What about down river like Yazoo, Natchez Vicksburg and Carthage?
Yazoo City survives because of Delta land money folks who contribute to the commerce there
From Midnight to Louise to Satartia the rich plantation owners fund Yazoo City
Of course with 49 four lane out past Flora and Bentonia to Yazoo has Jackson. Commuters too
Natchez has tourism but looks like problems there to me and I was just there last summer
It does have Giles Island across the river with best whitetails in America
Vicksburg also has Jackson workers but has black issues too looks like to me when I’m there in a big way
Carthage borders on Piney Woods and Choctaw peeps and is more white
Not one of these towns though is anything close to the safe comfortable communities they were up till the late 80s
They all grew black populations and that’s just what it is
Blacks left the delta and black women despite their abortion proclivity still have more babies than whites
It’s like kudzu it takes over
This is the story anywhere in the cotton states black belt
Whites fuel the town and most blacks don’t work or work part time and collect the dole however
And don’t forget private schools
You have to do that too if you’re white or black and have money
Yazoo city is 82% black
Natchez is 60% black
Carthage 45% black
Vicksburg 70%
The Choctaw casino between Carthage and Philadelphia is really nice and the design is cool
One of the best Injun casinos I’ve seen anywhere just looking at it
