I AM A TRUCK DRIVER I'VE SEEN OTHER STATES THAT LOOK WORSE IN SOME PREDOMINANTLY WHITE TOWNS AND CITIES. PEOPLE LOVE SHOWING ONE SIDE OF POVERTY

I’ve seen this also. I’ve been all over this country and poor ppl act and live like poor ppl despite their color. The inordinate focus on black people comes from outlets like fox news and the media in general.
You're 100% right I'm I've been a homicide detective for 30 years worked all over the the country with a special homicide unit I've been everywhere but this is the difference the white towns are not violent even though it looks horrible and it's dirty and poor they're not killing each other

@@whitaker2062 nah bro, I live in a white area and they sure as hell “killing each other.” I don’t know what town you talking about but they live around each other so it makes sense that they would kill each other.
Wait till dark you will find the middle, upper, rich white men looking for black women. The white women are there. Just hidden. Some people are happy living this way. They haven't been taught any different. Following family foot steps. Then they are saving money. Helping MR CHARLIE PAY TAXES, PUT KIDS THRU SCHOOL, AND FREE HIS DEBT LOAD. ITS SLAVE SHANTY AND HE ENJOY BEING THE MODERN DAY SLAVE OWNER.
Both of my parents are from here. Migrated to Boston in the seventies and did VERY well fit themselves. Living like this is a mindset. You literally just have to know “I AM better than this, and CAN do better than this”
Yes, I agree. If you keep doing the same thing, you gonna get the same results. I left Greenville over 40 years ago, the best decision I could have made for me and our two children.
Im from California and I drove trough Mississippi. Gas was super cheap literally half the price here in California and I stopped at a little corner store and they sold a fire meal called the hot mess turkey rice cheese jalapeño man it the best I got them on my navigation 🌟 I'll be back met a cool brother at a gas station we had a smoke 🚬 before I got back on the road. Good people down south 🫡
Be Kind there could be a lot of things at play here. Mental Health, not enough high paying jobs in the area, health issues, etc. If you can’t help, don’t put ppl living situations down, don’t laugh nor pick Just for likes and views. Please while you riding through stop hand out food baskets. Give back to disenfranchised communities, show support and love to those who have less than you! God bless you all and stay safe!
I had a couple of guys from NYC and New Jersey visit Greenwood one day and one of them said that when they get back to NYC, they don't wanna hear NOTHING from nobody talking about the projects after riding through Greenwood.
I agree. I was in Greenville about three years ago and ran out of medication and had to drive to Greenwood to pick it up, I was very surprised what I saw, it was beautiful, and it looked nothing like what I remember when I lived there. It looked very nice, we even stopped and had lunch, I don't think things would have changed that drastically in a few years.
@@chakahair1 Hi, no, I do know recall and millers. I left Greenville in 1985 and after my mother passed over 20 years ago, I seldom go back there. I still have family in Greenville and Jackson. I don't know where Ackerman is, I was actually born in Grace, MS about 30 minutes outside of Greenville.
I pray you get out soon. I am from Greenville and live in Texas now, left there over 49 years ago. I was just there in September and could not get out fast enough, good luck. Trust God and He will take care of you. My husband and I struggled a while after moving here but if you could see us now and our two children. College degrees married and houses with pools in the backyard. It is possible with hard work, go for it!
This is what happens when this nation is built on racist, segregation, and hatred. Give people decent jobs with decent wages and ownership in their communities, then just maybe you wouldn’t feel compelled to drive up and down neighborhoods trying to view these towns in such a Bad light
I grew up in Greenwood and my mother grew up there as well. We relocated, however, some of my best memories are of living there. The whole city does not look like this. It’s only a section, just like many places. Now while there surely is poverty, when I tell you the people will make sure you are taken care of. I go at least once a year. It’s my roots, and generations of my family were born and raised there. I’m proud of where I’m from. It lets me know that I can overcome ANYTHING! Many of my playmates are now doctors, lawyers, entrepreneurs, Directors you name it. It teaches you how to live in tough times, how to know how to survive, and how to still have compassion.
