For anyone who wants to say it’s demographics, just remember that West Virginia is 94% white people.

I love how he implied northern states were dumb, but the evidence shows the contrary.

In some areas It is demographics.

West Virginia has a mining based economy, you're not going to have a lot of college grads there.

Drive down 77 through West Virginia, especially from Charleston to the WV/VA line, and you'll see why it's so low on this list.

Sure, if you’re retarded and don’t understand entrepreneurship in the North vs the South, or where universities and intellectuals were concentrated prior to and, for many years, following the Civil War.

de Tocqueville wrote of the differences (with respect to work ethic and apparent aptitude) between white northerners and white southerners nearly 30 years prior to the Civil War. He found the southerners to be friendlier and more religious, leading slower-paced lives than that of northerners. He also found them to be less industrious, even lazy, and less able to adapt and advance or innovate.

Wyoming’s coal mining industry is 3x larger than West Virginia’s. They do alright. Mining has nothing to do with it. Heroin though

Cities with all white people are often pretty liberal - see Portland. They like to preach about diversity, inclusion and racism from their lilly white enclaves


Actually, cities period are liberal.

The largest city to vote Republican in the 2016 general election was Oklahoma City, which means that about fifty more populated cities than OKC all voted Democrat.

White or black, cities are liberal.

How does this line up with race proportions? I am betting direct correlation.

To create an intelligence score, we determined the percentage-point difference between a state's score and the national median score. Then, since IQ seemed to be the most on-the-nose metric, we doubled that value and then added it all up.


Uh -- terrible way to create an index. They should have simply standardized then aggregated (i.e., compute the z-score for all metrics then take each state's average of the z-scores).

If you read this site, it's not shocking. The LSU fans on here are right on that line of low iq/retarded.
