I respect that man for saying, "I'd rather go broke and hungry than give up my moral beliefs." He gave his reason, he realizes what he may give up in the process, and he is not afraid to hold firm to his beliefs. I'd want a friend like him because he's honest. I don't need a friend who would lie to me just to gain my favor. 🤗👍🏽🤝🏽😊

Leo Peridot John Pinestead have you ever been to Mississippi have you talked to people who were born and raised in Mississippi? I live here and this represents the previous generation not the current generation. Yes we live a little more slowly and yes we may not care for money, but you haven't been to the heart of Mississippi and lived and breathed the culture and tradition of God, family, and friends before ones self gain. I have watched these same "poor" people take the shirt off their back and give it away and take homeless and buy them a hot meal. Try Brookhaven, Ms or Grenada, Ms or Crystal Springs, Ms not the smallest town in the entire state.
I traveled through the US in 1999 and coming from a British person there is no doubt in my mind that the “southern states” were the most genuine people I met, whether you like them or not they’re honest. When I was in New York, jersey and LA I have never met a bunch of smug, egotistical, self righteous, spoilt pricks in all my life.
Yeah, I’m from the South and moved to California. People I worked with would make fun of southerners in front of me, and when I tried to defend them, they would tell me that southerners aren’t “my” type of people. The condescension was incredible. It usually comes from a bunch of ignorant people who’ve never been to south and just believe all the stereotypes like everyone’s racist, poor, and dumb. They’re the dumb ones for thinking that.
I'm British, and just got back from a holiday in the USA. I spent time all over the deep south and spent two nights in Mississippi. My experience was excellent, the people were absolutely hospitable, the scenery was serene and pretty and I just fell in love with the culture and fascinating history of Mississippi. As a non American, Indian British man, go to Mississippi. It's a lovely state.
ThePsychoGamers15 Well,as an fellow Englishman who's been there as well,I'd say the nice bits are nice,and the shit bits are shit. Met some very nice people,but also met some that I wouldn't want spend much time around. The poor and uneducated are the same the world over,easy prey for unethical politicians and big business.
I’m 34 years old. I was born and raised in MS, and lived there until 2016 when I left for a my career. A couple of observations from this video. 1) This is not an accurate portrayal of MS. There are well educated, hard working people in MS. While people may look down on the state as poor and part of the south, what they miss is the genuine hospitality the people there have for one another. 2) While this video tries to show MS as the poorest state with nothing but racism and ignorance, they only interviewed white males. What about the other people from other walks of life?! As someone who has traveled the country and met people from various walks of life, I guarantee that you will find ignorant and racist people in each and every state. This video solidifies more that Bill Maher and his show is just a way to belittle people and doesn’t fully state all facts and perspectives.
@jamesstricklin4056 yes they are. The rich ones are like this too with just proper English and they are better at hiding their views but not that good. I know because I've been around them. Southerners have no idea how they appear and sound to others in the North and Midwest. The culture is stuck in a distant time.
So today it's not like in the movie Mississippi Burning or the other movie A Time To Kill? I have never been to Mississippi....but the first thing that comes to my mind when I hear Mississippi is Ku Klux Klan.
Your state literally Banned Books that mentioned LGBTQ people and you've tried at least three times to make the Bible your state book implying that you want to force your entire state to be Christians. The Daily Wire literally moved their headquarters to your state because they know that the majority of Tennessee is as Racist/Sexist/ Homophobic/Transphobic/Xenophobic as them.
@@Cheeto_Fingerz Don't mind if I do: I don't want to be around a bunch of Bigoted Religious Tyrants. Can't believe somebody like Dolly Parton still supports your state.
You can find horrible people in every state to “represent” it. This show has a political/social agenda and they’re going to build their narrative even if it’s dishonest.
Having spent the first twenty years of my life in Mississippi, I can tell you that this video accurately depicts the very worst that this state has to offer, the bottom 5%. Mississippi isn't a state of wealth, nor will it ever be with the way the rest of the nation looks at us. Do most people who live here get to make a lot of money? No, but that only conditions the people here to appreciate more the things that they ARE able to have. It makes them a very grateful and hospitable people, and it makes them no less intelligent that the other forty-nine states.
@Cameron Broadway Okay which is weirder? Replying to a 1 year old comment, or that commenter from 1 year ago replying immediately? It doesn't really matter. Regardless, a lot's happened in a year, it fucking sucks here, avoid this state at all costs. If you wanna see an Elvis Museum, go see the one in fucking Tennessee. There some nice people here, but there are many more nice people literally everywhere else you go. Thank you sir, and have a nice day/afternoon/evening, depending on where you live. 💙
It makes them a very grateful and hospitable people, and it makes them no less intelligent that the other forty-nine states eh? Well, I'm a Christian and grateful for everything I have. But I have a college degree with honors from a university who's business school was ranked 8th in the top 10 in the country at the time. I've had post graduate study too. So what you're saying is THESE people are as intelligent as me eh? Hmmmmm..... And this is the bottom 5%? I always thought the bottom 5% were black sharecroppers living in shacks on someone else's land! And why ISN'T it a state of wealth? When Trent Lott was your senator, he kept getting all that money appropriated to build factories and plants down there! Where did all that money go? Plus, he got more homeland security money appropriated for Mississippi to protect cotton fields than states like New York and New Jersey who had the bridges, tunnels and ports to protect!
@@retroguy9494 this comment makes you seem like you’re not actually that intelligent. You seem like you really want other people to think you’re intelligent, but can’t communicate like an intelligent person communicates. The very best thing I could say about you based on this comment is that maybe you have a high IQ irl, but you lack any sort of awareness. Regardless of your IQ, I know you don’t have any kind of social skills.
Exactly. This leaves a horrible taste in my mouth. If any southerners saw this it would probably only serve to reinforce their opinions about northerners.
Southern States consistently rank as the worst places in the country for Non Religious People, People of Non Christian religions, Biracial Couples, Feminists, Immigrants, and LGBTQ people to live. It is indeed as bigoted and uneducated as this video shows. Besides, they have the biggest Privilege of all: Christian Privilege. It will literally get you whatever you want.
@@Pherecydes I'm Southerner that is absolutely ashamed to be from here because what this video showed is 100% accurate to a majority of the population down here.

