Some Red State/Blue State Indicia

Why do you think these percentages are so high in the states you point out?

When viewing history or current events it is
Always the thing before the thing.

A course in CRT would serve you both well
 
If we are using % of population should we not also use that same % to allot representation ?

Since we don't and can assume what those %s of representation are, does that not explain your premise ?

"The thing before the thing"

Spoken like a true addict of MSNBC prime time lineup.

So is your premise that areas which are represented by Black People have a more successful Black population than those without Black representation?
 
no
but this, generations with lack of representation is revealing cracks

havent the time this morning but curious the % of POC representation in more Progressive states

it is actually a term / idea used by historians for decades to explain events
perhaps used on MSNBC, dont know.

so if what you are saying is MSNBC is at fault for referencing historians --- so be it
dont really care

Interesting how places like Chicago can descend into madness despite strong black population.

But when you boil complex issues down to “They need more black people in government” it’s intentionally moving away from the true underlying issues that need to be addressed. And yes, some of that is being behind the 8 ball because of slavery but it’s not the main issues and it’s not even close.

I think that’s fine but then you are making nascpi do some extra work to get the ranked totals of poverty and it’s a Monday, man.

Maybe.

But I think it’s a clear signal people that as work becomes more location agnostic that people are going to relocate to warmer, drier climates.

I'm just not sure the move to remote is going to be as prevalent as many thought a year or two ago.

Especially for these companies sitting on 10+ year leases.

Yea probably.

But % remote is way up pre-pandemic (which this is measuring against.

% remote will trend higher and higher every year as technology advances (Apple AR/VR is going to be more productivity focused than competitors - I’m super curious what that looks like).

Think its going to take 20-30 years till the C-Suites rotate with the next generation of workers. I would prefer remote don't get me wrong and I've been disappointed with the moves back into the office.

of course it is. this is a problem born out of reconstruction.
and even if representation is addressed it will still be at least another generation until
that trickles down to citizenry.

Why Chicago ?
Pretty much true of every population center where poverty is prevalent
and systemic racism has been in place since, well --- reconstruction.

It isn't as simple as " more black people in government "
witness the past week in Nashville
--- more to the point who are those people and their qualifications going into government.
Of all race and ethnicity

The racist Tennessee Rep. Andrew Farmer of Sevier County who spoke to Rep Pearson like he was his slave master. Telling Pearson how he had to act to be in HIS Tennesee House.

the words coming out of Nashville these past days are revolting


Supposedly owns the only liquor store in Gatlinburg. I know a lot of folks visit Gatlinburg. If you do. I'm sure you will not want to give any money to this raging egotistical racist named Andrew Farmer.

Please explain how it was born out of reconstruction. Specifically, how is the current day black youth impacted.
 
you would have to read many books or study / enroll in African American Studies
Kinda why CRT would be a handy tool.


fer chrise sakes , our founders enslaved a whole race of people
and we as caucasions expect their ... to just accept an explanation of " our bad" ?
This issue is far more complex than I or anyone can explain in this type forum
I thought everyone understood that
