This shit brought me to tears. To see him and his girl standing there, having to be courageous enough to tell their story, while swallowing their pride, is true strength. That rap crap and all of that bufoonery ain't strength.
My house was built in 1950 and is still fine, and I live up north where it actually gets cold. Just take care of your house! If things fall off of it, nail them back on there! Stop sniffing paint and put some on your walls! Then wrap yourself up in the blanket I sent you and call it a job well done!
I don't like to see people living like this. That's why I pray every day that God enlarge my territory so that I can help out the poor. My heart goes out to this man and his family. I pray that God bless me with abundance so I can reach out to the poor. As a follower of Christ I believe that it's the church responsibility to reach the poor. I pray that God bless me so that I can do what he has call me to do.
Here's a job for him - he can get to work tidying up his house and picking up the trash in his yard. Just because you're poor doesn't mean you have to be dirty! These people are lazy and disgusting. What exactly are they doing all day? I'm sure he got fired because he was lazy. Now he claims he wants a job. Who in their right mind would hire someone that lived in a pigsty? Why not make a documentary about poor people that are decent & hard working instead of giving attention to these lazy bums?
Everyone out of work and homeless or living in a shack didn't make a bad choice. I'm a witness. I'm a licensed RN, graduated in Dec 2010. I had a job paying $35/hr, prn, getting full time hrs, good money. Was made many promises, but when things got cut, my hrs were cut first, I have no hrs for the month of August, and 24 for Sept. I've got bills and student loans to pay. I've been sending out applications everyday for the past 6 months, no luck. Did I make a bad choice?
@rss22 of course not and I hate it when people say things like that, like it's always their fault. Hard times come.. It's really sad and for some it doesn't get better. I hope it gets better for you!
@rss22 Are you only looking for an RN job? If yes then you are limiting yourself. Will you relocate anywhere in or outside the country? . What else are you willing to do? Elder care companion? Doctor's office? Military nurse? Medical equipment sales rep, drug company sales rep? Medical labs? Medical records industry? Insurance companies hire lots of nurses. Just because you have a RN degree doesn't mean you have to limit yourself to some hospital giving needles and taking blood..
@BooBoo0818 Oh no, I'm limiting myself at all. The industry limits new RN's when most positions require 1 year of Med/Surg experience. Then when I look for a med/surg position, they require 2-3 yrs med/surg experience. It's mad crazy, but I haven't given up hope.
@rss22 YOU ARE SO RIGHT!...YOU NEED THE EDUCATION AND THEN BEFORE YOU CAN OBTAIN A JOB IN YOUR FIELD OF EXPERTISE....YOU MUST HAVE 2 OR 3 YEARS EXPERIENCE IN IT!.....CRAZY!
look at the so called mississippians get out of denial it aint no suprise this is mississippi the whole state we are the bottom no state comes closest to true poverty in the us north america except island states and maybe southern florida than mississippi
People who live in the Northern States of America have no idea how it is to live in areas like this. Some people will say ''But this is 2011''. What they don't understand is that the key word is ''Isolation.'' Many of these people live in areas that are miles away from highly populated areas. And any time blk ppl are living in remote areas of the South, U best believe that they're being abandoned or worse. Didn't you hear the man say his housing had been part of his wages? Welcome to Miss.
@jhvenus2004 Well, I know how it is. I lived in Edinboro Pa, when I was a child until I graduated, and slept in a bedroom with snow coming in. No heat all winter, no food-only what we could salvage out of the garden. I am thankful I had that kind of life because I appreciate the value of money and what God can do for you if you have faith. Since then I have gone on to become a college lecturer. I spent 9 yrs. in Vietnam teaching-to see how some people live here makes these folks look rich.
@jhvenus2004 Yes...many of the towns are a great distance from each other. The town I lived in was 25 minutes from a large town. I could not stand it. I love variety and new things so talk about a person going crazy in Mound Bayou, MS!!!!
@Amocee, so what your saying is that he is poor because he made bad choices in life? what about the middle class and upper middle class who have lost their jobs and houses? did they make bad choices too?! you simply can't put all "poor" people in the same basket. many people who have an education and thought they made wise financial decisions are living in shelters or committed suicide. people r people period!
Sorry, I don't buy it. These people are poor because of bad life choices. He probably can't get a job because he dropped out of school at a young age. His woman keeps getting pregnant every year even though they can't support the children they already have. So the taxpayer have to foot the bill for these people's bad life choices. Let them starve!
@RImusclebear Everybody have made mistakes in their lives, the most important thing is that if they know about mistakes and learn from it. Why can't we help the people who have already taken their first step to have a better life?

@Amocee I would say it to anybody and I do! How many illegitimate children do you have and how much money a month do you get sucking on the governments teats? You are not a real man unless you can support yourself and your family in this world!
@RImusclebear Yeah that works for the whiteman because he owns everything just about. How about showing a little compassion for the less fortunate. YOU are only human and bleed just like that guy in the video does. Something down the road in your life is going to happen to you and you will remember our little conversation. I just hope by then you have found mercy deep within. For your sake at least.
@Amocee I made wise investments with my hard earned dollars so that will never happen to me! I made good life choices and received an education You must be a real loser if you play the poor me I'm black card. You are part of the problem. BTW the President is black and he came from a poor family. What is your excuse? For your information, welfare, food stamps and all the social services funded by the taxpayers is going away! OH WELL! Best you be out hoing for the white man!
@RImusclebear One question for a wise man as yourself...can ALL the wealth in your accounts keep you from DEATH? Oh foolish one you forget that "TIME" is relative and very short. Nothing lasts forever and like I said in my last comment the dollar is on it's way out and we ALL will be in this guy's position. The Gas price burst is just the beginning...watch.
@Universalconnections..I', from this area and it's easier said than done to just pack up and leave with no money, no place else to go with children. Instead of a oneway ticket contact Gathering of Hearts and donate.
@adrianeharden i cannot commit to saving a mass of ppl .but we will commit to saving these ppl on this screen.we can help them go to school if they 'd like. we have a mother in law apt behind our house they can live in until they get established.i have relatives in Hernando so i know its not like that everywhere in Mississippi.they live in the country and i love it.but this looks like a scene from deliverance.
im sorry but why dont you all leave Mississippi. you all still living in the back of massas house..i can give you and her and th kids a one way train ticket to the pacific north west.come on now we better than this
@universalconnections this is in a part of MS called the Delta, it by the MS river, it had the the most slaves, this dont repercent the whole state, i live in Meridian MS and its nothing like this, i lived in MS all my life and im just now knowing its this bad in the Delta, i didnt know it was this bad. If they move to Meridian they will have plenty of help, you can find a good house fast here with alot of help...they should move to Meridian.
If everybody in the US would stop having kids we could stop these damn companies from exploiting us and make them pay proper wages. Starve the beast!
