New Maps Slave Maps
¶ 10:12 PM
My brother sent me a link to these juxtaposed maps, but what they were to indicate was unsaid.
Still I wondered.
At first you think they're trying to say Republicans = Slavery
But this would just be silly. At least for most people.
Is it that the north still wants to plunder the resources of the south using the ballot strength of its urban populations?
Or, more currently, urban populations in general still want to use their ballot strength to plunder the resources of the rest of the country?
Or maybe it shows that the parties have completely flipflopped since the republicans used to be in the north and the democrats in the south.... Not only do things not never change, they can change completely!
Also interesting: since a greater percentage of republicans (than democrats) in congress voted for civil rights legislation in the 60s, perhaps that was the beginning of the turnaround...
Or maybe this map was created by someone from the red netherworld to say to the blue regions, "Ha, you ruled us since the civil war with a heavy hand of government but we had more babies than you since then, so we rule now! Our culture is unstoppable. We will own the supremes for two generations! Ha!"
