As a black woman who's lived here all my life I will say this fairly accurate. I do actually have an education and never had any kids. I have a degree in sociology and have worked in social services for over 10 years now. I started out in early education so I have a good grasp on the social problems that plague our state. It's sad because there's so much potential here. It really could be an awesome place to live.

Born and raised in northern Mississippi. Moved to Utah 2 years ago. Almost everything you said was accurate.

If the state turns around the economy and improves the education system, I wouldn't rule out going back because the people are really nice and it is, ultimately, HOME.

"We're not really bad, we just need a plan. We're Mississippi." I felt that in my soul.

I think it should also be mentioned that Gulfport and Biloxi saw extreme destruction from Hurricane Katrina's storm surge (worse than the kind of flooding in New Orleans) in 2005, which can be attributed to the decline, blight, poverty, and crime in those areas. The Gulf Coast overall never really recovered from that disaster.

I grew up in Gulfport and lived through Camille. We really didn't recover much after. I think the reason for casinos was to generate much needed revenue I visit now and then but to be honest it's nothing like I used to know it to be. The crime is what makes me sad. It used to not be that way.

Mississippi is where I was born and raised. In money ms. And on around the tippo bayou. I loved it and still do.

Another enjoyable drive with Nick.♥️👍

I have a love hate relationship with Mississippi. I loved the folks I worked with when I was at the Stennis Space Center. I loved driving through the country and stopping in the small towns. Cassidy's accent brought back memories. Cities like Bay St. Louis and Ocean Springs are beautiful. A lot of American culture, especially music, comes from Mississippi. However, there were some backward things that drove me nuts. I was not a fan of the politics. There was not a lot of opportunity for young folks. Most public schools are poor. There is a reason a lot of their best and brightest don't stick around after they graduate college. Agree with , it would have been nice to have interviewed folks of color as they make up more than a third of the population.

"backwards" why? because you don't like the politics, you deem mississippians as backwards? tell the peons, oh great one, who made you the gatekeeper of what is backwards and what is forwards? and in many places of the state, the population of black mississippians far far exceeds "more than a third." why more black mississippians weren't interviewed ought to be a testament to the character of this fellow making this trash. you can't have mississippi without black people. there's a bit of right in this, "unboxing," but most of it is pompous, stereotypical bullshit. i'll grade this "unboxing" as a d minus, at best, on its accuracy and factuality.

It works like this. Whatever color you are, how well you do is directly related to how much time you spend obsessing about your skin color. If you don't care about it no one else will either. On the other hand, if it's a big deal to you people will pick up on that instantly and it will tend to make them feel uncomfortable. What I just said might offend some but it is 100% true.

@Tuy Randolph Dude, what is your problem? I don't know what your religion is, but if you are Christian then I would just like to give you a friendly reminder that the Bible tells us to "love thy neighbor." Do you think that casting hate to an entire group of people is being very neighborly? I don't think so. Maybe you should do some reevaluating and start being a more loving and accepting person.

Very rich history in Mississippi and great people. My family roots came from South MS Central MS North MS and Delta. Born in Memphis been living in Mississippi for 10 yrs. I used to live in Batesville now I live in Marks. I love the Country life in the Delta.

Let’s hear it for Poplarville!! Who hoo! Loved it in Poplarville for 9 yea and can’t wait to get back. Great Jr College in Poplarville. Love my PRCC.

I'm English and really like these videos. I love how each state is like a mini country, with its own thing going on. If you don't like where you are you can just up and move to another. Here in England we are basically stuck within the one system, with _everything_ focussed on London. ps. I passed through MS many moons ago... really struggled understanding the accent lol

A funny tip, us southerners can easily mimic yall's accents better than folks from say New England or anywhere else in our nation. In an acting class I had taken, I learned this. Whenever I took on a role of someone from say England, I'd just reach deeper into my southern accent and then added words and euphemisms unique to your corner of the world - and my English accent was strong and almost natural. Same with Ireland, Scotland and Australia. But I have a hard time mimicking the different southern accents though so I understand. We don't talk all that good cuz our education ain't that good. Honest truth.

My entire family still live in Mississippi and they love it, but the state is corrupt, it’s falling apart and I don’t see it getting better. The schools are terrible, infrastructure is so broken it’s embarrassing! I wish the people of Mississippi would rise up and fight for a better government. Just check out how bad the schools are in Mississippi and compare the State’s superintendent of Schools salary. It’s a disgrace!
