Apparently this is a thing in Arkansas, Mississippi, and Alabama.

12700832, Mississippi was fools gold
Posted by cgonz00cc, Fri Jan-16-15 12:38 PM
No one had the foresight to realize that abolition would destroy the cotton economy as it existed. So of course MS didnt bother to put any resources toward education.
And now its dead last in education and GDP per capita.

12700837, what does Mississippi produce other than statistics?

12700838, Arkansas has Wal-Mart's headquarters and the Walton family.
Posted by SoWhat, Fri Jan-16-15 12:40 PM
but those can be moved to another state.
so if we lose Arkansas after moving the Wal-World, what's lost, really?
|
12700843, i think excising WalMart like a tumor might not be so bad

12700848, can't be done.
Posted by SoWhat, Fri Jan-16-15 12:43 PM
WM generates too much money. i wouldn't want to see it headquartered in some foreign nation. i'm fine w/it being American and i prefer it.
so move that joint to like Missouri or Utah or Delaware but the rest of Arkansas can go as far as i can tell. dog racing (the only thing i know about Arkansas other than Wal-Mart and college football) ain't that important to me.

12701470, My goal is to turn about 15 states back into territories.
Posted by Lardlad95, Sat Jan-17-15 05:43 AM
I mean the citizens of the state will be allowed to vote in national elections, but they aren't getting senators and shit.
Most of the land will be turned into national parks and nature preserves.

12700815, Virginia has Lee-Jackson-King day
Posted by legsdiamond, Fri Jan-16-15 12:29 PM

12701471, Black people aren't alike all over. There are huge disparities between
Posted by Lardlad95, Sat Jan-17-15 05:45 AM
black communities all over the country.
I'd say NYC, Chicago, and DC have some of the proudest, most self-assured black people in the country.
Meanwhile you go to some of these southern states (yes I know DC is in the south) and the black folks seem to think Jim Crow is still in effect.

And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
