race and politics


Nationwide and generally speaking, white men are not very progressive.

Here's a map that proves my point.

Take a good look at Alabama and Mississippi.

Now take a look at Oregon and Washington, which are geographically, economically, and ideologically as far away from Alabama and Mississippi as you can get and still be on the continental map.

See also the House of Representatives Progressive Caucus, which is disproportionately black, Hispanic, and female, containing few white men compared to their numbers in the population at large.

What does all this tell you about the future of this country? What does it tell you about the past?

I live in Washington State, by the way.
