The South Shown in Graphics.

[Raffi Ella]

160. It's not erroneous, though.

I mentioned Government resources as a generality to highlight that the maps, however they are shown, show exactly how bad off the South is. These maps/Government resource comment are pertinent. They tell the story.


It's all relative as to why the South is the way it is, which in my opinion is Dire Straights. Especially considering that rethugs own the State of GA for at least the next 10 years and are trying to gut the voting act. It's only going to get worse and we're supposed to stay silent on the deplorable state of the South lest we offend someone? As a Liberal, I say it's our duty to say something.

Look, you don't need to guilt me into understanding your position, I'm southern born and raised, I get it. I have teabaggers in my own family. I know all about the good people of the South who think they're doing the right thing by voting the way they do and raising their children in the church. I've alerted on more than one post that absolutely was southern bashing.

This OP is not Southern Bashing. Shining a light on Statistics is not bashing.

The reason I replied to your post and not others is because it shows the South, GA specifically, how it really is down here. Even though the hard core evangelical right wing voice dominates every aspect of life down here, we're still purple. Obama was within striking distance, a black man!

If we can show what republican policies are doing to this amazing beautiful part of the country and how people are suffering because of it then we have a real shot at winning this region back.

These graphics can only help.
