Jackson Jambalaya

This guy in the video obviously is well educated and pretty funny. Nice off the cuff delivery

Is he saying Ackerman, MS? WTF?

I believe he is actually referring to Akron Ohio....not sure why he is using "Mississippi" in his delivery.

This an example of what the black community should be listening to instead of shitheads like SHarpton and Jackson.

Finally a black man that speaks the truth

finally someone speaking the truth. we can only hope that these people also realize what obama intentions are and reverse course before it is too late.

I received the video several days ago and think it's a comedy mock up. He obviously is NOT in Jackson and is not saying Jackson. He seems to be saying Akron. Also that's not the name of the NAACP president.

Meople,

What, pray tell, are "Obama's intentions"?


Andrew M. Newcomb

Probably any number of intentions Andrew by a white African-American who has increased our federal government debt by $5,027,761,476,484.56 in only 39 months. Its the Obama Debt Douche.

go f*ck yourself andrew, i dont feel like explaining the idiocracy of obama and his cronies to another tree hugging close minded liberal. ecspecially one who knows better. question:do you think obama is doing the best he can to fix our economy (inflation, unemployment, taxes) Andrew there is no one more dangerous than a highly educated liberal who actually weighs the differences and choses to be a liberal. Mississippi became one step closer to perfection when you moved to Colorado. Oh yeah and becoming a liberal because you want to rebell against your parents is surely a perfect alternative to the middle or even a click right.

uh ruh.....what in the hell is a "buck dance"?.....

http://www.akroncitycouncil.org/Find_your_Councilperson/entry/Michael_Williams/

"buck dancing" was an old time
(19th century or earlier) ritualized entertainment. I don't know if it was done for other African-Aericans or done to please white people; surely someone here can explain it better than I.

Buck dancing is like clogging or tap dancing and I think he's making a comparison to the African-Americans who would tap dance and sing to entertain wealthy, mostly white crowds in the 1920s and 1930s.

Do you know any basic HTML at all?

Rush Limbaugh in black-face.

He's saying Akron Ms. Its in the county where Ike Brown lives. I can't think of the county....But I spent a year there one day.

Very well reasoned comment. But, your ad hominem attack on me avoids the question.

And, since it sounds like you believe you know me from your cute comments, I'd like to point out an indiscrepancy- I'm not a "tree hugging liberal"; perhaps in Mississippi I would be considered so. However, I own and shoot guns. I believe in the Castle doctrine, to an extent. I believe that the government should not interfere in the private lives of individuals in any circumstance that is not criminal. I believe in reduced government spending, and I don't like paying taxes any more than the most conservative person. I believe the power of eminent domain is of the most evil, as it displaces those from their constitutional right to own property. I believe that social safety net programs should be reworked to reduce fraud. I'm actually quite traditionally conservative.

On to the question that I asked but you didn't answer, Mr. Obama didn't, at the time of the election, use fear to get my vote as the Republican nominees did. He still does not use fear to build consensus. He has an open-mind, and he employs it. He has a list of successes in his term that I am sure you don't care for me to discuss. He's also disappointed me in several ways, primarily in his failure to reduce spending. Most of the things you pin on him were decisions that were made by the prior administration, and fully endorsed by Obama. So, we really should agree on them. Not that you give a damn about actually discussing the question I posed to you initially.

I'm glad that Mississippi took one more step towards perfection in your view; you've got plenty more to go, friend. Nonetheless, Mississippi's my home state and I am proud of where I'm from.

I'm not proud that people associate me with luminaries like you when they hear the name of the state.

Since you believe you know my family so well, you might want to take another look at their history in the state. That should help inform you on how I came to be such a "filthy" liberal.

Let the rhetoric rain down like fire!

