Also, I don't get the African garb shite. I'm Irish and don't wear a fricking kilt around town. Seriously don't get it. Can someone explain?

Im glad that you don't. That would be cultural appropriation. Kilts are Scottish.

On a much lighter note, Hattisburg got a new white mayor when Toby barker defeated crooked Johnny Dupree.

I think that BR can still turn the tide, but something needs to be done soon. I'm happy to hear that more and more people are expressing their displeasure at how Broome and company are running the city. Also, the fiasco that is the EBR COA has gotten the attention of many residents. Although it's unlikely that Broome will be recalled, at least people are speaking out against her racist policies. The more people who recognize the dangerous direction the city is headed in, the more likely it is that something can be done. Hopefully, the residents of BR who love their city will fight to save it before it becomes a lost cause like Jackson is.

Amazing how a city can go downward in such a short amount of time.

I remember when Jackson wasn't a shithole.

Yes, I am old.

People were sick of Dupree. Not to mention Fairley going to jail really hurt him.

Such a progressive city. I can't wait until it's announced that they are hosting the Olympic Summer Games.

Not a lot of people voted, obviously. There are about 180k in Jackson, almost 600k in the metro.
