My parents grew up during the Great Depression. They were poor; their parents were poor. My mother's parents lost a four-year-old son to a bowel obstruction. My father's parents lost six children to a variety of illnesses. No health insurance. Both families were poor. HOWEVER, they never lived in conditions like these. You can be poor, but you don't make a shithouse of your surroundings. That's a personal choice. These people have no pride of place or surroundings. No amount of money is going to fix bad attitudes and acutely disgusting conditions. And if you put these people someplace else, they'll do the same damn thing with their residence.
I helped rebuild new houses in areas like this in the 80s and 90s. It amazes me how filthy the new houses were after just 6 months,to a year. I grew up very poor, but never filthy. It becomes a way of life for these people.
@@billwoods5406 Nothing surprises me anymore about public housing or even home ownership. I've seen spanking new highrise low-income apartments trashed within a few months of opening. Filth, debris, feces and urine in the hallways. Same thing for the low-income people the government buys homes for-----the places are shitholes, and if the people can't afford a house to begin with, how can they maintain it, pay taxes and more? Because they're on a perpetual handout program for everything under the sun they don't care. It's like in Africa----shit up a place, burn it down, and move on to repeat the cycle.
I went there after Katrina. I worked for Phillip Morris. When we got to the hotel they told us not to leave for anything. Order food. Pizza. Whatever. Just don’t leave the hotel.
A while back I was in the ER waiting room at UMMC and a nurse came and her exact words were” I need everyone to clear the first 3 rows for your safety, just incase something goes down”
I noticed that also! Glad I don't have those vehicles payments not to mention insurance and tag costs. As for me I'll continue to be happy with my 22 yr.old Pontiac Grand AM/cheaper insurance,even cheaper plates and NO car notes. ALL this extra $$'s is better spent on upkeep on my home
Yes so true..I grewup in Mississippi. My parents had 11 kids...but we was made 2 pick up paper of the yard and mow and burn trash...people will wash shine polish and worship a car and not mow pickup trash or fix what they can fix...Ur so right..👈🏾👈🏾👈🏾💯💯
I notice that there are a few houses in decent shape with nice yards. Nice of the old cats to give you a wave.Still, the rest of that hood was trash city......
I cannot believe these people live in these poor conditions. We live in the United States. Both my father and mother were brought up in the southern part of Texas during the depression. I went to the area where they lived. I could not believe the house's they were brought up in. Both of my parents were raised only by their mothers. My father went into the army during the Korean War and my mother was working in the fields in Ventura County in the city of Santa Paula where she had relatives living in the town. My father went to college and got a BA degree and is a retired Income Tax Consultant after 50 years, both my mother and father were High School sweethearts. Sadly! my mother died in December 2006 of Bone Cancer. My father was devastated after just celebrating their 50th anniversary in July of that year. My father will be 93 years next month in April. He is now remarried to a good woman, who takes care of him. He is happy in 2024. AMEN!
Somebody needs to go down to city hall and demand that this area is cleaned up! The burned down homes and vegetation……..now the occupied houses need to clean and fix up.
I can't imagine living like this. Im retired in Danbury, CT. I live on a fixed income. I live in a large studio. I keep it clean, and I keep my patio clean
This video is a good reminder that we have to pay more attention to generating good employment here in the United States, in all of our industries and new industries as well. And not to forget we have people here in the USA living in problem situations. This is a good reminder we have to try to do better.
Doesn't matter to generate new jobs, if people are to lazy to work or always blaming the others for them just being lazy, nasty, uneducated and having too many babies. Just so you know I am black, well educated and I grow up poor. Not any more, very middle class.❤
@@debrahunter6303 You make a point, that is true. My personal view however, is that it is best to look at employment as a function of greater business and economic activity - so gains in employment are beneficial from two standpoints: 1) delivering the benefit of more money and worthwhile activity for more people, and 2) as part of a package of more benefits that come with more economic activity.
I remember my mother's words when I was little and news from Vietnam, the famine in Ethiopia or poverty would come on the TV screen, "Thank God we didn't come into the world THERE!!!"
Drove across the South in the 80s and got off Interstate 10 in Mississippi to find gas. I thought I'd seen poverty but Mississippi took the cake. It was hard to believe it was the U.S. A near naked woman was nursing a naked 3 year old on the porch of the dilapidated gas station I found. When the kid was done he jumped off her lap and ran off around the corner. Then this gal - wearing nothing but an oversized t-shirt (I could see her muff) - smiled at me with about half her teeth missing. For $5 I think I could have had any service she offered. I only had a few gallons in the tank but I stopped pumping and figured I could get far enough down the highway to get the hell out of Mississippi.
@@richmondwotters It was like something out of Deliverance. Only place in Mississippi I ever went. I'm sure there's nice places in the state but after that I didn't stick around to find out.
Was this area affected by the Pearl River flood in August 2022? Google maps shows a vastly different neighborhood from just a few years ago. The houses were in decent shape, there was green grass, and it was clean.
This would make me lose it! There is no way I would ever commit to this "self-defeating" and "hopeless" lifestyle. No one in this community/neighborhood has the faith to believe that better is possible? I see so many possibilities, but I cannot force my vision on anyone🙏!
I was just there in Jackson MS last year Feb 2023 and being there felt good as I have not been there since 2015 but when I was there visiting my family (Dad, Uncles Aunts, Cousins) I was taken by how dirty the streets were and the shakes there just sitting there. My dad was disgusted of how life there has gotten a lot worse and nobody cares anymore in JackTown. It's literally like a war zone. I use to live there in my early teens because I'm half Mississippian but Caribbean-born. I now live in London UK 🇬🇧 & it did appreciate the UK more however I will always enjoy visiting Mississippi no matter how dirty it looks. I wish the politicians would make better moves for the capital as it is really bad there. I'll be back visiting Jackson sometime this year! ❤
