I predict mass migration to the south

[HL]

(in the years to come).

After hurricane Sandy--and all the horrible after-effects, I think lots of northerners will consider heading south.

I have left the tri-state area for just over 7 years. I went back for a week-end visit a few months ago.

Driving around the old neighborhoods in NY and NJ...I said to my self " naaaaah--finished with this lifestyle". I think I have made the right decision. I am a southerner y'alll

HL, I know you wouldn't disrespect me so I will look at this different.

When was the last census taken? I would like to see the trends then.

Granted you might just possibly see me out there

[HL]

King...lets get to the bottom line. There is a migration of folks from North to South. The most current census will show a significant increase in this trend (which I hope you will be a part of).

BTW: Because of migration trend, i predict that Georgia will become a BLUE state in 8 years. So hurry on down...we need your help!!

[Jawge]

Yup when it becomes blue

So what is going to be left red then, Alabama and Mississippi?

A flurry of racist tweets that followed President Barack Obama’s re-election came primarily from southern states, according to a map that geographically pinpointed the point of origin of the hate speech.

Tweets calling the president a “monkey” or using racial epithets prompted a group of geography experts to try and break down whether the hateful language was more prevalent in some areas of the country than others.

As it turns out, it was.

The bigoted tweets serve as a “useful reminder that technology reflects the society in which it is based, both the good and the bad,” said geography research group Floating Sheep.

The group took 365 tweets and laid them over a color-coded map of the United States to analyze the frequency of hate tweets compared to the frequency of election-related tweets in that state.

Mississippi and Alabama had the highest ratio of racist tweets. They were followed by Georgia, Louisiana, Tennessee, forming a “fairly distinctive cluster in the southeast” of online hate speech, the research finds.

North Dakota, Utah, and Missouri also had a high prevalence of racist tweets.

In the west and northwest, there were very few racist tweets, with the exception of Oregon, the map indicates. Rates of racist tweets compared to overall Twitter usage was also low in the Northeast, the research found.

Some states, including Montana, Idaho, Wyoming and South Dakota, had no hate tweets, but the research notes that the prevalence of Twitter use is lower in those states.

Texas also stands a good chance of changing too.

If you consider that no money nor time were spent campaigning in these parts.
