I believe the United Nations should get involved and protect black Americans
Child bye
@@tulucatango3954 it’s only a matter of time before we organize ourselves again, own our own land and businesses again. The ancestors have spoken. White Washing is over
@@tulucatango3954 exactly 🤣🤣🤣
And just how would they do that when they all kill each other? Please explain your statement. Because it makes no sense
Protect us from who? Us? Cause Jackson niggas be killing each other and it’s not fair that we subject everyone else to that
We need the names of the individuals who helped to get this bill passed
Then what? Shame them? Cancel them? 😂
And then what? You have a city that is imploding with crime, so the state uses its resources to help and control the crime by legislation and merging state police with city to police to help the murders and crime in Jackson, all because of a 80% black community and their representatives that haven’t done anything to fix the problem. I’ll give you $100 if you can tell me ONE black city, community, that isn’t riddled with crime and violence. You know what’s true, stop talking bs
Sorry but the state needs to take over
Jackson is dangerous and politicians are corrupt
@@toebeans3985At least you know who your true enemies are.
People need to vote Trey Lamar out of office!
I so sorry ... but if yall cant fight this, time to starve that mf state and leave
Starve? They are the ones holding Jackson down, it used to be a nice city over 30 years ago.
Yup, I was born in Jackson in 84, lived there till mid 90s. Once the neighborhoods started getting nothing but black folks moving in. The malls shut down because of the crime and kidnappings, kids were getting beat up at school cuz they were white. I fought those bitches myself luckily I was a bigger kid. Businesses left, nothing good came out of it. I got nothing against anyone of any color. But it’s no secret when you have nothing but black folks living together it’s disaster
Foundational Black Americans aka American Freedmen are natives and they are not immigrants. They should have the right to self govern just like the federally recognized American Indians. The Freedmen Bureaus should be brought back immediately.
Black Africans are not natives.
Don't let them take over fight them by any means necessary.
There are many black residents that agree with the bill btw so don’t shame people for having an opinion
1:48 he is so crooked omg 😂😂😂😂 this guy knows all the criminals
So you know there's a crime issue an you don't feel safe, but you want to leave the power in Democrats hands? Make it make sense
Lmao hmm it going to be more criminals crimes in the Republicans hand dummy lol dude the Republicans is the ones that not even fixing the water shit that they did so yall people is the one picking people that not really paying attention or doing anything. Plus we're is the black community leaders at.
Right, what’s wrong with our people? It make absolutely no sense.
Why would you leave it in the hands of racist republicans? That's the part that makes no sense.
@@tinahudson9146 it makes no sense to think after 400 and plus years of white supremacy and racism
that they are going to do stuff that will overall benefit black society.
It's the only major party in America that isn't 89% white.
LOVE THIS
Why are black people so up in arms about Jim crow laws when we have been enduring Jim crow laws since the beginning of times!