This is a crying shame!!! There are certain things you can not blame on others. People who live in these communities are responsible for the upkeep of their property. The city government is also responsible for the property management. 😢😢😢😢😢
It's hard to tell out of all those towns in Mississippi which ones are the worst. Greenwood, MS is probably the poorest. Jackson is probably the most violent. The delta region in Mississippi, Arkansas and Louisana are some of the most poverty strickened places in America. Only Indian Reservations are worse. I love reading the comments section from people who live in these towns so you can a real statement from those who are living it day by day.
@@uuuultra Crime isn't everything. People live in cities all over the country that have crime. Mind your own business, do what you do on a daily basis, and you won't have an issue. If yo'ure that concerned, get a complete security system for your home, gates for your windows and doors and you'll be more protected than someone who doesn't do those things.
@@Brotherken1234do Huntsville, Alabama. Still pretty cheap compared to the national average. Not too much serious crime there. Just don’t go to Montgomery or Birmingham.
@@DisabilityExamsIf daddy government can’t help, then why did he create? #Udumazz’ lol. How in the hell can you blame the people who don’t control the laws and money, and act as if they created poverty. Do yourself a favor, go get educated on truth and history
So daddy should send someone out to clean their yard and mow their lawn? Wash the windows and plant flowers for them? Is this what your saying? I live in an apt. Id love to have a little yard to take care of!
@@evamartin1787 No, daddy should have not married your auntie, and therefore.. your comments would be more intelligent. You’re bringing up cleaning yards, when the damn point of the topic is entire communities abandoned by leaders. Not only abandoned, but deliberately poisoned with drugs, food deserts, loan denial, housing denial, lack of funding, and everything else. Can you name the other people you can compare this scenario too? That has clean yards and nice houses? …. I’ll wait
@@evamartin1787 Oh.. you mean like how Methville, USA is clean? Or what about Trailer Park, USA? What about Appalachia … I heard the opioids make them clean their yards?
This video only showed the worst part of Jackson. There are some nice part of the city. I have visited this city a many of times and know that all of it is not like this
Its just cheap housing, why call them "Slave houses"? Whats more sad is how many black communities across America are dilapidated and its a major cultural problem.
@@tovstehDumDum, no… they’re slave shacks. Same design. Learn your history. A cultural problem? 😂.. Yeah, you’re right, and who caused it? You don’t sound too bright
Many towns and cities in the USA is beginning to look like this. Many industries were shipped offshore and CEO'S were rewarded with big salaries, so look at the misery. Different types of jobs are not created fast enough to keep up with employment.
Some areas are not that bad but yes, it does. I was in Greenville and Jackson this past September, Greenville, I couldn't get out of there fast enough lol!
One thing you notice in all of these worn-down neighborhoods is that there is always a church with a steeple in the middle of it that offers no help or solutions to any of this!
It's the bible belt. They think the lord will solve all of their problems, at least that is the impression that I get when speaking with relatives down there. I've been to Jackson several times and I never seen this part. My people live in Presidential Hills. It was beautiful there.
I was born and raised in Moss point Mississippi I moved away 25 years ago to better myself and see the world best decision I ever made in my life I only go back to visit its worser now then when I first left 🥺
I’m from Moss Point Left 12 years ago My baby has a full ride D1 school Football scholarship My oldest is about to be a nurse No real opportunities It’s an energy there that is not good!
I was raised in Jackson. It wasn't run down in. The 70's. It was progressive. I left in 1980, the best decision I could've made. My sister, a RN still lives there and tells me about the bad water. Amazing how they gave Bret Favre all that money when the water system needs fixing. But politicians have always stolen taxpayer money and never spent it where it was supposed to go.
@@uuuultra shit to work ... Some of them people work... Yeah I'm getting all these assumptions off of somebody riding down the street... Yeah something else on this internet
I’m confused as to why would he ride through our city’s and only show the horrible areas..?!? That doesn’t make up for wtf we are as a city and people, get serious!!! Everywhere you go in life you will run into HORRIBLE THINGS…!
