@@colinvanderross5825I can remember my Grandmother almost 70 years ago on her hands and knees scrubbing her old wooden floors by hand..with a bar of soap and sharing....just because you are poor their is absolutely no reason to be dirty. She scrubbed her Clothes (only 4 dresses in her closest) on a wash board in her kitchen sink. Living in the South in the 50s and 60s I can attest even the vast majority of African Americans Homes were wooden shacks without air-conditioning or furnaces but they were tidy inside and out. No trash in their yards and had the most beautiful flowers and huge Gardens.
I was just there in Jackson MS last year Feb 2023 and being there felt good as I have not been there since 2015 but when I was there visiting my family (Dad, Uncles Aunts, Cousins) I was taken by how dirty the streets were and the shakes there just sitting there. My dad was disgusted of how life there has gotten a lot worse and nobody cares anymore in JackTown. It's literally like a war zone. I use to live there in my early teens because I'm half Mississippian but Caribbean-born. I now live in London UK 🇬🇧 & it did appreciate the UK more however I will always enjoy visiting Mississippi no matter how dirty it looks. I wish the politicians would make better moves for the capital as it is really bad there. I'll be back visiting Jackson sometime this year! ❤
Jackson Mississippi is the capital of Mississippi. Am sure there are neighborhoods that look better. I guess they only film the worst neighborhoods. But this is sad to see. I thought Jackson was better looking than this 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

I think you need to come up with two categories for worst "Hoods." 1) Worst hoods with a yard. 2) Worst hoods with no yard. I still think Philly, Baltimore, Camden, NJ and Paterson, NJ are worse because they have no yards. Just a thought.
This is what modern day Democracy gets you, not the Democracy of the 1940's and 50's, this is the result of 60's and forward Democracy, it's a result of removing the family core and responsibility of people to take ownership of their lives and their neighborhood, when I was kid in the 70's and we walked by a piece of garbage on the side of the road, my father would say, " pick that up", we were poor, but we weren't lazy, we just understood, if we didn't pick it up, nobody else would, it's a different way of thinking today, today's thinking is," I didn't put it there". And we call this progress?

It's pretty understandable, it takes an expert to maintain the structure of a house. but you can reasonably buy a fresh car Also a moving car is how you get to work, so I could see that being higher priority.
There is no excuse for the amount of trash in these neighborhoods.I grew up in a poor neighborhood. Every Saturday the entire block cleaned the street.

My parents grew up during the Great Depression. They were poor; their parents were poor. My mother's parents lost a four-year-old son to a bowel obstruction. My father's parents lost six children to a variety of illnesses. No health insurance. Both families were poor. HOWEVER, they never lived in conditions like these. You can be poor, but you don't make a shithouse of your surroundings. That's a personal choice. These people have no pride of place or surroundings. No amount of money is going to fix bad attitudes and acutely disgusting conditions. And if you put these people someplace else, they'll do the same damn thing with their residence.
I helped rebuild new houses in areas like this in the 80s and 90s. It amazes me how filthy the new houses were after just 6 months,to a year. I grew up very poor, but never filthy. It becomes a way of life for these people.

I don’t know if that’s true, but what is true is my mother kept that house immaculate. Both inside and out. It’s something called pride.

