It's crazy how people try to deal with trauma from their past AND when they try cope the way they cope ends up inflicting more trauma.
Sooo true
God bless the people that are struggling this way.
Amen,💝💝💝
Amen 😩
AMEN
@ 12:24 Excellent quote. Sometimes we have to go through bad things to get where we need to be. We will then appreciate getting to that "happy" place or "safe" even more.
mmafan3 so true,blessing to you.
Amen
Praying for you all.
I lived in Jackson, ms from 2005-2007 and everything there was great. I went back in 2018 when my grandmother died I couldn't believe my eyes. Everything was either closed or abandoned. It hurt my heart and I'm from new Orleans where things are not just great either but damn... Jackson has completely fell off in dat short amount of time dat I lived there and now in this present day. Everybody I knew there has moved elsewhere. Yeah I'm only 32 but I just didnt expect things to be so bad. It's crazy and I pray for the ppl. I use to love Jack-town!
I'm from Mississippi born and raised my family there it's still home and I tell you it has always been a different part of so call America ask anyone from their
I'm from the southern appalalcians in N.C. and I can guarantee its just as bad if not worse!
@Robert WEATHERSBY Damn sure is!
@@douglaspaterson5269 eastern KY is the absolute poorest region in the country. At least Mississippi is flat, im staying here now. In Appalachia they still live in tin shacks on the mountains and a house in Mississippi with no insulation is gonna feel scorching compared to a tin shack on a holler in ky with the wind whipping and it's 0 degrees in the winter. We lived in the country in northern ky and when it snowed you were stuck. Mississippi might be more poor overall as a state, but hands down Appalachia is the poorest region, a good percent of the people out there can't read. I lived somewhere worse than either of them, before I came here my home was under a bridge in downtown Cincinnati, i love where i am now, and I mean no disrespect to either state, Mississippi and Kentucky are beautiful states and the people would give you the shirt off their backs. In the few years I was homeless in Cincinnati 2 people froze to death on the streets. Its sad how we treat each other. In Cincinnati people blatantly ignore you, they wont even say hi or good morning if you say it to them....they think if they ignore the problem it goes away, it just gets worse.....
The lady is not a bad looking person at all, and that beautiful hair she has is all hers! She just needs help and prayers!
RJW27 STFU that's a damn wig!!!
She needs MONEY NOT PRAYERS!!!
kruff39. NA SAY THAT AGAIN!!! 👍🌸
that's not a lady dweeb
Dazzling Jewel ☠️😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 buhahahaha
Prayers so true and they all deserve a life ....NO MATTER THEY JUST NEED STRUCTURE N GUIDANCE
Homelessness has been an epidemic in Jackson, Ms. since the mid 1980's
I hope all these beautiful people will be able to have a loving safe happy home of their own real soon by faith my prayers are with them day by day please stay strong with god all things are possible..
Ty 💙
So sad the life of the poor and needy one's who can't help themselves💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢🙏 so heart broken to see anyone living in such way
I understand all of these people I've been there myself and I pray to God to help me get over this and I would never ever go backwards again and now I have more then I ever had in my life
Hallelujah To Jesus Christ He Brought me out of that mess also
Plz keep sharing that 💙😘
@@michaeljohnson5684 me also Amen
Look closely at Megan's face. You can tell that at some point she was an incredibly beautiful woman. She's still very good-looking, but...circumstances...circumstances.
AlexanderNevermind I was thinking the same thing she was beautiful
Robert WEATHERSBY no it’s laziness that does this to people.
@@filthyanimal874 You are a judgemental asshole. You know nothing about those people or their situation.
They have the most interesting stories I hope the most high blesses me with money so I can help these people one day
There is no most high!!
+warrior Dog thank you for that check . all praises to the Most High.
seriously????
Amen
when doing a documentary please stop with the music.We need to hear the people talk.
Thank u for that comment, music pathetic!!!!!!!!
You are so right. It takes away from the subject matter.
They don't understand because they from Mississippi to is the nature what they do but I agree with you cut the music
I can't imagine how poor you have to be to be homeless in Mississippi.
