Sure, we had our share of racial incidents, but every state in the union has at some point in time.
I grew up in the state and attended school there from 1st grade to 6th grade (when we were integrated) to graduation in 1974. I had many great friends during that time who were black an I still have great friends who are black. Blacks and whites seemed to always get along well enough. Fights and arguments were no more between them than they were between whites alone.
My family had black people as friends and many times they came to our house and we to theirs. Black and whites seem to get along just fine in the small southern MS town I grew up in.
But anyway, just had to jump in and defend a state that I love. Mississippi has got a bad rap, but it has never been just all about Mississippi and race, though a few make it out to be.
