I wasn't disputing his, nor any other American citizen, the right to change his name. Just offering the readers a *bon mot*. In fact, I'll be willing to stipulate that we disagree on practically every conceivable issue, but his past actions are disconcerting at best and un-American at minimum.
I thought that I would offer your readers the actual document describing Mr. Lumumba's suspension/detainment and the reasoning therein. While Lumumba may have rebranded himself somewhat over the very recent past, a brief Google search of him uncovered this as well as several websites my institutional web-filter wouldn't allow me to visit because it was "Racist." What was visible: For the majority of his life, Mr. Taliaferro renounced his "slave" name and became an ardent proponent for carving out a section of the United States to serve as an independent black nation. Yeah, fat chance of that happening. Serves him right having the FBI label him and his group "seditious" and raiding their meetings. Please vote for Mr. Lumumba...please.
Never have I said that Jackson Jambalaya is journalism. It is, however, an outlet through which information is disseminated, therefore qualifying as a media outlet. He may not have gone to journalism school, doesn't matter to me. He provides information that people are free to evaluate and decide for themselves whether or not it is relevant. Since I am unfamiliar with your hatred of him and his, I cannot comment on the rest of your characterization.
2/5 for Lumumba is how I read it. So, the "baggage" that Bluntson had or Lee has was a concern but not Lumumba's "baggage." *Right*
No, this is clearly a lesser-evil endorsement, back-handed compliment even. Congratulations, Mayor Johnson. You're so slow and so un-exciting that you are "safe." You've got our 3/5-throated support.
Gave you money, bought advertising, whatever. Splitting hairs calling one an "actual" media outlet. At least call JJ a virtual media outlet. Smile, geez.
Speaking only for myself, you would be wrong to *feel* that I would "be wigging out" if some entity paid for advertising espousing blatant anti-white or blatant anti-black/man/woman/gay/straight/pet/fish (you get the point) sentiments. Hell, I wish candidates would truly speak their mind about certain issues. Rather the enemy that I can see than the one who hides behind their open palms.
Since Jackson Jambalaya is purely an internet enterprise (unlike the brick and mortar entities listed) it would be inappropriate to identify his birth name or nom de plume in this manner. Perhaps the URL would suffice.
And since his campaign gave the JFP $1900, does Mr. Lee hate JFP more than Jackson Jambalaya or vice versa? Or is he paying you more to hate him? Mr. Head's comment was confusing. Hate pays how?
**Do you know whom you would appoint police chief?**
Yes, I do.
**Who is it?**
I can't say. ... I'll be honest with you: I promised this person, and you know him so well. I can tell you this much. This person at one time did serve on the Jackson Police Department ... a long time ago.

Just providing a little information for your readers and editorial board members who were unaware of Mr. Lumumba's past.

No, but you were one uninformed boardmember short of doing just that.
