From everything I have read about Port Gibson,
it seems that the races live almost exclusively
among their own.
I used to search the real estate listings,
and invariably, the grand, old homes seemed
to be on one side (or portion) of the town and,
are rarely mixed in with other lesser grand homes,
which is NOT the case in Vicksburg for example.

parts of Mississippi are majority black....Jackson and the Delta (some counties are 90% black) and probably Port Gibson and Natchez.....the Colombus black loam belt as well.
the lower third and the northeast are the "whitest" mainly because the plantation economy never took hold much
Mississippi is fairly segregated but more by money than race now which still gives the appearance of racial segregation by default obviously.
I hate to say it but aside from the Coast and Tupelo and Madison and Rankin counties and perhaps Hattiesburg and Oxford, the rest of the state has suffered serious economic and social decline.
I still love it though and could live there were I not bound by my many obligations here in the sortofSouth.
I would get 300% more for my money and I don't mind being armed....that's old hat for me considering where all I've lived.

I know that the majority of US Jews are hostile to Christianity.
You "know" this, eh? Prove it.
***
I know that most Palestinians are hostile toward Jews based on what I've learned from my eyes and ears. I don't need a documented consensus.
--
You imply "all Jews" rather than most American Jews.
YOU said "most Jews". Most means "more than half". Prove that "most Jews wish doom upon Christianity".
You can't, of course, because it is a lie.
***
I never could figure out why Jews vote for rats but a couple things that really struck me as clues in the last few years:
The Ashcroft confirmation hearings where one Jewish Senator after another scowled at him while denigrating his Christianity flat out saying he is unqualified for the position because his beliefs were too strong.
The scowling at Mel Gibson with "how dare you make a movie based on the new testament".
There is an extreme hatred/fear of Christians and Christianity among most American Jews that never really becomes obvious until something or someone Christian threatens to bubble up to the mainstream.
That much is fact. I'm sure the reasons for it are more complex than I can guess at. It is ironic that if Christianity met the doom that most Jews wish for it that their own doom would swiftly follow.
Are you okay with the clearly made assertion that most "American Jews" are hostile toward Christianity but have a problem with "most Jews". Only an imbecile or deceiver could accuse me of speaking for Judaism in it's entirety based on the context of my comments. Are you a deceiver or an imbecile? Be aware that if you attempt to take my comments out of context that I will add the context in my reply.

Well, nice to see you.
I remembered you "stay" in Port Gibson,
but couldn;t recall your screen name.
Are you familiar with the Windsor Ruins?
Do you "stay" in one of the old grand mansions?

I have seen them over the years. You know how it is when you live close to something you appreciate it least.
"Do you "stay" in one of the old grand mansions? "
No where I stay is just old that's all
"Stay" around them long enough and you will talk like them too.

You said "most Jews wish doom upon Christianity" and now, "the majority of US Jews are hostile to Christianity". I'm asking for your proof that "most Jews" / "the majority of US Jews" hold these views. NOT "ALL". "MOST"/"THE MAJORITY". Got it?
Be aware that if you attempt to take my comments out of context that I will add the context in my reply.
How about just providing the proof to substantiate your assertions?

Oh dear God, how can they actually vote for this man? What is the matter with people? Don't they ever hear anything besides democrat talking points? This is so very sad to me, as their best interests are not in Kerry's mind or policies.

Proof positive that the American jew doesn't care a whit about their homeland. Show me the liberal money baby and I'll vote for it......Funny, I'd imagine that most American Jews consider America to be their "homeland." I know for a fact that this one does, and I'd hazzard a guess that most of the other Jews on FR do as well.

Ahh, yes..."for" instead of "about"...an opportunity for you to play dumb. Would you require documented proof that the majority of Palestinians are hostile toward Jews? I've noticed that you avoid dealing with that question.
You have already suggested that I shouldn't trust my eyes and ears in determining what the majority of American Jews believe by what I see and hear from the Jews that are voiced in the mainstream media. I suspect that you'd tell me that when I witnessed one Jewish senator after another scowling at John Ashcroft during his confirmation hearings that I shouldn't consider that as the views of the majority of Jewish Americans. You probably wouldn't want me to consider the title of the thread or look at past voting history to determine how the majority of American Jews feel about Christianity.
You'd have me take your word for it that most American Jews aren't hostile toward Christianity based on....well....you won't and can't offer any evidence to support your claim.
What percent of Jewish Americans do you feel are hostile toward Christianity?

Would you require documented proof that the majority of Palestinians are hostile toward Jews? If it were presented as someone's opinion or impression, no. If it were presented as FACT, yes.
But then, truth matters to me.

YOU are the one who came on this thread making assertions. YOU back them up. It is not incumbent upon me to refute you. Quit playing your little spinning games and stop avoiding the issue. If your assertion is so baseless, so unsupportable, then withdraw it. Otherwise, lay out your evidence.
What percent of Jewish Americans do you feel are hostile toward Christianity?
I don't know.
YOU'VE said "the majority".
Quit trying to play diversion games and back up your assertion with some evidence.
