The South Is Essentially A Solid, Grim Block Of Poverty

[Pheonixops]

Come on down to the South, left-winged Prius-driving pussies.
We'll show ya'll a good time.

Virginia is a great state (especially Southeast Virginia) , there are plenty of people who drive Smart Cars, Prius, and Versa down here.

It looks to me like the entire country is suffering since Obama and the liberals have screwed everything up.

the hate goes on and on

why?

And yet Yankee liberal idiots are pouring into the South en masse. The OP is of course, an idiot.

Yup. I live in Florida and believe me there are plenty of rich people living here.

Must be something about the beachs, the no State Income Tax and no snow.

Yup. Thats gotta be it because we have loads of rich folks in Florida and last I heard Florida is in the DEEP South.

I also lived in NC for ten years. Loads of rich folks there as well. Good thing because NC is a beautiful State but they have a tax for everything. Gotta take care of all those po folks because hey, they sure don't expect to take care of themselves.

Dude that my wife works with is moving to NC soon...lots cheaper to live there than in CT! His wife already has a job lined up, he just found one.

You guys stopped being the South when you got some money. Y'all elect dem senators. Sutherners don' do that. Governors too. What the hell's wrong with y'all? That's like having sex with satan. It might be lively, but it's wrong and against God. (-:

 

[Redfish]

Dumb thread from a dumber OP. Not worthy of comment.

But comment I must, You fricken liberal yankee assed fools would prefer the entire USA to look like Detroit and Newark. Ya fuckin morons. Stay the hell up there, we have no use for your dumbasses here. And, yes, we have our share of welfare recipients. We also have Atlanta, Houston, New Orleans, Dallas, Charlotte, Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Memphis, and Nashville. So you silly ***** can choose to live in the ghetto called Detroit and freeze your asses off half the year when the sun never shines while we live in sunshine, comfort and prosperity in the south.

 

[Avatar4321]

Just shows us all how much you actually care about helping people.

Ah Hah! Finally the question. Why are southern African americans, who were released from slavery into desperate poverty, still poor despite our efforts over the past fifty years?

Ever consider that those efforts have had the opposite effect?

We live in a society where we act like if we just change the environment, people will Change. We need to instead work on persuading people to change their hearts and minds. Then as changed people we can change the environment we are in

A sad state of affairs in the red bible belt states.

The South Is Essentially A Solid, Grim Block Of Poverty

The Great Recession and Not-So-Great Recovery have been bad news for most Americans, but some people have suffered more than others. We call those people "Southerners."

North Carolina and a handful of other Southern U.S. states saw the biggest increases in the number of people living in what are known as "poverty areas" between 2000 and 2010, according to a new Census Bureau report. Poverty areas are places where more than 20 percent of the people live below the federal poverty line, which varies by family size. For a family of four, the poverty line in most states is an annual income of $23,850.

Today, 25.7 percent of all Americans live in such areas, up from 18.1 percent in 2000, according to the report. Having a quarter of the nation living this way is a problem: Poverty areas are typically marked by "higher crime rates, poor housing conditions, and fewer job opportunities," the report points out.

People continue to vote contrary to their best interests.

What the “Southern strategy” essentially does is it identified the fact that African Americans were voting for Democrats, therefore Republicans decided they would make white voters more aware of this fact in hopes of driving the “white vote” towards the Republican party.

Doubt me? Let’s look at a comment from a 1970′s interview in the New York Times with Richard Nixon’s political strategist:

“From now on, the Republicans are never going to get more than 10 to 20 percent of the Negro vote and they don’t need any more than that…but Republicans would be shortsighted if they weakened enforcement of the Voting Rights Act. The more Negroes who register as Democrats in the South, the sooner the Negrophobe whites will quit the Democrats and become Republicans. That’s where the votes are. Without that prodding from the blacks, the whites will backslide into their old comfortable arrangement with the local Democrats.”

Essentially it was the Republican party saying, “Look, blacks are voting for Democrats so you white people need to vote for Republicans—the party that will represent whites and oppose the blacks.”

Notice the proximity to the Mexican border? It's estimated that there are about 10 million illegal aliens on the freaking dole ....guess where?

And the far left can not understand why they are still the true bigots and racists!

 

[PoliticalTorch]

the hate goes on and on

why?

That's exactly what I've often asked myself as well. But I'm glad you've finally come to your senses to assess Republicans and how they respond and react in this forum!

 

[LeftofLeft]

Yes, they are poor and stupid. They vote against their economic self-interests.

The people of Detroit keep voting your way. How is that working out for their economic self interests?
