Dear Scoop Readers and Contributors, Sorry about the long absence, but I have finally gotten settled in my new home... in Savannah, GA. It has been quite an ordeal... finally selling my family home, and most of my possessions to seek "greener" pastures in my latter years.
Greenville will always be my home, but it has changed... and unfortunately not for the better. I am near retirement and will be doing consultant work in a local hospital. Savannah is breathtaking and reminds me in some ways of the quaint "old" Greenville that I knew as a child.
I leave behind many good friends, co-workers and no doubt many enemies who have disagreed with my "opinions" over the last 7 years. The important thing to remember is that they were "opinions"... things that we all have, but rarely get to share in a public forum. The "Delta Scoop" has truly been an enjoyable outlet and forum for me to host... but it is time for me to step down as blog master. I wish nothing but the best for Greenville and its residents. I hope someone will continue this forum, perhaps under a new name with "new" ideas to stimulate conversations.
I can honestly tell you that hosting a blog is not difficult with today's technology and Google. I have genuinely enjoyed hosting the "Scoop" and believe that WE have contributed to the betterment of Greenville... through our opinions, criticisms and recommendations, needed changes came about. Our voices were heard!
I have always been loyal to the complete anonymity of myself and all contributors. It is not important who said what. It is important to simply let your voice be heard! I will not take down the "Delta Scoop" for those who enjoy the comments section. Hopefully, someone will come up with a new blog, but until then, you can continue to post your comments here on the Scoop. I wish you all peace and prosperity in the future. I will never forget my home town.
I am not good at good-byes, so I leave you with this quotation from former President Carter at his farewell address to the nation:
"We live in a time of transition, an uneasy era which is likely to endure for the rest of this century. During this period we may be tempted to abandon some of the time-honored principles and commitments which have been proven during the difficult times of past generations. We must never yield to this temptation. Our American values are not luxuries, but necessities – not the salt in our bread, but the bread itself."
Forever,
Forthright

who is going to run this site?
I think Heather should take over this blog. She will have nothing else to do after she loses to Benny.
Cheeta.
So, now that you area gone....will
you reveal your true identity?
So, now that you area gone....will

oops! meant to say "are gone"..
Is it you RayRay?
I think Greenville needs a few more Fred Sheds set up around town. You can get hot tamales, catfish, many sno cones, hub caps, some bags and thangs , bbq, smoked sausage, etc. They come in various mexican colors, some even have a rock walkway with a small a/c hung out of a not so square hole.
Did i say we are looking more 3rd world here in Greenville everyday.
The nicest addition to Greenville which is the new McDonalds now has Hawaian Shaved Ice right across the road in a Fred Shed and you also go a few yards and get those fine cut ribeyes for 15 dollars.
With all of this going on would i ever think about voting for a existing council member for Mayor ?
Hell No !
No excuse for putting this crap all over a once beautiful and proud city.
Why didnt the DDT show all the people running for mayor? It only shows the Democrats.
I hate to see this site shut down.
Cant someone start up a new one so we can continue our communication.
I dont have the time to mess with one. Someone should step up to the plate!!
Right! This is our only chance to be heard. There must be someone retired who has the time. I hate to lose the Scoop. I have learned more truth from this site than in 20 years of reading the DDT. I wish Forthright the best in his retirement and for getting out of Greenville. I wish I could leave but I can not leave my grandchildren.
forthright could post the user name and pass word maybe someone will step up and take over..
I would be glad to host the site but have no idea how to set it up. If anyone knows any ideas please post it on here and I will research and try to get one going. I also have learned a lot from here since I moved to Greenville. I would like to have a positive site where people could not only post their ideas, but actually get action from them. We can turn this into more than forthright has let it become.
true,, Build it and we will come!!
That is because it is a Democratic Primary. General election is later, November I think.
Don't worry forthright soon we will all be moving from this hell hole. Those of us left will have to move if G'ville stays on the same path it is headed down now. Sometimes it takes just one family member to move to get the ball rolling. In my case I think I will show the rest of my family the way to move and they will soon follow. Even if it takes every nickel I have somehow I will get my grankids away from here so they can have ample opportunities to grow somewhere else. See you on the other side of prosperity....
when is the democrat election?
Lots of info on the candidates in todays paper. See if you can catch them throwing away the leftovers from the newsstands. It even gives the vision from candidates that have lost/stolen/don't know what happened to our city/county funds. But they know how to move this city forward. Incredible people! Vote....Just vote Greenville
GET OUT AND VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you want to save Greenville, You need to pay attention to the people running, and pick the best candidate for the job. Doesnt matter if the are white or black. Our future is what matters!!
