    Jackson Bars & Nightclubs vs. the City of Jackson & Jackson Police Department

    **Clay Edwards Show – Episode 1219**   **Focus: Jackson Nightclubs vs. the City of Jackson and Jackson Police Department** During the show, Clay Edwards discussed the growing tension between bar and nightclub owners in Jackson and city leadership, particularly the Jackson Police Department and the new police chief. He framed it as businesses being forced to solve problems that he believes should be handled through normal city services. ### The Situation Clay Described Clay spoke with a bar owner in North Jackson whose establishment is located in a strip mall with multiple bars. Recent shootings in the shared parking lot have hurt business, including one incident where a young woman who had recently graduated high school was killed during a post-graduation party. Clay noted that in most cases, the violence occurs **outside** the bars after people leave the premises — not inside the venues themselves. He pointed out that several of the bars in the area (including well-run spots like the Hideaway, Fourth and Goal, and Capital Grille) already maintain security inside their establishments. The problems arise in the common parking areas of the strip mall. ### The City’s Position According to Clay, the new Jackson Police Chief has pushed for bars and nightclubs to hire additional private security or off-duty police officers at the businesses’ own expense. The idea is to reduce the department’s involvement in handling issues at these locations. Clay also mentioned that open-container rules previously signed by Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba have contributed to the problem, as some patrons now feel entitled to drink in parking lots. ### Clay’s Argument Against the City’s Approach Clay strongly disagreed with shifting the full burden onto business owners. His main points were: - Businesses already pay property taxes and sales taxes to the city and are therefore entitled to basic police services, just like homeowners. - Making bars pay for extra off-duty officers (reportedly around $475 per night, with multiple officers often needed for larger lots) places an unfair financial strain on small business owners. - The violence is happening in public or semi-public spaces (parking lots), and the city should provide proactive policing in known problem areas rather than forcing businesses to cover the cost. - A police precinct is located nearby, so regular drive-through presence should be feasible without requiring businesses to pay extra. - Jackson often treats businesses — especially entertainment venues — as adversaries rather than partners. Clay said, in effect, that when you operate a business in Jackson, you are “in business against Jackson.” He contrasted this with the Belhaven and Fondren areas, where Capitol Police maintain a visible presence. Clay argued that this proactive approach has helped those districts remain safer and more successful, and he questioned why similar support isn’t extended to other parts of the city. ### Clay’s View on Responsibility Clay acknowledged that bars should handle security **inside** their venues. However, he maintained that once people leave and enter the parking lot or public areas, it becomes a broader public safety issue that the city and police department should address. He said businesses cannot reasonably be expected to control behavior after patrons get into their cars and leave the property. He also noted that well-run bars are already spending significant money on internal security and that additional mandates could push some establishments out of business or force them to relocate. ### Overall Takeaway from the Discussion Clay presented the conflict as part of a larger pattern in Jackson where the city expects private businesses to compensate for weak enforcement and public safety shortcomings. He argued that the focus should be on stronger proactive policing in high-risk areas rather than requiring bar owners to pay for what he sees as basic city services.

