Very good, now it’s time for the investigations to began. (COLD CASE FILES SHOULD NOW BE OPENED) Many unsolved murders of black people throught the 50′s and 60′s are still unsolved.

The KKK got away with lynching’s burnings and theft. Or did they???

Many are still with us, old, but still living, and should be caught,and tried for the murders and the conspiracy of murder.

All one needs to do is look at some of the photo’s taken when these horrible acts took place. Go to any black art store and you can see these photo’s for yourself. The white boy was bold enough to show his face in murder and there is no reason why he cannot be recognized.

After all this time Hitler is still recognized in photo so why can’t they be. No one forgets a face.

In fact in many cities across the south old people, male and female that were part of the KKK are still alive, some CEO’s and should be found and tried.

If the world can still go after and “FIND” criminals(NAZI’S) responsible for killing the jews during world war two we should go after those responsible for murdering and torchuring black people throughout the south not long ago.

Do not let none of these old white bastards get away with murder, let none of them escape. Don’t feel sorry for them because they are old, they have hidden secrets and should not be allowed to take these secrets (secrets of murder)with them to the grave unsolved.

I only hope this new mayor is not an over-churched black man like most of the people of our race in America. Easy to forgive,unwilling to make them pay. I hope he wipes the tears from his face and go after the bastards who created them. I hope that he stands up for what is right and use his new position to the fullest extent of the law.

One of the reasons why these people have not been caught and brought to justice is because our black men are too busy marrying their daughters. Now we have a chance let’s use it before it’s too late!!!

Now if only Lost Angeles can elect a brotha. Not likely though. The hate there goes deeper than ANY white KKK.

Now let see cabot Ar elect a black mayor. they protest Mlk holiday and celebrate robert E Lee day there. That’s news

Over Churched? The guy who wrote this comment below is an idiot.

That’s powerful. My father was the first African American Mayor in my hometown, working on his 2nd term. Congrats Mayor Young. It won’t be easy but with Jesus on your side you will make it.

I still do not understand this historical idea that slaves “helped” build anything in this country. The pictures should say they were forced, not helped.

This is actual progress. My dad frequents that town alot. Also I been there a few times myself. It’s a redneck town fa sho. lol!!!

BLACK HAVE BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH

WOW…THAT BEAUTIFUL TO HEAR..

Black ppl have been the one and only race to suffer so badly…(besides the jews)..it may not seem like it now, but God has a great blessing in store for my ppl!

wow, that made my day.. just awesome!

I LUV MY PEOPLE OF COLOR! GOD HAS A WONDERFUL BLESSING WAITING FOR US! IT SEEMED WE’VE BEEN KICKED AROUND FOREVA AND OUR TYME IS C**MING! WE WILL BE GIVEN BACK WHATS OURS FOR THE “MEEK” SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH, AND THE RICH, THEY GIFT IS WHAT THEY’VE OBTAINED IN THIS LIFE! THEY’RE HEAVEN IS OUR HELL!

still got ways to go

good stuff…I just hope he can finish his term without any negativity involved.

MY FAMILY LIVES 15 MINUTES AWAY FROM PHILADELPHIA AND IT TRULY IS A RACIST PLACE. IM HAPPY HE WAS ELECTED AND I HOPE THAT HE WILL DO A GOOD JOB. MISSISSIPPI STAND UP!!!!!

I bet he didn’t have a black planet account either. If he did he would probably still be looking for excuses to why he could not be mayor if he believed the bull s**t articles this site usually puts up. This is the most positive article I have seen in a while, this is what black planet should be about. Congratulations Mayor !

I am a native of Mississippi and I know how certain people treat us. I am so glad that some cities are letting go of the past and trying to move on. Congratulations to you MAYOR JAMES YOUNG!!!

I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEE MY BLACK PEOPLE! WEVE WORKED SO HARD TO RISE THROUGH THE RANKS OF EVILNESS AND I PRAY TO MY LORD THAT WE WILL DO MUCH BETTER!

congratulations to the mayor. prayerfully he will be able to effective and continue to bring about positive change

FINALLY, SHOWING SOME RESPECT…ALL CONGRATS MR.YOUNG

THAT’S A GOOD FIRST STEP…GOOD JOB MAYOR J.YOUNG!!!!!

Proud moment in history that could have easily been one that was overlooked. GOOD FOR News ONE/CNN for even covering this… This shows children everywhere that even in their own communities, they can prosper against all and extreme odds… Congratulations Mayor Young!

Congrats Mayor Young. I am so proud and happy for you, but yet I am still sad. It is a shame that in today’s day and age a black man becoming mayor is a major coup. You being elected is a victory but we as blacks should not let these small victories placate us. We need to unite and keep on fighting the good fight. Equality is still not a reality for us, but each victory brings us a little closer.

Yes, we have waited a long time for this. Change is here, we just have to embrace it. One step at a time. He has taken a leap into the past and future. His leader is Jesus Christ.

CONGRATULATIONS, WE AS BLACK PEOPLE HAVE CAME A LONGGG WAY AND WE STILL HAVE A LONGGG WAY TO GO, WE SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN DID THE WAY WE WERE DONE IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Well we came a long way. And now Black folks are still killing each other. Sad

People this is great! I think that is not only great for black people, but for all persons…Yeeaahhh! What an astonishing and an enlightening event of another new black mayor. I mean I didn’t know that the town existed?! Let that black man, Mr. Sir do the job, and move on in this life. We all only have one life to live…See it is very possible for all of us persons to be friends, neighbors, and with our own cultures. So that at one moment we can really share with each other how we truly see the earth. Our home is this planet. Wow. To try is to be human, and to be human is to try! Much respect. Peace, man. Peace everybody.

In my own thoughts I believe that it was God that got us this far. And we have a true reflection of that in the life of Dr.Martin L. King and I can only wish to be a man as he was. Really I think he did what we all should be doing and thats following in the same steps as Christ even to the point of death. Im just sharing some food for the spirt and sorry i got off track,but i promise im giving out of love. I JUST WANT U TO REMEBER GOD

James Young – You make me soooo proud@!!!! CONGRATS . . . God is paving the way . . .

Congratulations James

Wonderful! Congrats to Mayor Young! I am originally from Birmingham, AL and this is a victory for the south. However, I’ve just finished scrolling through your 35 pics of blacks who have made significant contributions to this country “slavehouse to the White House” and I noticed that there are no pics of Clarence Thomas and Condolezza Rice…because they are Republicans doesn’t lessen the great things they have accomplished through hard work and education. If we don’t won’t to recognize their political affiliation, lets at least recognize that they are black and someone our children can look to as a picture of what can be achieved through hard work and education. Enough of discriminating against our own people.

America is finally becoming that one nation the founder intended although they never thought it would be so diverse.

Congratulation Mr. James Young all the best to you and your family. God Bless.

I believed strongly that what happened in the past in Philadelphia, Mississippi, is what the KKK reaping so now the town have their first black Mayor, James Young. The KKK have tried to destroyed black people there for years as I learn while watching it on Biography a few months ago. The racists just don’t get it that God don’t like ugly and that we’re all his children and if they can’t live side by side with us then they’re the one who will lose not us. Congrats to Mayor Young!

Wow,congrats to you