XX
You're are right about the race issue. We need to make changes. I'm for voting out anyone currently connected or closely connected with our city or county government....Please don't vote in Gines or McGee, Watson, Gordon Or Holmes...P Lee, Gaston. I'm throwing up over those choices and even some of the candidates running against them. JUST VOTE..VOTE VOTE VOTE...VOTE THEM IN OR OUT
On tonight's newscast, Patricia Lee complains about her campaign signs missing. What about the taxpayers money missing? Hm! no complaints.
lol
not a laughing matter
I'm not laughing.
Yet.
Maybe we can vote our way out this city and county mess we're in. In a way it's already a laughing matter. Don't give up. We need some miracles.
Our president Obama wants to raise the debt limit so he can continue to go on extravagant vacations and spend our money like it s his own. Not only does he go supposedly for business but takes all his entourage. But heres a quote he said about raising the debt before he was voted to become president by stupid people who just wanted to say they voted for the first black man in history. Now heres the quote Obama said about raising the debt limit:
“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government can not pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that, "the buck stops here.' Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.”
-- Senator Barack H. Obama, March 2006
But now that he s president it s ok to raise the debt limit. HE S A LIAR and always will be....
G'ville needs to have just a panel not a mayor to run this small of a community. ELECT MAYBE 7 PEOPLE TO SIT ON A BOARD TO WORK FOR THE CITIZENS. That way when an issue is put to a vote no one is able to stack the deck in favor of anyone. If a council member gets out of line the citizens can vote them out at replace them at anytime. It is working all over the country by doing this and the council members know if they don't do the right thing they can be removed at anytime. Kinda like being fired at your job by not doing your job. Hey it keeps them in line just like being fired from your job keeps you in line.
In the meantime, let's fire what we have tomorrow when we go to the polls. Please they re-elect the ones with rap sheets.
"don't" re-elect the ones with rap sheets
Amen! I will not vote for anyone who is in office now.
I see a lot of talk about change...lets vote for Boo Hollowell tomorrow for change!
I see a big city party for greenville is tonight. Every one invited. Only thing its in the middle of the hood!!! I dont think Im going!! Thanks anyway mayor!!
Boo Who?
G'ville is having a party in the hood? Why does the mayor never think about these things? Is it just me or is she STUPID.... No white person will attend those parties she plans in the hood. She knows she doesn't need or want the whites vote or friendships. There is not enough of the whites to help her in her quest to destroy this city before she leaves. WE, THE BLACKS WILL SHOW HER A GOODTIME AT THE PARTY AND MAYBE POP A FEW CAPS IN SOMEONES ASS WHILE WE ARE AT IT. YOU KNOW WE BLACKS CAN'T PARTY TOGETHER WITHOUT SHOOTING SOMETHING OR SOMEBODY. We can't even have a family reunion or get together without somebody getting hurt.White folks don't know how to have fun, hell thats fun for us black folk!
9:12 you have more of a redneck twang then a black slang!!
YO MAMMA!
Hopefully Jefferson over in leland well only get house arrest or 1 to 2 years. I think she will now be a great candidate for public office.
Heather is a bust and so is Mala. Neither have any credentials and both look like idiots in a real conversation (I have tried to talk to both). Our Delta Community confirmed today by electing Mala over a tried and true attorney that qualifications mean nothingjust because she is a "SISTA". Mala "please youtube me and you stretching my baby" has no leadership ability. She can't even lead in Leland! I guess when all the NI$$ERS get everything just how they like it....It will be bad because all the leaders and tax payers will be long gone!!
They alreaqdy have it just the way they want it. Thats why our roads and services have been cut because all the whites who payed taxes are steady leaving. When the whites are all gone then G'ville will be gone for good. It has taken a while for some whites to wake up and now they have finally seen the light.
Maybe the white folk were waiting for the trash to leave town. City and economy has hit rock bottom. The electon changes nothing. I think the money may be able to deal with the crooks.
anyone made a new site yet??
Don't need a new site ..... This one is working just fine.
true, but I guess it will just notget updated.
How would you update this site? Just review the history of this site. Look at the comments for the last 2 years. They are racially energized. You could talk about the economy and jobs to growing watermelons. The comments are the same. How about our leadership in this city start an open blog? Could any elected person in this city open a free/open to opinion blog like this?
10:14 your right, it just dont get any better then this!
This blog is just fine. If you want to change the discussion just do it in your message like this.
What will G'ville be when all the white folks leave?
It will be just like all the other african nations. Looking for handouts and starving. Just look at kenya and somalia. It is run by apes just like we are.
I was leaving Kroger on Hwy 82 East today and a lady walk toward me and ask me if I was from greenville. Yes ma'am I am. She pointed to this round metal tag on her blouse and ask if I knew this man. Yes ma'am I do. Would you vote for him? No ma'am, never. She said thank you and got in her car. I felt bad about my abrupt answer, but not about the way I feel. As she was getting in her car, I told her that I apologize if I came off real negative, but I know who the person is (hopefully not her son). He has 8 years on the council and has not made a difference. Please ma'am vote all elected officials out of office.
