"Why The South Is More Violent Than The Rest Of America"

[DonCoquixote]

113. Here is why

The ancestors of the Southern Majority (aka "whites&quot were:

A) oppressed as hell in the UK, taking the hits in the industrial revolution. We are talking all that grand taking of land and other things England liked to do to Celts. There is a reason why the Rebel flag is a mixture of the cross of St Andrew and St Patrick, which is to say, a Union jack with the English part ripped out. That is because the Celts that make up the South were dumped there and exploited.

B) had to make a living by killing people, be they Indians, French, Spaniards, and anyone else that was competing for the land.

C) from religious minorities such as the "anabaptists" that were also oppressed in England.

Of course, what is sad is that the oppressed because oppressors, because Nature demands that the only way to avoid being the prey is to become a predator.
