Hating on Mississippi is an age-old Southern tradition.

Unless you're from Mississippi, then you hate on Alabama.

By any number of metrics, Mississippi is the least developed, most backwater state.

My own personal metrics: Everyone's got that once racist uncle. Mine moved gleefully to Alabama. I have never known anyone who moved to Mississippi. Or from there!

I bet MS has some amazing old homes out in the swamp with great fishing.

you're probably from a place that is just as racist and backward as mississippi. maybe new england, the most racist region in the united states? if you feel this way about the south, just say you hate black people and be done with it.

		Blue as they come (Illinois). And on the contrary, I reckon Ohio is far more racist than just about any place I've been. Black folks are just fine by me. Maybe you are trying to read between the lines instead of what I wrote?