I just commented that! I've visited Greenwood a couple of times and it didn't look like that at all. I guess he just goes to the heavily poverty stricken areas.
Lived there for two years until I couldn't take the housing conditions anymore and came back home. Most are kind hearted people that will offer a helping hand without even asking

I was there in September and my godchildren said yes, it is fixed or better. I didn't trust it, only ate in Vicksburg or Monroe, and I had my own bottled water, lol!
No, it doesn't, I am not sure where he was driving through but I was just there in Jackson and Greenville this past September. It looked bad but not like this.
Only picked out the areas that are predominantly black, there are white areas that are just as bad and worst, but what do you expect from a state where racist MAGA REPUBLICANS are in charge
Exactly. I got me some land I. The country for the taxes thay was owed on it and pay maybe 200$ year in taxes on it. I habe a small cabin on it . The only thing that cost me alot was the water well. But now I'm rent free when my cabin is paid off . Which won't be long. And can't no body tell me what to do on my own land.
Theres no reason this town looks like a dump all those people can clean up there yards and fix things, but they choose not to so this is how they choose to live
Back in the day a lot of young people moved up north to Chicago , Detroit to escape Mississippi. As a child I heard them say that you can’t pay them to move back to Mississippi because it was never going to change. Looks like they were right unfortunately 😳😳
Whole United States looks like this,drugs and no jobs,along with systematic racism and breaking up the black family,replacing it with single parent homes,so when you don't know it took years for those Cities to look like that and I grew up one street over from Clay Street in Greenville Ms. South side of town ,your town would be like this if you had Senator Benny Thompson in office over 30 years and all these Black Mayor's who just look out for their friends and a School district is the worst in the United States.they doing the best they can with nothing to work with. You see what you would do with no jobs,no money,no leadership,gangs and drugs everywhere.
And what do you do with it when you pick it up? Y'all talking about people who are not in charge of this crap the burned out buildings, abandoned run down houses, neglected properties, trash pickup. Stop blaming the residents it's the local officials, city,county and state!!!!
You know what funny the people have nice ass looking car's 🚗 nice and clean 🫧 what get me is they don't try to make their houses 🏠 look good and put energy in making houses as good as their car's 🚗
This is not all of Mississippi! I was born in Mississippi, graduated from Mississippi State University! I can't believe this video, I have never seen places like this before 😮 This is so sad, how can this be a red State 😔 😢
I was born in 1957 Columbus Mississippi. As a lone soul, you will be forced to break 💔 the chains ⛓️ of what holds you back; it is a human condition brought unto himself by being disobedient to the Creator.
Do these folks never get tired of being tired if there situation? Like are they not tired of waiting for hand out that will never come? No body can save yall but yourself
Thats what i was wondering. But if you live in a neighborhood like that and work on your house and your life, you are probably have problems with others. Robbers, thieves and i would assume vandalism. I dont think there is much room for a better living
In my opinion, the city Governor's and Mayors need to take full responsibility after people pay their taxes and vote only to be blindsided and forgotten about! Shameful!
These towns must not any city counsel or politicians to help improve the living conditions, the people need to go to town hall meetings, and see if they can get some help to come to the communities ❣️
Looks like this video shows only the depleted side of the town. When I watch the Belle reality show you don’t see this at all . Just like any city you go in they always gonna have the bad side .
It is not hard for neighbors to pick up around their neighborhood and home. As a kid my parents would make us pick up trash, in our yard and help sweep the alley once a month. My sisters and I would complain that we did not drop the trash, my dad would respond this is where you live. Living in a low income area is no excuse for not fighting for your neighborhood.
You did only go through the more rough areas. Like every city don't have a rough area. Mississippi is not all bad but then again when there is no funding given and the political situation is garbage, what can we do??? 🤦🏽♀️
This happened because their ancestors didn’t go west of the Mississippi River to Oklahoma’s Mostvof these people are Choctaw and other indigenous tribes who have lost their recognition to their native tribes. 😢😢y’all should have left long ago

There's a few places like this in North Carolina. Some what depressing 😢😢
Where??
