That's glib. Do you know much about Mississippi? Do you live there, or have close friends who do?

I live in a neighboring state and it's unthinkable that the people of this state would bring back slavery or segregation. In fact, a much bigger portion of the population here lives amidst people of other races -- break bread with them, celebrate each others' big life events -- compared to certain other states where an attitude like yours about Mississippi is common.

you're right, it was a joke. What isn't a joke is that Mississippi has been torturing their prisoners and would 100% continue to if the rest of the states had not objected via the federal government. https://www.wlbt.com/app/2022/04/20/years-deliberate-indiffe...

When will Jackson have drinkable water?

That would violate the 13th amendment. Abolishing slavery is literally in the constitution up there with freedom of speech and right to carry arms.

Let's just admit that you have no idea what Mississippians want or would do.
