I know it's been 60 years and Louisiana's history is not much better, but Jesus Christ Mississippi is a fricking disgrace.

Actually it was a disgrace and has gotten much better. Where as some places in Louisiana have stayed exactly the same. I have NEVER gone to an away HS football game in The Sip and sat with black people from the home team in the visitors stands "because we aren't welcomed in the home bleachers"....can't say that about Louisiana.

*Edit: the only place in Mississippi that is still stuck in the last century is the Delta (i.e. North of Yazoo City to Tunica and West of 55). That place is a disgrace and we should nuke it and start over.
