Because the white liberals who are starting the riots are scared to be around too many black people.

There’s really nothing to destroy downtown that would make you look twice. Some of those buildings need to be torn down anyway.

And the guy mentioning the potholes is not joking. I hit one the other day, my car rattled so bad I thought I was breaking through the earth’s atmosphere.

Some time back, Jackson had a pothole so bad that someone put a sign reading “Fix this motherfricker!” on a traffic barrel blocking it.

Less amusingly, it killed a girl on her way to HS graduation rehearsal because her convertible hit the pothole and flipped.

Blacks run those cities.

They would be protesting against themselves.



They run Atlanta. Didn't seem to matter there.

They(black folk) moving into the suburbs in big numbers. The combined metro Jackson area of Hinds, Madison, and Rankin counties are now minority White.

Atlanta is probably 60-40 and has a heavy history of race cards thrown. There is also big money there because of all the corporations based in the area.

Jackson is about 80-90% black and most of the rest of the state, and surrounding states, wished it would just go away. There is jack shite there because most of the development has moved over to suburbs like Flowood.

Actually, aside from the first few days of the unrest, in which there was a ton of looting, it’s been quiet in LA ever since. Couple protests at city hall and such, but nothing like Chicago, Seattle or Portland.

It seems to me most of the protestors and looters are whites in their early 20s and 30s.

At this point, lanes are just a suggestion in Jackson, it’s just a pothole dodge.

With that being said, Baby Chok has re-paved more streets than his last 3 predecessors.

That was an unsecured manhole on a newly paved road. But yeah the potholes are ridiculous in Jackson.

That wasn’t a pothole, it was an open manhole cover that was reported for days prior to that accident, yet never fixed.

Portland, OR has less than 3% black population and BLM is burning that shite to the ground.

Why are cities like Jackson, Memphis, Birmingham, and Little Rock whose
populations are predominantly AA, not rioting like Minneapolis and Portland???


This movement is much more so about white liberals (most of whom are never around any black people) to scream, yell, and raise hell in an anarchist and Marxist manner. The demographic is mainly 20-30 yr old trust fund big city type people...who have never had a job or career.

In the South blacks and whites work together, live in the same neighborhoods, pull for the same sports teams. Our children go to school together and play on the same teams.

99.99% of the time we get along.

We are the only place in America where we judge people on the content of their character and not the color of their skin.

Exactly. Life long Jackson area resident
- there are black people that would shoot me and steal all my shite. There are white people who would shoot me and steal all my shite. There are black people and white people who would have my back if either scenario should occur.

It’s amazing that the most vilified, supposedly racist state in the nation actually has our racial shite together.

It's been awhile since I was at Millsaps, but back then even if I felt like looting, I would have had to drive 30 minutes to find a store with anything worth stealing.