We may be the poorest state but we are number one when giving to charitable causes and don't forget that Mississippi had some of the first responder in NYC during 911. I know because I was a Mississippian living in NYC during that time. People need to know that we are good people and proud whether we are white, black or native Americans. Mississippians are real people who care. We may be poor but so rich in ways that other people will never understand.
They why do you consistently rank as one of the worst states for Non Religious People, People of Non Christian religions, Biracial Couples, Feminists, Immigrants, and LGBTQ people to live.
This documentary stinks. I am Brazilian, I lived about ten years in this state. Most people are incredible and welcoming. There is racism all over the world. Today I live in Rio de Janeiro and I see here in Brazil a lot more racism than in my time in Jackson city. Before the pandemic, I traveled to the United States every year, and whenever I can I go to this state, which is incredibly beautiful and has a great history.
President Lyndon B. Johnson once said, "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best black man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."
There's good and bad people everywhere in the world, no matter where you're from or what the colour of your skin is. I actually did enjoy listening to a lot of the people here. They just expressed their opinions, and coming from England, I have heard Americans from the Deep South have great hospitality.

Well now you know how people from Chicago feel when they turn on Fox News and they're showing a black woman screaming about how she wants a free "Obama Phone" or how they portray our city as one big war zone. We're a world class city of 3 million people and Fox makes us sound like Afghanistan.
All I can add is one simple comment. Yes, I do live in the state of Mississippi. And from a young age was taught by BOTH my parents people make FUN of what they are scared or JEALOUS of. Maybe some of you really would LIKE to live in the beautiful state and just won't admit it.🤔
As a Mississippian, I grew up in a area where African, Caucasian, Asian, Hispanic, Muslim, Jewish, and many other people lived and I grew up understanding the differences in people and how at the end of the day everyone is human, my grandmother always told me "never to judge people because of color but to acknowledge that we all bleed red" I don't know where racism happens in this state but if there are racist people here it's extremely ignorant yet rare
Your state continuously ranks as one of the worst states in the Nation for anyone that isn't White and Christian. B*gotry is not rare in Mississippi, it's very common and you're just a m*ron that doesn't know what they're talking about.
@@ethandollarhide7943 I guess that just depends on what town you go to. The town I was in has many different kinds people and different relegions in it. My point is that this state can only be racist depending on what area you go to, and I'm blessed to live in a town where there aren't any racist people residing in. If what I see and know from experience makes me a moron who doesn't know anything than the best thing I can tell you is go to places like Laurel or Hattisburg and see for yourself, looking on the internet instead of going to the towns I recommended will prove me right that this state isn't how it looks and how it only depends on what town you go to that can be toxic and my reason for saying why it's rare is because I never had an experience or seen someone have an experience of being judged because of color. Am I going to doubt that racism happens in this state? No, racism happens everywhere no matter where someone is at, we can't control that but the best thing we can do is love one another no matter who they are because it's better for us to do so, and I love you. Have a great day
I mean it's true. America should always have Americans as number 1 priority. No other country in the world would give priority to people who came from other countries.
I lived in Natchez, and I never once saw racism in-person (again, in my presence), but I sure as hell saw it in Cincinnati and Southeastern Indiana. The biggest racists I ever saw were Hoosiers. The racism against Blacks was so extreme in the Indiana town I lived in that I would not allow any Black friends to come visit because of my fear that they'd be harassed. The South isn't all bad, and the North isn't all good.
If you are white, how would you identify it especially if it is subtle? That would be like asking Stevie Wonder to tell what colour shirt you are wearing!
This video reminds me of a certain Turkish proverb: “The Forrest was shrinking, but the trees kept voting for the axe. For the axe was very clever; it had the trees believing that it was one of them all because it’s handle was made of wood”
Being a Mississippian is probably a mindset. When I traveled there, I always met very gentle people and they were Black and White. It's not about race, It's about a mindset no matter their colour is. And I agree, these people in the video have been cherry picked. My host family was very well educated.
It's not just Race. Multiple other groups have it extremely hard in the Southern States from Immigrants and Non Christians to LGBTQ people and Feminists.
My Doctor , several fellow employee s and the people I ve met from Mississippi where some of the most genuine intelligent people I ever met. Only one was white and he was a top notch doctor . We in Minnesota welcome people from this historical state. If you can put up with all the cold/snow!
I spent a night in a run down motel near New Orleans once and the owner I could barely understand a word that he said. But he was also about the friendliest person I'd ever met.

This is such a sad representation of Mississippi. You should be ashamed to claim that this is what all Mississippians are like. I grew up in Mississippi and it’s full of the most kind and gentle people around. You would be lucky to get to know the people in this great state.
You're right, they should be ashamed. and it's also the same with black people. not all of us are gangsters and hoodlums like in the rap videos. Mass media has manipulated everyone into hating each other. it's so sad : /

it really is. its like watching and listening to people from another world. no life outside a few mile diameter. and seeing nothing but corn husks, incest, jesus and miller lite for generations.
As someone who has never lived anywhere but the south... these viewpoints are certainly a minority. Perhaps they conducted all of these interviews in an extremely conservative county. But the plain truth is that even 'country boys' are unlikely to say things like this. I'm not conservative nor Christian, and I've never run into anyone who has given me trouble for it.
As someone who has also never lived anywhere, but the South, these Viewpoints are how a majority of the people of the South are and you need to stop lying. You're just trying to make our p*thetic part of the Nation look good and Hospitable when in Reality, that's one of the biggest lies that has ever been told. You haven't run into anybody that didn't give you trouble not being a Conservative Christian because you didn't tell them you weren't a Conservative Christian. They assume that everyone is a Christian, they assume that everyone is conservative, they assume that everyone is Straight,, Etc. You're just a idi*tic 🤡 that has no idea what they're talking about and is contributing to all the prejudiced in the South by trying to cover it up. You're being just as R*cist, S*xist, H*mophobic, Tr*nsphobic, Etc. as they are.
I have lived in the state of Mississippi for eighty six years.Ninety nine percent of the white people I know are not like the ones you chose to speak for us.
I've lived in Colorado all my life and I was crappie fishing at John Martin Res and was talking to this old black guy and I don't know how it came up but he told me that I have never seen poverty like on the Mississippi Delta. I've never forgotten that.
@Leo Peridot what I mean is that he has never specifically said that he's seen the racist people there or that he denied that there are racist people there in the first place. He only said that he has never seen the likes of these individuals.
Leo Peridot there's racists all over the U.S. haven't you heard? There's blacks killing whites and whites killing black for the way they look at one another. It's not just one state fucking do your own research be fucking smart and don't listen to other people as a source of facts
When, wealthy white Americans and uneducated poor white people spew lies to get middle-class America to believe people of color are the ones lazy and want welfare, it needs to be exposed and laughed about. That's why we have people on here calling Bill a lie. It's because the truth can not only be heard but seen. It's not longer a secret.

