Yes I am a Foundational Black American I trace my lineage to the killing fields of: South Carolina, Virginia,Maryland, Georgia and Florida! Yes I am an advocate for Reparations for Black Americans! Thanks
Yes I can't post it on here tho unless I upgrade my account. I posted it this thread earlier however
You can access my website from my campaign fb page Jesse Lashawn Parris for Denver Mayor
I have Crip affiliation and the person who did my website does too. That's just who I grew up around and with.
Honestly think it would be a great idea to leave the crip affiliations out of your politics because it gives us a bad name, but hey, that's just a suggestion. Each their own.
It was the Community Revolution in Progress that put me up to run for Mayor, I'm not leaving that out, someone asked a question about my website and I gave them the answer, it's not my fault if they don't like the answer I gave, our people always complain they don't get transparency from politicians seeking their votes or get the truth no chaser or get anything done specifically for us but then a politician or soon to be politician comes along who has a B1 AGENDA and they wanna nitpick and question why they spell a certain way, what is understood doesn't need to be asked. However I opened up this thread for my constitutes to ask any questions so it was to be expected.Honestly think it would be a great idea to leave the crip affiliations out of your politics because it gives us a bad name, but hey, that's just a suggestion.

I respect you for running but having Crip references on your candidacy website is an easy way to lose. All your opponent needs to do is talk about your association, how you willingly claim it, and you’ve lost all credibility in the area in which you’re running. If you have a record and Crip references on your site it’s over and done because they’ll say you haven’t reformed.
Okay thanks for the advice and yes I have looked at his website already I supported him the first time he ran for office. With that being said I am willing to take that chance,this isn't my first run for political office I have already gotten almost 15K votes already, if our people are that superficial they only see how things are spelled on my website and not see want I plan to do for them, that's their problem not mines. It shouldn't matter my affiliation what should matter is I have a B1 AGENDA and I support FBA Reparations!
No no, you misunderstand me my brotha, I personally do not care about your Crip affilation, but I care about you winning though, and outwardly toting Crip affiliations doesn't seem like a good strategy to sell yourself to the masses. Sure transparency is extremely awesome, but some things are just simply better off not said, so you can atleast have a good chance at winning. I'm cheering you on and I want the best for you, and this is why I'm suggesting that, but you obviously could disregard what I said if you want, no worries
Okay thanks for the clarification. I already have name recognition in my city so I don't really need to sell myself to the masses that's usually for people who are running for the first time or new to an area they are running in. I only brought up my affiliation cause I was asked why I spell a certain way. I don't want people to vote for because I'm Black I want them to vote for me because I am going to put Black people first in my city our needs will be priority under my administration. I don't want our people to dumb themselves down, I actually want them to read my website and what I have planned for them in my City. I'm sorry to hear your Mayor embezzled money from the people, that is a bad look for anyone Black coming after him running for political office. Are you from Detroit?No no, you misunderstand me my brotha, I personally do not care about your Crip affilation, but I care about you winning though, and outwardly toting Crip affiliations doesn't seem like a good strategy to sell yourself to the masses. Sure transparency is extremely awesome, but some things are just simply better off not said, so you can atleast have a good chance at winning. I'm cheering you on and I want the best for you, and this is why I'm suggesting that, but you obviously could disregard what I said if you want, no worries
Also I like to believe we as a people shouldn't lower our standards just because someones Black. That's usually how we get fucked over. That's how my city got fucked over, a Black man got into office and stole alot of money from my city because we voted for him solely because he was Black; we need to also looked into their character and policies too, but I'm liking your policies so far though, so that's going pretty good.
If a Blood wanted reparations too and was qualified for the position would you hire him or her in your administration?
At this point your either Black first or your not, again why are you asking me such ridiculous questions. It's either you are for Black people first or you are not.
Not trying to be funny, but could you say that some of your affiliations and supporters would have the same mindset? If not, would you be able to convince them to have a B1 mindset?
Sounds like a personal problem. I have no trouble reading it, this is just getting real petty at this point.
Bro, it's not a ridiculous question. Black gangs (or members) harming each other or the community is not a B1 mindset by a long shot.
Ok. Not being petty just trying to help.
It is petty and ridiculous if you were trying to help you wouldn't still be harping on my affiliation and would be focused on my policies and what I am actually going to do in office.Bro, it's not a ridiculous question. Black gangs (or members) harming each other or the community is not a B1 mindset by a long shot.
Ok. Not being petty just trying to help.
White supremacists gangs like police the biggest gang harm us as well and I don't see you saying anything about that, your just nitpicking at this point.
I asked you a question, not the police. You are bothered by a question. A question you partially answered.
*you're (NOW I'm nitpicking.)
Hey Jesse Parris I think you're heavily misunderstanding peoples comments here as being passive aggressive, the people here aren't out to get you brother, you're putting yourself out in the public, you created a thread on this website for open discussion about YOU, so it's very normal for people to discuss things about you, critique you, ask hard questions , etc... I think you could learn a thing or two listening to the people who would be backing you instead of ignoring them and berating them for giving you suggestions.