Lies…just cuz you didn’t live in these areas doesn’t mean they didn’t exist, 80s and 90s looked just as bad or worse cuz the crack epidemic was fresh and Jackson was epicenter
@CalosGonzalez-j4t It was clean. Neighborhoods were more or less divided along racial lines, but poor neighborhoods were usually mixed to some extent. There were black and white families both in our neighborhood. Less black than white, but we all got along fairly well. I have very fond memories of all of us out in the street playing in the thick white clouds of DDT when the city sent the trucks out to spray for mosquitoes. Man, playing in a big billowing cloud of DDT was great! The only thing better than that was swimming in the sewage canal. That sewage canal was the best!
this is what most of Oakland Ca. will look like in 10 - 20 years as people who can move away slowly clear out. leaving only druggies and criminals on welfare and food stamps. unemployable at any job.
Like the song says , There ain't no pride when you're trapped inside a slowly sinking ship ! Truly , truly sad to see . I grew up in Jackson , and that hurts to see .
I grewup in Mississippi....yes it might be poverty but my Mom made us pickup paper of the yard and Mow ...it was a family of 13 of us...but we still burned the thrash..👈🏾👈🏾💯💯
It’s also kind of on the city for not razing those buildings that are destroyed. Oh that’s right, because the city only takes care of the rich part of the neighborhood/city.
Damn it’s hard to imagine these places exist in such a modern and developed country smh I wouldn’t be out there in the day time but can you imagine it at night! 😩 hell to the nawwww!
Judging from the burned out buildings, piled up trash, pot holes, boarded up houses, lack of side walks, I see a municipality void of zoning, code enforcement, and public works. When the city don’t care, the residents don’t care. Keep in mind, most of residents are likely renters as well. I’m a neighborhood advocate, and we don’t allow this where I live. The people living there are not to blame, it’s the property owners, who don’t live there and look nothing like the people you see. The owners take advantage of those folk, and are only there to collect rent, -nothing else.
@@franciscouderq1100 Absolutely. But when you pile trash up on the curb and it don't get picked up, then what?The city is supposed to do that even if the trash does not adhere to the rules. In that case, it is cleaned up and the home owner is billed. Same with the burned out houses. My town will give you a certain amount of time to repair or demolish. If you don't, they will and bill you. Low income areas don't get the same level of service because they are renters and are not organized. Homeowners have strong neighborhood associations and will demand that codes are enforced. This video shows me a city government in disarray.
Even if the owners don't live in some of the buildings the OCCUPANTS SHOULD HAVE PRIDE AND CLEAN THEIR SURROUNDINGS. IT MIGHT INSPIRE THE OWNERS TO DO THEIR DUTY
@@mblackman6627 I agree because that is what you and I would do, but you have to stop and put yourself in the shoes of a marginalized group. It is not just Americans, but marginalized people across the globe. If you have always been on the bottom tier of society, and have always been taken advantage of, you are likely not going to think in terms of bettering those around you, especially those who are profiting off your existence. Most neighborhoods filled with renters looks like crap. They are not invested. Put those same folk in their own homes and the outcome will be different.
Im from south Carolina one of I'll hood they called trash pail rd was bad ppl didn't have electricity,it was bad but the city did fix it .this is sad 😢 hate seeing ppl live like this. Praying for this town.
I wonder how many of these residents actually vote or even care to register... At the end of the day, if you don't vote you can't complain. As George Orwell wrote, "a people that elect corrupt politicians, impostors, thieves and traitors are not victims...but accomplices." #RedStatesDenial #NotVotingHasConsequences
Certain areas of Portland, Oregon, Seattle, Washington, San Francisco, California Los Angeles, California. All major cities have areas exactly like this some even worse.
@@M21655 point is the entire City of Jackson does not look like this, but a lot of parts are depressed but not nearly as bad as the places he visited in this video.
For fun, find N. Mill Street where it intersects with Botnick Court and Leonard Street in North Jackson on Google Maps. Set the date of streetview images back to 2014 and see what this neighborhood looked like then compared to now. It's the same area that he covered at the beginning of the video. Still a poor neighborhood, but it was much cleaner, hardly a boarded-up vacant house, people had pride in their homes and landscaping. Hard to believe that one decade could do this to an area!
Jackson Mississippi is the capital of Mississippi. Am sure there are neighborhoods that look better. I guess they only film the worst neighborhoods. But this is sad to see. I thought Jackson was better looking than this 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
I can guarantee this is one of the neighborhoods I lived in over 13 years ago before I moved back to to my home state. It didn't look this bad with the destroyed houses but one thing I always loved about Mississippi is everyone will speak you come up north and people act stank.
I live here in Jackson Mississippi and I want to know why did you only go to those parts?! You have sooo many nicer areas and you chose to highlight these! Not to mention how you sped pass the newer homes in that area!! You should do the entire Jackson the next time you choose to do this!
I’m sure they asked for loans for repairs on their homes but were denied. They asked for pothole repair and the city never came. It’s more to it than y’all think
I lived in Jackson from the time of my birth in 1957 till I was fourteen years of age. My family was among some of the poorest there. The homes we rented were all old but were kept up to some degree. I at an early age used to travel far and wide by foot day or night. All that changed when the ethnic demographic changed. It didn't take long and the town of Jackson was in shambles businesses closed down, law enforcement afraid to go into certain areas after dark.

