Why is it that black business people and black entrepreneurs are not investing in Jackson Mississippi ??? 😮😮😮😢
Hebrew slaves made America what it is today.
Last living delta bluesman ? The delta blues ain’t dead.
This isn’t about the best part of the Mississippi—this is British people talking about how poor we are while mispronouncing our towns.
Iowa/Wisconsin/Minnesota/North Missouri are the best parts of the Mississippi
"making it the richest nation on earth, also most impoverish"….. that sums up america perfectly
This a BLM documentary or what ?
A great documentary. But "endemic racism"? How? What is that? Please do explain. Are there any poor white people in Mississippi? There sure are poor whitesin the Appalachias. Are these also victims of endemic racism, or does their skin colour preclude this?
The government of the U.S.A spends it’s money murdering people in far off places instead of paying for the needs of it’s citizens.
Couldn’t help but notice the unfriendliness of some people on the video
Racisms can never go away as long as people keep fanning the flames. Stop just Stop.
Eurotrash dude..we don’t do kilometers here in the Great USA
The CCP would’ve rebuilt New Orleans Better than before and more advanced than before as well but our government will rather spend trillions on wars instead rebuilding Americas infrastructure and it’s Cities
Mark Twain wasn’t a captain, Samuel Clemons was.
Down to earth video.

Poverty in the land of the black people communities is a never ending cycle …it’s never ending in this 21st century am sure it won’t even change at all even after thousands of years
Umm Tunica is in MS not TN. Lol. And drive through Tunica it’s not a success. Lol

The Ohio River was the main highway for the east to move west.
Those Casinos did nothing for the Mississippi Delta!

Thought the Murphy bed was a great idea. Don’t be daunted by a basic 2X4 frame that folds from strap hinges you’d mount from frame to wall. As is our style – just simple – yet the bottom of your bed frame could easily be shelves!!
Hi,
Regarding Cairo Ohio.
I went to a town in Mexico, called San Miguel Allende last Oct.
The town was built because the Spaniards found silver nearby.
When the mines were closed, the town became a ghost town.
But some artists were attracted to its preserved colonial buildings.
And they restored them.
Now the town is booming with tourists from everywhere in the world.
Good luck!
Cairo is not in the south. Southern Illinois, yes.
Where I come from – Burlington, Iowa, this river is packed full of trash, farm chemicals, and other nasty toxins.
Mephis is drugs and corruption of the city politics! Went there 5 years ago! They dont care what happens! It use to be such a awesome place to visit! Dont recommend it! They have so much history!
You pronounce Cairo wrong and I really question your claims about the positive impacts of gambling in DeSoto County. You should check yourself before bringing your English opinions to bear.
This story is not unique…it has been played out across all rural America since the farm crisis…nearly every rural town has been in decline since the late 1970s.
Take a road trip across iowa or nebraska devoid of the interstate and you’ll see virtual ghost towns where nothing that is not directly attached to farming survives
Yo
AMERICANS LIVE IN BRAZIL.
This river has been doing this for thousands of years man can’t beat mother nature well will be long gone and she will continue to do her work for thousands of more years
Ever wonder how many people’s lives were destroyed by the Mighty Mississippi due to drowning?
watching this documentary after the river is drying up
I wonder why they haven’t made a dam on the Mississippi and a walkway to irrigate the west.
English musicians robbed and stole from the indigenous musicians of the delta.
It’s actually the NILE
Ancestors

GOD bless the people of the Mississippi River please keep the music 🎵🎶 going on..GOD throught your son JESUS please forgive me of my sins if I ever took anything for granted or anyone in my life I’m so sorry .I pray for all people of the world.amen.
How can people live on 10 dollars a day?
We are sick of blacks.
Why is it that no one has given God the credit for the river being there? and the use of it
My Dad and I traveled the Big Mississippi River traveling to Seattle from Sidney,Nebraska and I’ll never forget it!. R.i.P Kelly Roger Bickford<^>
Kay-roo is not the proper pronunciation of Cairo! Cairo in Egypt is Cairo in Illinois🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
