Papa (who was a prominent businessman in Nashville) used to say “give Memphis to Arkansas and we can immediately improve the IQ of both states”

What nonsense point were you trying to make?

Were you under some impression that peoples fleeing blue states and cities since covid for Tennessee were landing in Mempho?

The crime rate in Tennessee will drop by 70% and social services fraud will drop 70%.

He is just trying to get attention. "Hey, look at what I want to happen". He knows it will never happen.

Two things that have absolutely nothing to do with each other in this situation.

On an unrelated note, AOC will soon let us know that black people created FedEx out of literally nothing.

Maybe Memphis, that shithole..... shouldn't be represented?

Are you saying fricking Memphis is the only "shining star" in TN. Are you retarded?

As a lifelong Tennessean, I’ve never heard of anything as great as this. I’ve been arguing we should drop Memphis my whole life. We would instantly rank in top 5 in all categories

Hasn’t Memphis been represented in congress by a 70something year old white dude for years?

If they could make the 100 mile circle around Memphis break off into its own state, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Missiissippi would all be vastly better off.

Hey listen, I was born there ... 40s and 50s Memphis was a showplace, an All-American city. Home of Elvis and Johnny were there at the time, Jerry Lee and Willie ... Beale Street was a special place. Highland Heights, Raleigh, Bartlett, Whitehaven was truly white.,

Even across the border into Southhaven and Olive Branch, Maywood ... what a great place.

All gone now. Worse than Detroit. I fly into Detroit three or four times a year. I've still got family in Memphis.

Memphis is a mess.

Most of Tennessee wants Memphis flushed down the toilet.

With that said, Trump has helped the crime situation a little bit.

The irony of ironies. The current white male Democrat could potentially be replaced by a black female Republican with the way the redistricting was done. Yet it's all racism and shite.

I heard someone say many years ago if the Mississippi changed course and Memphis ended up on the west bank as a part of Arkansas, the average IQ of Tennessee and Arkansas would go up.
