Bill Luckett calls Delta Independents, Republicans “racists”
Bill Luckett, an attorney and owner of of the Ground Zero Blues Club in Clarksdale, has opened the “Progress for Mississippi” PAC to get ready to run for Governor. In not the best way to start a campaign, he has said anyone in the Delta who is not a Democrat is a racist.
“You can’t have grown up in the Mississippi Delta with any kind of sensitivity or any kind of feelings and not come out of that aligned with the Democratic Party, unless you’re just a racist or something,” Luckett said.
He also has aligned himself with President Barack Obama. Intentionaly linking himself to National Democrats is another foolish mistake for a Mississippi Democrat looking to reach the necessary conservative Democrats it would take to win.
Luckett said he voted for President Barack Obama and supports most of Obama’s efforts to get the economy back on track.
“He is making some smart decisions, but they’re risky,” Luckett said.
Not a good way to launch your campaign.

Nice way to spin Luckett’s comments. Too bad Fox ain’t hiring; you are an astute student of their ilk!

[...] CL story has added some quotes, and Right of Mississippi was the first one to find this, where Luckett praises Obama and calls Republicans and Independents [...]

I’m sorry, Mr. Speaker. How would you defend those comments? This guy seems to think if you don’t think like he does, then you are some kind of heartless, unfeeling, uncompassionate, racist. Otherwise, you’re a Democrat. Did you read that differently? If so, post your comments.

Mississippians, BLACK AND WHITE, will be wise to kick both Luckett and Freeman to the curve. They both sound like major “whores” and will bring nothing but shame and disgust to the region. MORGAN FREEMAN already has with his whorish antics (he’s also screwing his so-called business partner Lori McCreary). It would be interesting to hear what his former wife Myrna-Colley Lee would have to say about BOTH of them pimps (Freeman and Luckett). Freeman thinks because he has money he can hook up with a white Mississippian and “preach” and insult the citizens of Mississippi. They need to run his black behind up a Confederate Flag Pole – LOL!
And for someone who was on TV in front of Mike Wallace saying the way to end “racism” is to quit talking about it–Freeman sure talks about it a lot and even made a documentary about it. Now he’s in Canada running off at the mouth about race–liar!
No–Mississippians–it’s time to put those TWO OLD WHORES to rest. And quit supporting Ground Zero and their restaurant Madidi–Ground Zero isn’t anything but a whores’ den for old, old black men and old, old, confederate white women.
