    Says the person who wants schools to ban books for all instead of watching what your kids do. Always the school's and teacher's fault with the cons.

    So lazy and hypocritical.

    Yeah, you made that crap up.
    You don’t give a shit about what is appropriate for school children.
    We’re just very different people. It’s not that I hate you or think you should think like me.
    It’s that I don’t want my children around yours(if you actually have them). I’d choose private school every time to avoid the libbie crazies.

    Made what up? That you don't want particular books banned for everyone because you don't like them? Your words say otherwise.

    And quite the assumptions you made. No need to be baseless.

    And we know you're fine with segregation.

    Books are banned? I didn’t know this.
    I thought porn books were always supposed to be off limits for elementary school children.
    Guess not in your world.

    I'm sorry. I didn't know I was conversing with a blind person who can't read the word "school". We know you'll just yell Amazon, but having the books in schools for poor kids' families who can't run to Amazon such as yourself is good for all. Not every family has time or means to go to the public library every time their kid needs a book.

    The point is you are hypocritical in that you blame liberals for total fault in a city that is hundreds of years old and has generations of differing cultural leaders, yet want books you don't like to be limited because you're butthurt some don't align with your agenda and blame schools.

    And you are a lazy parent because you can go down to the school and ask what your kid has checked out and discipline/teach them appropriately if it doesn't go with you agenda instead of hurting the kid who can't go pay for Amazon or the library on a whim that is 30 miles away.

    Roberto Clemente is porn?
    The Color Purple is porn?
    Brown Girl Dreaming is porn?
    To Kill a Mockingbird is porn?
    Anne Franke is porn?

    Your freaky sexual thoughts aside about Roberto Clemente, etc, you know you're wrong.

    Oh no. I think you misunderstood me. I trust my child to make good decisions. It’s the libbie children like yours and the extreme libbie teachers I’d like to avoid because of their terrible judgment.

    Yep, I did and I do. That doesn't mean there aren't other factors. If you don't believe that race plays a role in this I can't help you.

    Asking for any proof that the those that left were racist whites. A smidgen of evidence?

    Here's a good starting point for you to learn something. There's lots of linked references there for you to explore too.

    White flight - Wikipedia.

    Bad news for you I went to all sorts of catholic schools along with public drug use and sex was rampant. Pretty sure some to day are furries and meth heads (common in red states).

    So you literally have nothing. Youbassumptikns your opinions but no proof or evidence. You came and called a lot of people you do not know racist because of their skin color. You know two facts.
    1. They were white
    2. They moved away from Jackson
    With those two facts you deemed them racists.
    Racist would seem to be the person using another’s skin color to makes judgements about them without knowing them at all.

    You just can’t put that shovel down.
    This thread has been a huge failure for you.
    All you have to do is let it go or apologize for making shit up.
    Everything isn’t about racism. I feel sorry for you.

    Oh
    I bet there were racists people in Jackson that moved… I’d just like him to back up is incendiary claim he made about all the white racist moved…
    Of course he can’t and isn’t Weber going to admit he made a mistake.
    I’m surprised a moderator hasn’t called him out on it yet.

    In what universe are San Francisco and Jackson ,Mississippi comparable? That's about as lame of a comparison as I've seen around here.

    For the record, Im not giving Jackson politicians a pass. They have historically failed. However some of you here seem to be giving the state a pass which is absurd since that's where the major purse strings are and it is the state capital after all.

    To be fair, I don't know any details about Jackson or the comings and goings of people there over time.

    From a big picture perspective, though, it's notable that Mississippi didn't even repeal the ban on White people marrying outside of their race until 1987 - and that was apparently a very close vote. I think we can make some generalizations about views on race in Mississippi based on the laws they supported and the leaders they elected. I imagine it would be very difficult to actually prove the motivations of particular individuals and families if they weren't asked contemporaneously.

    I don’t disagree with you. But that is not at all what he (she? I do t know) said. He said all she white racists(republicans) moved away leaving all the blacks(democrats)…
    I’ve stated that the state is at fault as well… I just question why some
    Posters immediately claim all the white people that moved were racists and did it ( moved ) because they were racists? I’ve asked for evidence, proof, a news article, a video, anything. Get nothing back. Well nothing but snark goalpost moving.

    I guess you didn't read the wiki link about White flight then. And in case you didn't know, historically Mississippi is racist AF. But I'm sure all that just ended after 1980.

    I've given you plenty, just nothing you want to acknowledge. And if you can find a post where I said all the white people who moved were racists then feel free to present it. I suspect reading comprehension might be the issue here. Also, the post that upset you so much has 5 'winners', 1 'agree', 1 'fist bump', and 1 'wish I would have said that', so plenty of folks agree with me here.

    Every state gets federal funding for projects like this.
    California got over 300 million rewarded to them for 2023.
    So damn silly anytime people post crap like this.
    Another group circle jerk opportunity.
