Unboxing Mississippi: What It's Like Living in Mississippi
ฝัง

- Is Mississippi racist?
Is Mississippi poor?
And is Mississippi still living in the past?
We’re going to answer those tough deep uncomfortable questions and talk about a whole lot more too. So go get yer mammies and yer pappies and yer pas. We’re gonna unbox the state of Mississippi!
The Mississippi River. What a grand gal she is. It’s the 2nd longest river in the country and certainly one of the widest in the world. I mean at the top of the river this thing is 11 miles wide! There’s water in that thing from 31 different states, and even parts of Canada. Along its banks are many major cities, and this waterway has been a critical means of transportation, power, and food for this country since before we were even a country.
1 out of every 4 species of fish is found in this river and its home to 40% of all migratory birds found in the US. It really is an ecological wonder. There’s stories about this river that make for some good reading. Lots of big boats met its bottom and many songs have been written about its muddy waters too.
Today, engineers are constantly battling with this river, creating artificial dams, banks and levees to try and keep the river within its current course. It’s very important to the south, and to the state of Mississippi in particular.
But this area near the river here in Mississippi are just a small part of this state overall. This state has a lot more to explore, and odds are if you moved here, you wouldn’t live anywhere NEAR the Mighty Mississippi. If you’re curious about what Mississippi is like, and are thinking of making this your home, well, then, you need to know all about the Magnolia State. And I think you might be surprised to hear that this state far exceeds whatever stereotypes you’ve heard in the past. I’d bet if you moved here, you might find it’s better than you’d expect, but worse than you would like.
This is Mississippi. You could break this state up into several areas, and each one would have its own culture, economic outlook and outlook on life. Some areas are really bad and some parts of this state are doing really well. It’s an average sized state - about the size of New York, but the population here is only about that of San Antonio. And as we’ll see, the population here is shrinking. We’ll see why soon enough.
But for now, let’s begin our tour of this state here in the northeast part of Mississippi.

Love your channel! Very detailed, great commentary, and sense of humor you're funny 😅 lol. I lived in Mississippi for 33 yrs, my whole family is there ❤️ You just taught me a lot I never knew. Weird thing is except for the Hattiesburg area I don't know much about Mississippi But I drive trucks and after only 2 yrs I know California, Arizona, New Mexico up and down 🤷🏾♀️
Appalacia is not in Mississippi, Nick.
When you coming back or you still here? I wanna show you around to some things people don't know about.
Is the Corinth area safe? How much for 2 BR house w/ garage & fenced yard?
I live in Mississippi and no matter what your color is you meet the nicest most helpful people during any honest situation.

100% true 👍🏿 😁
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.
Hello the sweetesttea how are you doing and how is the weather over there with you
I'm glad you think so.
It already is an awesome place to live. Get over yourself.
@@amandad4811 you’re rude.
Hope everything is going well for you
I live in Mississippi,,
Long Beach for 9 years and
Gulfport for 2 years
Moving down here saved me 😌
Thank you Mississippi 🙏
I'm hoping to move there myself very soon . Hope your statement about "saving you" is true for me as well !
Me too

A shame you didn’t interview any Mississippians of color. I would love to hear some more diverse perspectives.
What is it that you would like to know more of I'll let you know?
@@renaalam1852 would love to know how life in Mississippi is from a Black perspective and how is it changing?
@@IlCaroSassone I'm curious too
Exactly, bcuz the narrator really didn't tell the POSITIVE things about Biloxi and I stay there & it's not as DANGEROUS in Biloxi like it is in GULFPORT! So he didn't explain enough accurate views about down here at all to me. Whether what race!
When a person really haven't stayed down here, they should VISIT and tell the TRUTH.
I’m from Milwaukee Wisconsin I now live in Ocean Springs Mississippi and I love it I never plan on leaving.
Yessss I just moved from Minnesota, it's so much better omg
I agree, transplant from Baltimore, Maryland now living in Gulfport. Cost of living, weather and the Southern hospitality is so much better here.
Me too Ocean Springs is goated
Our weather in winter no doubt is better but summers are downright horrible, I hibernate!!!
I'm in Gautier
I'm a black woman that lived in Mississippi and I have also lived in Boston Massachusetts. I find that Boston was more Rasicist than Mississippi. 🤔
What?? Why?
Every race lived in different parts of the city. Here in Mississippi I live in a mixed neighborhood. I find that a lot of neighborhoods are mixed here in Mississippi.
Me being a navy vet and have travel the world more than twice, i could say that mississippi has the most hospitality and friendilest people in the world.
If you're WHITE
Thank you
I have been in MI several times for academic related purposes. Oxford as a town was nice. So many different people. But I also ventured outside of Oxford. I am a person of color (but not African American) and I didn't listen to warnings of just staying in Oxford, don't go out. For sure it happened at a local gas station people were looking at me and I got the question "When are you going home". I never forget that. Generally when they smile at me, I know it is fake
....just not the brightest.
@@annaroberts3160 in this country...who is ?
I was raised in MS. I still live here. I always wanted to get out of here! I moved to TX for a few years, AZ, Nashville, Dauphin island! But yet I’m back here in MS. And honestly the way things are going in America I’m thankful to live here now!

