  1. As a white republican. I have a message for my black brothers and sisters of Mississippi… Raise hell… Show these mother fuckers what 2A is for.

  2. This is what the 2nd amendment is for

  3. …..welp, ill never go to Mississippi, thats fucking ridiculous. In 2023? Cmon US

  4. Jackson's biggest problem? Black on Black killings – and it's not even close. But they want to blame Whitey anyway 🙄🙄

  5. It's disgusting. Any politician who backed this is not fit to represent anyone.

  6. This is why anybody whose decent, and hardworking making a pretty good income…Either has moved away from there, or needs to move…Just like there's "white flight"…There needs to be a "black flight" for a change…So to the BP whose got good sense, wake the hell up, sell your house (or even rent it out), and leave that dump…You all know, if you take away the ability to get Tanf and Snap, that Jackson MS is nothing more than a third world country in itself…True story..

  7. Oh well…If the "chocolate city" didn't have so many felonious criminals, fraudsters, shippy shappers and bumbling idiots (Yes, many of the so called leaders in the city, too) living there…Many of whom let their overgrown brats run a dam muck, instead of raising them up properly…Instead their parents are busy being geto, backward minded, messy, violent, and entitled, having control issues, tryna tell other adults what to do, like it's their business…They wouldn't be having this problem right now, if they had their s* together…Jackson, MS is a very small city, compared to any major city USA…Yet it had no problems with being the murder capital for 2 years straight (2021&2022)..

  8. Smdh… Just know we aint our ancestors..

  9. The people of Jackson ran the city into the ground and now cry racism when the state needs to step up and fix it… what a joke.

  10. Meh, you keep bringing up slavery, colonialism, and your race when really that might not even be the concern!

  11. This has happened in Kansas City Kansas, 1st black mayor was elected then the unified government change the laws to strip him of the power.

  12. ABC covering their ASS with allegedly 😂

  13. Liberia, Haiti, Zimbabwe, and Ethiopia…

  14. They're doing this because a lot of elected officials plainly suck! In many cities with ridiculously high crime rates, the same people do nothing and get re-elected somehow

    The Blacks in office care little about the Blacks in the trenches. A bunch of house ni**as

  15. They want a civil war period

  16. How has integration benefited anyone, except black people?
    We need to lose these assumptions and quickly that what’s best for blacks somehow should come first.
    No. Enough.
    We see in present day Haiti and South Africa what that looks like.
    We see our cities and the crime ridden war zones that they are now resemble Haiti and South Africa…exactly.
    We see our schools dumbed down to standards that make us a laughing stock around the world.

  17. You mean Joe Biden administration Falls to government officials isn't this martial law
