Why do you need to remind me that we're never getting another Crimson Skies?

A lot of folks here honestly just don't like black people.A lot of people here seem all too eager to sell out the massive black population of Missisiippi to own the conservatives.
Or the black wealth apparatus can start buying up white properties and farmland and move our people in.Not particularly excited about this because Mississippi has one of the blackest populations in America.
....So if we can work out a deal where the people of color can leave and go to a not shit state, then let's revisit this.
But not to derail too much from the thread, I think the idea that red states are just some random podunk hole that produces no money, therefore they're dumb and useless is tired, racist, and frankly a bit classist.
Like, we're tying welfare queen rethoric to the insufferable idea that just because you live in a blue state you're better...because your state makes a bunch of money?
The problem isn't the money. It's the mentalities—mentalities which aren't shared by the whole population that live in those places.
So back to the drawing board, I guess.
It's what I am so excited about personally. Real change can now begin down there.Just wait until the minority vote counts pick up in Mississippi... They fundamentally changed the way state offices are elected allowing for minority votes to actually count.
Yep, might not look like it but MS is slowly turning blue. We might be last to do it, but people are trying.Wow. Love to come into a thread about my home state and see people punch down on us instead of blasting the idiot that spews nonsense.
Poorest state in the Union, Highest per capita Black population, one of the highest per capital percentages of LGBT people supporting children, and ya'll wanna throw us in the Gulf of Mexico and wash your hands.
We have bad apples in our state and local government, the whole bunch is ruined. But there are good people, boots on the ground trying to change that.
Your beloved Stacy Abrams grew up in Gulfport, Mississippi. Do you think that influenced her career?
We in Mississippi are accustomed to being shit on by the national media and by randos on video game message boards. That won't change.
But things are changing in Mississippi, we are fighting tooth and nail.
And sometimes its pretty fucking demoralizing to see people want to ignore or denigrate Mississippi.
Mississippi's problems are the nation's problems.