What can we do to help? It is heartbreaking
God loves these people...bad choices they have made....but they still needs a job n someone to encourage them to do better.....Praying 4 em....they needs help, not just money....a job,place to stay encouragement to do better n make right choices.....i am a Mississippian....
You are sooo right
How is Megan Jones doing ? She is an incredibly beautiful woman. I just hope she was able to overcome her situation and find peace.
Lord if your listing please help these people because they need it💖.
Jackson was booming back then in the early 90s Washington district , woods street ,vernden edition , really the whole city was booming back then
Black people have killed Jackson.The people had to flee the crime.Most moved to madison which was about 400 people.Now the city of Jackson is mostly there or pearl or many of the roads going to all surrounding counties.
Thanks for posting.
so touching
Awful: I’ve been thru that part of life & found out suffering made me a better person because Jesus Suffered & Endured. So must the Believer; Amen 🙏
AMEN
Love the music
Mee too . Very appropriate
That Marvin Gaye??
So sad! I seen it with my own eyes 👀! 😢
🎶yo mama's on crack rock. ... not my mama!🎶Really though, these folks should not be going to jail for drugs. That's a moral issue, not criminal.
He is definitely right, Education is the key. It will take to wherever u want to go. It does NOT matter how much money u have. There is homelessness in every city, but I find it to be so much worse if the individuals involved if they r already living in a poverty stricken community. God have MERCY on us all. Thank u for sgarung.!
You couldn't possibly publish the date this was filmed???
May 17, 2014
Edwin Carter spoke the TRUTH.......education is the best tool to improve your circumstances.......whether its BIBLE education, DRUG education, FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY education, trade school, GED, college......EDUCATE, EDUCATE, EDUCATE!!!!
Mastering a trade is a way out..
Great music, however, annoying during this video...I would like to clearly HEAR the life stories when shared!
That damn Edwin..!!!! He was a good SMART man.. R.I.P brother
I can better understand what they say without competing music.
That’s the stewpot, even when you drive through that part of time you feel a shift in the atmosphere. I feel a since of hopelessness in the air. I pray for them folks
God help her please in Yahusha’s name amen
8 years if a black president and not one time did Obama address homeless in America.
There is a lot Obama fail to address the agenda didn't include the homeless, he got the Gay laws past, because they spend the $$$$$$. Mental illness is major and a lot of not just blacks need it. You also want to be sympathetic to peoples plights & situations a lot of people are in there right mind & you choose to put the pipe to your lips/drugs & continue to make bad choices and want people to sympathize with them that's not right either.
trick noon talking ain’t doing!
@Jewel Clover pig
He was a manchurian candidate
People need to learn how to come together and fix their own neighborhoods and stop looking to a BLACK president to address their issues. You have local politicians that’s put in place to make changes in your city. Elections are just for presidential smh. Who did you all write to about the homeless issues? What laws did you want to see get passed? What did any of you get together and do to fix the problem? Or were you waiting for someone to lead you instead of being a leader for your own people!
They say God is within all of us and he moves in mysterious ways and you know its all they got left now !! Bless them all Lord !
so sad
my the almighty Father Bless us all
I was recently in Jackson at the Amtrak station and homeless men were everywhere looking to be in hyper mental crisis
None of these people deserves this. I know people that treat others bad, and yet they have all the modern conveniences. Life is not fair.
Cut the music!
My My peoples love them
The White guy told the truth about the US system.
Rosita L
Start reading your constitution and in force the law
Rosita Lerner he’s just a lazy bitter fool who has no one to blame but himself.
Does anyone have a update on Megan?
Wonder how she is doing now
Edwin Carter - Education is the only way out 💯😢 Listen Up !
It's amazing to me that we live in the greatest, most wealthy nation on Earth, yet we have a homeless epedemic. We have $30+Billion dollars per year to send to Israel & other nations but somehow don't have the resources to take care of home first..... shameful!