Who is the person she wanted you to vote for? Do you think he is intimidated by others on the board?
This is a fine example of what the people in G'ville HAS to put up with. With leadership like this ,no wonder G'ville is in the shape its in.
Greenville – The former home of Greenville Mayor Heather McTeer was in foreclosure, according to a trustee’s notice of sale that appeared in the Tuesday edition of the DDT.
Since the legal notice, McTeer said she made a deal and stopped the foreclosure. The deed lists the owners as Mcteer and her ex-husband, Abe Hudson, for the 1976 McClain St. property. The mayor no longer lives at the house and has since moved
He is in bankruptcy as I hear!!!! The home from the outside looks horrible. Is this the 1st legal notice? Looking for a deal in this town, lowball it for $50,000. Another 75,000 to clean it up and u have a deal.
K Gines is who she wanted me to vote for. I can't vote for any elected official in the United States of America. Tell me one that has our interest in mind. Just one and back it up strong.
Whats up G'ville? Left there 20 years ago and found this site. Looks like I predicted what would happen before I left has happened there in G'ville. It went to hell in a hand basket from what I am reading.
no still a great town!!
You was wrong!!
you were dumb to leave.
If you are black and don't like to work it is a great town. If you like to get a front end alignment every few weeks it is a great town. If you like paying 500 dollars a month to send your kids to school it is still a great town. If you like that your house is worth half what it was worth 5 years ago it is still a great town. If you like paying 600 to 700 dollars for a car tag it is still a great town. If you like seeing all the whites leaving town each and every year it is still a great town.
You forgot to mention G'ville and washington county has lost over 50% of it population the last 10 years. Thats a fact according to the latest census bureau.
5:23 and 11:32 are still those people that have their head stuck up their ass and probably work for mom and dad. They can't tell G'ville is going fast, cause thats all they have ever known and seen so they are used to it. People that have left and come back see the hell hole G'ville has become.
Fights at the high school Friday, Monday, Tuesday. School has been in session less than two weeks.
Got to get your territory down fast
Obama id GOD
In the 90's we had Clinton in office. We also had Bob Hope and Johnny Cash. Now we have Obama in office and we have no Hope and no Cash...
We the People.. Have had ENOUGH!
I SAID!!!! We the People.. Have had ENOUGH! DO I GET AN AMEN!!!
We need to have a police state around GWHS. Why open a new prison in Washington County? Use those guards @ GWHS. It may look bad to do such a thing but in the long run it may reduce crime at the school by 10%. I hope our mayoral candidates will address this issue. The Gville Supt. was playing dodgeball on the issue today. Replay his "always going to be some problems we can't control". Maybe that's why the community comes together against a white school board. Let it be, let it be, let it be.
GWHS already has a police officers in it. you cant stop a bunch of out of controll hoodlums.
Another reason to get out of G'ville. In fact this whole state is going to hell.
in fact the whole U.S. is going to the dogs!!! Im moving to China!!!
The paper says, The mayor denied a permit for the carnivel at the mall because of the stabbing at GWHS,, HOW STUPID IS THAT!! WHAT A DUMASS!!
That paper also has an artical that is really down on the mayor!!! Way to go DDT,, Keep up the good work, that the way to sell some papers!!!
They are about 8 years too late to be telling the truth about the dumbass mayor.
6:53, you are so right,, they seamed like they was scared of her until now. I hope to see more truth come out.
So G'ville what are we gonna do? Keep electing people that are unquailified just because they are black or white, or vote for the person that is the right choice?
IF the carnival wasn't allowed, why are they setting up in the parking lot?
Unless there has been a change with the city (and I heard there was). the carnival has been there waiting to set up for a few days. I don't like the carnival, But I think it is very very very stupid for the city to not allow the carnival to set upbecause if the stabbing.. If the blacks are going to retaliate against eachother , it could happen any where, the carnival, walmart nelson st, clay street,, Bring the carnival ON. It helps city cash flow..
7:03 YOU are so right,, It doesnt matter the color, JUST VOTE FOR QUALIFIED PEOPLE, NOT POWER SEAKING INCOMPATENT IDIOTS
Another GWHS student taken by ambulance to hospital TODAY!!!!!
to 6:53.....the media was intimidated by the McTeer family.
Maybe now that they arent scared they will sell more papers
The Democrats do have one thing to brag about,, They do have Al Sharpton!!
Around the MS Delta they have Mayor Hudson to brag about. You have a democratic machine that makes her look like a bill(XX) trillion dollars. Is she really spending any money running against Thompson? Not that I can see?? Does she really need to spend any? No. Neither does Thompson against her...........BUT..BUT..BUT..Does Thompson get that cabinet post from Obama? Hudson gets to fill out Thompson's term??? IS THE FIX ON??
i CAN'T BELIEVE no one mentioned that alphe wells has moved to meridian. is that where ray ray is?