    Why Clay Believes Schools Should Stop Teaching Civil Rights and Slavery History

    **Clay Edwards Show – Episode 1219**   **Focus: Why Clay Believes Schools Should Stop Teaching Civil Rights and Slavery History** During the show, Clay Edwards made a direct case for removing the teaching of the civil rights era and slavery from K-12 schools. He argued that the current approach has become counterproductive and harmful. ### Clay’s Core Argument Clay stated that it is time to stop teaching about the civil rights era in schools. He clarified that he is not calling for the complete removal of the information from society. Instead, he believes students who want to learn about slavery, the civil rights movement, or related history should be free to study it on their own through books and independent research. His objection centers on how the subject is currently taught as part of the standard curriculum. ### Reasons Clay Gave for His Position **1. Creates a Built-in Excuse for Failure**   Clay argued that constant focus on America’s racist past conditions young people — particularly Black students — to view themselves as perpetual victims. He said this gives them a ready-made explanation for any misfortune or lack of success in life, rather than encouraging personal accountability. **2. Teaches Young People to Blame White People**   He claimed the way the material is presented trains young Black children to see the “white man” as the permanent boogeyman responsible for their problems. Clay pointed to what he described as widespread online content showing young Black individuals attacking White people while expressing racial outrage, and he linked this behavior to the messaging they receive in school. **3. Schools Should Prepare Students for the Real World**   Clay emphasized that the purpose of school is to prepare children for adult life and the workforce. He said the current approach instead fills students with emotion, anger, and grievance. He noted that many young people are now medicated to manage anger and emotional issues, which he connected to how history is being taught. **4. Turned Into Propaganda**   He accused angry left-wing teachers and activists of transforming factual history into propaganda. Clay said the curriculum often ignores or downplays the role of Democrats in historical racism while focusing blame on White people and Republicans in general. He argued this creates division rather than understanding. **5. Fuels Ongoing Grievance Culture**   Clay tied the teaching of civil rights history to modern activism, including organized protests and “Days of Action” against voting map rulings. He suggested that keeping the focus on historical oppression in schools helps sustain a culture of grievance and victimhood instead of moving forward. ### Clay’s Suggested Alternative Clay proposed that the material should remain available for those who genuinely want to study it, but it should no longer be a required part of the standard school curriculum. He believes removing it from daily classroom instruction would reduce the conditioning of young people to see themselves as victims and help shift focus toward personal responsibility and preparation for real life. Clay acknowledged he did not live through the civil rights era himself but said he grew up in a diverse area of South Jackson and did not experience the level of racism that is now routinely emphasized in education and media.

    Black Vs White Murder Rates by Age, Race & Sex (This Will Blow Your Mind)

    **Clay Edwards Show – Episode 1219**   **Focus: Murder Rates by Age and Race** During the show, Clay Edwards presented FBI-derived statistics from 2021 that highlighted significant disparities in murder offending rates across racial and age groups. He described the numbers as deeply concerning and attributed the patterns primarily to cultural factors rather than external systemic causes. ### Overall Rates (Ages 15–64) Clay shared the following murder rates per 100,000 people: - **White males**: 5.2   - **Hispanic males**: 17.4   - **Black males**: 95.5   He noted that Black females in this broad age range (8.7 per 100,000) committed murders at a higher rate than White males (5.2). For comparison:   - Hispanic females: 3.6   - White females: 1.1   ### Young Children (Ages 5–14) The data showed:   - White males: 0.2 per 100,000   - Hispanic males: 0.8 per 100,000   - **Black males: 4.9 per 100,000** Clay emphasized that Black males in the 5–14 age group commit murders at a rate roughly comparable to White males ages 15–64. He pointed out that no comparable data appeared for females in this youngest age bracket across the groups. ### Peak Offending Years (Ages 15–24) Rates increased sharply in this group:   - White males: 8.3 per 100,000   - Hispanic males: 28.1 per 100,000   - **Black males: 207.4 per 100,000** Clay described these figures for young Black males as “frightening.” He also noted elevated rates for Black females in the 15–24 and 25–34 age ranges compared to White males in the same brackets. ### Clay’s Analysis Clay stated that a Black child between the ages of 5 and 14 is more likely to commit murder than a White male between the ages of 35 and 64. He argued that the data reflects deep cultural problems, including what he called “culture rot,” fatherlessness, and children being raised without strong moral or religious foundations. He questioned how these patterns will play out in 30 years if current trends continue, suggesting that society will eventually refuse to continue absorbing the consequences. Clay stressed that he was simply recognizing patterns in the available data and that honest discussion of these realities is necessary. ### Andrew Gasser’s Response Andrew agreed that the statistics point to serious cultural issues that must be confronted directly within the affected communities. He noted that the problems have been building for decades and require internal accountability rather than continued external blame. Both hosts acknowledged that 2021 saw a national spike in homicides following the COVID lockdowns, but they maintained that the racial and age disparities in the data remain stark and demand straightforward examination.
