Before I looked at the article, my guess for Numero Uno was it had to be one of the Voodoo States (i.e. Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama) or Georgia or Tennessee with TN a strong favorite because they invented it Pulaski, TN, in 1865 and that was the start of the nightriders, lynchings, and all the nightmare barbarism associated with the worst of the KKK.
Zen Yogi: but what you thought isn't how it played?
Negatory on that, Yogi.
Lots and lots of dots for a great science-y vibe.
The process looks valid.
Methodology:
Analysts at Floating Sheep, a website run by a group of independent cyber-geography researchers, found there was a spike of racist tweets on Twitter during and after President Obama’s 2012 re-election.
The research group took advantage of the tweets’ geo-codes, which is data showing where they originated from in the U.S. The team searched Twitter for racism-revealing terms and phrases that appeared in the context of tweets mentioning “Obama,” “re-elected,” or “won.”
They then sorted the tweets according to the state they were sent from, and compared the racist tweets to the total number of geocoded tweets coming from that state during the same time period, Nov. 1 to Nov. 7.
To normalize states across population levels, the team then used a location quotient-inspired measure or LQ score — an economic derivation used to analyze norms across geographical locations — to compare a state’s racist tweets to the national average of racist tweets.
Atlanta Black Star: Top 10 Most Racist States in America
How about a drum roll before announcing the big winner ... (drum roll) ... that festive champion of racism will be the Great State of Texas ... y'all.
Zen Yogi: isn't the winner in this contest also the loser?
You're right, my wise bear buddy, but I'm surprised to see it's Texas.
There's endemic racism in Texas, no doubt, but the nightriders are more associated with Tennessee and the Voodoo States.
Zen Yogi: the big tell is when the Fascists come to Austin this week-end
ANTIFA ran them out of Boston without a shot fired and it's unpredictable whether that can happen in Texas but, frankly, I'm pessimistic.
Zen Yogi: they will call you a terrorist for supporting ANTIFA, Silas
They probably already do, mate, but I will be proud to die a terrorist who rejects the Fascist NAZIs.
Zen Yogi: they swear they're not NAZIs, Silas
It's not important and usually misguiding to listen to what they say. Instead, observe how they act.
The interested student is invited to the original article but do be warned the result is presented as a shitty slideshow and everybody hates slideshows. Nevertheless, it has much more detail than this Rockhouse summary.
Something in Fort Worth in Texas which will immediately disturb Yankees is a part of the city they call White Settlement and that's been the official name for quite a few years. This is part of the frame of reference view Cadillac Man favors so much since Texans do not consider the matter racist. That's just the township's name. The Yankee sees it and says, "Get the fuck outta town, of course that's racist."
Zen Yogi: you're not a Yankee; you're a mutt
Sure I'm a mutt but I'm a heathen mutt and life is good plus non-racist. I had never even heard of racism until I was twelve when we came to America. Note: I'm not overlooking some hideous racial atrocity in Australia but I was twelve and had no idea of it.
Zen Yogi: so who's right comes out as usual with nobody?
You are a wise bear, Yogi. Peace only comes when people stop fucking doing shit which fucks it up and the only way it can come now is when the NAZIs stand down.
Zen Yogi: why, Silas?
Because ANTIFA isn't going to show up with some protest when there's no-one there and no-one would willingly hang with those microcephalic meat bucket KKK sports anyway. The provocation from the NAZIs is basic level civil disobedience which is ineffective if it doesn't elicit a reaction. As Gandhi said, its purpose is to provoke.
The NAZIs are working Gandhi's principles but they also bring shitloads of automatic weapons so they don't walk the walk; they're only doing a dance for television. Those pussies would run crying home to Mama if they had to walk the Dharasana Salt Works walk. That's when non-violent protest defeated the British Empire so we damn sure can take out some fucking NAZIs without gunfire.
Zen Yogi: why do you continually associate Fascism and Nazism?
Fascism IS Nazism, mate. The German NAZIs added the twist of genocide but any Fascist believes the State has the absolute right to do whatever the fuck it wants.
Even yesterday I saw some NAZI Pop Tart trying to hoot Socialism by explaining the NAZIs were National Socialists.

There's some kind of cadre of spoon-fed morons who Twitter about such things but you see from her statement alone the lack of education. The only way she could obtain such knowledge is if it was spoon-fed by another NAZI or she's just some fuckwit trying to be clever.
I'm deeply concerned about ANTIFA in whatever form in America since any return of violence means the NAZIs will scramble the B-52s to obliterate every tiny bit of ANTIFA with the claim they do it to defend freedom. The protest must continue but it's even more important that it remain nonviolent since even a popgun will give them an excuse to bring the military down on us and make no mistake they will do it; they have done it before (e.g. Kent State).
I never forget Amritsar because I was fucking there and saw General Dyer of the British Army slaughtering nearly a thousand unarmed civilians. His troops got one hit for almost every round they fired from their .303 Enfields and they shot men, women, and children.
Zen Yogi: calm your rage, Silas
This isn't just rage, it's lividity filled with heartbreak at humanity's failure. Of course we can do better. General Dyer didn't even go to jail.
Zen Yogi: were you really at Amritsar, Silas?
All of us were, mate, and all of us are today. (WIKI: Amritsar)
Some of us know we're going to take a bullet because there's no fucking way we will order General Dyer to open fire.
Zen Yogi: shoot back
No since that only means they will bring airborne smart bombs next time. It's only through example NAZIs will ever learn of humanity since they don't have it inside themselves to find it any other way.