I notice that there are a few houses in decent shape with nice yards. Nice of the old cats to give you a wave.Still, the rest of that hood was trash city......
I went there after Katrina. I worked for Phillip Morris. When we got to the hotel they told us not to leave for anything. Order food. Pizza. Whatever. Just don’t leave the hotel.
A while back I was in the ER waiting room at UMMC and a nurse came and her exact words were” I need everyone to clear the first 3 rows for your safety, just incase something goes down”
I am Brazilian. When I was young I did a work exchange in Charleston, West Virginia. 20 years ago. I remember that my attention was drawn to people who were toothless, poorly cared for, careless about the city, and threw rubbish on the ground without ceremony. I was impressed by people's lack of basic knowledge. they seemed alienated from the world. I enjoyed the experience, but I was shocked by the ignorance of the inhabitants of the greatest power on the planet. With the caveat that I understand that West Virginia is one of the poorest states in the country. But judging by what I saw, American power seemed to have a fragile future. that was 20 years ago. It seems that my impression at the time has been confirmed over time.
@jonatasmarosin103 I understand how you could come to that conclusion but due to the release of true and factual information I would ask that you rethink your synopsis since it is now known that the great super power you speak of has been poisoning the food of its people, using strategic weapons of media to influence the minds of the people and created schools and systems that pushed false narratives and lies with a hierarchy that was unjust and unfair and meant to keep certain citizens beneath others. Never judge a book by its cover. Plus you act like Brazil doesn’t have slums.
I'm from Canada, I lived in the US for 4 years. Prior to that I never knew anyone who could barely spell their own name, and they all went to jail for BS. Like being punished for being dirt poor. But all of that doesn't mean you have to be filthy. It costs nothing but some energy, rags and vinegar to keep your crib tidy.
The sad part is a that anyone would choose to live like this,and yes they choose not be educated not work hard to have a better life and let their neighborhood fall into this awful condition.everyone in America has those opportunities yet many choose not to utilize them
It’s also kind of on the city for not razing those buildings that are destroyed. Oh that’s right, because the city only takes care of the rich part of the neighborhood/city.
I can't imagine living like this. Im retired in Danbury, CT. I live on a fixed income. I live in a large studio. I keep it clean, and I keep my patio clean
Democrat U.S. Congressman Bennie Thompson likely represents this district but he is busy trying to bring down former President Trump instead of properly representing ones who keep voting for him.
Traveling through Mississippi mega years ago to get to Victorville Ca. George AFB I had to go through Jackson......Gas stations were not like today, built right on the exit of the interstate.......I tell you, even back then I was like, What the heck have I got into......absolutely no different now than back in the early 70's. You do not have to live like this.....Poor can get their sorry butts out and clean up at least. It's sad to see how people live and not try to better themselves....I had nothing, poor just my 1971 Pinto which blew up in New Mexico, rest of way on a Greyhound, one suitcase with two pair of shoes......was on my way to my first Air Force base.....made something of myself too, stayed 27years.....if I did it, so can the trashy people like this....no excuses. Quit holding out your hand and work for gosh sake people!!!
this is what most of Oakland Ca. will look like in 10 - 20 years as people who can move away slowly clear out. leaving only druggies and criminals on welfare and food stamps. unemployable at any job.
Drove across the South in the 80s and got off Interstate 10 in Mississippi to find gas. I thought I'd seen poverty but Mississippi took the cake. It was hard to believe it was the U.S. A near naked woman was nursing a naked 3 year old on the porch of the dilapidated gas station I found. When the kid was done he jumped off her lap and ran off around the corner. Then this gal - wearing nothing but an oversized t-shirt (I could see her muff) - smiled at me with about half her teeth missing. For $5 I think I could have had any service she offered. I only had a few gallons in the tank but I stopped pumping and figured I could get far enough down the highway to get the hell out of Mississippi.
@@richmondwotters It was like something out of Deliverance. Only place in Mississippi I ever went. I'm sure there's nice places in the state but after that I didn't stick around to find out.
This video is a good reminder that we have to pay more attention to generating good employment here in the United States, in all of our industries and new industries as well. And not to forget we have people here in the USA living in problem situations. This is a good reminder we have to try to do better.
It’s cool you do your content but y’all tend to go to the worst areas instead of highlighting the historical , cultural,and beautiful areas of the places you’re visiting in Mississippi…it’s horrible that people still are caught up in circumstances where they have to live this way but it’s reality and as much as you want to point to ppl being lazy it’s more so the system in Mississippi hasn’t changed as much as the rest of the world would like to believe.
Lies…just cuz you didn’t live in these areas doesn’t mean they didn’t exist, 80s and 90s looked just as bad or worse cuz the crack epidemic was fresh and Jackson was epicenter
Jackson, Mississippi has been the 3rd world since before 1862. Bobby Kennedy payed a visit there in 1968. But, Mississippi always prefers Reagan, Bush, Grinch, Haley Barbor, Trumpachenko Fascisim. Just keep the black man down.
Certain areas of Portland, Oregon, Seattle, Washington, San Francisco, California Los Angeles, California. All major cities have areas exactly like this some even worse.
@@M21655 point is the entire City of Jackson does not look like this, but a lot of parts are depressed but not nearly as bad as the places he visited in this video.
All these dilapidated homes. A developer should come in and transform theses community. there's government tax breaks and city funding for such projects.
I remember my mother's words when I was little and news from Vietnam, the famine in Ethiopia or poverty would come on the TV screen, "Thank God we didn't come into the world THERE!!!"
I cannot believe these people live in these poor conditions. We live in the United States. Both my father and mother were brought up in the southern part of Texas during the depression. I went to the area where they lived. I could not believe the house's they were brought up in. Both of my parents were raised only by their mothers. My father went into the army during the Korean War and my mother was working in the fields in Ventura County in the city of Santa Paula where she had relatives living in the town. My father went to college and got a BA degree and is a retired Income Tax Consultant after 50 years, both my mother and father were High School sweethearts. Sadly! my mother died in December 2006 of Bone Cancer. My father was devastated after just celebrating their 50th anniversary in July of that year. My father will be 93 years next month in April. He is now remarried to a good woman, who takes care of him. He is happy in 2024. AMEN!
Some of the millions they are sending to Ukraine could help to clean and develop this community and its people.. But I forgot that 99.99 percent black people live in this community and more like this.
Yes I totally Agrees...I grewup there.. we mowed, pickup and burned thrash...some people will wash wax polish on a car and worship it but won't mow the grass or burn trash 👈🏾👈🏾👈🏾
For fun, find N. Mill Street where it intersects with Botnick Court and Leonard Street in North Jackson on Google Maps. Set the date of streetview images back to 2014 and see what this neighborhood looked like then compared to now. It's the same area that he covered at the beginning of the video. Still a poor neighborhood, but it was much cleaner, hardly a boarded-up vacant house, people had pride in their homes and landscaping. Hard to believe that one decade could do this to an area!
This would make me lose it! There is no way I would ever commit to this "self-defeating" and "hopeless" lifestyle. No one in this community/neighborhood has the faith to believe that better is possible? I see so many possibilities, but I cannot force my vision on anyone🙏!
Like the song says , There ain't no pride when you're trapped inside a slowly sinking ship ! Truly , truly sad to see . I grew up in Jackson , and that hurts to see .
I grewup in Mississippi....yes it might be poverty but my Mom made us pickup paper of the yard and Mow ...it was a family of 13 of us...but we still burned the thrash..👈🏾👈🏾💯💯
This doesn’t look like third world, this is just low income neighborhoods that desperately needs to be cleaned up, it’s a shame that elderly Americans have to live like this when our government is handing out millions of dollars to house, feed illegal immigrants
It's crazy to think that in America, people don't take pride in their homes anymore, I bet this neighborhood was pretty nice back in it's hay day, I bet it was family oriented.