No primeiro momento parece inacreditável ver umas das maiores potências do mundo com pessoas com essa cultura! O cidadão não consegue fazer uma limpeza na casa, prefere viver entre os entulhos!!

My parents grew up during the Great Depression. They were poor; their parents were poor. My mother's parents lost a four-year-old son to a bowel obstruction. My father's parents lost six children to a variety of illnesses. No health insurance. Both families were poor. HOWEVER, they never lived in conditions like these. You can be poor, but you don't make a shithouse of your surroundings. That's a personal choice. These people have no pride of place or surroundings.
No amount of money is going to fix bad attitudes and acutely disgusting conditions. And if you put these people someplace else, they'll do the same damn thing with their residence.
I helped rebuild new houses in areas like this in the 80s and 90s. It amazes me how filthy the new houses were after just 6 months,to a year. I grew up very poor, but never filthy. It becomes a way of life for these people.
@@billwoods5406 Nothing surprises me anymore about public housing or even home ownership. I've seen spanking new highrise low-income apartments trashed within a few months of opening. Filth, debris, feces and urine in the hallways. Same thing for the low-income people the government buys homes for-----the places are shitholes, and if the people can't afford a house to begin with, how can they maintain it, pay taxes and more? Because they're on a perpetual handout program for everything under the sun they don't care. It's like in Africa----shit up a place, burn it down, and move on to repeat the cycle.
Absolutely ❗️👍That’s who they are 😡
Soo agree
I went there after Katrina. I worked for Phillip Morris. When we got to the hotel they told us not to leave for anything. Order food. Pizza. Whatever. Just don’t leave the hotel.
A while back I was in the ER waiting room at UMMC and a nurse came and her exact words were” I need everyone to clear the first 3 rows for your safety, just incase something goes down”
lol😂😂
dam
really nice vehicles there
I noticed that also! Glad I don't have those vehicles payments not to mention insurance and tag costs. As for me I'll continue to be happy with my 22 yr.old Pontiac Grand AM/cheaper insurance,even cheaper plates and NO car notes. ALL this extra $$'s is better spent on upkeep on my home
Thank you for your work and very interesting videos! 💚
I mean they literally take more pride in the cars that they drive than the homes that they live in.
Yes so true..I grewup in Mississippi. My parents had 11 kids...but we was made 2 pick up paper of the yard and mow and burn trash...people will wash shine polish and worship a car and not mow pickup trash or fix what they can fix...Ur so right..👈🏾👈🏾👈🏾💯💯
They probably own the cars. The homes belong to slumlords.
It always has been with these people.

