No one had the foresight to realize that abolition would destroy the cotton economy as it existed. So of course MS didnt bother to put any resources toward education.
And now its dead last in education and GDP per capita.
WM generates too much money. i wouldn't want to see it headquartered in some foreign nation. i'm fine w/it being American and i prefer it.
so move that joint to like Missouri or Utah or Delaware but the rest of Arkansas can go as far as i can tell. dog racing (the only thing i know about Arkansas other than Wal-Mart and college football) ain't that important to me.

black communities all over the country.
I'd say NYC, Chicago, and DC have some of the proudest, most self-assured black people in the country.
Meanwhile you go to some of these southern states (yes I know DC is in the south) and the black folks seem to think Jim Crow is still in effect.