Recession: when your neighbor loses his job. Depression: when you lose your job. Recovery: when Obama loses his job
DRMC is a dead subject..Get over it
Hudson and soon to be congresswoman is a real subject. I can't figure out how she gets around the foreclosures..No debates.. No questions..Let's fly under the radar and we get this done...
WOW...It's a done deal!
A new city park downtown. That makes 3 city parks within a 1/2 mile square area. That is what we need to spending our tax dollars on people. Let's 6-lane main street.
We'll get 4 more barber shops.
Main Street might as well be 6 lanes. There is not parking....especially at the post office.
I've never had a problem parking @ or near the post office. I don't go around there when the checks come in.
You don't go around there first thing in the morning either.....
Why don't you have your mail delivered to your house like white folks? Better yet open up a UPS store and get a mailbox there. A good place to put a UPS store would be somewhere around the mall area.
My mail is delivered to my house and I am white. Office mail is delivered to a p o box. Yes, I do have a job and part of it is to pick up the mail every morning.

7:29 am is right about the parking in the morning. City employees with their free rides take up all of the main street parking.
Does your office have an address? Have your mail delivered there.
Parking at the post office is the least of our problems!!
2:29 you got that right. Best thing that could've happened was the levee break and run all these lazy ,low life, thugs out of G'ville. Just like Katrina did them in New Orleans.
good point 6:08.
Prior to the City Election I am encouraging all black citizen to read please read and tell everyone else to read the delta scoop both current and old subjects, then reflect on who you should put in office.
Black citizen read? reflect?

As soon as they put the MLK STATUE up ,thinking it belonged with all the great presidents that founded this great country, the Martin Luther King statue has caused an earthquake and now a hurricane. Seems like they should get the hint to move the MLK statue where it belongs, like maybe in Birmingham or Montgomery,Al. maybe?
i agree
Why not put it in Detroit, NYC, Jersey Shore? Alabama is still one of the great states of our union.
It belongs in Nigeria in Africa. Next to Buwanna JuJU as Tarzan would say.
Whats Up G'ville? Is ya'll still losing people and your white tax base? Are you white folks still paying to go to school instead of moving to bigger and better places? Ya'll need to wake up then, cause us black folk is taking over. G'ville is our town now and we owns this place.
5:09 IS GREENVILLE'S TYPICAL PEKERWOOD.
9:18 IS G'VILLES TYPICAL ASSHOLE THAT CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH.
ALL I'M SAYING IS TO SAY IT RIGHT WITHOUT TALKING LIKE A PEKERWOOD OR WIGGER
for real.,,
which one of you peter puffers is running for office to fix things?

better than weak..STUPID IDIOT
You are still in Grennville. I am not. You Dumbass.
I have just one word to describe G'ville. HELL
And one word to describe recent posts.....ignorant.
And one word to descibe 10:31.....
DUMBASS
To the person who made the first comment about the MLK memorial, Do you really believe what you are saying? Don't you think Dr. King's peaceful oratory regarding very basic democratic and humanitarian principles positively influenced change in our society? For the record, I am not black.
That might have been the message, but domination is what they are after.
MLK' s word has been lost by the blacks. Look how the blacks are today with their rap messages about police and whites. MLK' s words back then may have been great when spoken but you know what they say don't you? ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS!!!!! Now the black society needs to show they believe in what he said not just use it when they want to bitch about something. Hell they are killing themselves faster than they can reproduce. What do you think MLK would say about that? How about filling all the jails with his kind? Now what do you think ?
I disagree, They are not killing them selves faster then they can reproduce!! They are like rabbits!!
Okay G'ville, tired of being broke and can't get ahead? Now is your chance to change you and your family's life. If you really want to finally change your destiny and break the chain of just surviving and never leave the delta just like the rest of your family have done for generations ,now is your chance. Jobs and more jobs and no one to fill them. Earn triple what you earn now. There is a boom going on in North Dakota and they need people to fill thousands of jobs. Mcdonalds here is paying workers 15 to 20 dollars an hour. G'ville you bunch of losers like me once need to take advantage of this and get the hell out of there. Come on up here you will change your life!!!!
9:10,
I tend to think MLK's movement shaped American ideals in general. His message awaken deeply rooted democratic principles in most people. He is one of the most influential Americans (not blacks) in history period. It doesn't have anything to do with rap music, bling bling or crime. I completely disagree with the racist imbecile that claimed that the MLK memorial did not belong in the National Mall along with the other ones. Is he also going to say that Jefferson doesn't belong there because he had a love child with a slave?
10:23 I think you missed the point. They didn't say MLK ideals and principles weren't good. They were saying that the blacks today don't get it or don't care to listen to what MLK stood for. The blacks today haven't got a clue what he did to change their lives and are worse than their ancestors ever thought of being.
