Born and raised in Hattiesburg, Ms. You are correct! Its about racism. I moved away at age 21. Hopefully, it will change, and the current governors race really encouraged me since about 42% voted Democratic. Fortunately, for me, my faith discredited the racism and taught me early that all were created equal. Some of what i witnessed would make you sick. I hope for change, but it will be slow. I feel for you!
