[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of the plains states: Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, iowa, the dakotas.

Gary, IN. East St. Louis, MO. Most of IL and MO except Chicago and st Louis.

Most of the little towns in the Mississippi and Arkansas delta.

Much of Kentucky, Indiana, ohio, and West Virginia. [/quote]

When you rule out an entire state you sound like a fool who has only driven though on I-80. Omaha is a great city, getting bluer and better every year. Lincoln is a wonderful college town. All of the plain states have nice friendly small towns, that of course you haven’t visited. [/quote]

Yea, it's a weird list.  She also single out several cities with large AA populations.  So she's both ignorant AND racist.  Quite the combo. [/quote]

It’s not a weird list. The PP listed a couple impoverished areas that also happen to have large AA populations and lots of impoverished rural areas w lots of conservative whites in them. Pretty consistent if you ask me.[/quote]

What conservative white impoverished areas are you referring to?  The Mississippi delta?  Newsflash:  it's black.  Beyond that, she just named entire states, most of which are not even remotely "impoverished."

It's an ignorant list put together by a snob.  [/quote]

No, when I said white impoverished and conservative areas I’m thinking of rural areas throughout the plains states, where there is a lot of poverty and almost all white and conservative. I used to live in the delta. I know its demographics.[/quote]