From Sunday's 07 Sept. 2008 11:48:04 EST, Televised "Meet the Press" THE THEN Senator Obama was asked about his stance on the American Flag.
General Bill Ginn' USAF (ret.) asked Obama to explain WHY he doesn't follow protocol when the National Anthem is played.
The General stated to Obama that according to the United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171...
During rendition of the national anthem, when the flag is displayed, all present (except those in uniform) are expected to stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. Or, at the very least, "Stand and Face It".
NOW GET THIS !!
'Senator'Obama replied:
"As I've said about the flag pin, I don't want to be perceived as taking sides".. "There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression.." "The anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all that sort of thing."
(ARE YOU READY FOR THIS???)
Obama continued: "The National Anthem should be 'swapped' for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song 'I'd Like To Teach the World To Sing'. If that were our anthem, then, I might salute it. In my opinion, we should consider reinventing our National Anthem as well as 'redesign' our Flag to better offer our enemies hope andlove.It's my intention, if elected, to disarm America to the level of acceptance to our Middle East Brethren. If we, as a Nation of waring people, conduct ourselves like the nations of Islam, where peace prevails - - - perhaps astate or period of mutual accord could exist between our governments ......"
When I become President, I will seek a pact of agreement to end hostilities between those who have been at war or in a state of enmity, and a freedom from disquieting oppressive thoughts. We as a Nation, have placed upon the nations ofIslam, an unfair injustice which is WHY my wife disrespects the Flag and she and I have attended several flag burning ceremonies in the past".
"Of course now, I have found myself about to become the President of the United States and I have put my hatred aside. I will use my power to bring CHANGE to this Nation, and offer the people a new path..My wife and I look forward to becoming our Country's First black Family. Indeed, CHANGE is about to overwhelm the United States of America "
WHAAAAAAAT, the Hell is that???
Yes, you read it right.
I, for one, am speechless!!!
Dale Lindsborg , Washington Post
we will all miss Beth at the Greenville Clinic.
Why is the Greenville Clinc trying to keep Beth's departure under cover? She is the best!
Who is Beth?
If you work at DRMC be thankful if you get to keep your job
Finally, we have someone's picture to put on the
food stamp!
Obama's policies have put more people on welfare than any president before him, so this placement is most appropriate. Unlike the Nobel Peace Prize, for which he did nothing, this is an "honor" he richly deserves.
I have been thinking, all of this stuff we have talked about on here over the years, Aren't we just really kicking a dead horse?
Yep! Kicking the horse over & over & over, etc. We need a new blog master. Would anyone like to volunteer?
I am thinking of taking over as blog master. I will boot all of you off, of course.
Those of you that voted for change here is a little change for you. You dumb asses.
The overall poverty rate climbed to 15.1 percent, from 14.3 percent the previous year, and the rate from 2007-2010 rose faster than for any similar period since the early 1980s when a crippling energy crisis amid government cutbacks contributed to inflation, spiraling interest rates and unemployment. For last year, the official poverty level was an annual income of $22,314 for a family of four.
Measured by total numbers, the 46 million now living in poverty are the most on record dating back to when the census began to track in 1959. The 15.1 percent tied the level of 1993 and was the highest since 1983.
Broken down by state, Mississippi had the highest share of poor people, at 22.7 percent, according to calculations by the Census Bureau. It was followed by Louisiana, the District of Columbia, Georgia, New Mexico and Arizona. On the other end of the scale, New Hampshire had the lowest share, at 6.6 percent.
The share of Americans without health coverage rose from 16.1 percent to 16.3 percent — or 49.9 million people — according to Census Bureau revisions. The increase was due mostly to continued losses of employer-provided health insurance in the weakened economy.
Don't be stupid the next election.
To Anonymous at 4:45:
Amen! Thanks for the info. Hope it helps to remove some blinders.
And Anonymous at 12:12pm, I will support you 100% in your efforts. We need a boot off button to push from our end.
dear 4:45,
63% of all statistics are made up.
8:43 You must be one of the dumb asses .... Those aren't statistics they are the truth from a census taken from people. You did fill out your census didn't you? Before you answer think about it because the wrong answer could land you in jail.
those are statistics, you double dumb ass. They are made up and you are stupid enough to believe them.
What an ignorant MF you are.
This is 7:11PM: I am not so gullible as to accept someone's word without checking it out first. As for Mississippi, please go to:
http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/28000.html
Poverty level in MS is 21.8% (pretty damn close to what he said above. I will accept a 1% variance.
2:20 must really be angry because of being such A dumbass by voting for Obama and he has helped to destroy his familys lifestyle and Americans way of living. You stupid MF are probably black and broke because of your dumb ass.Hows that change Obama promised you, working for you. Cheetah ,the monkey, could have done a better job than Obama.