Here's the thing though, I'm all for freedom of opinion even if I disagree with it. It's their ignorance that bothers and astounds me and a lot of other people.
Lol you know youre ying.. smh. I"M from jackson and I have never seen this type of shit in my life.. definitely cherry picked these dumbasses.. so once again fuck the mainstream media
I can only speak from my perspective and I stand by what I said. I'm glad you've never seen this type of shit before in your Life but guess what, I have! You don't have to cherry pick these types of ppl in the "good ole" state of MS, the state that's the fattest, the poorest, the most illiterate, & the state that couldn't even finish the paperwork on abolishing slavery until recent years! I actually laughed watching this video because for every man they interviewed I could find ten white men to say the exact same thing! But whatever everyone has an opinion, just like an asshole.
Tyler Cole Jackson, the Memphis metro region, and some of the larger northeast and gulf coast towns are not that bad. Vicksburg, the Delta region, and most of the smaller towns are. I have been told many time that I was going to hell for my beliefs or lack thereof, and I even had a 10 year old try to invite me to a KKK rally.
Racist. Sexist. Gay Hater. Transgender hater. Xenophobic. Uneducated. Religious Zealot. Hypocrite. All words to describe Southern Christians. Worst part of the United States to live in.
The first place some people run to in Mississippi is the delta, which is the poorest region in the state. However it is not characteristic of the whole state. Mississippi is a beautiful place to live in. It's peaceful and quiet. It doesn't take much to live here. So don't think that this video portrays everybody who lives here. This way of life in Mississippi is far and few in between. So please come visit our state. You'll be glad you did. Visit places in Mississippi like Southaven, Tupelo, Madison, Jackson, Hattiesburg, Biloxi, Gulfport and enjoy yourself.
So today it's not like in the movie Mississippi Burning or the other movie A Time To Kill? I have never been to Mississippi....but the first thing that comes to my mind when I hear Mississippi is Ku Klux Klan.
For whatever reason I can't see the upload date, but as a Russian who lives in Norway and has lived in America before, specifically Texas for 7 years, Mississippi is far from the most conservative. There are many majority-black Democrat counties. It's a lovely state with great history and culture. This man definitely did cherry pick, Mississippi tends to be more conservative than some other states, but many people there are completely sane people who vote for the candidates they support in good faith. How can you claim 40-50% of a country has malicious intent just because they vote for a certain person? I'm not a huge fan of the current GOP and two party system, but I think the people of Mississippi politics aside are definitely some of the most down to earth and hospitable people I've met. This stereotyping of hard working Americans needs to stop.
Yes but white Mississippians are arguably the most conservative or at least up there, they have alot of black people who are majority democrat 40%+, yet the state still heavily votes conservative due to white Mississippians.

Also, in the USA, as soon as I learnt the language and grasped the different customs and values, everyone instantly saw me as an American, that is not the case in any other country. Here I’ve been told to learn the language before I move here (which I in fact did almost a year in advance) just for asking someone to repeat something for not speaking clearly.

