Stokes-Jackson bout set.

Special Circuit Judge Richard McKenzie set June 4 as the hearing date for the lawsuit filed by Joyce Jackson against Jackson City Councilwoman Larita Cooper-Stokes. Ms. Jackson filed a lawsuit in March challenging her loss to Ms. Cooper-Stokes in the election to replace Kenneth Stokes. Ms. Jackson alleged she was referred to as a "half-white n******" at one polling place. Earlier post about lawsuit. The hearing will take place at 9:00 AM. All Hinds County Circuit Judges recused themselves from hearing the case.

At least as a 'half-white n*****', she needed no resume.

I can't believe I live here.

Not holding my breath waiting for any cover story from the JFP on this case.

I can't believe that Jackson Mississippi is the very definition of what the civil rights movement was about and more. Blacks control the council, they are the majority population, and pretty soon there won't be a white business left except Donna "please let me feel your pain because I know more than anybody" Ladd's JFP.

Total control, what more could they ask for? And how's that working out for them?

Just more of the same. "half-white n*****" Anyone really surprised?

Don't try to find a mover this week to get you out of Jackson. They are all already booked for weeks helping other people leave just as fast as they can.

A friend axed what I meant by that. Well, it ain't complicated. Thomas Sowell opined yesterday that since Zimmerman is a White Hispanic, then Obama must be a White African. Given that analysis, this woman who ran for council, being a 'half white n*****', like Obama, needed no resume to run for public office. Just throw a hat (as it were) into the ring.

to 8:57 PM...remember what Ron White said..."You can't fix stupid" and Jackson has been overrun by hoards of stupid people...

Nobody in my neighborhood is leaving, 12:22. We love it here. NE Jackson is a wonderful place to live. If other sections of the city suck, so be it. Living here is great.

Yeah, the roads in NEJax are in outstanding condition.

The roads do suck 8:08. Granted. But the conveniences far outweigh the shitty roads, IMHO. Yes, JPD, the court system, the government, yada yada yada, all suck, but we pay no attention to these, and just enjoy living in the nicest area of the state.

Where is law enforcement and where is justice when thugs can invade voting precincts and influence voters, or run them off? My opinion is that there should be another vote for that position on the Council, monitored by appropriate officials. Wasn't it bad enough to have to put up with Kenneth Stokes? And now his wife was elected to replace him due to criminal activity in the polls?

We lived in a beautiful area of Northeast Jackson for many years, and we loved Jackson, until there were break-ins, muggings, car thefts and murders. The destructive element leaves no sought after area unblemished nor safe.

Freely admitting that everything related to the city government sucks, yet tripping through life merrily overlooking all those minor annoyances, is supposed to be a positive for Jackson?
Either I didn't get your sarcasm, or you must have come from a real shithole.

I think 8:45 has secured the services of a good dealer in hallucinogenic mushrooms. Nobody leaving? Northeast Jackson has more 'For Sale' signs than you see signs for politicians in the advance of an election. Nobody is leaving because they can't sell into the double whammy of a shit market in a shit, and getting shittier, city.

So is Chokwe and AKI Loomba. Genetically they are white-african. Kinda like white-hispanic on census.

How did we go from voter intimidation to treeless suburbs?

Focus, people.

I've been to the suburbs.
I saw trees.

3:47. Not in the cookie cutter (yawn) boring ass, all the same looking "new" developments (new = 25 years or younger).

I was just over in NE Jackson visiting an old friend who lives off Old Canton Road last week. This was my first time to be in the area in about a year. It made me both sad and glad. Sad how the area has gone down and very glad we decided to leave the area while the leaving was good about fifteen years ago. The roads are awful, and there were houses for sale on every street and I even saw vacate, boarded up homes, too.

If you think that area is the nicest in the state as 8:45 said, do yourself a favor and get out more.

6:27 summed it up perfectly.

As a native Jacksonian, it's bittersweet to travel into my home city.

What was once a great place to live, is now beyond repair. To the few that are left, please take a loss on
your home and get out immediately.

Anonymous said...

9:28 and 6:27 you are (again) talking to yourself. NE Jackson, according to Nix Tann and Charlotte Smith Realtors, is still hot as a firecracker.

If you ewant to see for sale signs, go to Madison county.

I am sorry you hate black people so much, that your world has become demented.

Anonymous said...

8:55 Oh, please. We all know if NE Jackson is as "hot as a firecracker" as you describe it's because there are houses on every street for sale, because their owners don't feel safe and are practically giving them away to leave the area. Want a buy a house for rock-bottom prices or a foreclosed, vacant, boarded up house for less than $30,000? NE Jackson is loaded with them. Just ride up Ridgewood Road or Old Canton Road and start looking.

Finally, most people don't have problems living around or working with any race if they live right, behave themselves, and don't steal their belongings, break into their cars, or try to hijack, kill, or rape their family members.

It's all about tools, and not the tools represented above.

If you drive into Madison/Madison County and roll your windows down, you hear hammers driving nails.

If you drive into Jackson and roll your windows down you hear burglary tools.

Let's see the actual sales records (how long on market, price, etc) rather than listen to what a realtor claims for an area.
What I hate is that you are such a jingo-spouting moron that everything in your little life centers around a supposed hatred of "black people". Give it a break.

Anonymous said...

Have you ever heard a real estate agent say "This is a bad time to buy a house?" If so, please document it.

FYI - there are many black people in Madison, even in the most expensive neighborhoods. Great neighbors, all of whom fled Jackson for the same reason the rest of us did. The "racist! racist!" bogeyman tag was worn out - I know it's been effective to silence opposition for a long time but you'll have to come up with something else for ad hominem attacks in the future.

aren't the crooks in madison county politics just a different color?

i've looked at houses in jackson and in madison county. homes aren't selling well either place. a bunch of overpriced houses in reunion that are gathering dust. bridgewater has a lot for sale too.

everybody has to justify their investment, and in this area, it seems the justification is made by criticizing what's over in the other county.

i dont mind larita cooper stokes. she never shows up anyway.

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.
