Acclimation Overload

Ok what is the biggest difference between Jackson, MS and Jacksonville, FL? And no…don’t say the “ville.” Listen up. There is a big difference. At first glance the city is more segregated than Jackson is. The population has more colors of people but they are much more divided. Let me tell you, I do not find that comforting. This type of separatism binds the city it dwells in. People only go from one section of town to the next avoiding the part of town that isn’t there color. Don’t worry; I am not getting all Langston Hughes on you, but really people, lets integrate a little bit. Ok so I have to always bring you both sides to every story right? There are some blacks and whites that actually are glad they have their own side of town without the other color mixed in. Can you believe it? It’s almost like the North and the South! Hey, wait a freakin’minute. Maybe Jackson isn’t any different than here. Are they just as segregated there? Is this whole practice old news since I live in Bentleys World? Well, you wont find any dry or sarcastic humor in this blog today folks. Those damn rebels can keep their land, us Floridians don’t want it. We have enough problems!