I respect that man for saying, "I'd rather go broke and hungry than give up my moral beliefs." He gave his reason, he realizes what he may give up in the process, and he is not afraid to hold firm to his beliefs. I'd want a friend like him because he's honest. I don't need a friend who would lie to me just to gain my favor. 🤗👍🏽🤝🏽😊

I traveled through the US in 1999 and coming from a British person there is no doubt in my mind that the “southern states” were the most genuine people I met, whether you like them or not they’re honest. When I was in New York, jersey and LA I have never met a bunch of smug, egotistical, self righteous, spoilt pricks in all my life.
The Last Danite Why are you putting politics into this? It’s not just the leftists that insult poor people. What a crazy thing to say.
@@katesleuth1156 in fact it seems to mainly be GOP politicians
Yeah, I’m from the South and moved to California. People I worked with would make fun of southerners in front of me, and when I tried to defend them, they would tell me that southerners aren’t “my” type of people. The condescension was incredible. It usually comes from a bunch of ignorant people who’ve never been to south and just believe all the stereotypes like everyone’s racist, poor, and dumb. They’re the dumb ones for thinking that.
@@trylikeafool It’s ignorant people that insult others to make themselves feel good. You find them everywhere in world.

I'm British, and just got back from a holiday in the USA. I spent time all over the deep south and spent two nights in Mississippi. My experience was excellent, the people were absolutely hospitable, the scenery was serene and pretty and I just fell in love with the culture and fascinating history of Mississippi. As a non American, Indian British man, go to Mississippi. It's a lovely state.

I’m 34 years old. I was born and raised in MS, and lived there until 2016 when I left for a my career. A couple of observations from this video. 1) This is not an accurate portrayal of MS. There are well educated, hard working people in MS. While people may look down on the state as poor and part of the south, what they miss is the genuine hospitality the people there have for one another. 2) While this video tries to show MS as the poorest state with nothing but racism and ignorance, they only interviewed white males. What about the other people from other walks of life?! As someone who has traveled the country and met people from various walks of life, I guarantee that you will find ignorant and racist people in each and every state. This video solidifies more that Bill Maher and his show is just a way to belittle people and doesn’t fully state all facts and perspectives.
They only included white males in this clip. There is a clip of a black man as a part of Pelosi's original video who tore her to shreds.

@@theworldbegoinup3289 Well, aren't YOU a class act.
Having spent the first twenty years of my life in Mississippi, I can tell you that this video accurately depicts the very worst that this state has to offer, the bottom 5%. Mississippi isn't a state of wealth, nor will it ever be with the way the rest of the nation looks at us. Do most people who live here get to make a lot of money? No, but that only conditions the people here to appreciate more the things that they ARE able to have. It makes them a very grateful and hospitable people, and it makes them no less intelligent that the other forty-nine states.
@Cameron Broadway Okay which is weirder? Replying to a 1 year old comment, or that commenter from 1 year ago replying immediately? It doesn't really matter. Regardless, a lot's happened in a year, it fucking sucks here, avoid this state at all costs. If you wanna see an Elvis Museum, go see the one in fucking Tennessee. There some nice people here, but there are many more nice people literally everywhere else you go. Thank you sir, and have a nice day/afternoon/evening, depending on where you live. 💙
It makes them a very grateful and hospitable people, and it makes them no less intelligent that the other forty-nine states eh? Well, I'm a Christian and grateful for everything I have. But I have a college degree with honors from a university who's business school was ranked 8th in the top 10 in the country at the time. I've had post graduate study too. So what you're saying is THESE people are as intelligent as me eh? Hmmmmm.....
And this is the bottom 5%? I always thought the bottom 5% were black sharecroppers living in shacks on someone else's land!
And why ISN'T it a state of wealth? When Trent Lott was your senator, he kept getting all that money appropriated to build factories and plants down there! Where did all that money go? Plus, he got more homeland security money appropriated for Mississippi to protect cotton fields than states like New York and New Jersey who had the bridges, tunnels and ports to protect!