Obama is aiming for Socialism. Ideally in a socialistic society everyone must work and contribute.
On paper it sounds good but with our current society the mentality of "entitlement" would literally destroy it. Too many people that don't want to work or contribute.
if you voted for Obummer in '08 to prove you are not a racist, then vote for the other person in '12 to prove you are not a dumbass.
thank you.
Great blues day tomorrow..Another "singing" the blues day for you in the upcoming local elections.!!!!! UNLESS U GONE AND STILL CRYING THE BLUES ABOUT GREENVILLE.
WHAT ELECTIONS? ARE THERE ELECTIONS COMING UP? I DIDN'T KNOW THERE WERE ELECTIONS COMING UP? WHOSE IN IT TO WIN IT? WHY HQAVEN'T I HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT ELECTIONS? WHO ARE YOU VOTING FOR ?
obama could not do worst than bush if he slept for four years.
no, he is much worse, nothing like putting our country so far in debt that my kids will not even see it paid off!!!!
dont forget the tax increase he wants!!
have you already spent your part of the $700 billion they passed out two years ago?
never got my share, oh yea, I am one of the ones paying in!! Guess I dont get anyy of it!!
Dear President Obama:
You are the thirteenth President under whom I have lived and unlike
Any of the others, you truly scare me.
You scare me because after months of exposure, I know nothing about you.
You scare me because I do not know how you paid for your expensive
Ivy League education and your upscale lifestyle and housing with no

You scare me because you did not spend the formative years of youth
Growing up in America and culturally you are not an American.
You scare me because you have never run a company or met a payroll.
You scare me because you have never had military experience, thus
Don't understand it at its core.
You scare me because you lack humility and 'class', always blaming others.
You scare me because for over half your life you have aligned
Yourself with radical extremists who hate America and you refuse to
Publicly denounce these radicals who wish to see America fail..
You scare me because you are a cheerleader for the 'blame America '
Crowd and deliver this message abroad.
You scare me because you want to change America to a European style
Country where the government sector dominates instead of the private sector.
You scare me because you want to replace our health care system
With a government controlled one.

Capitalizing on our own vast oil, coal and shale reserves.

Probably not feel safe in writing a similar letter in 8 years.
Lou Pritchett sent this to the NY Times but they never acknowledged it.
Big surprise. Since it hit the Internet, however, it has had over
500,000 hits. Keep it going. All that is necessary for evil to succeed is for
good men to do nothing.. It's happening right now.
President Obamas ratings have gotten so low that now the people of Kenya are accusing him of being born in the United States.
It's a sad day for skier Lindsey Vonn. She had to turn in her olympic gold medal because the olympic committee said that Obama deserved it more because he has gone downhill faster than anyone ever has.
Put me in charge of food stamps. I'd get rid of food stamps for Ding Dongs or Ho Ho's, just money for 50-pound bags of rice and beans, blocks of cheese and all the powdered milk you can haul away. If you want steak and frozen pizza, then get a job.
Put me in charge of Medicaid. The first thing I'd do is to test recipients for drugs, alcohol, and nicotine and document all tattoos and piercings. If you want to use drugs, alcohol, smoke or get tats and piercings, then get a job.
Put me in charge of government housing. Ever live in a military barracks? You will maintain our property in a clean and good state of repair. Your "home" will be subject to inspections anytime and possessions will be inventoried. If you want a plasma TV or Xbox 360, then get a job and your own place.
In addition, you will either present a check stub from a job each week or you will report to a "government" job. It may be cleaning the roadways of trash, painting and repairing public housing, whatever we find for you. We will sell your 22 inch rims and low profile tires and your blasting stereo and speakers and put that money toward the “common good..”
Before you write that I've violated someone's rights, realize that all of the above is voluntary. If you want our money, accept our rules.. Before you say that this would be "demeaning" and ruin their "self esteem," consider that it wasn't that long ago that taking someone else's money for doing absolutely nothing was demeaning and lowered self esteem.
If we are expected to pay for other people's mistakes we should at least attempt to make them learn from their bad choices. The current system rewards them for continuing to make bad choices.
AND While you are on Gov’t subsistence, you no longer can VOTE! Yes that is correct. For you to vote would be a conflict of interest. You will voluntarily remove yourself from voting while you are receiving a Gov’t welfare check. If you want to vote, then get a job.
is the jubilee casino closing?
6:06 - Run for President and be in charge. You got my vote. But in reality, you make to much sense to win.
The jubilee is closing the penney slots. They will now nickel and dime you
They need to close period. Give us back our levee front so we can have fourth of july celebrations like we had back in the 70's.
Geez I guess everyone in G'ville has gone stupid.Maybe they all moved finally and I'm the last person left to turn out the lights. I guess maybe G'ville people just don't care to gossip about this hellhole anymore and have given up and let the monkeys finally have this place.