Cheers,

Andrew M. Newcomb

Ike Brown is from Macon MS in Noxubee County

Thumbs up, Andrew! You sound like my kind of man. My family has lived in Mississippi since 1837 - 8 generations. And I would be called a liberal because I do not think the federal or State budgets should be balanced on the backs of the poor and the elderly. I would be called a liberal because I don't think that government has a right to invade a woman's body in order to advance a particular religious belief. In my view there's little difference between Mississippi republicans and Taliban terrorists who would impose Sharia law. The haters will never acknowledge simple truths. People want to be free of government interference in their lives.

It's all a mock-up, farcicle bit of tomfoolery you bunch of goobs.

In my view there's little difference between Mississippi republicans and Taliban terrorists who would impose Sharia law.

The ignorant such as yourself should take the lead of the 'simple truths' parade. The idea that there is a similarity between Republicans in any state and Taliban practicing Sharia is all you need to show us regarding the delusional world in which you live.

DING! DING! DING!

We have a winner!

That is the most foolish, inane, and downright stupid comment I have every seen on this blog. And no, I'm not a Republican.

Fossilized Hag -

That's old ---

Bill Dees. Exactly on point. Which is why I have started prefering to call the Mississippi Republicans the "Talibaptists". And Feel Bryant is going to get all the credit, or blame, for everything they do on his watch for the next four years. Feel Bryant better be saving his money and making sure his top 4 PERS/SLURP retirement monies are being accurately added correctly: cuz he is sure going to need it when he comes back to Rankin county.

Razor

JJ is slipping off into derangement.

obamas intentions: to put more people on welfare, to take more money from the middle class which he promised he wouldnt do, to take more power away from the states, to tax small business more either through the tax system or through obamacare, (JUST SAY "WHEN" YOUVE HEARD ENOUGH), amnesty to illegal immigrants with benefits, to not only make americans dependent on gas but to make us dependent on $5 a gallon gas, not only will he be the president who personally spent more money in the whitehouse he also tripled the deficit. And with all that said we will see his sorry ass for four more years...

and if you are saying that mccain used fear to get hte vote you are freakin nuts...

hey andrew tell us the positives that obama has done. @curious

The sentiment expressed is a ration one in my mind. Just the other week, I read a great OpEd piece in the WSJ or the NYT that expressed the same sort of concerns. It is high time those who are not in alignment with the "oppressed" point of view be heard. Based on what I am reading more and more the AA community is sick and tired of being labelled by those clinging to the past.

The past was a great struggle this nation got right. Today, as times have changed, new problems emerged. Deal with the real problems in the community not those that make news headlines celebrating successes of the past.

Bill Dees said: "I don't think that government has a right to invade a woman's body in order to advance a particular religious belief."

What are you talking about? Pro-Lifers want to keep the government from allowing people to invade a woman's body to rip apart another human being. That is not advancing a religious belief, it is a stand for human rights. People have inherent worth regardless of convenience.

Dude's a Steeler fan. What'd you expect?

A cautionary message to those in Jackson who are deluded and deceived by one Tony Yarber.

Dear Andrew Newcomb,

We all know that you are smart and did well on standardized tests, went to Law School, and like so many in your profession, became elitist who thinks a earning a J.D. makes you the most brilliant person in the world. I have thought about what drives someone like yourself to become "progressive", and by that I mean your recent move to Colorado to "find yourself" or at least a 40 dollar quarter bag of tasty weed, vote like a democrat, and generally think everyone in the state of your birth that has an opinion different from yours is an idiot. Well, my theory is as follows: You suffer from what is known as "cognitive dissidence" which is what cult members feel for believing false and ridiculous premises that they intuitively know are false, but are made to profess by their cult colleges as a dogmatic truth. You feel compelled as a result of the inner turmoil to try to convert as many people to your now false belief system as a result of having to profess it while deeply knowing how full of shit it really is.