As a Mississippian, I grew up in a area where African, Caucasian, Asian, Hispanic, Muslim, Jewish, and many other people lived and I grew up understanding the differences in people and how at the end of the day everyone is human, my grandmother always told me "never to judge people because of color but to acknowledge that we all bleed red" I don't know where racism happens in this state but if there are racist people here it's extremely ignorant yet rare
Your state continuously ranks as one of the worst states in the Nation for anyone that isn't White and Christian. B*gotry is not rare in Mississippi, it's very common and you're just a m*ron that doesn't know what they're talking about.
@@ethandollarhide7943 I guess that just depends on what town you go to. The town I was in has many different kinds people and different relegions in it. My point is that this state can only be racist depending on what area you go to, and I'm blessed to live in a town where there aren't any racist people residing in. If what I see and know from experience makes me a moron who doesn't know anything than the best thing I can tell you is go to places like Laurel or Hattisburg and see for yourself, looking on the internet instead of going to the towns I recommended will prove me right that this state isn't how it looks and how it only depends on what town you go to that can be toxic and my reason for saying why it's rare is because I never had an experience or seen someone have an experience of being judged because of color. Am I going to doubt that racism happens in this state? No, racism happens everywhere no matter where someone is at, we can't control that but the best thing we can do is love one another no matter who they are because it's better for us to do so, and I love you. Have a great day

As someone who has never lived anywhere but the south... these viewpoints are certainly a minority. Perhaps they conducted all of these interviews in an extremely conservative county. But the plain truth is that even 'country boys' are unlikely to say things like this.
I'm not conservative nor Christian, and I've never run into anyone who has given me trouble for it.
As someone who has also never lived anywhere, but the South, these Viewpoints are how a majority of the people of the South are and you need to stop lying. You're just trying to make our p*thetic part of the Nation look good and Hospitable when in Reality, that's one of the biggest lies that has ever been told. You haven't run into anybody that didn't give you trouble not being a Conservative Christian because you didn't tell them you weren't a Conservative Christian. They assume that everyone is a Christian, they assume that everyone is conservative, they assume that everyone is Straight,, Etc. You're just a idi*tic 🤡 that has no idea what they're talking about and is contributing to all the prejudiced in the South by trying to cover it up. You're being just as R*cist, S*xist, H*mophobic, Tr*nsphobic, Etc. as they are.
I have lived in the state of Mississippi for eighty six years.Ninety nine percent of the white people I know are not like the ones you chose to speak for us.
yes you are indeed right,by the way sir,do you happen to know what SDLG is???
Damn u old
I've lived in Colorado all my life and I was crappie fishing at John Martin Res and was talking to this old black guy and I don't know how it came up but he told me that I have never seen poverty like on the Mississippi Delta. I've never forgotten that.
I have lived in Mississippi my whole life and to be honest I can't wait to leave this state beacause of people like this
What are you waiting for?