Okay well it seems people on this thread aren't concerned about my campaign or my policies all they care about is my affiliation. If telling the truth creates enemies oh well, it wouldn't be the first time and it won't be the last. Do any of you leaving these comments live in Denver CO? If not then I will take what you are saying with a grain of salt. Now can someone ask me some serious questions about my campaign and policies?
If you can't read my website then you should have your eyes checked. Next.
Negro, I told you I can't read your damn site... how is that petty? wtf...??
You don't want petty from me either. So, chill out.
I asked you a question, not the police. You are bothered by a question. A question you partially answered.
*you're (NOW I'm nitpicking.)
You haven't asked anything about my policies or campaign. You literally just keep asking superficial and down right ignorant questions, how is any of this productive or constructive?
I haven’t asked you anything. I simply gave you a platform to speak to the Black community.
You didn't ask that question initially and I honestly don't care who you know in Denver, CO you don't live in Denver so your opinion is just that an opinion you can't vote for me anyway, so you just wasting both of our times with these ridiculous comments. I asked initially for people who live in Denver CO to ask questions not people from outside of Denver clearly you missed that but your eyesight is so great you claim but clearly you couldn't see that. I know what I signed up for I expected all of that and then some, next...
1. Aggressive
2. Can't take criticisms.
3. Can't answer questions.
4. No reading comprehension.
5. Rude.
You don't know who we know in Denver, Colorado.
You don't know who is reading your comments on this site.
You don't know how much money anyone here has.
You literally missed an opportunity to show us how you can use whatever influence you have with your affiliations/supporters to get Black gangs to be more proactive in protecting our communities from outside aggressors.
Also, I have very good eyesight, thank you.
Since you want me to be petty... you should work on your spelling. (Now you can ignore everything else I said to focus on this last sentence.)
Wasn't talking to you Jay I was directing my comments to other people on this thread, sorry for any confusion!
Okay thanks for: you're perspective, advice and criticism. You're in Atlanta, GA focus on the politics there. I asked for input from people who actually live in Denver, CO not from other cities or states your opinions are noted tho. But telling people not to support me or look for this "dude" is not a good look on a Black platform, I expect that from non-Blacks not my own people. The comments on this thread are insulting my intelligence. To answer your question I plan to have a sit down with the gang leaders out here to address the violence in our community that's how I will use my influence to address so-called Black on Black crime. I expected to run into like minded Black people on this site not raccoons and house negroes focused on superficial, non productive and non-constructive things. I might as well be talking to white people in Black face at this point.Okay, everyone. Don't tell your Colorado family about this dude. He doesn't care who we know in Denver, CO.
I was actually intrigued seeing someone with your affiliations running for office. BUT you couldn't answer my initial question without getting your fingers in a twist:
Some other members on this platform told me they had a hard time reading your site as well. There are a number of designers and artists here (myself included) who know how to make things more appealing and easier to read. Instead of looking into what I said, you threw insults and said "I have no trouble reading it." Since you can read it , why are you here asking Denver residents what they want from their next mayor??? You clearly know what is best for everyone. So, just do what is best and win.
We need people with a B1 mindset in ALL aspects of life. This includes whatever affiliations we may have. Use your influence to do that instead of trying to insult a woman on an online forum.
Thanks for finally answering my question 3 hours later. This whole exchange could have been avoided if you would have said that instead of hurling insults.
You literally said:
I can't tell if there are any like minded people here ,all I see for most part are White sounding and acting Black people,negropeans, who are off code and just down right ignorant. And I have every right to not respond to your ridiculous questions especially since you don't live on Denver. Sounds like a Karen I am going to warn them about you...okay you will just be wasting your time because they already know about me. And lastly you don't know me or what I have been through nor do know what it takes to run for political office. So keep you opinions to yourself. Until you run for office you have no room to talk.Thanks for finally answering my question 3 hours later. This whole exchange could have been avoided if you would have said that instead of hurling insults.

I have every right to warn people about you off this statement alone. I doubt there are many residents from Denver, CO on this site. So, users here would have to push your presence through word of mouth either on other platforms and/or to family/friends residing in Denver, CO. We aren't going to totally ignore your post either because we care about B1 politicians.
You can't complain about any insults you receive after telling me I need to get my eyes checked. Like, Bro... you literally told me I needed glasses after I left my opinion about one of your site design choices.
And it looks like you're still hurling insults. Now you are implying that I am a
*checks notes*
House negro "raccoon" in need of glasses who indulges in fluff conversations and gripes.
But do go on.
FYI: We are like minded here (for the most part) but we keep each other in check too. No one should be exempt from that.
The last I'm saying on this issue unless folks talk about something new here. Iron sharpens iron. Let's go put in the work.
