This vlog don't look like the 1960's, I grew up in Mississippi in the 1960's, during that time era the older generations would never litter their properties with debris scattered everywhere, they took pride in their communities.
They are not stuck in the 60's. Today, there are places like this all over the United States. The ones living in the Appalachian Mountains around West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, etc. are just as poor as this place and much more dirty. And some of the big cities are in the same conditions, if not worst.
Coincidentally, all of those areas are dominated by conservative Republicans. It's almost like that has something to do with why they are poor...hmm...
I live in Tennessee and you wouldn't believe what I've seen .it's super shocking .like there is a place near Lexington TN and I simply can't believe someone lives there .I can't
I WAS THINKING THIS VERY SAME THING WHILE WALKING IN THE WEST END IN ATLANTA, GA . I WAS JUST LOOKING AT ALL THE TRASH IN A BLACK AREA ON THE STREETS..
It's peaceful it's quiet but the one thing I dislike is the fact that no 1's picking up after themselves. The community doesn't have to look Trash just because you're poor.
Say what you want but, I visited a friend there stayed for a week some good down home black people there. Made me love the south even more being from ATL. But there's mad corruption there and racism on the state level.
Believe it or not, it’s people that love living out there! I was born in Ms. Grew up in MD and now live in AZ. I have family that love this environment, because it’s easy to survive and get by. The streets don’t scare everyone