Yea. I live in a very nice town in MS. And it ain’t anything like this lol
I fell in love with Mississippi and that wonderful accent the first time I heard native son Conway's voice.
Lordy! 💋
yo...I have family in Water Valley Ms and I have never seen the likes of these individuals there.....
@Leo Peridot he never said that there weren't.
@Leo Peridot what I mean is that he has never specifically said that he's seen the racist people there or that he denied that there are racist people there in the first place. He only said that he has never seen the likes of these individuals.
Leo Peridot there's racists all over the U.S. haven't you heard? There's blacks killing whites and whites killing black for the way they look at one another. It's not just one state fucking do your own research be fucking smart and don't listen to other people as a source of facts
@@boydboys9084 they won't. Liberals want blacks to remain the victims no matter what the cost.
Leo Peridot there r racist everywhere bitch not just in the south
There is no need to make fun of these people, they make fun of themselves.
When, wealthy white Americans and uneducated poor white people spew lies to get middle-class America to believe people of color are the ones lazy and want welfare, it needs to be exposed and laughed about. That's why we have people on here calling Bill a lie. It's because the truth can not only be heard but seen. It's not longer a secret.
007 Lanski Did somebody in Mississippi screw your wife or something? Your obviously uneducated. Go to any state in the USA and you’ll find idiots. Anybody with common sense can tell this is purely propaganda.
Find a state with Zero depressed people. Goose egg.
I live in MS and this actually really inaccurate most people in MS are not like this and also they are probably actors
And if I went into the urban decay of a big city and interviewed those people, how would that sound?
I am Mississippi born and raised and for the (hopefully) few of you who feel like this documentary is somehow propaganda, Trust me it's not! This is the typical mindset of a white Mississippian. Here's the thing though, I'm all for freedom of opinion even if I disagree with it. It's their ignorance that bothers and astounds me and a lot of other people.
Lol you know youre ying.. smh. I"M from jackson and I have never seen this type of shit in my life.. definitely cherry picked these dumbasses.. so once again fuck the mainstream media
I can only speak from my perspective and I stand by what I said. I'm glad you've never seen this type of shit before in your Life but guess what, I have! You don't have to cherry pick these types of ppl in the "good ole" state of MS, the state that's the fattest, the poorest, the most illiterate, & the state that couldn't even finish the paperwork on abolishing slavery until recent years! I actually laughed watching this video because for every man they interviewed I could find ten white men to say the exact same thing! But whatever everyone has an opinion, just like an asshole.
Tyler Cole Jackson, the Memphis metro region, and some of the larger northeast and gulf coast towns are not that bad. Vicksburg, the Delta region, and most of the smaller towns are. I have been told many time that I was going to hell for my beliefs or lack thereof, and I even had a 10 year old try to invite me to a KKK rally.
+leviticus ftw your idea of 'mainstream media' is a tad off.........
+tristan hampton Where do you live that ppl are like these ppl?? This was absolutely propaganda with very specifically chosen idiots.
I didnt know Muslim was a nationality
1:36 "This is America. Our president should be American, not Muslim."
riight...
Weird because there are plenty of Muslim Americans, and Muslim is not a nationality.
Well America is founded on Christian values
More like Enlightenment values
@kevinknight1 Demonstrably prove your claim, or STFU and stop repeating idiotic lies.
WOW do you sound stupid
Proud to be a strong Southern Woman. And a believing one. 👍🏻🇺🇸

@@BabzaiWWP Southerner is not a race, idiot and neither is Muslim like the Southern idiot in this video thinks.

Ignorance is a Southern tradition.