This G'ville site is done it looks like. The people here in G'ville can't even keep a good site going due to being so one track minded and stupid. No wonder we can't get new industry here. We are to stupid to know how to attract anyone other than a chicken shack to fry us up something to keep us the most obese state. We can't keep anything like a blog going cause some don't like to here the truth about our one horse town. If it's so great here then why do we all go to jackson or memphis to shop or see a doctor? If thats the case it can't be that damn good here. G'ville has turned into a ATM machine for the Gov't programs run by the crooks that run in here and get rich off or the poor and elderly then flee before they get caught. Thats why it's such a turnover in doctors and such. We are so stupid some of us just can't get thats whats going on.
I guess all the blacks have run from this site cause they got their ass kicked by the smart white folks.
after awhile, negativity kills a blog. Who wants to hear the white trash???? Any room for dialogue?
There's no negativity on this blog, just the truth and their are some that can't handle the truth. G'ville has gone to hell and thats the TRUTH!!!! IF THERE IS ONLY 6500 WHITES LEFT IN WASHINGTON COUNTY THEN IT HAS TO BE THE BLACKS THAT HAVE DESTROYED G'VILLE. Dialouge on THAT!!!!
This guy NAILS it! Yes, this is what is wrong with the Delta... and it takes a black man to tell us!
http://therealrevo.com/blog/?p=57506
He not only nailed it but did it with class. Way to go ...... If all blacks would only think like him or her.....
Thousands of tax payer dollars have been spent maintaining the Brent Day Care Facility over the past 20+ years! They should own the building themselves and the parents should help with the rent and upkeep! Everyone always wants a free ride!
wikipedia regarding Greenville
Crime
It should be considered of utmost importance that anyone considering visiting Greenville realize that the town is notorious for its bad crime, often considered to be among of the worst in the country. The downtown area in particular and much of the town north of Highway 82 (this highway often seen as a sort of "dividing line" by many) is continuously ridden with theft, assault, and much more, sometimes even in daylight and in popular areas such as near the library or churches. If one must go into more dangerous parts of Greenville, it is still better to do so in the day, and to be accompanied with other people; it is less dangerous for a female to go along with males. The most that can be done to protect oneself is to use the most common sense as possible, such as always locking one's car and never leaving valuable items inside, staying away from dark and deserted areas and not taking dangerous routes when it isn't necessary, and not drawing too much attention to oneself (i.e., wearing expensive jewelry or females wearing too revealing of clothes). While police have made some attempts to monitor and patrol downtown Greenville more, many residents complain that the town's police force is still highly ineffective. Much of south Greenville - for example, along Highway 1 South near the Nelco Movie Theater and Country Club, South Main Street near the Bowmanor Subdivision and Bayou Road, and the area surrounding Cypress Road - is considered to be generally safe and inhabited by middle- to upper-class families, although some crime occasionally drifts into these areas as well.
[edit] Racism
It should also be noted that Greenville is a town of ever-present and prominent racial discord, despite moderate progress since the 1950's. Many older, more upper-class whites (a small yet powerful minority) in particular still harbor views of varying degrees of racism, although this phenomenon is significantly less common in most middle-aged or younger whites (yet still very pronounced in others). Socializing and mixing with blacks too much could possibly be discouraged by some middle-aged white parents today, though it would have been a lot more common a few decades ago. Conversely, some blacks (whose race accounts for about 70% of the town's population) hold to what is commonly referred to as "reverse racism;" for example, it is often hard for a white teenager to find a job in local fast food or retail establishments where the management and all the employees are black. A visiting black man could possibly be looked down on by a white man, and vice versa. Both races often tend to form their own areas in the town, with a few middle-class areas being more or less mixed.
That's wikipedia?..... Nothing but bullshit racist by "quoting wikipedia" It's not even quoting wiki. No dialouge so far. Just racism
Most of the crystal meth is produced south of Bowman Avenue. Ownership and management of fast food in this town is controlled by whites. I'm not talking about ur tamale & hot wing shacks either. Buyers of the above products are north of 82. But who is making the money?
Walmart, which is in south Greenville, 62% of shoplifting is from non blacks.
As a long time resident of G'ville, I know how G'ville was and how it is today. In 1969 G'ville was named QUEEN CITY of the delta and industry was booming. In 1969 there were 87 industries in G'ville. Now today there are only 5 or 6. G'ville had two malls at one time and the population was around 60,000 people in the city limits. Now G'ville is mostly black and number one in poverty nationwide. I'll tell you why it has become this way. PRIVATE SCHOOLS brought all this on.There was no way the majority of the whites could afford to send their kids to private school making just above minimum wage. Therefore soon they had to move to places so their kids to go to public schools. This caused the working tax base on this town to dwindle to nearly nothing. When a town loses half of its population and most of its tax base then the town is doomed. Now with just only 30,000 people and half of those don't own a house or property then that makes the tax base even worse. So you wonder why our roads have gone to hell along with this town, not a CITY ANYMORE,. wHEN MAYBE 15,000 ARE TAKING CARE OF 30,000 THE MATH JUST DOESN'T WORK.......
