Bringbackthedraft]

Lumumba was a hero in the USSR, they named a University after him, so I guess we know in which direction this Lumumba is going. No Mubuto to run against him. All of a sudden I feel like its the 60’s again.

I read the interview and all I got out of the “great plans” he has for the city is that he’s going to pick up the trash that litters the streets. Nothing else there but the usual hot air.

[HiTech RedNeck]

No kidding. I hope the number of serious gospel believers also multiplies. There’s religion and then there’s that.

[The_Media_never_lie]

Gee, I want to move there! I’m sure they would welcome a white guy with open arms. I always thought I would have to emigrate to Zimbabwe to get this experience.

[blam]

Jackson, MS is the only place where I’ve ever seen a mall with a 12 foot fence around it with guards at all the entrances and exits.

[BBQToadRibs]

I remember being young and ridiculously idealistic. Enjoy that moment. That moment soon enough ends.

[BenLurkin]

How does he plan to pay for it?

[MrBambaLaMamba]

I wish him luck.
