Mississippi is pretty much telling white folks we are bringing back Jim Crow.
Yep and I understand that it is Republicans who are trying to bring it back.You DO understand that it was the democrat party that was responsible for Jim Crow?

Every single one he has ever known.What democrat told you that bull?
Mississippi's Black community was incensed earlier this week after state lawmakers proposed to create a separate justice system within the city of Jackson that would overrule the majority Black city council and put a large swath of the local justice system completely in the hands of state officials, all of whom are white.
As reported by Mississippi Today, the legislation would allow the state's white chief justice of the Mississippi Supreme Court, its white attorney general, and the white state public safety commissioner to appoint new judges, new prosecutors, new public defenders and new police officers to oversee a new district in the city encompassing all of the city's majority-white neighborhoods, effectively creating a separate justice system for whites in what is statistically considered the Blackest city in America.
And it would do so without any of those officials receiving a single vote of support from any resident from Jackson, 80 percent of whom are Black.
"It reminds me of apartheid," Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba told the website Tuesday.
Newsweek has contacted Lumumba for comment, as well as all three of the bill's principal sponsors, who claimed on the floor of the Mississippi Legislature that the foremost aim of the bill was "public safety" amid concerns of crime rates in Jackson.
However, some legal observers described the effort by the Mississippi Legislature as an attempt by white conservative politicians to erode the Black vote in a way that had not been seen since the Jim Crow era.

This is an example of white supremacy at it's best.

Pretty sure it does to a racist POS.Sounds entirely logical.
When that is a fact and has moved beyond your opinion, please let US know. Factually speaking, Jim Crow is a Democrat legacy. For a party that is all about cleaning up tainted legacies, the Democrat Party ought to rename itself.Yep and I understand that it is Republicans who are trying to bring it back.

Yeah, since white cops seem to take such glee at killing superbadthugs, it makes a lot of sense.Pretty sure it does to a racist POS.
It shouldn't have to be like that, but, it's not a bad idea.Mississippi's Black community was incensed earlier this week after state lawmakers proposed to create a separate justice system within the city of Jackson that would overrule the majority Black city council and put a large swath of the local justice system completely in the hands of state officials, all of whom are white.

Well fool we can see the moves Republicans are making to bring back Jim Crow. Look at what is happening in Mississippi, look at what the Supreme Court just did, there is a bill in the US House to pull funds from any state that gives reparations to black folks, nobody else just black folks.When that is a fact and has moved beyond your opinion, please let US know. Factually speaking, Jim Crow is a Democrat legacy. For a party that is all about cleaning up tainted legacies, the Democrat Party ought to rename itself.
Damn that is the weakest excuse I have heard on the matter.Why would the people of Jackson object at all?
Having the state government of Mississippi taking over some of the law enforcement duties in the state capital would save the city's taxpayers money, no?
Is Jackson so flush with money that they can provide this service to the residents? Or is their hope to actually drive out the Honky Minority in Jackson?
Of course it isn't, if you want to see the return of Jim Crow.It shouldn't have to be like that, but, it's not a bad idea.
