Now you know the answer to the 70's question "what it is, what it's gonna be like." Yes these towns were thriving a like 30 years ago but now a dump. This is what happens when racist caucasiophobes chase the white people out of town.

There is an immense amount of value in seeing, and talking to people from areas like this. Especially if you’re from a metro area or a city. I would give anything to bring a group of people who grew up in LA or NYC to a place like this as an educational experience. People are living worlds apart all over America and engaging with people who have a massive difference in quality of life as stark as someone living in Hudson Yards or the hills to a person from the delta is what we all need. Connecting with people like that should be mandated for a person who is from a major urban area. Doesn’t matter the coast, if all you know is what you’ve experienced in a city and you spend a week in the delta you will realize what you’re lucky to have. I’m not even from a rural area, I live in a place where there is 600k+ people but the respect I have for people to find a way in a place like the delta is inspiring.
@@kikilosabeyno I could not agree more with you. Willingness and all the other factors aside it would be cool if a penpal kind of system was possible for that purpose
I was born here but have lived in the Chi, now living in Memphis, people living in any major city just don't know how good they got it coming from a town like this, but this is home for real, can never turn my back on the "Delta", Delta baby for life
This town so small I was able to find that exact location on google maps without much searching. I wonder how Charlie decides where to visit, especially these small towns.

@@BLOCKBOI3RD Usually the trap in these places is they could go down the road and get a decent job, but they don't have a reliable car if a car at all. Their parents don't have the money and half the time don't have a reliable car either. Some of these teens will group up 4+ of them just to buy 1 old car and fix it up and get it driving. However it's hard to get a work schedule around 4+ people with only 1 car between them.
This shit is so sad. I was born in Como MS and moved to Memphis in the late 60s and it seems like according to those two...nothing has changed. And what I see, they don't want it to. I've been gone since 85 and even FAM can not make me go back to stay, visit ok, to live, HELL NAW!

Same here, born and raised in Yazoo City, things haven't changed in my little home as well. I moved to California in the 80's and never looked back. I go visit but I can't stay long. Ms have gotten worse in my opinion, poverty is at an all time high, education is none existence, crime is rampant, and drugs have taken over the neighborhood. So sad and seems like every one that can make difference look the other way. God have mercy on my home state!
Loved that the 2 young brothas said they love their hometown. I have family in a small town in SC that love it there. I enjoy visiting to this day. It's a simpler way of life. Don't judge a book by it's cover. They have a sense of community there. I met many people while I was in the military who said they joined to get out of their small town and see the world.
I’m from New Jersey. Moved to biloxi and lived there from 2001-2005. Worked at the imperial palace. Then beau rivage. Lived in ocean springs and Pascagoula while I was at beau rivage. Looking back it was a nice experience. Had to come back home to NJ tho Mississippi crosses my mind every so often.
@@phillipwilliams7534 i just moved to memphis and am looking for a house in desoto county that area is real nice too. I never would've expected that from mississippi no hate just surpirsed that desoto county got so much goin on
@@christianjenkins6075don't show up too early for work you might just get fired for doing so. As a northerner I couldn't live in a state such as Mississippi no thank you.
Thank you, CharlieBo313. They have love for their community but also recognize it could be better. They've been out and they've seen better. One high school for the entire community limits competition. Education, entrepreneurship, and some financial support could help that community thrive. How the "authorities" of the community respond to that growth would be important. It's more hidden in rural communities. Stay in your lane? Sometimes folks need to change lanes.

@@tr3.b543 the world hasn't forgotten about you guys the government of that state don't give a damn about you guys and it very much showing proof of it. They know that they can hold you guys back which is the sad part about living in Mississippi....
Idc if it's the poorest place in the world. Being poor doesn't mean u don't have arms and legs to walk around your yard and pick up the trash or debri. Being poor means you are financially under a certain tax bracket. I was poor at once I lived in different t hoods at times but I always picked up after myself cut the grass picked up debri and trash in my yard. That mindset actually helped me get out of the poverty tax bracket