62% OF THEFT FROM WALMART IS COMMITED BY NON-BLACKS IS A LIE!!!!
I being an ASSISTANT MANAGER FOR THE LAST 5 YEARS KNOW EXACTLY WHO'S COMMITING THE THEFT. IT's blacks stealing us blind and the other blacks looking the other way when they are doing it. We catch them everyday working as teams at the checkout counter. Or it happens while unloading the trucks on the back dock. Merchandise dissapears before it even hits the floor inside the store.
I didn't know that. 62% of the employees @ Walmart are stealing. As an assistant manager you need firing. The black employees only make up 57% of total employees. Management like you makes up 78%, so who is stealing?
Private schools saved what we have left. Would I send a child to a public school in Greenville for a top of the line education? Really???? Just tell me how my child today in Greenville would get a top notch education. They couldn't 20 years ago...Nothing has changed about education. If you can't control and teach your own then leave mine alone.
11:24 Are you a dumbass that can't read. I didn't say that 62%of the employees are stealing. I said that 62% of the stealing by whites is a LIE. Most of the stealing is done by blacks being helped by some employees helping them steal by looking the other way or even in helping them steal by not checking them out at the counter by not scanning items they have in their shopping carts. I am a black man and have worked in several walmart stores all over the south and G'ville has been the worse I have ever seen when it comes to merchandise dissapearing from the store straight off the dock. 95% of the employees are black here in walmart. So you tell me that our cameras lie about what I see happening.....The cameras don't lie. You need to get the right figures for the G'ville store before you TELL MORE LIES.....
6:23 am is a worthless employee of Walmart. More than likely, an ex emplyoeee that stole or looked the other way and got fired.Your % are way off. No way you can be an employee of our store.
10:54 is a dumbass. 6:23 was saying that the % were way off and that it was all a LIE about 62% of the stealing was done by non-blacks. That is a BOLDFACE LIE.....Nearly all of the stealing is done by blacks here in the G'ville Walmart.
you are all dumbasses. I, for one, am not a dumbass.
12:05 is the biggest dumbass of them all by getting involved. Now head to Walmart and steal you something.
got me a big tv and I'm home watching it, you double dumbass.
Do not lease your car/truck unlocked, do not leave anything in the truck bed of any value, lock your tool boxes, It will be stolen!! Believe me, they will steal it in 5 minutes!!!!!!
They? the blacks or the dumbasses?
2:57 you the dumbass black will steal it .... You know the new tv's have lowjack on them just like the new laptops do so they can track them you dumbass!!!!! I hope you enjoy your new boyfriend in jail so bend over and grab your ankles you bitch...
Jesus, no wonder Forthright left this site. It has degenerated into a childish forum for petty, racist morons!
This what he encouraged prior to leaving. Go back in the archives and check it out.
7:34 and 11:37 It gets this way when people like yourselves come on here and post your opinions about it instead of contributing something else to discuss. People like you won't admit it but you love to read that kinda stuff. Thats why you keep coming back to see whats next. Now instead of bitching about other posts whynot post something like ,I saw a car parked in a handicap zone today and guess what..... It was actually a white woman that was in a wheelchair instead of a black young man that was working out at the gym earlier. Now thats news!!!! Cause all of us blacks have a handicap permit because we deserve it for being held back from the white man for so long.
This is a public announcement from the MS. HIGHWAY PATROL: A law has been passed that many are not aware of. It says that a vehicle is not to ride in the left lane except to pass another vehicle. Once it has passed the slower vehicle it must move back into the right hand lane or it will be issued a ticket for driving in left lane. You have been warned so stay out of the left lane unless you are passing!
Message from Haley Barbour. "Yes, I will soon return to my role as Junior Samples on Hee Haw".
Thank you for your support. Smoke 'em if you got 'em.
Message from Barrack Obama: I will soon return to my birthplace in Kenya, Africa to join my tribe of monkeys in the jungle. Thanks for your support. So I can smoke when I want to instead of hiding from the public.
What if I'm just passing gas and I have to tilt my ass over to the left lane. Will they believe me? Do they have a sniff test machine? Like ^ .10 if u shit in your pants?
Geeez That's so funny....NOT!!!!!
No they take you to jail and see if your new boyfriend will clean you up in the shower.
It's a shame that parents of children in the public schools do not become more active in their childs education both at home and at school. The schools cannot raise the children, that is the parents job. The schools job is to educate properly raised children.
Most of them don't know who their parents are......
Greenville got a new mayor yet?