I am Brazilian. When I was young I did a work exchange in Charleston, West Virginia. 20 years ago. I remember that my attention was drawn to people who were toothless, poorly cared for, careless about the city, and threw rubbish on the ground without ceremony. I was impressed by people's lack of basic knowledge. they seemed alienated from the world. I enjoyed the experience, but I was shocked by the ignorance of the inhabitants of the greatest power on the planet. With the caveat that I understand that West Virginia is one of the poorest states in the country. But judging by what I saw, American power seemed to have a fragile future. that was 20 years ago. It seems that my impression at the time has been confirmed over time.
@jonatasmarosin103 I understand how you could come to that conclusion but due to the release of true and factual information I would ask that you rethink your synopsis since it is now known that the great super power you speak of has been poisoning the food of its people, using strategic weapons of media to influence the minds of the people and created schools and systems that pushed false narratives and lies with a hierarchy that was unjust and unfair and meant to keep certain citizens beneath others. Never judge a book by its cover. Plus you act like Brazil doesn’t have slums.
And to think you and the poor all die.
I'm from Canada, I lived in the US for 4 years. Prior to that I never knew anyone who could barely spell their own name, and they all went to jail for BS. Like being punished for being dirt poor.
But all of that doesn't mean you have to be filthy. It costs nothing but some energy, rags and vinegar to keep your crib tidy.

It’s also kind of on the city for not razing those buildings that are destroyed. Oh that’s right, because the city only takes care of the rich part of the neighborhood/city.