Andrew, good luck. I hope that one day when you have the good fortune to make as much money as Hugo did in the cell phone tower leasing business, you come to your senses and realize that being progressive is really just a fad for young people who hate their parents and the society that raised them. When you get nauseated realizing how much money the federal government takes from you to give someone who isn't working to buy votes, I would like you to give us a ring back and tell us how you feel. There is hope for you and all young progressives, it is call success and children. You will realize giving your money away to lazy people pisses you off. In the mean time, and I really mean this, go fuck yourself.

7.57
great post. the guy's proud of appealing a motion ,according to his firm site?! at my age i get tired of seeing a lawyer w less than 10 yrs experience posing.

A-mothersucking-men 7:57.

And I would like to donate $100 in the name of 7:57 to JJ

I also want to by 7:57 a drink. Cheers.

.....but did he mean Cognitive dissonance?

An example is suggesting people go fuck themselves while, at the same time, knowing that's impossible.

Thanks for the input folks.

This began as a question about what Obama's "intentions" were, and turned into a flame war because I posted my name. Oops. The guy that named his "intentions" can't be taken seriously, if he really believes that any president or political party intends to do the things he listed.

Now, back to the attack on me for no real reason other than espousing a view. I can't help myself, being an elitist and all; it's cognitive dissonance, which doesn't mean exclusively what you said. It simply means holding conflicting viewpoints and trying to rationalize them. I am sure that I do that in some areas, as I am a rationalist and a Christian, so there's one example. I am fairly certain everyone has this character flaw. However, I don't have any guilt or dissonance about anything related to my politics or personal viewpoint. Thank God, however, for cognitive disequilibrium, which I certainly suffer from.

You're quite the armchair psychologist re: me and my family. My unabashed "progressivism" has nothing to do with any hatred or guilt. As far as being "progressive", you should check out the Know Mississippi Better train, which was started by my great-grandfather to help improve Mississippi's visibility across the country during the Depression. He was a pretty awesome guy, and I model myself after him.

I was raised by my parents and grandparents to do right by every person that I see. It's in the bible and stuff, Matthew 7:12. The Golden Rule, maybe you've been briefed on it.

Anyway, if you would like to confront me and let me know who you are, why don't you flame me on my work e-mail? I won't reveal who you are; I promise. It's on my firm site, as the other attorney noted.

I would like to continue the dialogue with you if you'd like. Otherwise, it's been fun getting pelted with stones.

Andrew M. Newcomb

I invited you (andrew)to answer a question before you through your little pity party... I know its no fun for a narcissist to stick to the subject like you so demand of other readers.

Andrew, I hear that the passion play is looking for someone to play Jesus. You could nail yourself to the cross and feel persecuted formally.

A.N.,

Take down the shingle, then, stop thinking like a progressive liberal stuck in the 60's, and then, attempt, to think about what you say.

You guys are a riot. I think it is pretty amazing that any one would try and label me as a "progressive liberal", but then I remember that the comments come from the internet, from the most backward group of anonymous thinkers on the internet.

I don't feel persecuted. This blog has rapidly become a big circle-jerk for those who like to make themselves feel better about their veiled racism, wagon circling, and status as 50th in nearly every measurable category.

It's fine. You're all anonymous, which gives your well-reasoned commentary the weight of a feather. But, it's all good. You'll go to bed and sleep soundly with your ADT alarms tightly guarding your possessions, and think of ways to jam your archaic viewpoints into the container of your badly perverted version of religion. You'll justify living in the outskirts of a town that you loathe, which is possibly the most depressing/hysterical part of this: you all hate where you're from!

I'm done here, which will make you happy. It will also achieve what is the biggest disservice to Mississippi- reject any opposing view so that you can surround yourself only with sycophants.

Have a great time bitching about how Jackson is "going to hell" and then trashing everyone who tries to do anything to make it better or is more successful than each of you.

Andrew M. Newcomb

Bye Andrew, don't get your ass hung on the doorknob on the way out.

Wow what pompous ass clown. Just started reading and this guy belongs on th Jackson city council with all the other elite pompous "got a law degree from um now what" jerk off @twitterwell