The first place some people run to in Mississippi is the delta, which is the poorest region in the state. However it is not characteristic of the whole state. Mississippi is a beautiful place to live in. It's peaceful and quiet. It doesn't take much to live here. So don't think that this video portrays everybody who lives here. This way of life in Mississippi is far and few in between. So please come visit our state. You'll be glad you did. Visit places in Mississippi like Southaven, Tupelo, Madison, Jackson, Hattiesburg, Biloxi, Gulfport and enjoy yourself.
So today it's not like in the movie Mississippi Burning or the other movie A Time To Kill? I have never been to Mississippi....but the first thing that comes to my mind when I hear Mississippi is Ku Klux Klan.
@@Tony-fb1gd you definitely shouldn't go.
@@drunkytheclown4727 Because?
Their accent.. awesome! I really like it
You can talk like that all you have to do is cram your mouth full of shit. Excuse me I mean cram it full of sheeet.
This is about as “cherry-picking” as it gets. This is so biased he should be slapped in the face for saying what he said at the beginning of the video
The segment, to me, was interesting but I felt like they showed one demographic: old white men.
For whatever reason I can't see the upload date, but as a Russian who lives in Norway and has lived in America before, specifically Texas for 7 years, Mississippi is far from the most conservative. There are many majority-black Democrat counties. It's a lovely state with great history and culture. This man definitely did cherry pick, Mississippi tends to be more conservative than some other states, but many people there are completely sane people who vote for the candidates they support in good faith. How can you claim 40-50% of a country has malicious intent just because they vote for a certain person? I'm not a huge fan of the current GOP and two party system, but I think the people of Mississippi politics aside are definitely some of the most down to earth and hospitable people I've met. This stereotyping of hard working Americans needs to stop.
Yes but white Mississippians are arguably the most conservative or at least up there, they have alot of black people who are majority democrat 40%+, yet the state still heavily votes conservative due to white Mississippians.
It's not about how hard they work. It's about how they treat others and Southerners are awful people when it comes to their treatment of others.
@@ethandollarhide7943 Well I’m sad to hear that that’s your experience, but it’s certainly not mine. Southerners are some of the most respectful and down to earth people I’ve met, they treat me much better than Norwegians do right now
@@yurippp634 Dude, Southern States consistently rank as the worst places in the United States for Non Religious People, People of Non Christian religions, Biracial Couples, Feminists, Men that are more Feminine than Masculine, Immigrants, and LGBTQ people to live. The South is a very bigoted place and their hospitality is just another word for being fake. You are living in one of the Real Greatest Nations on Earth. The United States is more like a Christian Theocracy because of this people. So Stop acting like you know more about the South than someone that has been trapped in it their entire life.
@@ethandollarhide7943 I’ve lived in Texas myself as an immigrant and at the time an agnostic and visited other southern states quite often, so an argument from authority isn’t particularly applicable here. Yes while Norway does on paper have higher living standards, I miss the higher salaries, lower taxes, quicker and more convenient and accessible (albeit expensive) healthcare system, etc. In Norway it is very depressing during the winter and the town in particular where I live has a suicide rate well above the American national average. “Christian theocracy” is just an irrelevant over exaggeration that I don’t find to be true at all, many countries in Europe including Norway have declared Christianity as its national religion, USA hasn’t. Also, in the USA, as soon as I learnt the language and grasped the different customs and values, everyone instantly saw me as an American, that is not the case in any other country. Here I’ve been told to learn the language before I move here (which I in fact did almost a year in advance) just for asking someone to repeat something for not speaking clearly. I’m not disputing that different people have different experiences at all, but neither should you