Traveling through Mississippi mega years ago to get to Victorville Ca. George AFB I had to go through Jackson......Gas stations were not like today, built right on the exit of the interstate.......I tell you, even back then I was like, What the heck have I got into......absolutely no different now than back in the early 70's. You do not have to live like this.....Poor can get their sorry butts out and clean up at least. It's sad to see how people live and not try to better themselves....I had nothing, poor just my 1971 Pinto which blew up in New Mexico, rest of way on a Greyhound, one suitcase with two pair of shoes......was on my way to my first Air Force base.....made something of myself too, stayed 27years.....if I did it, so can the trashy people like this....no excuses. Quit holding out your hand and work for gosh sake people!!!
There is no fix for this.

Drove across the South in the 80s and got off Interstate 10 in Mississippi to find gas. I thought I'd seen poverty but Mississippi took the cake. It was hard to believe it was the U.S. A near naked woman was nursing a naked 3 year old on the porch of the dilapidated gas station I found. When the kid was done he jumped off her lap and ran off around the corner. Then this gal - wearing nothing but an oversized t-shirt (I could see her muff) - smiled at me with about half her teeth missing. For $5 I think I could have had any service she offered. I only had a few gallons in the tank but I stopped pumping and figured I could get far enough down the highway to get the hell out of Mississippi.

This video is a good reminder that we have to pay more attention to generating good employment here in the United States, in all of our industries and new industries as well. And not to forget we have people here in the USA living in problem situations. This is a good reminder we have to try to do better.
@matt: “…we” have to do better?
are you a frustrated grammarian with too much time on your hands, or is there an issue with what I said ?
It’s cool you do your content but y’all tend to go to the worst areas instead of highlighting the historical , cultural,and beautiful areas of the places you’re visiting in Mississippi…it’s horrible that people still are caught up in circumstances where they have to live this way but it’s reality and as much as you want to point to ppl being lazy it’s more so the system in Mississippi hasn’t changed as much as the rest of the world would like to believe.
God, I remember when that area was beautiful; still got relatives there. I`m from 50 miles south in Brookhaven. Whole different world now.
So what really happened?
I lived in Jackson in the previous century. It was never like this.
Lies…just cuz you didn’t live in these areas doesn’t mean they didn’t exist, 80s and 90s looked just as bad or worse cuz the crack epidemic was fresh and Jackson was epicenter

Jackson, Mississippi has been the 3rd world since before 1862. Bobby Kennedy payed a visit there in 1968. But, Mississippi always prefers Reagan, Bush, Grinch, Haley Barbor, Trumpachenko Fascisim. Just keep the black man down.
The ghost town, but once there were people whose life was in full swing, and certainly they were dreaming of a bright future.
Certain areas of Portland, Oregon, Seattle, Washington, San Francisco, California Los Angeles, California. All major cities have areas exactly like this some even worse.
What’s your point?
@@M21655 point is the entire City of Jackson does not look like this, but a lot of parts are depressed but not nearly as bad as the places he visited in this video.

I cannot believe these people live in these poor conditions. We live in the United States. Both my father and mother were brought up in the southern part of Texas during the depression. I went to the area where they lived. I could not believe the house's they were brought up in. Both of my parents were raised only by their mothers. My father went into the army during the Korean War and my mother was working in the fields in Ventura County in the city of Santa Paula where she had relatives living in the town. My father went to college and got a BA degree and is a retired Income Tax Consultant after 50 years, both my mother and father were High School sweethearts. Sadly! my mother died in December 2006 of Bone Cancer. My father was devastated after just celebrating their 50th anniversary in July of that year. My father will be 93 years next month in April. He is now remarried to a good woman, who takes care of him. He is happy in 2024. AMEN!
Sorry for your loss!

The other side of Mississippi we didn’t know about
All states have their run down neighborhoods . Go to Detroit , or Pittsburgh and ride around , and they are not down south .
A lack of hope for educational opportunities for advancement can be very depressing, leading to depression, apathy, etc.
This channel should find some trailer park neighborhoods and drive through those too. Let’s see if the comments are the same then.
Really a shame because a lot of MS is beautiful 🤷🏻♂️

This is beyond ghetto. I been to ghettos all over but this is a whole different level.
For fun, find N. Mill Street where it intersects with Botnick Court and Leonard Street in North Jackson on Google Maps. Set the date of streetview images back to 2014 and see what this neighborhood looked like then compared to now. It's the same area that he covered at the beginning of the video. Still a poor neighborhood, but it was much cleaner, hardly a boarded-up vacant house, people had pride in their homes and landscaping. Hard to believe that one decade could do this to an area!
