      so...they all got famous to get out of mississippi? Buffet lives in florida and long island, Elvis residence is in Tennessee, Henson and J.E.Jones live/d in NY, Rick Ross in Georgia, Cooke was raised in chicago and died in CA, Brittney and Oprah live in CA.

    As a Mississippian, you nailed this one. I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time. Side note: some of us know that God isn’t exactly the right answer. Someone very wise once told me that God helps those that help themselves. When you want something or you’re looking for answers to unanswerable questions, FIRST you do literally everything you can do personally, THEN it’s time to pray.

    • @WillRennar

      Yep. It's kinda like that joke about the person who kept praying, "Dear God, please let me win the lottery!" week after week after week, and every week they didn't win. Finally, one day as they're once again making their plea, "Dear God, _please_ let me win the lottery!" a voice from above thunders down and says to them...

    Knew it was gonna be good the moment it said Missippi. Lived here my whole life, and the state government and city governments are all shit. But most of the folks are decent and don't deserve what's going on.
    The state has ghosts, my way of saying we've got a long sordid history where a lot of beauty was born out of a lot of pain. Despite everything we keep trying.
    There's always something cool if you know where to look.
    As a Jackson native, we get a lot of hate from other, lets face it, SUUUPER white flight areas surrounding us like. Most namely is Madison, a brick snorefest where the only thing good is the movie theatre. Compared to Jackson where we have all the good music, food, and art. Jackson has 160k people and 80% are black. Not gonna lie, them calling us nicknames like Jafrica says more about them than it does us especially when so many of them work here.
    Recent problems are because our pipes are decades old and the state could have stepped in at any point before now, run investigations on the local government to see what the holdup is, anything. But no, its the majority Democrat and black city in the state, so we get left out to dry.
    Ben if you ever wanna do a followup, look up the DHS welfare fraud scandal and give the current and former governors, and Brett Favre, some hell.

    As a Mississippian, I agree with the statement about the south and the coast. I’m from the south and we are TOTALLY different from the coast people. Also, I told my parents about the land mass joke and they looked at me like they had PTSD! 😂

  • @jeffisaperson4471
    @jeffisaperson4471 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    And yep, all the facts here are accurate, as a Mississippian. As far as tourism though, probs ought to stick to Jackson or the Coast. Biloxi and Ocean Springs especially.
    Oh, and we have CoastCon! First Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of every March, in Biloxi. :)