I went there with my father in 1985 to visit his friend in the military. When I first saw the houses, all I remembered is what I saw, small houses on cinder blocks! I grew up in Chicago in the Beverly area, I'm used to big houses with yards and driveways. My immediate thought was that these houses don't have an upstairs or a basement... I had never seen or been in a house that size. People had newer cars, that was it!
No it's not easy to live there. It's incredibly difficult. No good infrastructure, no good medical care, no public transit, barely any social services. It is hell on earth.
My guess is lot of renters and people living in parents or grandparents homes. There are programs that could do housing replacement but residents must provide proof of ownership. You get five or six heirs and you have a nightmare trying to get signatures and paperwork in order. Funds are federal so the residents have paid into the federal tax pot so they are entitled to the programs. We don’t all pay the same taxes but we all pay taxes. Also, the dumping is probably done by somebody that don’t even live in the neighborhood they just dump there because they know residents won’t call code enforcement. Illegal dumping happens in most neighborhoods. The litter could be taken care of by the residents. Maybe the city council person for this area could do a neighborhood clean-up. Bottom line: the council rep needs to get involved.
My mother came from Greenwood Mississippi, and I have never visited for sure. I am going to visit now I love to go there. I was born in 1953. My mother was in Chicago by then,
Mississippi was gutted by the mechanization of agriculture and the great flow north to better lives. Far from major highways, little industry - or incentive to locate a plant there. What corporate executive wants to live in the Delta?
Is the entire town completely poverty stricken? I have never seen a town in this condition, so sad. It looks as if there are no jobs of any kind in that town.
Not everybody wants a jobs, some people prefer to hustle, remember most of the people over there, own their own homes, so it is cheap to be there, some still live with parents or grandparents since the homes are usually passed on from one generation to another, as you can see some homes were burn out because the people did not have homeowners insurance, so all they got to pay is the yearly property tax which is low and utility like electric and water....but they do get money, so like 1000 month is decent....unlike a 9 to 5 working person having to pay 1500 rent with other bills......people out there are laid back, they aint a part of the rat race, they have home and cars and their kids, so to them they are living the American dream, it might be fancy for some but it is sufficient for them......
Family from there but I’m so glad my mom got out and moved to Nashville by the time I was born people deadass literally are stucked there physically and mindset it’s ppl down there that never been outside of Mississippi sad 💯
My grandpa was born In 1946 From greenwood went to chicago & Then St louis In the 80's & now a whole new generation Living in st louis cause of him If he wouldve stayed there wouldve been Our Home crazy
This is Baptist Town, I think.....About 3 minutes in you can see the roadside marker commemorating where "Crossroads" blues legend Robert Johnson is believed to have died sometime after playing nearby. Morgan Freeman grew up there too.
Everywhere is deteriorating in America. Add immigrants from poorer countries, some of whom we don’t even know are criminals and in about 20-30 years our country will be literally no better than Mexico. The cartels already infiltrated our country years ago. A lot of cartels own businesses as fronts for their operations such as tired shops that they’re stuffing tires with bricks ! At this rate our country is going, it’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when !
I really thought I was about to watch a video on modern day segregation when I saw Mississippi and 60s lol. But around the 6 minute mark, it does look like they're having a nice family/neighborhood gathering. I'm from the Northeast. I avoid social engagement with my neighbors beyond "hello". Not boasting about that, it's just the way it is...
@@VOOODOOO37 I’ll say hi, but that’s about it. I have a neighbor who knows everyone’s business on this block and up the street, so I intentionally do not say more than hello to her. I’m polite, but I’m not standing on the front curb, talking about the weather and inflating grocery prices all day.
Born and raised in New York state and now live in the western Nebraska panhandle near the Wyoming line. Small town and I have a few of my neighbor's phone numbers and we are always socially interacting. Constant dinner invites and exchanging food, favors, helping out. One travels a lot and I have the key to their house so I can bring in the mail and watch over the place. Lots of texting as well. But this is small town Nebraska, it the way they do it here.
I was recently in Greenwood and this section of the town accounts for less than 20%. This guy drove to the worst area for the clicks unfortunately. Every city has a similar section Most of the city of Greenwood is filled with LARGE historic homes.
Just being honest it's very saddening to see it look so run down it's not as bad as a couple places but they can actually make a difference by pulling together and make the community look more respect to live there.
@lorrainedawson 6824: "Just being honest.." and blind to the good life there. Throughout the video all the streets lawns and areas around the area spotless, no candy wrappers and other snakes. Low wages don't spoil the good moral values. Furthermore, you're the kind of person that intentionally looks for anything that looks sad just so you can make comment on. Just ignore all the good stuff.
Why would they do that those people don’t care about that they want a hand out that’s poverty welfare ghetto uneducated ignorant that’s what that is the city or county will half to clean that up
What does this tell us? Its not about opression. Its about the unwillingness to strive to do better. These residents wont even cut the grass or clean up the trash in their own yard. What else do they have to do? Nothing but cash that monthly check. Ih yeah, they dint even have to do that any more. It goes straight onto their card.
I am certain that it looked much better in the 1960’s. Absolute third world. You can be poor and still be neat, clean and have pride in yourself and where you live. This is a culture that has hit rock bottom.
Well look where you at. Charli boi I ❤ what you do because you go in the trenches no mans land and get them interviews and the scenery💯 ❤❤🥰 🚘 God bless and keep them never been and never wanna go and this coming from somebody that was born in raised in the hood so
Mississippi looked much better in the 60’s . Much cleaner. Both my parents are from Mississippi. I spent lots of summers on the Delta as a child. I moved to the south Memphis , in 2002 relocated home the Midwest in 2008, I miss it.😞 I have family in greenwood as well, my last visit was 2008. Oh yes I almost forgot I lived in Meridian Mississippi in the 80’s military day. I miss the South.
I'd rather see neighbors outside washing their car, grilling out, kids playing. I like to see life! I hate a dead, boring neighborhood, no children, neighbors don't speak, better not need a slice of bread, gotta go to the store smh
Greenwood Mississippi where Emmit Till was killed. I went there years ago before I knew that's where he got killed and that town gave me the eariest feeling. We weren't in this part we were over where the nicer homes are. So when I found out about Emmit Till I said that's why my spirit was uneasy there.
And this! Is exactly why we need those reparations! We deserve those reparations! To rebuild our neighborhoods, be given the opportunities to gentrify our own.
A big manufacturing company needs to set up shop and create jobs for our fellow Americans instead of employing the Chinese/Tiwanese. It can be done. Plenty of workers, they just need opportunities
In the heeeaat of the night I got trooouuublee oh but hooold on n wont be long if you be strong and u be alright..in da heat of the night.. in the heeeeeat of the niiiiiiiiight
Poor whites receive more welfare than poor blacks. In fact, poor MS white neighborhoods get among the MOST in welfare benefits in the entire country. MS takes more from welfare than they spend. MS runs on a deficit.
This is not representative of all of Greenwood, but a large section of it unfortunately. The Mississippi Delta suffers from not-so benign neglect from the powers that be in this state.
Hard to get out the city man. I have my welding cert. & I can’t find No jobs in the city there’s nothing but fast foods jobs they want us to fail only big companies Milwaukee tools & Walmart no jobs we can’t eat
Everyone of the occupied homes had a satellite dish and a 200 inch big screen TV no doubt. What they pay for satellite for a month they could paint the house. But that's not their priority.
An absolute dump of a place, but with several fancy cars around. I wonder what type of trade the owners are plying? Three guesses. Answers on a postcard.

You can be poor and still live with dignity. At least pick up the garbage around your house.

I agree
So many trash cans that appear empty.... The trash is in the yards. Why don't they pick it up?
Its places like Greenwood all over the rural south and in the Appalachians. Hell a lot of the cities are deteriorating in America too.
Western PA, South Jersey, some parts of MD, VA, OH, IN and IL look like this too.