The whole city of Jackson does not look like this. There are some beautiful suburban areas.
Wow my moms from yazoo city and my dads from greenville. I haven't been back since i was a kid. Man things have definitely changed, smh.
Acres of land cost $250 a year in taxes.. In cities you pay 1500 for rent living in a box
Exactly. I got me some land I. The country for the taxes thay was owed on it and pay maybe 200$ year in taxes on it. I habe a small cabin on it . The only thing that cost me alot was the water well. But now I'm rent free when my cabin is paid off . Which won't be long. And can't no body tell me what to do on my own land.
@ABSF49 be blessed in whatever you do..
@@ABSF49bury some bodies
Theres no reason this town looks like a dump all those people can clean up there yards and fix things, but they choose not to so this is how they choose to live
You have no clue as to what ( those) people are to do. Keep your dumb comments to yourself
Back in the day a lot of young people moved up north to Chicago , Detroit to escape Mississippi. As a child I heard them say that you can’t pay them to move back to Mississippi because it was never going to change. Looks like they were right unfortunately 😳😳
Yep, my four older siblings did, my husband and I moved to Texas and never looked back. We were from Greenville.
@ we are in Dallas now 🤣🤣
Mississippi has not changed one bit... And will probably NEVER change. Sad
With exception of the cars this reminds me a lot of some of the cities in West Africa.
Truly shocking 😮!!
Whole United States looks like this,drugs and no jobs,along with systematic racism and breaking up the black family,replacing it with single parent homes,so when you don't know it took years for those Cities to look like that and I grew up one street over from Clay Street in Greenville Ms. South side of town ,your town would be like this if you had Senator Benny Thompson in office over 30 years and all these Black Mayor's who just look out for their friends and a School district is the worst in the United States.they doing the best they can with nothing to work with. You see what you would do with no jobs,no money,no leadership,gangs and drugs everywhere.
Single mothers are not responsible for this. Stop blaming them.
@Imissyoulou too bad you don't understand what I mean it says a lot
Wrap man
Nope can’t blame it on racism we strives through segregation,this is a family unit problem
At least pick up the damn trash u don't have to live in that type of environment
“There have been multiple instances of trash collection issues in Mississippi towns, including Jackson and Terry”!
And what do you do with it when you pick it up? Y'all talking about people who are not in charge of this crap the burned out buildings, abandoned run down houses, neglected properties, trash pickup. Stop blaming the residents it's the local officials, city,county and state!!!!
@roberthamilton3579 just because u live around it doesn't mean u can't pick the trash up
That is so sad how people in the community don’t come together and keep it clean so sad
All of them look exactly the same I find that very interesting misssippi baltimore and philly running neck and neck for worse communities in the USA
May I ask what year was this filmed 💯
This is slavery 10.0 truly sad
You know what funny the people have nice ass looking car's 🚗 nice and clean 🫧 what get me is they don't try to make their houses 🏠 look good and put energy in making houses as good as their car's 🚗
Called black
This is not all of Mississippi! I was born in Mississippi, graduated from Mississippi State University! I can't believe this video, I have never seen places like this before 😮 This is so sad, how can this be a red State 😔 😢
Watching as a Brit, i can't believe what im seeing. Yeah, we have some iffy places in the UK but not by this standard. These people deserve better!
Have you seen pictures or videos of Detroit? It looks like a war zone.
Britain is the size of NJ.
The U.S is bigger than all of Europe combined
@Unoriginalswine how exactly does that matter?
If I had to live anywhere shown here, I would have to be on medication for depression
A I'm from Jackson and y'all showing old neighbors hoods
I don't know where he pulled those neighborhoods from. I was just there in Jackson and Greenville in September, never saw that.
@@barbarapeller big facts
I think I need to bring my son to these towns so he can see how good he lives.
One wrong turn from something popping off
Why drive through worst areas? Show different areas to. Goodness.
