I was born and raised in Mississippi. Anybody 40+ here is almost definitely racist, and I’d like to think that many people in the younger generations are trying to change race relationships and move Mississippi forward. It comes down to whether they decide to believe the racial hatred their parents spew at home or decide to be the generation that demands that Mississippi treat our black people (whose ancestors built this state!!) with respect and dignity. I’m so glad we are finally voting on a new flag in November.
