Why are states with only whites always ranked so high and states with a lot of blacks so low? Seems pretty racist. They're saying people should only raise a family around white people.
What you consider white in Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi is what they consider coonass or redneck trash. There's a difference.

I think part of it for most of us in the south is that we don't really know what we're missing out on. If we were to move our families to a place like New Hampshire or Massachusetts, we'd probably look back and think to ourselves "damn, the south really is a shithole".


I recently moved to Austin. The way Texas handles its business is leagues better than Louisiana. It's plain as day

I would put in the middle of the pack from what I've seen and experienced in other states.


Your experiences leave a lot to be desired.


Nostalgia and taking up for the home team is the only reason anyone who’s ever traveled this country would put Louisiana in the middle of the pack. I’d rather just tell the truth and deal in realities in regard to my state than sugar coat the hell out of it. That’s gotten us nowhere fast. Nobody’s fooled when coming from out of state into this state. Their eyes see better than our own do what’s up here in this state. Hell, we make sure they can’t miss it with the littler and shite all along the highways like confetti.

I could be wrong, but wasn't there info released recently demonstrating that the South is seeing the largest influx of people from other regions?

Does that information consider Texas as part of the South?

I don't recall, but we also hear of people leaving California, New York and other NE states for the South. It isn't a total shithole as the guy I was responding to suggested. I've found shitholes in every state I've visited, except for Utah.

We need reparations. Every state should be required to have at a minimum 10% minorities. To facilitate, the gov should pay for housing and moving expenses to these desegrated areas.

Katrina attempted this.

Unfortunately, Blanco gave many of them a Road Home.

How did all these red states with wholesome conservative Family Values end up on the bottom of this list?

Over the brutal winters where you can’t do shite? I don’t see how you can even hunt when it’s 25 degrees below zero. That place is such a shitshow I think most people in the country would choose Mississippi simply for the climate.

I don't mind the cold but my wife hates it. She's already told me that she won't go further north than Tennessee or North Carolina if she still has to work and leave the house during the winter.

Why would anyone choose to live in a place where you have to stay inside for 6 months out of the year?
