And you still can't spit without spattering a Klan Flag. Scootaloo Jul 2013 #9

Bullshit. n/t Skip Intro Jul 2013 #10

I do not think it was literal. Just that maybe the south has more klan flags. n-t Logical Jul 2013 #15

You have no idea what you're talking about. You did make yourself out to cordelia Jul 2013 #14

Really? This exists nowhere in the south? Scootaloo Jul 2013 #41

I live in the south. I see no problem with what that poster said. loudsue Jul 2013 #73

Yes ma'am, that is mighty true. Hoyt Jul 2013 #85

Nope. cordelia Jul 2013 #108

Don't know where you've been in south, but I think you have blinders on. Hoyt Jul 2013 #109

Must be the same ones I have on. Fawke Em Jul 2013 #113

Hey Katashi_itto sgtbenobo Jul 2013 #2

I wish I knew. It was shared with me on Facebook Katashi_itto Jul 2013 #5

Life Magazine has 20 photos here. mia Jul 2013 #63

Very interesting. silverweb Jul 2013 #3

I'm looking, someone shared it with me on FB Katashi_itto Jul 2013 #6

OK. silverweb Jul 2013 #7

Poverty. Source: Centers for Disease Control. silverweb Jul 2013 #16

This doesn't appear to be from the CDC. Poverty on their map is quite a bit more widespread, jtuck004 Jul 2013 #74

Thank you for researching and finding the accurate map. kentauros Jul 2013 #99

Not a biggie, but if people get a wrong picture, it affects how they think about the problems that jtuck004 Jul 2013 #111

Yes, good (and relatively unbiased) information is best. kentauros Jul 2013 #112

"relatively unbiased" <- good point jtuck004 Jul 2013 #130

I used the word "relatively" because nothing is truly unbiased. kentauros Jul 2013 #134

I strongly agree with your first point, and I will watch for the other. jtuck004 Jul 2013 #136

Wow. Have you ever been to the South? n/t Skip Intro Jul 2013 #28

I have. They deserve the reputation. There are many kind, well educated Pretzel_Warrior Jul 2013 #30

I live here. And the South-bashing is bs. Skip Intro Jul 2013 #36

Well said. rrneck Jul 2013 #80

I live here too, and I can tell you that there is a lot of room for improvement and criticism. Hoyt Jul 2013 #86

Having lived there won't help you judge, and may make it harder. Donald Ian Rankin Jul 2013 #132

The electoral map is utterly worthless. kentauros Jul 2013 #98

Looks like it's the same all over: Fawke Em Jul 2013 #115

"Urban vs. rural" is a more appropriate assessment. kentauros Jul 2013 #122

This is why, as a Southerner, I have no problem with this OP. Raffi Ella Jul 2013 #127

The problem is, the OP has questionable "facts" in it, and no commentary about posting-intent. kentauros Jul 2013 #133

kentauros, is it not true that the South - Raffi Ella Jul 2013 #135

It is South-bashing because of how it's presented. kentauros Jul 2013 #137

It's not erroneous, though. Raffi Ella Jul 2013 #160

Yes. I live in Charleston. I still think your thread is bullshit. n/t Skip Intro Jul 2013 #45

Absolutely... Pelican Jul 2013 #79

Did you by chance to a search for "African American map"? napoleon_in_rags Jul 2013 #40

You do realize that African Americans were not willing participants in the Slavery issue, right? Katashi_itto Jul 2013 #44

You do realize that's irrelavant right? napoleon_in_rags Jul 2013 #51

Or look at it from the position that these factors contribute to the contribution of contininued Katashi_itto Jul 2013 #53

If you're talking against Southern State policies, I totally agree. napoleon_in_rags Jul 2013 #55

Do those "links" include black citizens in, say, Mississippi? Eleanors38 Jul 2013 #103

You are wrong. Low education and lots of religion = obesity, disease, and racial intolerance Pretzel_Warrior Jul 2013 #29
