An inconvenient fact for the South Bashers here...

[Ghost in the Machine]

Consider the fact that there are 37 hate groups in Tennessee and 37 in Georgia, per the SPLC. Now consider the land mass of these 2 states.

Next consider the sizes of Delaware with their (4) groups, Rhode Island with their (3), New Jersey with their (44), Maryland with their (13), D.C. with their (9) and Massachusetts with their (16). That amounts to 86 hate groups in Northern states that would collectively cover the same land mass area as either Georgia or Tennessee.

Just a little food for thought, something to chew on before you start your unwarranted finger pointing and spouting your uninformed opinions.