If you have a good retirement income it's a good place retire . Expenses lot less
One guy was mowing his lawn ! That was good to see .....
if i was rich i wud move here buy a hooptie and blend in looks can be deceiving 😂
A lack of hope for educational opportunities for advancement can be very depressing, leading to depression, apathy, etc.
I'm from Jackson and remember when it was a clean nice town, then they turned to a council system and it was downhill from there.
More people need to take more pride in there community ! This is just utterly disgusting !
I notice that there are a few houses in decent shape with nice yards. Nice of the old cats to give you a wave.Still, the rest of that hood was trash city......
The whole city look like a backroad
That's a section that is not the whole city.
I cannot believe these people live in these poor conditions. We live in the United States. Both my father and mother were brought up in the southern part of Texas during the depression. I went to the area where they lived. I could not believe the house's they were brought up in. Both of my parents were raised only by their mothers. My father went into the army during the Korean War and my mother was working in the fields in Ventura County in the city of Santa Paula where she had relatives living in the town. My father went to college and got a BA degree and is a retired Income Tax Consultant after 50 years, both my mother and father were High School sweethearts. Sadly! my mother died in December 2006 of Bone Cancer. My father was devastated after just celebrating their 50th anniversary in July of that year. My father will be 93 years next month in April. He is now remarried to a good woman, who takes care of him. He is happy in 2024. AMEN!
Sorry for your loss!
Somebody needs to go down to city hall and demand that this area is cleaned up! The burned down homes and vegetation……..now the occupied houses need to clean and fix up.
I can't imagine living like this. Im retired in Danbury, CT. I live on a fixed income. I live in a large studio. I keep it clean, and I keep my patio clean
Seems like an avid group of car repair enthusiasts

This video is a good reminder that we have to pay more attention to generating good employment here in the United States, in all of our industries and new industries as well. And not to forget we have people here in the USA living in problem situations. This is a good reminder we have to try to do better.
@matt: “…we” have to do better?
are you a frustrated grammarian with too much time on your hands, or is there an issue with what I said ?
Doesn't matter to generate new jobs, if people are to lazy to work or always blaming the others for them just being lazy, nasty, uneducated and having too many babies. Just so you know I am black, well educated and I grow up poor. Not any more, very middle class.❤
@@debrahunter6303 You make a point, that is true. My personal view however, is that it is best to look at employment as a function of greater business and economic activity - so gains in employment are beneficial from two standpoints: 1) delivering the benefit of more money and worthwhile activity for more people, and 2) as part of a package of more benefits that come with more economic activity.
The authorities of that state should do their job...picking up the trash twice a week, like in every city or town in this country!!
I've lived in many states...never had twice a week trash pickup. But...do you think people who live like this are going to pay their trash bill?
I wonder what the insides of their homes is like?
God, I remember when that area was beautiful; still got relatives there. I`m from 50 miles south in Brookhaven. Whole different world now.
So what really happened?
I remember my mother's words when I was little and news from Vietnam, the famine in Ethiopia or poverty would come on the TV screen, "Thank God we didn't come into the world THERE!!!"
Drove across the South in the 80s and got off Interstate 10 in Mississippi to find gas. I thought I'd seen poverty but Mississippi took the cake. It was hard to believe it was the U.S. A near naked woman was nursing a naked 3 year old on the porch of the dilapidated gas station I found. When the kid was done he jumped off her lap and ran off around the corner. Then this gal - wearing nothing but an oversized t-shirt (I could see her muff) - smiled at me with about half her teeth missing. For $5 I think I could have had any service she offered. I only had a few gallons in the tank but I stopped pumping and figured I could get far enough down the highway to get the hell out of Mississippi.
Wow, running away from a place just because you saw somebody dirt poor , inspiring.
@@KevinMittens I guess that's one interpretation. LOL.
Mane hell naw 😂😂😂

