I am drawing attention to this article, not because I agree with anything in it (I don't), but to point out that an elected official in our Mississippi House actually thinks, acts and talks in this way. It's important for people with an IQ over 90 to see what is happening in Jackson. There is such a palpable disconnect between the "haves" and the "have nots" and never the two shall meet it seems. That is why so many Jacksonians can't understand why some of the people we elect or appoint in city government actually get elected and appointed. I think both Horhn and Crisler would laugh about Evans and that's why I don't mind putting it out there. Having people read this won't hurt them in the least. In fact, it might help both of them.

Meanwhile, Speaker McCoy might want to look down his leadership roster and make sure that the views of those he's chosen reflects his own.

Mississippi PING!

Once again a Black politician from the Deep South, probably rasied in a sanctified, Bible-preachin', snake-handlin' church, is in all probability a full-throttle supporter of "gay rights," abortion, and everything else. When does bestiality get a "liberation" movement?

I guess the only reason it's still illegal for cousins to marry is because the "rednecks" allegedly like to do it.

“...he is black, by the way...”

Unnecessary addendum.

Only bulletproof, black politicans can get away with “racial tirades”, along with various and sundry other misbehaviors.

That is, unless it is another self-hating, white liberal slamming his or her’s own race; that too, would be solid ground.

Well at least Jackson will a have different Mayor.
Melton was a huge disappointment to a lot of
people including me.
Right now Melton is still in ICU with his heart problems.

He talks of many of our city leaders as white supremacists and robber barons.

Huh? I thought all of the recent crop of Jackson 'city leaders' were black.

Rading a little about Paul Cuffee on wiki; I think this is a person whose life story should become *very* visible. Read the article before some fascist rewrites history.

Evans is a Representative (though of what we're not quite sure) in the State Legislature.

I suspect it is highly likely that he is an excellent representative of the folks in his district. Just like, for example, Nancy Pelosi and Marion Barry. It's democracy in action.

Please put (Dem) in the headline. “Rep.” is used alone in MSM headlines to confuse the headline-only-reading public between “Representative” and “Republican”.

Jackson was such a nice place when I was young.

Now...not so much.

It’s a dang shame what’s happened to the city.

I love Y’all Politics!
