There was another study out that doesn't get much circulation, that shows the states with the highest percentage of Black incarceration are the most liberal states, with the most lax laws. On the other hand states with harsher laws may have more prisoners but the mix is closer to the actual population percentages.
On top of that the Black middle class has been leaving the North for years and I suspect they are or will be leaving the coastal hell holes also.
I was told the old saying in the Black community was "That up North you could get big but not too close. Down South you could get close but not too big." The guy who told me that said that these days you can't get close or big up North and that while prejudice still exists down South, it tends to be more directed at Blacks out of the community and now the employment and school situation is much better and the black community is more religious and tighter knit. It was better for his kids to be here.
Good start, but with New Orleans failing to make the 25 most liberal list, it is clearly flawed and needs some work.
About 20 years ago in Connecticut, they took everybody on welfare who could tie their shoes and count to ten and gave them gummint jobs, mostly helping the rest get better welfare. To pay for this, the cities jacked up taxes beyond belief (many homeowners found themselves paying $1000 per month on a middle class home) and legislated a 7% sales tax.
The resulting white flight hollowed out the cities and destroyed their tax bases.
In New Haven you basically have Yale employees, welfare riders, and the train and bus lines, and businesses catering to them. This also trickled down into the other towns, next door in West Haven, both department stores quickly closed, replaced by a health club and a series of beauty parlors and barbershops. The drugstores have closed and are replaced by rent to owns, and in one case, nothing at all. Where there were a series of family shops, are now a payday loan shop, a Western Union, various fast food restaurants, bling style jewelry stores, and similar businesses that cater to low income people. Most banks are gone, the realty shops are gone or on life support, the town farms are gone, replaced by housing developments and in one case a megachurch which pays zero taxes. The one major business, a Bayer pharmaceutical factory, closed, to be replaced by a Yale facility which, once again, pays essentially no taxes.
Interestingly, my former home town, Escondido, CA, #11 on the right side, is 51% Mexican.
Jim, I don't think they counted the illegals living in the arroyos.
