Jackson Jambalaya

There are many similar videos about Jackson, but probably not approved by Chowke.

My wife’s northern coworkers are shocked that white people actually work and live and coexist along side black people in Mississippi.

This guy is a real idiot. He asked if deer meat was sold locally from processing store. Idiot

For some context, this guy goes to a lot of shitholes and interviews a lot of characters.

The main guy he interviewed seemed to be pretty cool. But as I expected, one particular comment stood out from his family.

"This is an evil place and an evil state."

So, my question is, why are you still here?

I met the black guy at Grenada Golf Course. He is authentic Mississippi personality. He keeps it real!

@1:49

Sometimes people just can’t escape.
It took me 20 years to get out of Mississippi after leaving once and returning.
I will never go back except to visit family.
Life is 1000X better in South Carolina!

IMO the only people left in Mississippi are either ruling class, or people too dumb or too poor to leave.

I'm not clicking on YouTube for the next couple of months. I'm tired of seeing ads for elderly prostitutes and trafficked foreign women, in the sidebar. "Would you consider dating a lovely, educated..." (um, no, I'm a girl, for starters)

So, I need some information. Does the entire video consist of this guy stopping in the centers of towns which died during the Cotton Panic of 1925, interviewing people so pitiful they don't own cars (in a state where EVERYTHING is miles from everything else, there is no public transportation, and being carless is basically worse than being dead - so, basically, these are the Walking Dead)?

Who would one EXPECT to find loitering in front of abandoned storefronts, in the centers of evaporated towns?

He jumped from Alligator which is north of Cleveland and is a ghost town directly to Greenville that is south of Cleveland and is and has been a gigantic Sh*thole. Cleveland is a nice little town with a great community, downtown and college. I bet he ate lunch in Cleveland and decided it did not fit his narative.

I spent 4 years in Cleveland 30 years ago and went back a few years ago. Unlike the rest of the Delta Cleveland had actually improved.

The Delta has died for one reason. Farming does not require the amount of labor it did 50-100 years ago. a 3-4k acre farm can be run by a couple of people. Instead of the out of work people looking for jobs like in the grapes of wrath they stayed right there and the Gubment hooked them up.

You want to see what government assiatnce does? Go check out Greenville, Greenwood, Clarksdale, etc.

He also asked a guy if people still picked cotton. No farmer has employed handpickers since the 50's Combines could do more in an hour than 5 men could do in a day.

He also needed a guide. He has no idea where to go. The young lady that said "high end" houses were 120K in greenville is clueless. a 120k house in Greenville is a rental dump.

Don't worry about the Delta. I overheard Bennie say "I've got this."

Life is 1000X better in South Carolina!

Yet here you lurk online back in Mississippi.

3:32 has been gone long enough to talk down to us dolts too dumb to leave our homes, families and farms. Good riddance.

Where is Bennie? Just saw a clip of a road around Bolton that is almost impassible. Thanks Bennie!

4:48 you’re not wrong except combines harvest grain crops. Cotton pickers pick cotton.

Ignorance is not entirely the purview of these fly-by-night visitors who spend seven hours in the Delta and leave only to be an expert on the history, lifestyle and people....There's also Delta Magazine whose publisher still thinks Jackson and Oxford are in the Delta.

...Not to leave out the buffoons frequenting and posting on this page who believe fine dining is McClain's Lodge, Dogwood offers an upscale shopping venue and fireworks at the park in Madison is high-style recreation. And don't forget axe-throwing and let's not forget the zoo.

We get it, Mississippi is a third world shit hole with lazy gov fed citizens who are as dumb as rocks. Now go away and leave us alone to enjoy our grifting gov officials and non-existent traffic.

Based on the comments on this post, I’d say the truth hurts.

He owes KF a commission for all of the clicks (not mine) that thrread has generated.

Like most places, MS has both good and bad people and places. I live here, so I try to make the best of the good and to improve the bad. I do not always succeed, but I still love my home and friends.

@7:44 AM - Don't hold back. Tell us how you really feel about this corrupt backwards state.

This video should ensure that those Biden lovers from the left coast move here. We have enough of them already living in Reunion, Bridgewater, Dinsmor, and Lake Caroline. (ouch)

Obviously, he avoided northeast Jackson and downtown from I-55 to the train station. He didn't venture into Woodland Hills.

There is not a capitol city in the Nation that doesn't have a poor and decaying part of town.

Frankly, he might be mistaken for a drug dealer or thief so maybe that's why.

Not too long after it opened I was in the Ground Zero Blues Club in Clarksdale. An older guy with longer hair for those times started a conversation. Said the last and only time he had been to Mississippi was when he came through with the Freedom Riders. I let him l know how impressed I was that he had been a part of this history, then let him continue to do almost all of the talking. Finally, he couldn’t hold it in any longer and said something along the lines of “this is amazing.” Knowing exactly what he was referring to I asked him, what’s that? He responded something like “all of these white and black people hanging out together enjoying music.” I said yea, it’s something isn’t it.

That poor Yankee had been propagandized most of his entire life and had finally discovered the leftist lie.

