The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency has received initial reports of damage from 48 counties across the state and the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians. Governor Barbour declared a State of Emergency in 39 counties. and Entergy reports over 20,000 customers were without power Wednesday night. There are 11 confirmed storm related deaths and more than 40 injuries reported in the Magnolia State.






Visitors are no longer able to visit the Tunica, River Park, nor ride the Tunica Queen. 

  All across the Mississippi Wednesday night residents are picking up the pieces from that severe weather system that moved through. The driver of an 18-wheeler died near Oxford Wednesday morning after his truck hit a tree that had fallen across Highway 30. Serious damage was left by the severe weather that blew through Oxford. Buildings lost roofs and debris is scattered for miles. Emergency crews began assessing the extent of the damage Wednesday night. The body of a 66-year-old man has been located after an intense search in Marshall County. Authorities said the man went missing early Wednesday morning after driving his vehicle into flood waters. The man's car was found hours later, but he was not inside. Emergency responders located the man's body shortly after 4:00 p.m. off Highway 7, north of Holly Springs. And those same flood waters led to the Marshall County Sheriff's Department having to rescue some residents. They helped people get out of their homes and reach drier areas. Meanwhile, flood waters are raging in Tunica. neighborhoods have been overtaken by water and now the rising Mississippi River is causing casinos there to close. The area's 9 casinos are on staggered closing over the next several days as the water rises.

An AT&T tower was knocked out too, so cell phone use was hampered, leading to the injury of a deputy. As severe weather made its way through Rankin County early Wednesday morning it knocked down huge oak trees. Several casino's within Tunica Co. have hired teams to repel the raging waters of the MS. The Fitz has set up an alternate location, but power is still on and the mighty MS. has not entered the building.  Tunica cut off has been evacuated! As of 5-1-11; MS. waters are expected to crest to potentially 45 ft, flooding levels, adjacent to Memphis, TN; Desoto Co.; MS and Tunica Co., MS.  An Illinois casino worker informed a tunica casino representative; to prepare for the worse, they received several inches of rain!

The Resurgent Uncle Tom and E. Franklin Frazier's Black Bourgeise

TBR Leighton Bradford Editor-in-Chief
If you think European, Asian, Hispanic ice is colder than Black-ice, you are probably not going to like this article.  We tend to romanticize the civil rights struggle or movement. The leaders of this period run the gambit of skill and ability. Angela Davis, Dr. King, Malcolm X, Medger Evers, Kwame Toure, Huey Newton, Bobby Seale, Fred Hampton, Eldridge Cleaver, Betty Shabazz, Dr. Benjamin Hooks, Thurgood Marshall etc...  Dr. Dubois mentioned within the text of his book, "The primary concerns in Black Folk "Is the way the "veil" stands in the way of Blacks need to gain skills, employment, and property."   Bigots tend to reward individuals of African descent, who present the path of least resistance, towards empowerment and opportunity. Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote a book entitled "Uncle Tom's Cabin", I am quite certain there are readers squirming in their seats as we speak. 

Man I might even provide a list of persons so removed from their culture; it can only be described as a sickness.  With the feminizing of specifically Black males and our daughters' bodies being exploited for economic gain, it all adds up. The last statement was in reference to an accepted behavior. E. Franklin Frazier gave a poignant look into the world of a bourgeoisie black. This group is rewarded for basically not making any waves, and dancing a jig for racism.  Getting along with other cultures is not the definition of a culturally challenged individual.

The Pan Hellenic association is one of the most intriguing entities I have ever witnessed. They seem to think they corner the market in regard to leadership.  They only involve their own members jobs and opportunities, moreover, benefiting a select group of elitist and separatist's.  When I attended college, I use to watch the buffoonery and spectacle of most of these cats. Some graduate, other's find it difficult to rely on the sisterhood or brotherhood, when things get tough! Dr. King was a alpha, if I am not mistaken, but the pronounced way they separate the well-educated, from the rest of their culture, is as suspect as twitter being located in San Francisco.  Whatever happened to 'Burk" on Grey's anatomy?  If you internalize self-hate to the degree of applying the social law of diminishing returns, that's you!  It's amazing how society embraces comfortable stereotypes and forces them upon our Psyche. It is my opinion, racism and oppression, drives a number of African Americans insane. Maybe one day we will diagnose oppression and its effects within a category of illness. I dedicate this piece to the culturally challenged hata's.
