You mean Edwin Taliaferro? That was the name his parents gave him back in Detroit City.

He ran knowing full well he was terminally ill and may die within the coming months. They(his "team", for lack of a better term) kept this closely guarded and under wraps. At what point does something like this become disingenuous and negligent. Seems now it was more about proving a point with his agenda. As vain as it sounds, lets hope this is a get out of jail free card for the city of Jackson. In other news, when can we change the name of the airport?

For the record, a new special election will cost the city of Jackson roughly $200,000...

Louis Farrakhan And The Nation Of Islam Want Blacks To Separate From White Society
By Brian Anderson on February 24, 2014


"""At the end of a 4-day Nation of Islam conference in Detroit, leader Louis Farrakhan laid out his plan for blacks to separate from a predominately white society that he feels is unjust. He called for blacks to set up their own justice system, told them all to move to Detroit, and threatened the government if they try to stop him."""
...........

"""Even sadder is that this four-day long hate-whitey-fest didn’t get the same condemnation that a KKK rally or a gathering of the neo-Nazis would surely receive. In fact, prominent democrat politicians were by Farrakhan’s side, cheering his every race-baiting move. U.S. Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) and Detroit City Council President Brenda Jones flanked the Nation of Islam leader as he delivered his message of black power and black separation."""

A Bit If Information...

Jackson, MS has the highest percentage of African-American residents for any city with a population over 150,000 of any city in the US of A that is not named Detroit.

Lumumba was actually not performing bad at all considering the limitations of the city. At least his 1% sales tax increase was something that the people supported and something that affects everyone that buys products in the city...as opposed to taxing the few remaining wealthy people in the city.
