Would be a perfect place to build real life Wakanda then

No. Wakanda had superior technology and knowledge. No way that would ever exist in Jackson.

Actually a crapton of folks in Africa are rooting for the patriot movement in America

Apparently he isn’t radical enough for some


Adofo Minka is an attorney in Jackson and president of the International Association of Black Lawyers

Jackson, Mississippi’s Black mayor is celebrated as a “radical” in some quarters, but his cops kill, maim and abuse Black people just like police forces everywhere in the US.

---

quote:

---

The mayor’s reform efforts are meant to reconcile Black toilers with the Black led police state. This tactic of subverting ordinary people’s desire to handle their own judicial affairs in a direct democratic way is not new for Mayor Lumumba. Just as the mayor’s minions sustain “a people’s assembly” subordinate to his will, he doesn’t wish to see the self-directed initiatives in the streets found in Seattle, Minneapolis, Atlanta, and New York City come to Jackson. His way to beat ordinary people “to the punch” is by offering reforms that he and others in hierarchical government control.

---

quote:

---

The mayor has the unmitigated gall to propose a civilian complaint review process that he wants to control from behind the curtain. While across the country the discussion is on what terms to defund, dismantle, or abolish the police. The Mayor always brings a cup of water to a raging house fire after initially denying the house was ablaze.

quote:

---

He attempts to ameliorate the harm caused by the police state he directs by invoking his social identity and saying “as a black man” he understands. Mayor Lumumba is a phony who likes to pretend that his social identity means he has had the same experiences as the Black toilers in Jackson who have been maimed and killed by JPD. Ordinary people should tell the mayor to sell his “once upon a time when I was a Black man” stories to Disney.

---

quote:

---

Mayor Lumumba’s election should be recalled, and his Black led police state should be dismantled -- I did not say defunded -- immediately for killing eight Black people.

SW Jackson is not a place it is an adventure.

I live in Jackson. Compared to some of his predecessors and current city council
members, he isn’t that bad. From what I hear he’s working well with local businesses and neighborhood groups. In the past 6 months, homeless camps along I 55 had become problematic. At times there would be 6 to 8 begging on both sides. People complained and poof, they’re mostly gone.
I think Baby Choke realizes that NE Jackson and Fondren/Woodland Hills are pretty much footing the bill for the whole town and he’s trying to keep the numbers shrinking any further.

I rarely go that far North on the service roads, so I haven’t seen them. At Northside, Lakeland, Meadowbrook and Eastover (basically the Lefleur East neighborhood zone) they are pretty much gone
