Jackson is my hometown

It is a case study of how it goes in the south under black rule

A city 85% black with one affluent white pocket left in the northeast

Surrounded by middle to upper middle class white towns

Totals population around 600,000 metro

City proper has lost around 20% population and over half terrain is abandoned to semi abandoned ghetto

It is ironically the real Lost Cause

As much as NeoYankees love to lecture this is much more about race and culture than political party

Not that they care...they always know better

Jackson was 75% white and socially conservative Democrat till 25 years ago and was a safe decent place to grow up

It may now arguably be inside the city limits Americas most unsafe town

Its still home to me

The white rings are quite nice but the blacks are moving outward

First will come the reasonable but then the trash follows and pretty soon

Whites move yet again

This happening there now in Clinton and is a fait accompli in Pearl.....Pearl was never great but was blue collar white and safe

Clinton however is quite antebellum charming

Say goodbye

I lived in MS many years and have been to Jackson several times in the mid 70’s and you could see it starting to turn even then. Sad situation. Best of luck and stay safe.

Exactly. This is yet another step in the leftward drift-or is it a march now-of "conservatism" towards the left. America is not and never was, in the best of it, merely a "propositional" nation. Those propisitions came from, and were suited to, a unique culture. There were even differences within that culture, which could have been resolved if Puritanism-Unitarianism-Progressivism/Secular "Humanism" didn't need to force its own creed upon all.

Now there is a vacuum of faith, people are looking for "salvation", and are ripe for the coming false messiah.