No homeless in Chicago or other big cities. Why pick on Mississippi. It’s a good state that has similar problems of other states.
Homeless people.
jerry irvin Oh yes. it is Homeless people in Chicago and other Big City's
People are just people everyday, everywhere
I know exactly how they feel, I pray that God will bless me, so I can bless other people, cause the world doesn't revolve around me, my ambition is to help make a change and provide job's to those who can work, so all you who read this, let's wake up and stop focusing on ourselves, cause our people need us real bad, so let's stop looking down on others,(and that's for real)
You know it makes it kind of hard to listen to what these people are saying with the music in the background
Crazy thing is i meet emmegg and he was trying to get me a job
What's with the music,
Terri White/lmfao 😆 I suppose it is to lift up the viewer's spirits so the speak.
That white guy was kicking knowledge @ 10:21
The only homeless people I actually feel sorry for are the ones who are homeless because they got priced out, loss of job, or was in an abusive situation. People who are homeless because they are on drugs I do not feel sorry for. But I wish them all well and hope they get their lives together.
Well at least you all have family
how the hell he didn't know it was snowing in his pocket...he remembered buying that crack😬🍙
I would put together a six month counseling. Year drug treatment, to get into housing. Volunteer work for the community to pay rent.
I sorry but I can't hear a word they are saying
Thts crazy tht we still hve homeless people in the Us
music way to loud !!!!!!!!
The guy from Memphis is incorrect about MS. All cities have the same problem with homelessness. I have a brother who's homeless and he wants it that way. We've gone and found him several times, set him up with work and an apartment and he will disappear.
My last living two siblings may be homeless. They both get monthly government checks and are on crack really bad. I say maybe because I haven't been to my home town in over two years. Also my cousin told me that I was ganna have to let my brother live with me. I quickly ended the conversation. I refuse to let a drug addict even know where I live, yet live with me.
Drugs is never a victimless crime if it were then there would be no victims .We need to be able to put our drugs and substance abuse into our past and leave it there .The way forward is to live in the now. When you want your life back then take it! Live in the now ,this is important .When you are living in the now you must make everything that you are doing now to move you forward .1 step at a time . OUR CREATOR HAS CREATED US TO BE IN SELF ACTUALIZE R. WE CHOOSE WHAT WE WANT .WE THINK OURSELVES INTO CERTAIN SITUATIONS AND IT BECOMES OUR REALITY .THE THING TO DO IS TO CHANGE OUR THOUGHTS ,THEN COMBINE THOSE THOUGHTS WITH ACTIONS IN THE NOW AND OUR LIVES WILL CHANGE YOU CAN HAVE WHATEVER YOU WANT TO .SEE YOURSELF IN THE NEW! GET YOUR THOUGHTS IN SYNC WITH YOUR ACTIONS . LET NOTHING STOP YOU ,THE PAST IS UNREACHABLE SO STOP LIVING IN IT LIVE IN THE NOW . THOUGHTS + ACTION TO BRING IT ABOUT = WHATEVER LIFE YOU WANT TO LIVE . AS LONG AS YOU HAVE LIFE THEN YOU CAN CHANGE, IT IS NEVER TO LATE. START WHERE YOU ARE !
Reading All your comments😊 but what are you doing to help? Really ask yourself !! I was raised in the ghetto but got out by God's Gace and hard work. Now helping others to do the same in Jesus Name!
Yeah being homeless is a transition
all this damn protesting against the u.s.a about people of other countries towhich we got going on😣😣😣😣
Lord, tooooo many po me stories
Clinton Newsome aka Bull walking at the end Lord I miss him Father be with us all
Lots people well off, also many po folk,balance of life.wirk or get disability check,Gosh!!!!
the lord is busy enough, the good folk of the great state of mississippi need help, damn Washington dc don't give a hoot, these people worked hard all their lives, we need action not rhetoric down south......
The music is annoying. It covers the voices. I'd rather hear from those talking than music
The system can never beat you, you have to beat yourself. Don't ever give up! Crack killed applejack, jack jumped in but he couldn't jump back! He was just too blind to see, that death lives in the crack house. Surround yourself with successful people and you will become successful.