Gotta click everything ol charloebo post in the sip mane! My second home and I'll always have love for the state regardless of how fat, poor, uneducated, however "incorrect" it is that's the only place I could go to, to save me from the depths of opiate addiction way down in the pits of my depressing hometown of Baltimore, MD and I will forever be grateful I had the opportunity to get away from the hood and come to a state with such southern hospitality. Much love to the sip, Biloxi, MS impraticular
@@987plo well it is what it is definitely don't feel sorry for people from improvised areas. We are usually the "popular" high school students and etc if not than we known what to do to be a good guy and what to do to be a "bad guy"
Last time we visited family my jeep got stuck in that famous red Mississippi mud. Luckily the ppl there are ready to help, not one but two guys pulled up in trucks and towed us out. I love our southern hospitality.
I bet they have some good farming soil there, they seem like they good people. But shame on government to not do more for the economics there, I know government knows these places need the help, and over looks it, if they can help Ukraine they put money into these areas and modernize it.
It's cause the southern states are damn near third-world countries. At least other states are more nuanced with their corruption and make some performative, nominal effort. Down south there's enough bribery and tax dollar siphoning to match any poor dictatorship in the world, it's just lawless. Massive divide between the haves and have-nots down there. Not that blue states are really much better, but they are definitely better.
@@blast4me754 Most have, this area´s been draining population for years, these towns are all declining so much there´s not much point investing in them since so many up sticks and head out, just as they have done for a century. What we´re seeing here are the holdouts. In a way thank God they stay, otherwise we´d be talking about a virtually depopulated Delta.
Back then in the 2010s I would but now nah because Jonestown MS use to be 2nd most dangerous in coahoma county in 2010s but now its doing better and the town use to look worse

I grew up in a small county like this, around 20k population just like Coahoma County except I'm from Ga. Clarksdale, MS is the county seat which has most of the population which is around 15k and Jonestown is basically like a small satellite town with a population of less than 1k. But these small areas like this is literally have no jobs. You'd be doing yourself a real disservice by staying there. I know its hard to leave when you have no family anywhere else and your family been there for generations because my family both mother and father side going back to the 1800s easily in the county where I was raised in, but its better to go to a big city and struggle for a short period of time but where you are closer to resources that can help put you in position for something better than to continue to struggle for generations to come. I wish these two young men and everyone like them in these small counties with no resources like these the best.
When my grandparents died I came here to live with my mother in Tennessee and all my friends said you are going down south where they run barefoot and eat bean sandwich but I love Tennessee great place to live
Dats how I know we cut diff from Yall nigga u gotta make some go on y’all use to that shit falling in ya laps we use to goin gettin dat shit out the mud finding needles in haystacks
I like these guys. The town looks clean but the houses are old and no one thinks it's worth it to invest in their properties. I wish they had better oppurtunities but it's peaceful and that's not a bad thing.
Guess what time it is! I was supposed to sleep 24 hours ago! (But I did not sleep (if you don't get it)) I am not accepting your excuse by any chance, maybe if you confess what you smoked

The black migration from the deep south. Their migration stemmed from race riots, proverty, and wanting better for their families. Alot of families in California have deep roots from Arksnsas and other deep south states.
Big buddy was on point when he said Bellwood & Maywood. 2 westside suburbs that is rough. Lol my Neighbor BO and always bring that corn whiskey back from Mississippi!! And he from Bellwood.
MS is the poorest state in this country so when you watch this video you have to understand why the yards and houses look like they do BUT in my opinion being poor does NOT mean you have to look like you live in shambles either NO excuses for that.
@@rastaboitelly7923 You have to be trying to be funny or you are ignorant (no disrespect)! You obviously are not familiar with the state of MS which is the poorest state in the nation! Stop trolling because you can't be serious!
A serious and genuine question: How can a country be $31 Trillion in debt and ANY part of that country look like that? Madness. God bless the Tribe of Juda.
Cause all the money's going to Ukraine and illegal aliens! The black neighborhoods are ignored and ALWAYS take the hit from these sleazy politicians who take care of the world (for a profit) and ignore these Americans!
In the future, could you ask these fine upstanding youths a few questions? Did you graduate from high school? do you have a job? Do you have a criminal record ?Do you live with your mother or on your own? Do you have children? If so, do you provide financial support?
Wonder if this is a lilly White face behind such degrading questions. That old fake White entitlement is hard to get out of those White folks. Those young men love their community and there is nothing wrong with this.
MISSISSIPPI YOU ARE THE DESCENDANTS OF GREAT KINGS OF KINGS, QUEENS OF KINGS, EMPRESSES AND EMPORERS, CHIEFS AND LORDS OF LORDS. COME BACK TO YOUR ANSCESTOR'S....THEY ARE YOUR G-D. WE AWAIT YOUR RETURN TO THE L-RD, MY BROTHERS & SISTERS.
It's starts in the mind, I personally would be out of that situation, but they are a product of the environment, family not doing nothing, friends not doing anything, no jobs, no hope, a slave in their own minds. Just get out at any costs or that toxic poison is going to consume you. 😢
In a small town it's not gone be too much but it's cool to know how they talk and what going on everywhere like this kind of stuff, Lmao when he said 2 police cars
Did some community service here with a school group some years ago. Nice people here, down to earth. There used to be a pool hall in the downtown area we would hang out at. I distinctly remember a guy who went by Sampson J. Victory. He was a character.
@@LucilleFlenory We were walking around and he noticed us, he was in his front yard with some friends. He motioned us over and we hung out for hours as he told us stories. Really nice man. Sorry to hear he’s passed 😞

