I understand. I just hate for people to think that all Mississippians have no teeth, marry their cousins, and don't wear shoes. Its so not like that. Your being from Mississippi, I know you already know this. I actually did vote to get rid of the Confederate flag (it was actually my very first election). Suppose after that election, I decided, well what's the point of voting anyways. This is Mississippi. It won't make a difference! A lot of people took that mentality. Not me. That doesn't deter me. I was naturally disappointed, but I was just ready for the next election! I know what you mean about complacent family and friends. I have an older uncle who laughs at what "that white school" has done to me. He refuses to vote. He actually thinks that at the polls they take pictures of individuals who vote and who they vote for to terrorize them...sounds paranoid, huh, well this same uncle was nearly beat to death in his own yard by white police officers in the '60s.

06? Huh? I'll bet I know your sister! My cousin was initiated in Iota Kappa in '98, I think!

I don't want to give too much of my identity away. But my school's initials are very similar to those of your sister's. :)

I have an uncle the same way. He was jailed for protesting in Jackson.

and you probably do. Considering how small MS is, everybody is connected in someway!

Yeah. Were you able to figure out which school I graduated from?

yeah. i'm pretty sure you don't yell out Hotty Toddy lol

:(LOL!!!! GO TO HELL OLE MISS!!!!!!!!!!! Hey, did you see the BET Awards tonight? The first African American mayor of Philadelphia, MS was on there! He talked about how when he was little while he and his grandpa watched tv, his grandpa had his shotgun in hand because the KKK marched outside.

Lol i'm more of a JSU Tiger than anything else. But if I were still in state i'd go to MSU


and yes I saw thought, it was a good story but I felt it kind of reinforced negative stereotypes about the state

O lord a JSU fan lol. People be forgetting about us at MVSU!!

I have to say that was the highlight of the awards show for me. I was so excited to hear his story and see him stand on the stage.

Valley? Y'all can't compete with the Sonic Boom of the South!!!!

The Sonic Boom of the South has nothing on the Mean Green Marching Machine!! lol

lol. that's one thing I miss about the Sip. A JSU-Alcorn game's halftime was like the event of the year in Jackson.

What!! What about a JSU vs MVSU halftime show. MVSU had to play them this year during JSU's homecoming game.

haha i can't even lie, a Valley game is always huge. I remember one year when I was real young, Valley and JSU got to fighting. It was crazy.


Another thing I love, all the frats, especially the Sigmas and the Ques, would be stepping during the game and halftime. And this...