Hey I got someone you can interview that will give you a whole 360 degrees to this and it can be updated info. hmu
great upload, but poverty is an choice the only way out is education .
some people are not employable, also a lot of learning disability.
On the nail!!! I said the same thing.
One of the poorest states in Union the senator Governor congressman everybody should be ashamed of themselves whoever called themselves representing Mississippi is allowing that state to die
If we could stop drug use we would end about 80 percent of problems!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The person that sells hard drugs to people should be executed.......period!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its time we as Black people rethink our political preference ,and open our eye to what we see as reality. We had a black president that flooded this country with illegal immigrants that get jobs over blacks that been here for generations!!! This is nation wide ,if this wasnt a wake call i dont know what is.
Yo on dem streets cause I wanna BE
Boo hoo,Every body has had problems or tough life,get up n shut up n CARRY ON
When I see the special on Puerto Rico or Honduras, or Mexico I'm gonna make sure to have the reaction. Oh and you keep that energy as well
we all make choices
Suzanne Morris To be rich? To be poor? To be educated? To have good and loving parents? To get addicted to drugs and alchohol? Most 'choice' is based upon affluence. The more affluent one is the more choices one may have. People born into or live in poverty, regardless of how they got there, have few choices. There but for the grace of God go I.
amen.
Homeless capitol of the worl
Folks the only thing God is going to do for you is call you home!!!
I don't no what to say right now my crack got me feeling good like I'm the Sonic Boom of the south
Jesus is the way and Satan wants to destroy you.
his name is yahusua
The King is also Yeshua!
my take on Alan comment is that if you become footstep followers of Jesus, and prayerfully ask Almighty God for strength, to stay strong and not allow room for the devil to influence your life; work in harmony with your prayers. Adhere to 1corithians 15:33 life for you would turn out much better.
One of His names

Well known smush banana,spaghetti skid row
MS IS MICHAEL JACKSON AND HES NOT DEEDD HE HAS COFFIN
How can you be homeless anywhere in Mississippi is beyond me
Imma Gophermine from not knowing how to get to the resources u need
Easy the houses maybe cheaper then many other places but number of jobs available are very low and many the pay isnt enough for all bills
Imma Gophermine I know right,
People don’t make money in Mississippi. The education system here is horrible. People give up hope. Not a lot has changed here in Mississippi. Getting away is most people’s hope but harder than you know.
Imma Gophermine Drug's

Tersoo Awen wow!! That is so true! Not to mention, the young lady said she lost sight of The Most High!
hold fast we are israelites
I was wondering are the majority of homeless people in mississippi black? Most of the people that I see on these homeless videos are people of color. Is this a problem that happens mostly to black population? I was watching videos about homeless people in Detroit and most of them use drugs. Their drug habit costs them $200 to $300 per day. Thats around $100,000 per year these homeless people spend on recreational drugs each year. They are HOMELESS BY CHOICE!!! They are making more money than most people with full time jobs and wasting it on drugs instead of a home and car. Its hard to feel sorry for people like that.
Thank you for NOT playing rap music. Black people need to abandon that crap and return to soul. Thanks for Marvin Gaye.
$5.00. PIZZA
What about all the homeless war vets and people who lost here homes due to gov/Wall st corruption ????? Capitalism is the problem ...
Ms has some of the cheapest shacks n the country! I don't get it. Homelessness? Buy a $30.00 shack!
Tracy's Kitchen and Appalachian Adventures There's nothing for $30!!! A shotgun shack is over $300 & " HOMELESS" how they going to get money
Tracy's Kitchen and Appalachian Adventures that's not true. It's wayyy more to it than just that. I live in jackson ms and I'm here to say that's not true
Tracy's Kitchen and Appalachian Adventures Live a day in their shoes
Get the money!??? Get a fucking JOB like everyone else has to do.
Do you really believe they would choose to be in the situation they are in rather than get a job? Get some sense.
