The Ali Shamsid-Deen Chronicles: Let the white folks leave Jackson

A Circuit Judge doesn't just handle criminal cases, he must also adjudicate those of an economic nature. JJ posted several columns penned by Hinds County Circuit Judge candidate Ali Shamsid-Deen in the Jackson Advocate. They have been rather interesting to say the least. Here are some choice quotes from a column he wrote on August 6, 1992 that delve more into the economic realm. Enjoy.

"Now about this business of the white folks leaving Jackson if it gets too Black and notice it only gets too Black when they start talking about African-Americans having power. Where would that put us as African-Americans? Will the white folks take the jobs with them if they move? Most of the better paying jobs that are in this city are city jobs, or they are all at the state office buildings dowtown, or the Hinds County administrative offices which are also downtown. There is a city ordinance, which islaw, that requires that a city employee must live in Hinds County. That also includes the police and fire departments. So if the white folks leave and the jobs stay, how will that hurt Jackson's tax base? Will the state legislature move the state capitol, which is Jackson? I don't think so. Jackson is the county seat so the county administrative offices are going to remain in Jackson.

So with the better paying jobs staying in Jackson and the majority of taxes coming from African Americans now, where will this big tax base loss come from?"

The writer is one of the stupidest people I have ever read. All of the jobs he mentions are government jobs, that produce no income, and mostly no results. He is the type who figures when the people who actually work turn on those who are parasites, the parasties will just sic their dogs on the workers. Bring it on moron.

I think he had a crystal ball on this one, although I doubt he anticipated his rhetorical questions to be answered like this.

If there were any smart white people left in Jackson, they'd leave.

White folks who choose to remain in that zoo deserve whetever they get.

On behalf of us white people left in Jackson:

"It ain't the way I wanted it! I can handle things! I'm smart! Not like everybody says... like dumb... I'm smart and I want respect!"

Does anyone else remember seeing a recent post that said that despite Jackson being a "majority minority" city, only 4% of revenue in Jackson come from African-Americans, and over 50% come from Caucasians, with the rest coming from various business taxes and fees? I don't know the source to back up that claim.

I think that it's racial and someone should do something about it what ever happened in 1992 stays in 1992 which is the past this is the future and I bet a lot of white people would like to kick his butt.

By the way, came across some old Kamikaze writing for the JA while reading old issues. Fun stuff.

Forget race 4:26 PM. Over 40% of Jackson's property tax revenue comes from its Ward 1 cash cow. Add in the originating address of who is paying the sales taxes in the city and you'd come to understand how Jacktown is a three-legged stool with a third leg that gets more bum by the year.

Meanwhile, Harvey Johnson is jumping for joy that he didn't have to right size city government.

Bend over Fondren. Doggy is a good thing.

Going to post it or pull your punches to reflect your correctness?

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).

Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.

In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Trollfest '07

Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.

If you get tired come relax at the Fox News Tent. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both will entitle you to free drinks.Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required, just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '07 is for EVERYONE!!!
