Is This Shelby Steele's Cousin?

Oliver Willis points us to this post on bossip.com about a black mayoral candidate in Jackson Mississippi who has an interesting idea for cutting down on crime. He wants to reauthorize the lynchings of other black folks.

An African-American mayoral candidate is calling for lynchings to be reestablished as part of his campaign platform in Jackson, Mississippi. George Lambus, the 62-year old Republican candidate has blanketed many White neighborhoods with flyers, which take shots at his Democratic rivals and calling for “a noose and stout tree limb” to tackle crime.

His flyer reads:

“Incompetent negro Democrats at City Hall, negroes without civic pride, negro criminals and corrupt negro police officers have just about driven this city into the ground. Any Negro Democrat running for mayor who tells you that he or she can reduce crime and bring jobs to Jackson is a damn lie. They only want to be mayor for the salary. Job creation is contingent upon the economy improving, and crime can only be alleviated by a noose and a stout tree limb. I will provide the noose, and when the economy improves, I will get the jobs here.”

Lambus defended his views to the Associated Press, stating, “Look at recent history, like in South Africa, when apartheid was abolished. Blacks went on a crime spree. Other Blacks got tired of it… and they formed vigilantes and they killed people. It brought crime down.”


This dude is straight out of an episode of "The Boondocks" and that gives me just enough of an excuse to post this tribute to the cartoon version of George Lambus.