@@richmondwotters It was like something out of Deliverance. Only place in Mississippi I ever went. I'm sure there's nice places in the state but after that I didn't stick around to find out.
Was this area affected by the Pearl River flood in August 2022? Google maps shows a vastly different neighborhood from just a few years ago. The houses were in decent shape, there was green grass, and it was clean.
*been to so many places but never seen anything like that. ..UNBELIEVABLE*

This would make me lose it! There is no way I would ever commit to this "self-defeating" and "hopeless" lifestyle. No one in this community/neighborhood has the faith to believe that better is possible? I see so many possibilities, but I cannot force my vision on anyone🙏!
I was just there in Jackson MS last year Feb 2023 and being there felt good as I have not been there since 2015 but when I was there visiting my family (Dad, Uncles Aunts, Cousins) I was taken by how dirty the streets were and the shakes there just sitting there. My dad was disgusted of how life there has gotten a lot worse and nobody cares anymore in JackTown. It's literally like a war zone. I use to live there in my early teens because I'm half Mississippian but Caribbean-born. I now live in London UK 🇬🇧 & it did appreciate the UK more however I will always enjoy visiting Mississippi no matter how dirty it looks. I wish the politicians would make better moves for the capital as it is really bad there. I'll be back visiting Jackson sometime this year! ❤
I lived in Jackson in the previous century. It was never like this.
Lies…just cuz you didn’t live in these areas doesn’t mean they didn’t exist, 80s and 90s looked just as bad or worse cuz the crack epidemic was fresh and Jackson was epicenter
Was it better?
@CalosGonzalez-j4t It was clean. Neighborhoods were more or less divided along racial lines, but poor neighborhoods were usually mixed to some extent. There were black and white families both in our neighborhood. Less black than white, but we all got along fairly well. I have very fond memories of all of us out in the street playing in the thick white clouds of DDT when the city sent the trucks out to spray for mosquitoes. Man, playing in a big billowing cloud of DDT was great! The only thing better than that was swimming in the sewage canal. That sewage canal was the best!
this is what most of Oakland Ca. will look like in 10 - 20 years as people who can move away slowly clear out. leaving only druggies and criminals on welfare and food stamps. unemployable at any job.
Like the song says , There ain't no pride when you're trapped inside a slowly sinking ship ! Truly , truly sad to see . I grew up in Jackson , and that hurts to see .
I grewup in Mississippi....yes it might be poverty but my Mom made us pickup paper of the yard and Mow ...it was a family of 13 of us...but we still burned the thrash..👈🏾👈🏾💯💯
Yes, when you can't get out and you can't fix the leak. Just have to go down with the ship
I grew up very poor and it was 8 kids and my dad use to tell us all the time it do not matter where you live as long as you keep it clean.
It’s also kind of on the city for not razing those buildings that are destroyed. Oh that’s right, because the city only takes care of the rich part of the neighborhood/city.
Whites make only 15 percent of Jackson.
Aqui no Brazil existe bairros assim mais depende de cada pessoa fazer a sua parte manter o seu local limpo

its sad those houses are abandoned but at least there are some residents living there.