I'm from Mississippi love my home state but I moved because of pay...It's a lot of beautiful places & homes...The state need pay increase & more jobs.
Leo Peridot ok that's actually true they raised pay and the price of gas went from $3 a gallon to $3.50 a gallon. That's the first comment of yours I've read that was actually true out of about 50
I'm a customer service representative and now that i remember most of the calls i attend are from mississipi. That explains quite a lot.
I'm black and California born but my grandparents live down there. Been several times and I really enjoyed it.. I will say having a little money and owning some land goes a long way down there.
I have seen a lot of people like that in River Vale, New Jersey. Maher's home town.
Maher isn't the intellectual he thinks he is. He's really bad at cloaking his self-serving views as "the moral high ground". If he likes porn and black women, that's fine. But he pretends it's for a noble cause. 😆
"well go to the inner city and get there views"
never actually did that just want to target conservatives
Of course!🙄
I think we need to do a bunch of videos of people talking in New York Washington and California I think it would be pretty damn funny just to listen to how they talk
The fact all the unreasonable hate and contempt towards Southerners comes from the side that claims to be "tolerant and welcoming" is absolutely ironic.
They just don't want to admit their own hypocrisy.
It's not " unreasonable hate" Prejudiced Theocrats should always be mocked.
Also "Tolerant Left" is a lie created by right wing media. Prejudice and Theocracy will never be tolerated.
“You put god back in the saddle, and we’ll be ok.” Was the hidden gem amongst that crap.
That is a clear violation of the First Amendment. This people are constantly bragging about how much they love the Constitution but ignore everything it says about religion. Hypocrites
@@ethandollarhide7943 does the Constitution ban religious opinion? It separates church and state. Does America have a government sponsored Church. The answer to that riddle is no

@@monkaZETTA I'm tired of the South. I'm tired of the "Bible Belt" region of this country. It's not a democracy down here, it's a Christian Theocracy. I'm tired of having to live under the rules of a religion that I don't believe in.
This is not a representation of mississippi. There are people seen in this video that are found in every state of the nation and in every country in the world.
It's accurate to how 99% of the South is.
"This is America. Our president should be American. Not muslim!" lol I'm muslim and I liked it 😂
alexander The Great It’s sad that you didn’t understand that he was talking about the United States of America.
Alex the Not-So-Great What are you talking about? The North American Continent is made up of 3 different Countries: Canada, United States & Mexico (and Greenland geographically). America is just a Nickname for the United States, mostly because it's easier to say. You're welcome.
2:15 This sums up America’s hatred of socialism.
Gosh i love this accent and the interviewees make it even more hilarious

Sadly, Toyota's are more American made than any American brand vehicle. So, he's not completely retarded.