Home is where the heart’s at!!!!…it’s no different than a rich person with a bad soul(heart)…people or so materialistic where it’s to the point that they measure success by monetary value and not by wealth!!!
Your only saying that because you see an old book but do not know the content within… I’m thankful for moving out of poverty but the most fun I had was being creative with the little I had.I wouldn’t say move there but I would say you should check out the neat history
First time I've heard of this part of Mississippi. A lot of improvement is needed to better the living conditions in the area. Growth in vast areas overall is needed. Where are the elected officials?
happens all across the country. the smaller towns die at a rapid pace as larger corporations control the market share. If you're near a big center, you're a big winner. If you're not near a big plant or tech center, then you a big loser. It's just the way it is these days
I love folks from Mississippi.. man spent some time in Gulfport… you could be in the worst looking place, but people smile and wave at you….favorite state in the country!
with such urban sophisticants who needs New York, LA, or Chicago? 😆 Seriously these areas have an allure all their own. The Delta Area is one of those magnets that produced greatness through the Blues.

@@amypatterson9851 don't know if these towns were ever "thriving" they have always been more affected by poverty and ignorance than the cities... There is no poverty like rural poverty... Have these areas gotten worse? Maybe.
@@dsimon33871 You obviously don't understand the difference between riches and wealth. All these towns were full of prosperity until about the mid1990's. Then racist government policy drove out the whites and the towns went to sh@t. Just like the rest of America.
I love your content, i makes me feel proud of my country kenya 🇰🇪, cos some pleces you show,i always tell myself i live in kenya but in a good place with good infrastructure.

Like somebody else said in the comments, these guys could get fairly decent jobs because buses come to clarskdale to shuttle them to and from work, FedEx being one. Making $15 an hour in an area like this could go a long way because they could pay cash for a house or some land, I know because I did it. Now true enough they would have to put a lot of work in the property but it could be done. They ain't gotta sit on the block all day, and I'm saying this as someone from the Mississippi Delta.
Is living like this really better than city life? I get it’s cheaper but even the people who LIVE there seem like they’re praying to get out. At least in the city I’m able to walk places it’s not even sidewalks down there. I like cars as much as the next guy but being limited to one form of transportation for day to day life is probably one of the biggest limitations to the lifestyle down there. They’re literally trapped in the same area unless they get a car, opportunities are limited to almost nothing, and you don’t even have a SIDEWALK. I know cities have their issues but at least you can walk down the block to McDonald’s and take a bus to work but this life just seems redundant and complacent. I don’t blame the people I blame the infrastructure.
Fact: In 1860 Mississippi had the most Millionaires in the USA thanks to "King Cotton" plantations. Fast forward 100 years later it is the poorest in the nation. Also, Morgan Freeman has a ranch not far from that area.
Jonestown Population: 936 (2021). Nothing hood going on out there, and I say that as a good thing. I know a few people who moved from Mississippi to Texas because there's no jobs or money there. It's the poorest state in the U.S.
I have family that grew up in Jonestown. What used to be a quiet and safe place to raise a family has turned into what looks like a third world country. Seems to be theme for the rest of the delta. I myself grew up in Clarksdale and still have family that lives there. Can’t help but feel depressed every time I visit. Businesses and restaurants continuously closing, racism, horrible crime rates and overall lack of opportunity are pushing people out left and right. In 2000, the population was at 20k. That number has dropped to 14k today and still falling at a rate of -2.14% annually.
It's the same across America. People are leaving rural areas, moving to big cities hoping for better jobs. But, big cities and inner cities have basically the same problem , no real jobs with benefits. High cost of living, high cost of housing
Desegregation made all the whites move out. No white person is gonna live in a 60% black neighborhood in Jonestown, Mississippi I don’t care how liberal they are.
Cleveland and Greenwood are the only decent towns in the delta bc they still had all-white neighborhoods well into the 2000s. Just give whites a place to live in your town or end up like Jonestown.
Mississippi Poverty Rate: 18.8% Median household income $44,966 Unemployment Rate: 4.1% Rate of Higher Education Attainment: 24.5% Life Expectancy: 74.4 years Mississippi is the poorest U.S. state, with 18.8% of its residents living in poverty. The state also has the highest child poverty rate, with 27.9% of its under-18 population meeting federal poverty guidelines. Fifteen percent of residents are food insecure. The median household income in the state is $44,966, the lowest in the country. Unfortunately, Mississippi also has the country's highest obesity rate, at 40.8%, and the lowest life expectancy of 74.4 years.
Obesity rate of nearly 41%... unbelievable. Last figure I could find from the CDC was for 2015 but the percent of people overweight was an additional 30%, probably even higher now. Over 70% of the population is obese or overweight. That's mind boggling. I live in the "thinnest" state, Colorado. It would probably be a massive shock going down there.
