When will Mississippi get with the times and stop being racist?

Answer 1

Mississippi is not racist. Some of its people are. Perhaps more than usual, but that does not make Mississippi racist any more than, say, a city with 60% Hispanic people Hispanic.

As far as "when will racist people stop being racist?", that may take a long time. Eventually they might come around to the truth, but there have always been, and always will be, people that think they are better than other people, sometimes only based on a distorted comparison such as skin color.