America is changing for the worse.
Spent time in coastal Mississippi in the late 2000s after Katrina hit the area. Lovely people. Gorgeous countryside. Heartbreaking poverty. It's a part of the country with a special place in my heart.
💪🏿💪🏿🙏🏿
@@americanadreaming oh honey when was the last time you’ve been on the coast? Trust me the gulf coast is a lot better than a lot of other places in the South.
Girl you straight up lying.
Casinos are not on every corner in Biloxi or Gulfport.
I live in Waveland and I have to say even though I lost everything due to Katrina I love my home. The coast is so different than the rest of the state in my humble opinion. We offer so much culture right here on the coast. I don’t think I could live anywhere else at this point in my life.
i know! i ride horse and my instructer has about a 100 acre pure pasture land thats gourgous
I was born and raised in Biloxi, still am here. when he said the Coast might as well be it’s own state, it’s completely true, it’s so different from the whole entire state, if anyone is thinking about moving to Mississippi, any part of the coast would be great.
I was just there I'm from tupelo
Well said!
The Mississippi gulf coast is a melting pot. There are people from all over the world. It’s about as cosmopolitan as you’ll get in the south, apart from maybe New Orleans, but it’s pretty much the same territory
The coast is cleaner than most the state but still has nothing to offer other than the casinos 🎰
It’s “cleaner”?
I am from Chicago but my heritage is from Mississippi (Starkville). Mississippi is such a naturally beautiful state with fertile soil and great climate throughout. It has also contributed so much to American arts. It has so much untapped potential.
Born and raised in northern Mississippi. Moved to Utah 2 years ago. Almost everything you said was accurate. I never hated my home state but I came west for better jobs, less humidity and better education. I wanted my kids to have better opportunities than I did. 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.
Same here, I moved out from laurel Mississippi and now I live in Denver Colorado. And I love the people in Mississippi. But there’s no good jobs there so I left.

@@JuanZ223 Incest is rare and meth not a problem here. Opioids are the drug of choice like all other states.
@@clb3297 Thank you 🙏
@@JuanZ223 🤣🤣🤣 facts. Such facts.
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.
I liked this video very much! It took up 75% of my English lessons today. Great job!
Thanks from Germany
Has anyone heard of the music company Malaco Records? It's based out of Jackson MS. Music artists like Johnnie Taylor, Bobby Blue Bland, ZZ Hill, Tyrone Davis, Denise LaSalle, and Little Milton had contracts with Malaco. Genres were R&B, blues, and gospel.
Most definitely I have Johnnie Taylor and Tyrone Davis in my playlist. Have you heard of Mississippi Slim?

@@TheTillmanSneakerReview a shot in the dark here, but this winter I'm planning to bicycle back through the gulf (ish) area of Mississippi and I'm looking for a couple or three chesp acres. I ain't rich, my friend; I'm just a hard worker. My two daughters and their hubbys and my grandson are all with me when I say we need to get out of New York state and find some cheap land where we can build some little homes and raise my grandson. Won't start a politics discussion here but suffice it to say it's getting scary up here for us small town folks. If you hear of anything that you think might suit our needs please comment back and let us know my friend ♥️
Lol worst decision someone could make is moving to Mississippi
@@forevergone3637 please tell me why. It's a big decision and I can use all the input I can find♥️
Nick I’m so upset you didn’t interview a Black person. Black people are embedded in so much history if this state. I promise the back experience is different and we the viewers would love to hear all about it too. It’s not all ghetto 😒and there’s no reason to be afraid 🙄. We want the all around experience!
Yeah i saw that as strange just because of the simple fact that the state has the highest percentage of blacks in the U.S.
Exactly Mississippi has the highest percentage of African Americans in America
@@vasqueztalbert9 Highest percentage but population of Mississippi is just 3 Million with 1.15M African Americans. Many other states have more African Americans by numbers. TX alone has 3.9M, more than population of Mississippi. GA almost 4M. Maryland almost 2M. NC has 2. 5 Million. District of Columbia has highest percentage at 47. 2%