Watch this guy's other work. He is generally a blank slate and ask open-ended questions. This wasn't the worst depiction of the Delta.

Attn 9:36 AM. I live in one of those developments you mentioned. I think I speak for others and myself, please do us a favor and don’t visit any of the before mentioned neighborhoods. We don’t want you.

It took 3:32 20 years to get out of Mississippi for South Carolina yet they feel the need to keeps tabs on the hated state by reading and commenting on a mississippi based blog site. Must not be a lot to do in South Carolina to waste time coming to tell us how much better it is. What a doofus.

To understand the world, you must first understand Mississippi.” -William Faulkner
It’s not all rainbows and unicorns, but it’s home to a lot of us who live here and love it and want our State to succeed. And sure - call it a pipe dream or burying my head in the naive sand, but at least some of us are in it for the long haul and not just keyboard warriors. Change doesn’t happen without people to be helpers and healers because the politicians sure as hell aren’t gonna do it.

All you folks that think Mississippi and Mississippi people suck must not venture outdoors much.

I've never been worried about our great state. When WW3 begins we will be the part of the country no one wants. Life is good.

I really enjoyed this. Thanks for posting KF. Some people on here need to get out of their bubble.

If he wants to film some eye opening complacency in the delta he needs to attend Benny’s election time fish fry and ask the hard questions like “what has he done for your area?” and “why do you continue to vote for him?”. I know it doesn’t fit the narrative but maybe he’ll get it.

I lived in Greenville in the mid 60’s. It was pretty nice. A large carpet plant, Uncle Ben’s , tow boat manufacturing and service, the beginning of Steinmart, etc. It was a fairly sophisticated small town. Once the local government changed hands it like Jackson started down. Agree that I don’t remember any, other than small patches, of cotton being picked by hand. Today 12 row machines
Go for $500,000 or so. Computers do most of the steering but you do have to turn them around at the end of the row.. There is a lot of poverty but it beats living in a 10 story ghetto in Chicago.

@ 11:31 - We use the word 'aforementioned' in the more upscale neighborhoods.

@3:32 Yet, here you are, desperate to keep up with Mississippi news on our corner of the Internet.

Speak for yourself.

-A Republican in Dinsmor

Apparently some people have never been to Baltimore, Philadelphia, or Camden just for starts, if you think the dumpster fire of Jackson is bad go visit and film those Yankee dumpster fires/Liberal Utopias.

At 10:50 - Uncle Ben's didn't exist in Greenville in the mid 60s. In fact it opened in 1978.

Nevertheless, Greenville was home to at least 35 new and expanded industries between 1976 and 1990, most employing over 100 people.

Peter Santenello has 2.7 million followers on Youtube. I have been following him for 2 years and have learned a ton about different cultures from all over the world. He just asks questions and the people of those cultures steer the information by what they choose to share. The fact that his videos scratch the nerves of many here is telling. Yes, he is from the north but does that mean he should omit the culture of Mississippi and just stick to every other?

@8:58 Ha! More like Demsmor

Feb 10Th at 4:48....you're a dang idiot if u think only a couple of people can run a 3-4k acre farm!!

Talk about zero self awareness. This guy would probably put deer antlers on, and hop around the field on command.

Claim Posted: "you're a dang idiot if u think only a couple of people can run a 3-4k acre farm!!"

Rebuttal: The square footage of 4 acres is equivalent to the size of 3 football fields. If you think 2 able bodied grown men can't manage a 3–4 acre farm that equals the approximate size of 3 football fields, you ain't never been on a tractor or behind a mule.

"Delta Sod Buster", did you not see the 'k' in "3-4k acre farm"?

Having never been to a football game, I am unfamiliar with the size of football fields. I wish people would stop using them to describe the size of things.

I do, however, know what an acre looks like, and what thousand-acre parcels look like. I buy enough land, and study aerial images and topo maps regularly-enough, that I seem to have been the first to realize that Jackson's miraculous Colonial Falls fed Purple Creek, and were responsible for undermining The Bridge Over Purple Creek. Took me three whole minutes on GoogleMap, to discern what had eluded "city leaders" for years. And so I feel confident in saying that, depending on what one includes in the definition of "Run a farm", it is entirely possible for 2 people to "run" a modest operation like that.

Obviously, you'd want to outsource the more technical work (leveling the fields, assembling irrigation infrastructure, updating the tech, mechanics, calibration, accounting...), and call-in outside contractors for harvests. But farmers DO. And their wives and kids pitch-in, occasionally, driving equipment, when they're not going to school or teaching school.

Or does your concept of "Delta Farmer", come from that Personal Injury attorney's TV commercial, showing a sexy Iowa-Swedish grampa in overalls, holding a basket of assorted grocery store vegetables he's grown in the rolling wheat fields behind him?

I live in the Mississippi Delta and from what that guy is talking about is not all true. It's what you make of this region of the state. Done been to a couple places and every state has some of the same problems. Yes town close to interstates seems to have more than town that don't but you have to appreciate the Delta for what it is. There are good people here.