I've visited Mississippi a couple of times and all of Greenwood does not look like that!!!
Yes 💯
😊😊😊 Love me some Mississippi women they the most warm hearted young ladies with lots to offer. Beautiful and alive with joy.
As for the cars I don't see an extravagant one n of they need a dependant way to work and other important errands
this literally looks and feels like one of my nightmares or Haiti
My god
why wood anyone stay it’s like the 60’s
People have to want better for themselves.
I was born in 1957 Columbus Mississippi. As a lone soul, you will be forced to break 💔 the chains ⛓️ of what holds you back; it is a human condition brought unto himself by being disobedient to the Creator.
Charlie you keep going down them narrow one way streets you gon get a surprise
If they just paint the houses and buildings and clean up the streets and yard it would look totally different
Yup wow
Its like that here in Memphis; the riots after the King assasination is one of the main causes (aka, they tore up their own)
Do these folks never get tired of being tired if there situation? Like are they not tired of waiting for hand out that will never come? No body can save yall but yourself
Thats what i was wondering. But if you live in a neighborhood like that and work on your house and your life, you are probably have problems with others. Robbers, thieves and i would assume vandalism. I dont think there is much room for a better living
it's easier to blame the white ppl for their misery
Ok
In my opinion, the city Governor's and Mayors need to take full responsibility after people pay their taxes and vote only to be blindsided and forgotten about! Shameful!
These towns must not any city counsel or politicians to help improve the living conditions, the people need to go to town hall meetings, and see if they can get some help to come to the communities ❣️
Reminds me of East st Louis scary as hell
I'd be looking for the interstate sign
My grandparents mom from there. I visited in 1957/58 my grandfather said hood bye to MS then and never went back. Sad
What happened to Jackson? Used to live there. That was 40 years ago. Used to be a nice place.
Looks like this video shows only the depleted side of the town.
When I watch the Belle reality show you don’t see this at all .
Just like any city you go in they always gonna have the bad side .
God remember our nation/race🙏🏾
Why are you showing this not all of Mississippi looks like this I guarantee that where you live has some of the same issues
I’m from Texas n my bd is frm Jackson I love Ms n Memphis n I have family from tennesse!
It is not hard for neighbors to pick up around their neighborhood and home. As a kid my parents would make us pick up trash, in our yard and help sweep the alley once a month. My sisters and I would complain that we did not drop the trash, my dad would respond this is where you live. Living in a low income area is no excuse for not fighting for your neighborhood.
You did only go through the more rough areas. Like every city don't have a rough area. Mississippi is not all bad but then again when there is no funding given and the political situation is garbage, what can we do??? 🤦🏽♀️
Dope content 💯
R u sure this wasn't filmed in Nigeria ?
THIS IS TERRIBLE!!!!
OMG. THE OPPRESSION. THE RACISM THE POVERTY. THE LACK OF...
The thanks for sharing 😊
Does anyone know which part of the "Wrong Turn" movies this is?!
Greenville MS is still back in the days. Low wages and no self esteem to get out to seek better, hotels run down too
It's your community clean it up ! 🤔
No government funding like wyt neighborhoods have funding, but the still gotta pay taxes to take care of wyt communities
That's to much like work
I hate how yall watch stuff ONLY to judge aint gone help aint trying to help just something new to speak on.... God bless us all🙌🙏♥️
Watching this from Moscow Russia makes me realize that current live conditions ain't that bad
The worst parts of United States are a lot badder than the worst parts of Russia
Jackson look nice on i55 north of i20 around mile marker 92 to Madison
This is so sad. Where are the politicians and etc for this State , the people, and the cities? This is truly sad. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
This happened because their ancestors didn’t go west of the Mississippi River to Oklahoma’s Mostvof these people are Choctaw and other indigenous tribes who have lost their recognition to their native tribes. 😢😢y’all should have left long ago
Doesn't matter what areas look the worse, its about unity and fixing it.
Thanks for the video can they see your camera do you hide it?
