What the hell kind of fucked do you have to be as a state to be lower than Texas and Florida?

Check out Nina Simone's song, "Mississippi Goddam"

Here's Wikipedia too

[–] Harvey656@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

The song captures Simone's response to the racially motivated murders of Emmett Till and Medgar Evers in Mississippi, and the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing in Birmingham, Alabama, killing four black children.

Ah, of course, good ol American history.
