You would think after 150 years of conservatives ruling the Red States, they would be more than cesspools of poverty and racism. The big institutions of learning are in Blue States. Most Republicans don't even believe in science. Santorum said education is for snobs and Republicans applauded. What on earth makes white wingers think they are "all that"? Without the handouts from Blue States, they would be a third world country.
One thing you're forgetting though is that 80% of blacks in the united states lives in the south.
Food for thought.
Yea, and blacks make up what? About 11% of the entire US Population?
Take Tennessee. The white population in the entire United States is around 71%. But in Tennessee, it's over 80%.
Arkansas, nearly 80% white.
Even Alabama is more than 72% white.
And in Kentucky, blacks are less than 8% of the state population.
Sorry, try as they might, white wingers can't blame their failures on the blacks. Like they try to do with Obama. Part of a pattern that's been going on for a hundred and fifty years.
California is barely over 60% white. And even when they do bad, they do better than nearly all the Southern States put together.
This is why white conservatives are upset. They have nothing but poverty, failure and ignorance to show for the last 150 years. It's right in front of us. It can't be denied.
