    The south will rise again…to get their welfare checks?

    Not sure who is winning in this scenario.

        Blacks have five times the incarceration rate than whites on average. This is not just in the red states either. Even the most progressive states have two times the incarceration rate for blacks.

          Yeah, any amount of detail collapses this pre-school division. Drawing lines at State borders simplifies to the extreme how mixed up the political preferences really are. Just because its a Red district doesn’t mean they all vote red, and vice-versa, etc, etc…

          The meme is a good example of rage-tainment. Everybody gets their 5 minutes of rage no matter whose side they’re on with this meme, and not a damn thing is added to the collective understanding. While we all get robbed and crushed.

            Well here is the thing though. When I looked at the data the highest per capita was Wisconsin. Another high outlier was Michigan because of Detroit.

            So it really is a mixed bag. I think this is why university professors talk about things like systemic racism.