The other side of Mississippi we didn’t know about
All states have their run down neighborhoods . Go to Detroit , or Pittsburgh and ride around , and they are not down south .
Judging from the burned out buildings, piled up trash, pot holes, boarded up houses, lack of side walks, I see a municipality void of zoning, code enforcement, and public works. When the city don’t care, the residents don’t care. Keep in mind, most of residents are likely renters as well. I’m a neighborhood advocate, and we don’t allow this where I live. The people living there are not to blame, it’s the property owners, who don’t live there and look nothing like the people you see. The owners take advantage of those folk, and are only there to collect rent, -nothing else.
Tenants can clean up/tidy up their trash, can’t they?
@@franciscouderq1100 Absolutely. But when you pile trash up on the curb and it don't get picked up, then what?The city is supposed to do that even if the trash does not adhere to the rules. In that case, it is cleaned up and the home owner is billed. Same with the burned out houses. My town will give you a certain amount of time to repair or demolish. If you don't, they will and bill you. Low income areas don't get the same level of service because they are renters and are not organized. Homeowners have strong neighborhood associations and will demand that codes are enforced. This video shows me a city government in disarray.
Even if the owners don't live in some of the buildings the OCCUPANTS SHOULD HAVE PRIDE AND CLEAN THEIR SURROUNDINGS. IT MIGHT INSPIRE THE OWNERS TO DO THEIR DUTY
@@mblackman6627 I agree because that is what you and I would do, but you have to stop and put yourself in the shoes of a marginalized group. It is not just Americans, but marginalized people across the globe. If you have always been on the bottom tier of society, and have always been taken advantage of, you are likely not going to think in terms of bettering those around you, especially those who are profiting off your existence. Most neighborhoods filled with renters looks like crap. They are not invested. Put those same folk in their own homes and the outcome will be different.
You got all that right!
Im from south Carolina one of I'll hood they called trash pail rd was bad ppl didn't have electricity,it was bad but the city did fix it .this is sad 😢 hate seeing ppl live like this. Praying for this town.
I loved growing up in Jackson Mississippi my mother still lives there I moved to High point NC
I wonder how many of these residents actually vote or even care to register... At the end of the day, if you don't vote you can't complain.

For fun, find N. Mill Street where it intersects with Botnick Court and Leonard Street in North Jackson on Google Maps. Set the date of streetview images back to 2014 and see what this neighborhood looked like then compared to now. It's the same area that he covered at the beginning of the video. Still a poor neighborhood, but it was much cleaner, hardly a boarded-up vacant house, people had pride in their homes and landscaping. Hard to believe that one decade could do this to an area!
This is a complete failure of the local government, start condemnation proceedings and start clearing properties
Jackson Mississippi is the capital of Mississippi. Am sure there are neighborhoods that look better. I guess they only film the worst neighborhoods. But this is sad to see. I thought Jackson was better looking than this 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Isn’t that the capital?!?!😱
Like most democrat run capitals this isn't the only State capital that looks like this.
En América hay muchos pueblos del tercer mundo, Jackson Mississippi no es el único.
Hurricane season is not kind to Mississippi. The streets match Philly streets, for being narrow. Not many alleys.
I can guarantee this is one of the neighborhoods I lived in over 13 years ago before I moved back to to my home state. It didn't look this bad with the destroyed houses but one thing I always loved about Mississippi is everyone will speak you come up north and people act stank.
Thats right
Live in Tennessee But it hurts looking At. 😮😮 help them
What a charming neighborhood
Most of the time there are nice cars parked out front. Priorities, folks , priorities.
The home is likely owned by a slumlord.
Cute little cottages at one time.
I AM living in a third world country but have never seen anything like that.

I live here in Jackson Mississippi and I want to know why did you only go to those parts?! You have sooo many nicer areas and you chose to highlight these! Not to mention how you sped pass the newer homes in that area!! You should do the entire Jackson the next time you choose to do this!
Nice to see this American way of life….

I’m sure they asked for loans for repairs on their homes but were denied. They asked for pothole repair and the city never came. It’s more to it than y’all think
These people are judgemental, ignorant and don't want to do any better.

I lived in Jackson from the time of my birth in 1957 till I was fourteen years of age. My family was among some of the poorest there. The homes we rented were all old but were kept up to some degree. I at an early age used to travel far and wide by foot day or night. All that changed when the ethnic demographic changed. It didn't take long and the town of Jackson was in shambles businesses closed down, law enforcement afraid to go into certain areas after dark.
Isso sim são áreas pobres de verdade. Aqui no Brasil temos muitas assim.