32:00 my aunt and uncle lives in Olive Branch in DeSoto County. For being so close to Memphis, the neighborhoods are a sharp contrast to that of Memphis. My mom lived there for almost her entire childhood. Never saw a bullet casing on the ground until after she married my dad.
I've lived pretty much all over this country of ours from Colorado to Virginia and from Louisiana to Montana. I was born in Jackson, MS and now reside in North Brandon. And simply put there's really no other place I'd rather live. Mississippi is a slower pace of life and most of the general population is a very laid back and kind hearted folks. Education and Healthcare are on the rise and aside from a few knuckleheads in the Metro areas of Jackson, Meridian, and Biloxi this state is relatively safe.
Exactly

@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.

Thank you!! Appreciate your work!!
I LOVE living in Mississippi! I am a Mississippi girl through and through and am PROUD of it! I have had the opportunity to travel the entire state as Mississippi’s Miss Hospitality 2018! Mississippi is a place filled with creative genius, not only are we the birthplace of America’s music but we are also the home to many famous writers and artists. This video is great and filled with dry facts but until you actually come to MS and experience the hospitality and genuine kindness that can’t be found anywhere else, then you’ll never truly understand the beauty and charm that MS has!! We truly are a destination to cherish and if you visit then you will love every second😉☺️!!

Hey Carole!!❤️
I was born and raised in Oxford Ms. I moved to Milwaukee Wi in the 80. I love my home state and still go back home until this day.
I have lived in/around all of my life and have always traveled within Mississippi for work for over 30 years and your entire video is 100% accurate. Great research. And great video sir.
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.
Hello 👋, good morning
"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.

@@ACN-ROCKSTARS as another poster stated I am also in Australia ! Some day I hope to buy a small investment property somewhere in the USA to give me a bit of extra income when I'm older !
@@ACN-ROCKSTARS Too many klansmen in the South. No way!
That's sad because he's not giving accurate information
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
I'm sure they struggled understanding yours also! lol
@@nickie7874 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
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.

@@abeljones9943 nah, accents are from regional influences though. So I always wonder what ethnic groups contributed to the different regional accents? What different people contributed to the accent ppl, who have long been in Mississippi speak with? Louisiana said have their particular cell to too. My ears are always tuned in to the differences. I don’t think education is solely responsible for the accents. But I could be wrong.
My grandfather was born and raised in Mississippi. He was born in 1924. He said he would walk by black people hanging from trees and was told not to look at white woman because they used to falsely accuse black male. He was forced to move north because Caucasians were so rough with African Americans. So yeah if your Caucasian I'm sure Mississippi is a very kind place.
100 years ago!
Thanks for sharing and I really like your humble little song
I've been to every state except Alaska and I can tell you that Mississippi has its problems but so does every other state and some of the other states makes Mississippi look like a paradise.
The key word "looks likes".
@Derrick Bridges Sounds like a riddle.
I've been to all 50. I love Mississippi the best. There are bad people and areas in every state. The "paradise" states are unaffordable.
"To each it's own".
@@jessepolkjr7067 which is the cheap&safe city for live?
I live in MS. This is very well researched. Good job. One thing, though: Biloxi is pronounced bill-LUX-ee not bill-LOX-ee.
AND Pass Christian is pronounced Pass Kris jee-Anne
Yup

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.
Your songs are hilarious! Thanks for the chuckles!
The price you pay for a small row house here in Belgium is equal to that of a damn mansion in this state
What you make in a year in Belgium is equal to ten years of Mississippi wages
@@tm100pct7 facts
@@tuurmolenaers how much do you make in Belgium cause it's 38k in missippi
@@tm100pct7 wrong Belgium gdp per capita 46500 in Mississippi its 38500
@@AndrewLaMonica1 GDP per capita is assuming that everyone makes roughly the same. Wealth inequality in Mississippi is extreme, in comparison to Belgium. It's great that the upper middle class does well for itself, but the bottom 80 pct doesn't have anything . The economy may be growing for the top ten percent, but for the rest of us, we are worse off year by year.
Bring back a lot of memories... Lived in Strakville, Mississippi in the early 90's for 5-6 years. :-)
I was there at the same time... *waves*
Hello James , how are you doing??
@@rubies200 I was there for 17 years and I miss my friends that are still there. Was a good time. :D
Lucedale has revived quite a bit since the 1980’s. Walmart has been here since around 86 or 87. I am biased but I think it has charm. I have lived in 4 other states and spent extended time abroad and I chose to move back when I had the opportunity.
Does anybody who watched all nicks videos watch how he clearly has progressed and became a master at making this sort of content! Can’t wait for the next unboxing vid
I've been watching Ben
The coast is DEFINITELY a different state than the rest of Mississippi lol
and not safer 😂
The coast don't claim Mississippi. I've lived on the coast 34 years
Omg, I loved your video so much until you got to the interview!!! Wow. I’m utterly in shock with some of these responses. 😭
These places have a charm to them. I think there is something charming about many places that are poor , but rich in unseen attributes.
The guy you interviewed..He's a nice guy and very honest I like that ...be nice Nick

The perspective definitely depends on the person because I was born in Jackson and currently reside in Brandon. I explore all ends of the state and I adapt to wherever I go.
This show helped us tremendously
Can’t wait to Dash in Mississippi 🙌🙌❤️❤️
Born & Raised in MS. Lived in North MS & South. I like your video. I think the kid you talked to that was about to graduate college had the best perspective on our state. We basically have an older generation (70’s-80’s) of white men who do not want change, they have power, pull and money. When their generation starts dying off is when we may see some positive change for our state. We do have many contracts with large industrial corporations that are bringing lots of jobs to our state and recognition, but no one pays attention because we are just MS. I think everyone should be required to read “Dispatch’s From Pluto” it is a great perspective into the state. Honestly, if you have never lived here, you will never understand it.
I was born and reared in Mississippi, living my childhood in the Delta, then my adult life in “the hills.” I’ve had a wonderful life. My job paid less, but it was also less expensive, still is. Gas here is still under $3.00. There are many opportunities for recreation, especially for hunting and fishing, and the air and water are still pure. I graduated from the Mississippi University for Women in Columbus, near Starkville, with a degree in Fine Art. Come spend some time here before you shade us. The people are wonderful as well, kind and friendly. And boiled peanuts rock!
🤜🏽🤛🏽
plus at Ole Miss they red shirt Miss Americas
I'm from. Columbus Mississippi myself our dear mother moved us away.When i was the age of 9,Up North,to.Michigan, but i did move back in 95,with my daughter stayed for about a year,but,like you stated the job's paid less so,i moved back up north making $17 a hour.👍🏽
👏👏
I love Mississippi and all the lovely people.
As I am watching this video in downtown Jackson, I saw the building where I am at in one of the video shots. I have been in Mississippi since 2000. My work has taken me to live in Greenville, Jackson, Yazoo City, Tupelo, and Pearl. Mississippi is my adopted state. I have lived here now more than any other state. I am happy to call Mississippi home.
Greenville!
@@NickJohnson that’s my hometown Nick, it’s in the northwest part of the state.
I live in Oxford, MS, as a high school student I thought it was quite funny that you brought up the “preppy” thing. The two public schools in that town are Oxford and Lafayette, Oxford kids call Lafayette kids “rednecks” and Lafayette kids call oxford kids “preppy.” We even have a spirit day when we play against each other in football, we call this “cross town classic,” where people dress up preppy/redneck to make fun of the other school.
Born and raised in the Mississippi Delta, and I encourage young people to leave and experience other parts of the country. However, as a retiree you cannot ask for a better place to chill.
Amen, retiring back there in a few years from California to my hometown, Yazoo City, Ms.
@@rcoll60743 I was born in the Mississippi Delta too. Finished HS in 1964, left and never went back, but I have had thoughts about moving to Hattisburg, MS.
Ok. Thank you sir. GOD bless yall over in Mississippi!! Please keep yalls SECOND AMENDMENT!!
Brilliant video! You deserve a TH-cam Emmy!
Aww I misses Mississippi.....Beautiful extremely gorgeous state with beautiful sweet people and good food...Yes a few crazy goof ball people but that's in all 50 states....I grewup there & would rather live there than any other state...I married a military guy and living near fort Riley for years..👌🏾👌🏾💯💯
I live in Sardis, MS. Raised in Southaven. I love Mississippi, but I do hate the summers here. Really, the only thing that keeps me here is my mother, she's elderly and I should be near her. I lived in El Paso, TX for a few years in my 20s (my son is still out that way), and one day I'm gonna move back there to where the summers are hot but dry, and the sky is big. One day I'm saying goodbye to Mississippi.
So is Texas heat similar to Nevada?
